Everyone had only one question in their minds. Who or what was it?
The powerful aura was unfamiliar to them. Even the legendary Lord’s aura didn’t feel this terrifying.
Was it a demigod?’ they wondered.
How could a demigod appear suddenly in Canglan City?
The entire Canglan City was in an uproar. Everyone was frantically searching for an explanation.
Su Wan and Xu Yuan felt the suffocating aura more closely than others. Xu Yuan created a barrier to shield Nami and Su Wan from it.
Bartos seemed to change under their very eyes. His body seemed to restore its vitality on its own. His pale hair turned black, his wrinkled face regained its elasticity, and his age spots disappeared.
When the shocking aura dissipated, he looked like a man in his fifties.
Bartos let out a long breath and clenched his hands into fists. He turned to look at Su Wan.
“I owe you a favor, Lord Su Wan.”
Placing his hopes on Su Wan had been a gamble. He hadn’t even expected her to succeed. Bartos had been preparing for death.
When he heard of the plane’s collapse, he hadn’t even been surprised. However, he had felt sorry for the young Lord and her Dark Demon Dragon. He had assumed they had died.
Bartos looked solemn. He had the Crimson Moon to take care of.
“Now… what is it that you want?” asked Bartos.
“Mr. Bartos, I need you to honor our agreement,” said Su Wan calmly.
“Is that all?” He looked at Su Wan in amusement.
“Well… if you want to give me a divine artifact, I won’t say no,” said Su Wan jokingly.
Bartos chuckled. ‘I don’t have many divine artifacts. 1 only have one, and that, 1 can’t afford to give it away.”
He waved his hands. The silver weighing scales materialized in his hand.
The scales had thin, white wings on them as though one breath could send them flying.
Bartos rubbed the scale for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
Majestic energy surged out from his body. Under Su Wan’s gaze, the energy turned into a ball of light and fell on one of the dangling scales.
Su Wan focused on the light. She vaguely saw something, but it was gone just as fast.
Originally, the scale was tilted, but the light condensed on the other scale until it was balanced.
A miniature scroll appeared on one of the scales.
Bartos waited for the scroll to become tangible. The miniature scale flew out of the sale and landed on Bartos’ outstretched hand. The scroll then grew to its full size.
“You look shocked,” said Bartos with a smile. “It’s a divine artifact. What did you expect? Or are you surprised that 1 kept my word?”
This was a divine artifact personally forged by the God of Creation. Its value was immeasurable. Bartos had snatched it away from the Red Dragon that he had killed.
Although he was hostile to the gods, the divine treasures were just tools. He was not averse to using them. He had won it fair and square.
Su Wan looked at the old man and recalled the time when she had first met him. He was as rude as ever. However, he did keep his word.
“This was the reward that was promised,” said Bartos as he handed the scroll to Su Wan. “If you ever need anything in the future, you can seek me out.”
The Soul Contract was finally in her hands! This held a power that could subdue and recruit powerful heroes!
Bartos looked like he was in pain when he handed her the scroll, but he tried to keep a straight face. Su Wan recalled him saying that an item of equal value must be placed on one of the scales for a wish to be fulfilled. A Soul Contract was a powerful thing. The energy Bartos put onto the other scale must be consuming a lot of his power.
Su Wan accepted the scroll. She was overjoyed.
She and her troops had gone through so much for this scroll. After months of planning and unprecedented adventures, they had reached this stage.
This was a rare treasure!
[Soul Contract]
[Legendary]
[Characteristic: Able to forcefully enslave an extremely powerful lifeform, making it eternally loyal to the scroll holder.]
[Note: Extremely rare and precious treasure.]
Su Wan was excited. This scroll would make sure that her territory had another powerful hero besides Xu Yuan.
She had spent so much time and effort building the foundation of her territory. Finally, it was going to be so powerful that no one would dare to challenge it.
“Thank you, Mr. Bartos,” said Su Wan. “Congratulations on your new life!”
Bartos laughed out loud. He was also in a good mood. He turned to look at Nami.
A crimson medal appeared in Nami’s hands. “Teacher, you’re alive now! This should be with its original owner.” She handed him the medal.
Bartos shook his head. “No. That belongs to you from now on.” There was no need to take down a crown that was already on someone else’s head.
“Now, I’ll work under you and will obey your orders, president Nami,” said Bartos proudly. “Your actions have been worthy of such a title. The future belongs to the young.”
Nami bowed to him. “Teacher, I won’t disappoint you..”
