Chapter 756: Taking Over a Continent - Part 11

A man with long black hair came out of the red mist, wearing an ancient red robe with it. His face was ghastly pale as if he had never come out of his house in his lifetime. The Ancient Alchemist looked around just like the other spirits did before stopping at Tang Shaoyang and nodded his head.

Zara was about to fly toward Yu, but Tang Shaoyang held her back. “There’s no need for you to fight, Zara. He is not a fighter but an alchemist.”

The Angel of Death stopped her track and looked at the long-haired man. “Are you sure about that? I think he’s pretty strong for a non-fighter.” She was suspicious as she could feel the strong aura emanated from the long-haired man.

“I know he’s strong, but I don’t think he is even a match against Arkanos in combat.” Tang Shaoyang could feel the strong aura, but it was about the same or even weaker than Arkanos. After saying that, he approached the Ancient Alchemist. “So, do you prefer to fight it out against my angel? Or are you willing to establish a contract with me?” He went straight to the point to establish a contract with Yu.

“Hmmm. You are certainly strong, but I don’t know if you deserve my service.” Yu the Ancient Alchemist scanned Tang Shaoyang from top to bottom before making his remark.

“That’s unfortunate. If you don’t want to establish the contract, I will sacrifice you.” Tang Shaoyang shook his head in pity. “The reason I want to get stronger is to skip the boring persuasion as if I am desperate enough for someone like you. You are not worth that effort.”

Tang Shaoyang was about to motion Zara to fight Yu the Alchemist, but the latter was alarmed when he heard the sacrifice. “What do you say? Sacrifice me? Are you going to make the whole Spirit World be your enemy?”

“The whole Spirit World to be my enemy?” Tang Shaoyang did not know what this guy was talking about. ‘Did he try to bluff me so I wouldn’t sacrifice him?’ That was a possibility.

“You don’t know? Do you think you will be welcomed in the Spirit World when you sacrifice them to get stronger? Can’t you understand such a simple issue?” Yu smirked at Tang Shaoyang. “You better let me go back, or else there will be no spirit wanting to be your contracted spirit anymore.”

“That’s fine by me. That gives me a justification to sacrifice more spirits because no spirit wanted to be my contracted spirit. Do you think I would care about that?” Tang Shaoyang shrugged. “This is the last chance. Become my contracted spirit, or you will be sacrificed!”

“Also, does it matter whether you want to be contracted spirit or not? I should just beat you and enforce the contract upon you, but I don’t like the rebelling spirit like you. Make your choice!” He added.

‘Also, how could the spirit know that I have been sacrificing spirit if I don’t tell them?’ Tang Shaoyang realized that Yu the Ancient Alchemist tried to bluff to save his life.

Yu met with Tang Shaoyang’s gaze, and the former realized that the opposite party was serious with his words. ‘If I don’t agree to be his contracted spirit, he will truly kill me. But, he should at least offer something in order to establish a contract. I want him to provide me with resources for my research.’ The Ancient Alchemist had his own thoughts, ‘It seems the first remark that leads me to this situation.’

Yu the Ancient Alchemist, was trying to play hard to get, but he used the wrong method to the wrong person. He realized that the one who summoned him was the straightforward type. ‘I should just state my conditions, and we will sign the contract right after.’

Despite his regrets, Yu the Ancient Alchemist was no longer fighting back against Tang Shaoyang. He gave as a magic circle appeared above his forehead and came over to Tang Shaoyang.

Tang Shaoyang himself was surprised Yu easily gave up like that. He thought the guy would continue acting tough. If that were the case, he would truly sacrifice this guy. He did not want to make any promise, no more of that, since he could only fulfill one of his Spirits’ wishes so far. It was Rosalie’s promise to avenge her to her killer. He achieved that by killing Robert Kingsley.

Tang Shaoyang then put his palm on the magic circle. The magic circle burst into brilliant light and split into two before entering Tang Shaoyang’s forehead. At the same time, Yu the Ancient Spirit turned into a red orb and disappeared into Tang Shaoyang’s forehead as well.

[You have established a contract with Grade SS Spirit, Yu the Ancient Alchemist!]

“What are you going to do with this Alchemist? I think you want to sacrifice them for the Spirit Power?” Zara thought Tang Shaoyang wanted to sacrifice all the spirits today.

“Not with the Grade SS Spirit.” Tang Shaoyang shook his head as he glanced toward the other side. Zaneos and Bronson cornered the Grade SS Spirit, The Great Demon. He thought that would be an easy fight for Zaneos and Bronson since both were Grade SS Spirit. To his surprise, The battle lasted for twenty minutes.

Galeon the Great Demon went berserk and started to fight back against Zaneos and Bronson. The ground shook and split open as eventually Galeon was defeated, down on his knees. Despite his loss, the Great Demon grinned ear to ear. “That’s an exciting battle. I am satisfied with the battle, so I don’t have any regrets anymore.”

Tang Shaoyang came over. Even though the Great Demon was kneeling, it still had the same height as Tang Shaoyang. Zaneos turned toward his Master and spoke for Galeon. “I think he is an exceptionally strong spirit, Master. It’s a shame to use him as a sacrifice, My Lord.”

Tang Shaoyang shook his head. “Who’s going to sacrifice the Grade SS Spirit? I am not that stupid to sacrifice a high-rank spirit like this one. I was just scaring the brazen alchemist. But if you are Grade S+ and lower, I am going to sacrifice you despite your potential.”

After saying that, Tang Shaoyang put his hand on the magic circle that appeared above Galeon’s head.

[You have established a contract with Grade SS Spirit, Galeon the Great Demon!]
