Chapter 1807 Arneel (2)

Chapter 1807  Arneel (2)

Tang Shaoyang had a bad feeling that Arneel might be related to Artrus. It was supported by the fact that he summoned Arneel in the Artrus' domain. Arneel might be someone close to Artrus.

If that was the case, he must force the contract on Arneel. Even then, Arneel might not listen to him with the forceful contract. That meant he could only sacrifice Arneel which was something he did not want to do.

Arneel looked at Zara and Avyn, and it was hard to see the calamity's expression since she did not have a face. Then she looked at Tang Shaoyang again. "What do you mean by you absorbed Artrus? Can you tell me more details about what happened?"

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow. He did not like wasting his time telling her a story, but he thought that a mutual contract might give him a chance. He explained what happened in a short version.

"I see… Artrus is dead and you summoned his spirit just like me. He tried to take over your body, but you absorbed him instead and inherited some of his power…" Arneel thoughtfully nodded, and the fire, which was her body, calmed down a little bit.

"Knowing Artrus is dead, dead. I don't want to establish a contract with you anymore. The reason I became a spirit was to kill Artrus, and he was already dead. You have avenged me indirectly. So there's no reason for me to exist anymore, my anger has been quelled knowing how he died."

Tang Shaoyang listened without interrupting Arneel. The misunderstanding cleared, but there was another problem with the contract. Arneel was someone with a grudge against Artrus, and it was not a surprise what Artrus had done to him.

"How about this, we will set the time for the contract. I know most spirits don't set a time when they establish a contract, but again, there's no reason for me to exist anymore. However, I still want to repay you, so what about if we form a twenty-year contract? You will release me from the contract after twenty years."

Tang Shaoyang frowned deeper when he heard the terms because he had a better deal in his hand. "You are quite knowledgeable for a spirit with no experience beforehand."

Arneel shook her head. "You are not the first to summon me. Four individuals managed to summon me. My first two masters were killed by Artrus for trying to fulfill the contract, and the last two were killed by the Nirvana Alliance without getting a chance to pursue Artrus."

"Then you should be aware that I can force the contract upon you without agreeing with your terms."

Arneel immediately glanced at Avyn and Zara. She sighed, "You are the strongest Spirit Contractor compared to my previous masters without a doubt. I can see that you have spirits that are stronger than me. So why do you still need me if you have stronger spirits than me, not just one, but two of them."

"Because I need you for a war. As you know already, Nirvana Alliance is after my head, and they are not just targeting me, but also my family. I need to get rid of them, and I will need a spirit army to fight them!" Tang Shaoyang answered honestly.

"Ah, right, the Nirvana Alliance… Those guys are still alive, huh… What about this, a hundred-year contract? That should be enough time for you to get rid of The Nirvana Alliance if you are capable of getting rid of them. I don't really mind avenging my previous master." The name of Nirvana Alliance invoked bad memories about her past, how she was getting hunted and had been fighting them for the sake of her revenge.

That was something she did not want to remember because everyone abandoned her master once they knew the Nirvana Alliance was after her master. An individual against a massive force, and the result was obvious. Her master died before they could even meet Artrus because of the Nirvana Alliance. She did not mind fighting those bastards again as she held resentment against them.

"Unfortunately, the Nirvana Alliance is not the only one who is after my life, but there are a few of them, quite a big force as well." Tang Shaoyang shrugged. "One hundred years might not be enough, or it could be enough as long as I can keep the progress like now."

"Hah…" Arneel sighed.

"Anyway, what are you going to do if you return the void? Isn't it much better if you are under contract than staying in the void?" Tang Shaoyang was curious.

He never knew what happened to the spirit who had fulfilled their wish. Would they return to the void, or would they disappear? No spirit had the answer because no one could give the answer. All the spirits were the dead spirit with a dying wish.

Arneel fell silent as she thought about it. She had experienced becoming a contracted spirit, but she did not know what would happen to her if she fulfilled her goal as a spirit. Now she thought about it, she would continue to live as a spirit, or maybe return to the void for the next master, maybe.

"Or maybe you will return to the Spirit World if I release you from the contract…" He thought about it and remembered a skill, [Spirit Gate]. From what he knew, he could open the gate to the spirit world, and he could enter the spirit world with [Spirit Form].

Back then he did not have enough Spirit Energy to maintain the Spirit Form for him to explore the spirit world. Lately, he had been using all his Spirit Energy to resurrect the spirits. Now he had enough Spirit Energy to open the Spirit Gate and maintained Spirit Form for a long time, but there were too many things in his hands.

This Special Mission, the new Dimensional Tower, the Territory War in the God Realm for his own territory, and a lot of enemies that were coming for him. Too many things in his hand that he forgot about the skill until now. That was of course just an assumption because he also did not know anything about spirit even though he was Spirit Contractor.

"I guess I have no choice but to form a contract with you, hah? Can we discuss the length of the contract? The thing that keeps me alive is Artrus' death, to kill him. I am tired of the constant fight, and I just want to live… or maybe the void is not too bad if I think about it…" Arneel could not imagine herself fighting anymore, not after what she experienced with her four previous masters.

"Two hundred years." Tang Shaoyang thought about it. A hundred years might be enough for him to kill all his enemies or maybe he might die in that one hundred years. Just to be safe, he suggested a two-hundred-year contract.

"Let's do it!"

Arneel agreed to it immediately before Tang Shaoyang changed his mind. Her figure turned into a crimson orb and entered Tang Shaoyang's foreheads.

[You have established a contract with Archaic Spirit, Arneel the Inferno Calamity!]

[Wow! This is a nice place!] Arneel's voice rang in his head right after. She had been in a void for an unknown time, so it was a nice change of scenery when she entered Tang Shaoyang's spirit world.

"Two hundred years? What about two hundred years?" Zara asked after the contract was finalized. They heard Tang Shaoyang's voice, but they could not hear Arneel's as she spoke directly into his head.

"The length of the contract, and she is Artrus' enemy, so we don't need to use force on her." He explained briefly as he turned toward the next area of sacrifice. He proceeded with the next summoning and muttered. "I hope there will be another commander from the Hurakan Legion. That would be ideal."

After talking about the enemy he must fight, he realized that he might need people like Mathias and Nikolas. He would be taking over their world, and he needed a capable commander to help him. If he could resurrect them later, then he would have them to increase his army from the conquered world. That was a plan for the future, but he needed to be prepared for that.

The sacrifice poofed into the black smoke, similar to the first one. He had a bad feeling about the second one.

[You have summoned an Archaic Spirit, Hurakan Legion Commander II - Gianni Christos Lysvand!]

"Where am I!?" A stern voice rang from the smoke, and Gianni could feel a connection with Tang Shaoyang. He followed the connection and got out of the black smoke before the smoke dissipated.

Gianni paused at the sight of Tang Shaoyang and the two women, scanning them over. He looked at their features closely, and weirdly he did not feel the aura from the man, but he felt an overwhelming aura from the two women.

"Are you the one behind The Genesis Emperor?" He questioned the man.

"This one is a newbie for sure…" Tang Shaoyang muttered as he could tell the spirit was clueless about what happened.
