Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 23: The Shockwave Between Contracts!
Chapter 23 - 23: The Shockwave Between Contracts!
The previous move was just a ruse by the elf maiden, and now the villagers have lost their combat power.
"Hahahahaha! It worked!"
The elf maiden jumped up excitedly, came in front of Shami, and began to taunt.
"Bet you didn't see this coming, little villager, captured by the elf maiden!"
Shami frowned.
"What do you want?"
Indeed, if it were just to capture you, naturally, it would be useless. However...
The elf maiden gave a faint smile.
"Of course, I'm making you my Spirit Servant!"
"?"
On this continent, among the Human Race, every mage can tame a kind of magical creature as their demon servant, and the Elf Race can also tame a living being as their Spirit Servant.
Spirit Servants and demon servants are essentially similar. Both serve as a mage's or elf's assistants in battle, helping to block attacks or amplify spell releases.
The creatures the Elf Race usually choose as Spirit Servants come from the Elf Forest, like the unicorn, dragon eagle, horned owl beast...
Of course, they can also choose other creatures for a contract, but no elf would want to bestow their precious contractual opportunity upon other creatures.
After all, elves' contracted Spirit Servants can also enter the Elf Forest.
If a Spirit Servant dies, the elf is also affected.
And Lureya's current thought is that since the elves' Spirit Contract works on other creatures too, Shami, being a living being, could surely become her Spirit Servant through the contract.
Although Shami is human and secretly a Demon King Heir, he is, in essence, still a living being. On one hand, if he becomes her Spirit Servant, she can easily control him, retrieve her necklace, and return to the Elf Forest before the academy opens.
On the other hand, although Shami is the Demon King Heir, after spending time with him these days, Lureya has found a redeemable human side to this pretty face, and once he becomes her Spirit Servant, she would definitely try to reform him.
Moreover, what traditional Spirit Servant is needed now? Having a Demon King as a Spirit Servant just sounds so cool!
With the Spirit Contract in hand, Lureya decides to be merciful and make the Demon King her pet.
Through elf training, even a Demon King could potentially become a righteous character!
To successfully tame a Spirit Servant, elves and mages use up the Spirit Servant's or demon servant's energy first, then capture and contract them when they are exhausted.
At this moment, the blonde elf secretly rejoices.
Shami is utterly powerless to resist, like fish on a chopping board.
Kekeke.
Lureya stood up, looked at Shami, pointed her index finger at his nose, and seriously said.
"Become this elf maiden's Spirit Servant, villager. If you have food, there will be dishes for you to wash."
"Aren't you hiring a servant?!"
But Lureya no longer pays attention to Shami.
"After becoming my Spirit Servant, first, return my necklace, then cook barbecue for me, wake me up, massage my feet, prepare my bathwater, and do the laundry... In return, I'll protect your second identity."
"That sounds like you're describing a servant's job!" Shami retorted.
But the next moment, a white stocking was pulled out from the Storage Space by the flat golden-haired one coming over, stuffing it into his mouth.
"Humph. Stuffing your mouth so you can't chant curses."
The elf maiden distanced herself a bit from Shami again, chanting softly in Elf Language, as her right hand with spread fingers gradually emitted a white light.
"Spirit Contract, form!"
In a blink, with a light exclamation from the elf maiden, the white light in her hand gathered into a ball, then turned into a beam rushing towards Shami.
"This is the elves' Spirit Contract, only the creatures chosen by the elves can become Spirit Servants. Shami, although you'll become my Spirit Servant, I will still try to respect your human rights."
Respect what human rights with this kind of thing.
Becoming a Spirit Servant, one is already inferior!
Shami furrowed his brows tightly; his weakened body couldn't move at all, and he was entangled with white Spiritual Light, unable to resist.
But the tasteless white stocking in his mouth was quite loose, seemingly because the flat golden-haired one wasn't experienced in this aspect, just casually stuffing it in.
He pushed the sock out with his tongue, regaining his ability to speak.
He had been careless, not expecting the flat golden-haired one to have this move.
But the Demon King's calm quality isn't just for show. Don't think that the Demon King would just become the slave of an elf like this! How else would he conquer other race maidens in the future!
As the flat sprite said "Spirit contract begins!", a magic array appeared in the beam of white light, aiming directly at Shami's chest.
"Don't underestimate me, elf. You have a contract, but so do I."
"You do as well?!"
The elf maiden's eyes widened.
Shami gritted his teeth.
The skill given by the game in advance was not wasted.
The Demon Envoy Contract, which he got a few days ago, now was the time to use it.
"Flat golden-haired one, who's the slave isn't clear yet. Demon Envoy Contract, form!"
Shami quickly cast a magic curse.
A fierce power surged from his body, condensing into a purple-black light on his chest, then converged into a black beam rushing towards Lureya.
The white beam and black beam collided, emitting dazzling light.
Luckily, they were within an lv2 Spirit Protection Array, so this light couldn't be seen from outside.
Lureya's eyes squinted.
Such intense light.
Is this how two contracts devour each other?
It's like a showdown...
"Lureya, this is the power of a Demon King."
Shami clearly felt his contractual power devouring the flat golden-haired one's contractual power, reminded her, and increased the infusion of magical power.
The black beam emitted thicker black gas, almost swallowing the small white Spirit Light Pillar.
"Damn it! Don't underestimate the elf maiden!"
