Chapter 9: Forming a Contract

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

That was enough. Jon didn’t necessarily need to gain much from her. To him, the reward for killing the demon forest monsters was already rich enough. His main goal was to form a cooperative relationship with Iris.

After all, he did not descend in his true form. If he wanted to destroy the demon forest monsters, he had to return to the water elemental plane and let Iris summon him again. Only then would he be able to use his true form to respond to her summons. Only then would he have enough power to support him in completing this task.

Thus, it was very important to establish a cooperative relationship. After all, without a human summoning him, he wouldn’t be able to come to the mortal continent on his own.

“Then I’ll return first. Wait until you reach the demon forest monster race’s headquarters before summoning me.”

“Wait a moment!” Iris called out to him, “Sir… Sir, can you form a contract with me? Don’t misunderstand me, I don’t mean to be above you, but if I don’t sign a contract, I might not be able to summon you again. The creatures summoned by summoning magic are completely random. The number of creatures in the water elemental plane is as many as the grains of sand. Without a contract, the summoner might not be able to summon the same creature twice in his lifetime.”

Iris continued, “Of course, I want to conclude an equal contract with you that follows the principle of voluntariness. I have to seek your consent in advance before I summon you. I cannot forcefully summon you, nor can I command you to do anything. Every time I summon you, and if I need your help, we can also discuss the matter of remuneration.”

Iris finished her talking in one breath and looked at Jon nervously. To be able to summon such a powerful elemental creature at her level was probably the luckiest thing in her life. If she could successfully conclude the contract… her life could finally see hope.

“Sure.”

Jon agreed. He liked girls with blue hair. Blue was beautiful and melancholic, and it was very attractive to him.


Moreover, after signing the contract, Jon’s burden on Iris would be less when he stayed in the mortal world.

Summoning creatures that existed in the physical plane required the summoner to continuously expend Mana to maintain them. With the difference in power between Jon and her, she might not be able to sustain the consumption of mana before the battle against the demon forest tribe ended… and resulted in the summoning ended prematurely.

“Thank you very much!” Iris bowed to Jon. To be able to sign a contract with a commander-level elemental creature was a great opportunity for her.

Iris took out a parchment from her bosom. It was filled with profound and complicated words and drawings that were difficult to understand. After she signed her name on it, Mana began to surge on the parchment. Finally, it turned into a light screen and floated in front of Jon.

A magical power flowed on it, allowing Jon to see that this thing should not be common in the mortal world.

After turning into a light screen, Jon could read the words on it. The content written on it was exactly the same as what Iris had promised. This was a contract of equality. It was not a master-servant relationship with Iris, but a relationship of mutual assistance. The only function was to create a certain connection between Iris and Jon, so that Iris could accurately summon him.

After reading it, Jon also signed his name on it.

After both parties had signed, the light screen disappeared, and the parchment disappeared by itself. This meant that the contract had been recognized by the world. Jon also felt that there was a force twisting between him and Iris.

After the contract was signed, Iris’s beautiful face revealed a smile that came from the bottom of her heart. To be able to summon a commander-level super creature was something that many mages would never be able to do in their entire lives.

After Jon’s projection returned to the elemental plane, Iris took out a potion that could replenish Mana from her interspatial ring and drank it. Then, she felt her power recover as she set foot on the road to her destination.

After Jon returned to the elemental plane, he first made preparations to fully recover his elemental power.

Then, he looked at his data panel and found that his level was now level 8 (1450/1000, upgradable) , so he planned to use the level fragment.

“Level up!”

Jon conveyed his wish to the system.

“Ding! You have used up 1000 level fragments, successfully upgraded to level 9. Level upgrade, you have received a chance to draw a skill, do you want to draw it immediately?”

“Description, the chance can only be kept for 24 hours, please use it as soon as possible.”

“Draw it immediately.”

Jon chose to use the chance immediately.

The virtual screen opened, showing an image of a horse racing machine that could be seen everywhere on the street. However, the grid representing the prizes on the horse racing machine was all blank. Yellow dots of light swam across the screen and finally stopped on one of the grids.

The horse-racing machine disappeared from the virtual screen.

Then, a line of words popped up on the screen:

The lucky draw was completed. Congratulations on drawing a skill strengthening point.

A skill strengthening point could strengthen a learned skill.

“Strengthened dual sword intent.”

Jon chose to strengthen dual sword intent. This was the skill that had the greatest improvement after being strengthened. It had to be strengthened first.

“Ding, strengthening completed. Dual sword intent has been strengthened to [ triple sword intent ] !”

As the system’s notification sounded, Jon became 50% stronger.

After leveling up, Jon took out the ice elemental gem that Iris had sacrificed to him.

“Ding, ice attribute advancement fragment detected. Do you wish to extract?”

The system’s notification sounded in his ears.

[ withdraw. ]

Jon chose to immediately absorb the gem.

[ Ding, withdrawal begins… withdrawal successful. Obtained ice attribute advancement fragment + 150! ]

There were a total of 150 ice attribute advancement fragments! This gave Jon a small shock. The next advancement fragment he needed was 2000. Didn’t that mean that he only needed a dozen of these gems to advance once more?

Of course, as a treasure that could move Jon to respond to his summons, these gems must be extremely precious and rare. Otherwise, Iris wouldn’t have treasured them so much as to wear them around her neck as an accessory.

Although the elemental lifeform didn’t need to sleep, Jon still took a good rest. Ever since he transmigrated to the water elemental plane, he had been engaged in all sorts of battles. His spirit was already somewhat tired.

After floating in the sea with his eyes closed for a period of time, a cautious and probing voice of a girl suddenly sounded in Jon’s mind.

“Lord Jon, can I summon you now?”

After receiving his affirmative answer, a pulling force appeared on Jon’s body, as if it was guiding him in a certain direction.

Jon understood that this was Iris summoning him. It seemed that she was already approaching the demon forest monster’s camp.


“Ding! Received a summoning signal. Do you wish to respond to the summoning?”

A system notification sounded in his ears.

Jon felt a sense of familiarity from this summoning power. Sure enough, with the power of the contract, Iris accurately found Jon among the vast elemental creatures.

“Respond to the summoning.”

Jon replied.

“Ding. Please choose the main body mode to respond to the summoning or the projection mode to respond to the summoning.”

“Main body response.”

It was precisely because the projection mode was unable to complete the demon forest monsters’ crusade mission that Jon returned to the water elemental plane. Now, he naturally had to respond to the summoning in his main body.

Whoosh!

A mysterious power from the laws of the world enveloped Jon. In a flash, he appeared in front of Iris.
