Chapter 337

Whoosh!

……

The attacks did not pause.

And [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] did not defend either, just staring blankly at the young lady in red.

Pupils constricted, face full of disbelief.

Finally, who knows how much time had passed.

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] was hurt.

It wanted to flee!

That’s right, its first reaction upon regaining its senses was to flee.

Flee the battle, flee the Shadow Realm, and even flee the confines of this Land of Loss.

That young lady in red before its eyes……

That was a fiend from beyond the heavens!

A superior race belonging to the Shadow Realm clan.

Due to certain peculiarities, the fiend clan was jointly crusaded against and ultimately wiped out across the Eternal Myriad Worlds.

Never in a million years did it expect……

That one would actually appear before its eyes.

If this matter were not spread, all of the Shadow Realm would fall into crisis.

Submit, or perish!

When [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]’s gaze focused on the eerie barrier surrounding it.

Its heart was filled with despair……

This spatial barrier, it could not break!

In other words, it could not run away for the time being.

Then the question arose!

At this moment, could it survive the time until the barrier disappeared?

The answer was negative.

“Stop…… stop!”

In despair, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] finally made a move to surrender; it did not want to die, so it had no choice but to surrender.

“I…… I have something to say!!”

Luo Chenyu, however, smiled. He did not have the young lady in red stop, but instead said: “You say your piece, I’ll keep attacking!”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]: “……”

Good grief, how is one supposed to respond to that?

But with little time left, it could only say concisely: “I surrender, please spare my life!”

Such words were simply unspeakable for the proud [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton].

But to stay alive, what did pride matter?

Better to live a wretched life than to die.

In a sense, this saying was the truth.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chenyu chuckled and said: “You think you can get me to let you go with just this one sentence? Are you overestimating yourself or looking down on me?”

Such words.

To put it bluntly, he wanted [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] to cough up some benefits.

A surrender with empty words—no one would agree to that.

Especially not a professional.

How could one possibly give up the final kill when facing a BOSS?

Fighting until bloodied is the reality.

“That… I will give you all the treasures of the entire Shadow Realm, and from now on I will leave this Land of Loss and never, ever return.”

“I know you are a professional, wanting to kill me to obtain rewards.”

“But I am very special, I do not belong to the rules of the Eternal Myriad Worlds; even if you kill me, I won’t drop anything……”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]’s speech was very fast, so fast that Luo Chenyu almost couldn’t hear it clearly.

But he understood the meaning.

“Are you threatening me?”

He was not a greedy person.

To let the entire Blue Star fall into crisis for the sake of mere drops??

Such things could not be done.

“No, I wouldn’t dare…… I was just telling the truth……”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] said timidly, finally beginning to adopt a defensive posture.

If it didn’t defend……

It would really be finished.

Although that fiend was young, the hits didn’t hurt that much.

But that fiendish energy was eroding its origin power, and most importantly…… its heart of origin had been severely damaged earlier, so it couldn’t hold out for long.

So……

While defending, it very decisively threw out some worldly possessions.

“This is a portion of the treasures; as long as you show mercy, I will give you the rest!!”

Luo Chenyu: “……”

Good grief!!

Very sensible, isn’t it!

He silently put away the treasures thrown out by [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton].

Remaining silent……

He put on a thoughtful expression.

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]: “???”

Be decisive……

I can’t hold on much longer!!

……………….

At this moment, Luo Chenyu was also thinking.

He did not trust [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]; which parts of its words were true and which were false was worth debating.

While hesitating, he did not have the little girl in red stop her attacks.

Nor did he stop the "scraping" service of the demonized puppets.

If [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] truly kept its promise, then letting it go was not impossible.

Or……

Letting it go to make trouble elsewhere in the Eternal Myriad Worlds was also fine.

If it was a lie, then letting it go would lead to endless future troubles.

After the silence.

Luo Chenyu looked toward [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton], locking eyes with it~.