The elf maiden, whose face was pulled pale by the black light, quickly settled into a firm stance, put her hands by her side with wrists touching, opened both hands, gathered purer spiritual light in the palms, and shouted.
"Elven Energy Arts!"
"That posture and terminology, it definitely isn't the spiritual technique of your Elf Race!"
Shami's voice rang out loudly.
A much denser spiritual light poured into the Spirit Light Pillar, briefly giving it some resisting power.
No, it won't work, the scale of the contract is completely different, it's bound to lose.
Soon using all her strength, the sweaty-faced Elf Maiden could only think of one solution.
Moments later, the Spirit Light Pillar shattered, and all efforts ended in vain.
Just as Shami thought he had won, only a thread of white light remained and entered his chest.
That was the contractual power Lureya condensed into the thickness of a fine needle from all the spiritual light!
The magic power-filled Demon Envoy Contract force instantly enveloped Lureya, transforming into countless black-purple threads covering her front. In less than two seconds, they tightly entwined her entire body, finally settling at her abdomen.
Lureya couldn't react in time. The black-purple lines instantly converged into her abdomen, interlocking to outline a complex Curse Seal.
Lureya fell to the ground, clutching her belly in discomfort.
"So... so hot..."
She quickly lifted the hem of her clothes, revealing a dark-lined Curse Seal similar to a Magic Array, feeling the heat's source right there.
The color of the Curse Seal gradually faded, disappearing completely.
What... what is this thing!?
[Beep]
[Demon Envoy Contract completed.]
[Spirit Contract completed.]
The two regained their senses and were stunned.
Shami could move freely again. Meanwhile, Tablet Spirit was sitting on the ground due to the previous shockwave.
What was happening, triggering two contracts simultaneously?
Lureya, still bewildered, sat on the ground, her sweat-streaked face tangled with golden hair.
She had never heard of two contracts completing at the same time!
And what even is a Demon Envoy Contract?
But since the Spirit Contract was completed, she should be able to command Shami, right?
"Shami, hurry and help me up."
Shami was momentarily disoriented, his body somewhat uncontrollably wanted to move, but that force was immediately suppressed.
He remained motionless and gave Tablet Spirit a look: "Take off the shoes."
"What kind of joke is this——!"
With a head full of water vapor, Lureya's body involuntarily moved, taking off her leather shoes with both hands.
"The socks too."
"What!!"
Lureya pulled down her black knee-high socks, revealing her bare feet, looking bizarrely at Shami.
"What is going on!?"
Shami quickly understood the situation.
In essence, Demon Contract, Spirit Contract, and Demon Envoy Contract are all similar types of Soul Contracts, using souls to form a coexisting relationship between two creatures wishing to contract.
However, the Demon King's unique Demon Envoy Contract power was the strongest, followed by the elf's Spirit Contract, and lastly, the human's Demon Contract.
Additionally, his magic power far exceeded the Spiritual Power of Tablet Spirit.
That's why the Demon Envoy Contract naturally suppressed the Spirit Contract.
But as it's an Elf Race's Spirit Contract, did he still get slightly affected in the end?
Shami looked somewhat peculiarly at his own chest.
No anomalies whatsoever.
However, since there was a notification, it means both are now each other's Demon Servant Spirit.
It's just that Shami's contractual power far exceeds that of Tablet Spirit, seemingly able to suppress the latter's orders, returning commands.
"Sorry, my contract power far exceeds yours."
"Can it even be like this!" Lureya couldn't help but protest loudly, "Why do I have to follow your orders?!"
Lureya's small face looked as if inviting tears, filled with grievance.
Great, not only did she fail to subdue Shami as her Spirit, but she also became the Demon King's Demon Envoy. Isn't this leading to complete corruption?
With the Demon Envoy Contract, she would now have to absolutely obey Shami's commands.
If he used the Curse Seal to force her to do such things together, showing a facial expression that clearly displayed reluctance yet extreme enjoyment, or, directly making her shamefully perform self-rewards in front of him.
She couldn't stop it at all!!
Engulfed in terrifying fantasies, Lureya panicked, her pointed ears turning red, her fair face almost steaming.
Watching the embarrassed Tablet Spirit, Shami's face gradually darkened as he walked towards her.
Sitting barefoot on the ground, Lureya hastily moved back.
"No!! Such emotionless ○○ is just two lumps of flesh ○○! Besides, doing ○○ outdoors could get seen!"
Shami squatted in front of Lureya, placing his hands on her shoulders, Lureya already nervously closed her eyes.
The seventy-nine-year-old young Elf Race beauty was about to lose her virginity today.
"You've ruined my plans!! Tablet!! My first Demon Envoy was going to be a powerful Dragon Race or Demon, so why are you, a trifling third-stage Spiritual Qi Tablet, messing things up!"
Shami shook the Tablet Spirit with immense frustration.
He had planned that his first Demon Envoy must possess enough power to ensure his safety during the early developmental stages.
Now, due to Lureya's attack, he was forced to contract someone weaker than himself, the Tablet Spirit.
This further escalated the hellish difficulty of the start!
Lureya swayed back and forth, blinking open her confused eyes.
"Eh?——What are you saying! Who's Tablet? Is that my nickname? That's too hurtful!! Clearly, I'm taking great losses!——I don't want to be your Demon Envoy! It's obvious it's the kind of role that gets branded as a major villain by a hero later on!!"
