SWNOVELS Chapter 2816
Chapter 2816 Are You Toying With Me
He said, "Now that we're allies, you should let me go at once."
Theos was skeptical. "What if you betray me?"
"Don't worry. The words of a member of Kush Clan are worth their weight in gold. If you don't believe me, I can make a vow. I swear that if I fail to keep my word, I will die a horrible death and leave no descendants behind."
A vow is nothing more than a couple of words, not like it will really come true. If it makes Theos happy, I can continue swearing the entire day.
Theos smirked in response. "I don't believe in vows. You should prove yourself with actions instead."
"Fine. Tell me what you want me to do."
After a slight deliberation, Theos waved his hand to conjure up a book made of spiritual energy.
"What is this?" the Guardian of Mount Kush asked curiously.
Theos answered, "A master and slave contract."
A master and slave contract...
The Guardian of Mount Kush's heart sank. "Theos, what's the meaning of this?"
"Once you sign this contract, you will become my slave and be at my disposal for life. That way, I can trust you and grant you your freedom."
"Over my dead body!" the Guardian of Mount Kush objected without hesitation. "Don't even think about it. It will be a great humiliation to Kush Clan for me to become your slave."
"Fine." Theos shrugged his shoulders. "I must admit that you have a spine. Let's just hope you can continue to keep this up. I'll be sending you on your way now!"
"Wait, wait!" the Guardian of Mount Kush cried out. "Have mercy!"
"Whatever last words you have, spit it out. I have no more time to waste on you."
"Give me some time. If I sign the contract, the repercussions will be huge. I need to consider it properly."
Theos sneered, "It's obvious to me that you're just trying to buy time for your escape. Let me be honest with you. It's not going to happen. No one can ever escape the spiritual energy cage of the Gods. You have the rest of the day to consider the matter, and I want an answer by nightfall. If you refuse to sign the contract or don't give me an answer, your life will be mine!"
With that, Theos patted the Guardian of Mount Kush, causing him and his formation to sink deep into the earth and disappear from sight.
After that, he proceeded to take his leave.
The Guardian of Mount Kush desperately tried to break free. Unfortunately, his efforts were futile against the impregnable cage.
He let out a sigh. Am I destined to become a slave? How can I accept this?
Upon leaving, Theos searched Warren's memories and located those related to Erebus.
Erebus was one of the ancient elders of the Netherworld who had been trapped in the Valley of Death for decades before emerging recently.
Theos still had some faint memories of both of them attacking humans together back in the day.
Soon, he arrived at a place where Erebus was constantly seen and quickly found him.
Erebus had already gathered tens of Spirit Stones.
As a Netherworldian, Erebus exuded negative energy, the polar opposite of Spirit Stones' spiritual energy. It naturally allowed him to be particularly sensitive to the presence of Spirit Stones. The moment he noticed Warren's arrival, a look of displeasure flashed across Erebus' face.
"Warren, why aren't you searching for Spirit Stones in your area? Stop trespassing into mine."
Theos explained at once, "Elder Erebus, the Guardian of Mount Kush sent me here to inform you that he has enough Spirit Stones for the formation. You can stop collecting them now. Anyway, let's hurry back. He's about to activate it."
Erebus' temper flared at once. "That old b*stard! Why did he insist that I search for more when there are clearly enough Spirit Stones? Is he toying with me? Hmph, once I'm back, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"
"Sure. Let's go.