That gaze seemed as if it wanted to see completely through [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]-.

“How can you guarantee that your- words are true?”

Luo Chenyu finally relented.

His mission target was actually not this one before him, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton], but another super monster, [King of Shadow Demons, Namos].

He didn’t know if it was [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] who attacked him at the teleportation array, or if [King of Shadow Demons, Namos] was pulling strings from behind.

Now, as long as he could get [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] to guarantee the truth.

Some plans could indeed be implemented.

The Shadow Realm was very unusual.

Being able to make the World Will issue a mission meant the danger level was extremely high.

Dealing with a tiger?

No, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] couldn’t even beat him in its own lair; after losing its lair, it was even less likely.

Hearing Luo Chenyu’s question.

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] felt a sudden sense of relief.

It knew that the human had relented.

As long as he relented, it had a chance to live.

But……

The problem arose.

How could it make that human believe its words?

After pondering for a moment.

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] gritted its teeth and spat out a few words.

“I…… I can sign a soul contract with you; as long as I violate the contract, you can destroy my soul at any time!!”

Luo Chenyu: “……”

So ruthless!!

He knew about soul contracts.

When the Demon Heart was telling him about forbidden matters, it had also mentioned soul contracts.

He didn’t expect to encounter one after only a few days.

With his soul power, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] could never escape the constraints of the contract.

The words were true!

Luo Chenyu made his decision.

“Little Red, stop for a moment, we’ll fight later!”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton]: “Still fighting???”

This time, it knew that if it didn’t get serious, its life would be over.

Gritting its teeth, it began to condense its soul origin power.

And at this moment.

Luo Chenyu’s words came again.

“I still need to make a few demands; if you don’t agree, then forget about the treasures.”

“Please speak!!”

Luo Chenyu rubbed his chin and spoke slowly.

“First, hand over [King of Shadow Demons, Namos], I want it……”

Before he could finish, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] said impatiently: “No problem, even if you want the entire Shadow Realm destroyed, it’s fine, really!”

“Very good, then second, within two years…… you must completely obey me. Of course, I won’t make you do anything that is certain death.”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] was slightly stunned.

It said with slight embarrassment: “How about twenty years? The time is too short…… I feel uneasy……”

Luo Chenyu: “……”

Good grief, is this guy a complete blockhead?

It’s even raising the price on itself.

Very interesting!

Since it had said so, Luo Chenyu couldn’t refuse its "kindness".

“Third, in the future, when you encounter humans, you are not allowed to provoke them; this point is permanently effective.”

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] nodded frantically.

It had already decided that as long as it survived, it would find a hidden place to stay honestly and only come out after it became powerful.

By that time……

With the strength of the human before it, he would definitely have transcended the Eternal Myriad Worlds.

And wouldn’t be able to control it.

Perfect!!

The next moment, [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] wrote all of Luo Chenyu’s requirements and its own mandatory obligations into the soul contract.

And attached its core soul origin power to it.

It obediently presented it.

Luo Chenyu took the soul contract and looked at it casually……

“Hehe…… you’re quite good at handling things.”

There was no problem with the soul contract, but [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] seemed to still not trust him, extending those conditions toward more stringent directions.

Excessive……

It was indeed quite excessive.

However, as long as [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] didn’t cause trouble, letting it live was fine.

After all……

He also needed someone to scout the path in the Eternal Myriad Worlds.

The next moment.

Luo Chenyu also attached his soul power to it, and under the guidance of [Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton], began to sign the contract.

Finally……

As the soul contract dissipated, it turned into two strands of origin power that sank into the depths of both parties' souls.

The contract was complete!!

“Fulfill your contract!”

Luo Chenyu waved his hand and put away all the demonized puppets.

Leaving only the young lady in red by his side.

[Lord of the Shadow Realm, Pelton] said with slight embarrassment: “That, my lord, could you please remove this spatial barrier first……”

………………inch.
