Chapter 1655 - 912: A New Pact and Plan

Beside the temporarily concluded battlefield,

Hanna widened her eyes and stared intently at Lis in front of her.

Lis’s posture was upright, his face as handsome as a perfectly sculpted statue, with sharply defined contours seemingly carefully carved.

When he slightly raised the corner of his mouth into a gentle smile, it resembled the warm sun rays piercing through the clouds in spring, making one feel the gentility of his demeanor.

Yet, behind this beautiful facade lurked a chilling truth.

Behind Lis, a group of people in black robes were held captive by an unseen force, their bodies stiff, emitting low and painful moans as if souls imprisoned in a dark abyss struggling.

Lis himself was exuding an intense Abyss Breath that couldn’t be dissolved.

This breath, like a black vortex, continuously devoured the surrounding Light.

Merely approaching, one couldn’t help but feel Fear, as if in the next second they would be swallowed by the Endless Darkness.

Lis narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze landing on Hanna, speaking softly:

"So, my Contractor, are you willing to forge a new contract with me?"

"Although I would like to respect your opinion, if you disagree, I would be quite troubled."

The voice was deep and magnetic, yet it echoed in Hanna’s ears like a Magic Spell.

Hanna’s body trembled slightly, hesitance growing wildly in her heart like vines.

She lowered her head, her eyes flickering uncertainly, her hands unconsciously gripping the hem of her clothes, unable to decide how to respond.

In Hanna’s mind, the records from her family’s ancient books constantly emerged.

The Demon Summoning Ceremony of an Abyss Demon had always been an extremely dangerous affair in the long history of the family.

Those ancient texts seemed to carry lessons of blood and tears, flashing before her again and again.

The summoned Abyss Demons were like wild horses out of control, frequently leading to various unexpected incidents.

Some demons went berserk after being successfully summoned, wantonly destroying and leaving devastation in their wake.

Others reached some Evil agreement with the Summoner, leading them into the Endless Abyss;

And in the annals of the Kingdom, the Grant family was notorious for their Demon Summoning Ceremonies.

Once, ancestors within the family pursued powerful Strength with repeated Demon Summoning Ceremonies, yet consistently triggered catastrophic events.

The streets of the city were engulfed in the demon’s flames, innocent people screamed beneath the demon’s claws, the whole Kingdom plunged into Panic and Chaos.

However, the strong power and intimidation brought by Demon Summoning were also reasons why the Grant family could endure for so long.

Now, these painful lessons weighed down on Hanna’s heart like a heavy shackle, causing her Fear and caution towards the Demon Summoning Ceremony.

Hanna was well aware that Lis before her was a Demon from the Abyss.

Even though he displayed such gentleness and courtliness at this moment, his deeply hidden Evil nature was ready to erupt at any time.

Now this demon proposed forging a new contract with her, something unprecedented in the family records.

Is this a chance to change her destiny, or a meticulously designed trap?

Hanna fell into deep hesitation.

Lis watched Hanna, feeling somewhat troubled himself.

After all, for Lis, being summoned outside the Endless Abyss was rather rare.

During this time, he only encountered this once.

If he were in Gaia Main World, Lis wouldn’t be so worried.

In the Main World, no matter where, Lis could swiftly arrive without wasting much time.

In this small world, finding this place was very troublesome for Lis.

For Lis, the most foolish way was to search world by world.

With countless small worlds like grains of sand by the sea, it’s impossible to check them all.

More importantly, Lis wasn’t sure if this world he was in was discovered by the Main World.

If it’s an unknown location small world, it would be an even bigger trouble for Lis.

Therefore, since the physical body couldn’t arrive shortly, Lis had to swiftly access the factions in the small world to verify its condition.

If he could identify the location of the small world, Lis’s main body could possibly arrive soon.

But anyway, this wasn’t something Lis could achieve quickly.

When summoned by the Demon Summoning Ceremony, Lis had already sensed this ceremony was one-off.

This wasn’t a one-way summon where Lis could stay for long.

Thus, if Lis completed the contract with Hanna, the Demon Summoning Ceremony would send him back into the Endless Abyss.

Lis wanted to avoid this situation, trying to delay as much as possible.

There’s of course a solution.

Lis only needed to conclude another contract with the one who summoned him, Hanna, to continue maintaining this Demon Summoning Ceremony.

Facing Lis’s proposal, Hanna was somewhat at a loss.

She hadn’t seen such a situation before, thus hesitated.

But if it was truly as Lis stated, wouldn’t it imply she could continue to live?

After all, before utilizing the Demon Summoning Ceremony, she was prepared to offer her soul and body to an Abyss Demon.
