You’ve made up for your transgression!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale didn’t exactly know what Mias meant in his provocation — saying he knew Greed couldn’t kill them — but there seemed to be some validity in the claim, seeing Greed’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it was now Greed who was the one pressed for time, assuming Mias hadn’t lied about dismantling Juniper’s operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because, as Vale’s forces died to the Level, he’d have less and less reason to make a deal at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Still...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Vale’s forces who were dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale had been carefully listening to the voice’s announcements and had only heard of warriors’ deaths so far, but it was merely a matter of time before a Champion fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed grimaced and shook while clenching her hand. Then, after a sigh, she said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine, have it your way. Three favors at Valentin’s discretion. Plus a non-subversion and non-aggression pact. If you try to present a counteroffer. The deal is off, and you can let your forces die as they may.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale wasted no time on hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Deal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed remained still. Then, a moment later, a translucent blue paper floated out of the air and appeared in front of both of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale was a little confused until he began reading the words on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Party A - Sylvia Fulton\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Party B - Valentin Laurent\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Party B is hereby subjected to...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed both the deals they’d made and the promise of death should either party breach it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed held her hand to the floating contract.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wasn’t intent on making a Soul Contract. But I don’t know if I can trust your words yet. Simply hold your hand to the geass and wish to accept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale, after scanning the contract, copied Greed’s motion and wished to accept. A moment later, he felt a weird presence enter his body. Like a chain had wrapped around his Aether Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, it felt even more invasive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like his entire being, the entire dungeon had a sword to its throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed sighed, then a small silver stone appeared in her hands. Her lips parted and clamped around a protruding, hollow end. Following the motion, a piercing, shrill screech screeched throughout the dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Follow that high-pitched whistle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A challenger has entered the dungeon]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pisci Ap has been slain]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+4 Aether]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Pisci Ap has been slain]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+4 Aether]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Ashen Vilkas has been slain]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Level 9 has been completed, good job!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[+20 bonus Aether]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Scary...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How in the hell was Mias able to intimidate her?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vale, are you a man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale remained quiet as Level 10 appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Level: [10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enemies:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emergent Mutant: 40]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emergent Monster: 20]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Emergent Wretch: 1]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Would you like to attempt Level 10?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed’s eyes widened, and her tone took on a comical edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not a man? Wow! I really thought you were... Goes to show you should never, and I mean never, make assumptions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale ignored Greed and sighed, then looked over at Mias and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias nodded with a cheery grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias’s gaze fell back on Greed, and he let out an uncharacteristic laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Greed. Was Juniper his name? He was doing his job spectacularly! In what world could I, a Nascent, outmaneuver a Bloomed scout! Now that. That would be preposterous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wow...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He gambled on Greed not being able to watch Juniper with lives at stake?! The hell!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed’s eye twitched:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you should be provoking me? Is half of you not mine now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A line of smoke shot back into Mias as he said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm, not half. But half of this half.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a light laugh, he added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have that non-aggression pact now, remember. You have merely partially levied me; I am still a force of Lust, and as such, you must abide by the contract and refrain from harming me. And a ’Soul Contract,’ was it? I assume the repercussions of violation aren’t particularly desired, no?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since when could Mias get so emotional?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it was probably after his pride took a hit from the battle of wits with the oracle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed blinked slowly and shook her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still reserve the right to work you to the bone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mias struggled to hold back a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t have bones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed sighed as her head fell into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Valentin, I truly do not envy these rebellious servants you’ve summoned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s funny, I quite like them. Even if they’ve tried to kill each other on a few occasions, and even if they lie to me and nearly get us all killed... Actually, I rescind that second part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed chuckled; the animosity staining her voice vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, what a wonderful dungeon you’ve come to run, Lust. I see I was not wrong in assessing you as a man of resolve and potential.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale smiled wickedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why, thank you. But, you’re not winning any points. I do hope that was the one and only prank you’ll pull on a dear friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed crossed her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Valentin. There are no such things as friends in this world. Only business partners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale’s body relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch. That didn’t hurt at all coming from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed shrugged, then said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, I guess it’s about time you show me to my room. I saw multiple bedrooms, right? I’d appreciate an... unsoiled one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Huh?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you want to free and heal that girl, correct?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vale knew the situation was possible, but he doubted it would happen...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed was going to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Greed stretched, then added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The needed healer is here, but I will still need the assistance of Pykon, the one who can melt Aether. I’ll send Juniper to go fetch her. I don’t feel like making that long trek myself.
