Chapter 81: Two contracts
"I order you to issue a contract between a human and a spirit monster." Leon struck the iron while it was hot, forcing the blue dragon to start the contract process.
The contract between a spirit monster and normal residents could be issued in a few ways, but Leon knew the best version stemmed from the former's heart. If a spirit monster gives a contract, he puts much more responsibility onto his shoulders, with the worst consequence of breaking the clauses being imprisonment in the Association Of Spirit Monsters Guild.
It was fascinating how the Spirit Realm had more prisons than the Freya World, only cause their people were actually immortal. Of course, Leon knew about Alexandra's fate and that she'd been banished to suffer amidst low-level spirit monsters and fend for herself in a much different environment, with her levels stripped off.
That was because of the dragons' status. Moreover, dragons were also one of the strongest and most notorious species, so they wouldn't allow the association to decide the fate of one of theirs. It was simple and common practice in the hierarchy...
[Alexandra Aquarisen has issued a spirit contract with you.]
Leon smiled as though Alexandra's ass had become a much more comfortable seat. "You'll also issue the dragon's contract.'
[Alexandra Aquarisen has issued a dragon contract with you.]
The other contract was a measure against the prideful dragons. Leon understood it couldn't be enough because of his physique, but it'd also exert more pressure against Blue Thanatos' mind and body. All in all, he couldn't predict how all of it would end in the future should a dragon see him with Alexandra as his maid.
Yes, Leon decided he'd make a maid out of this woman.
Anyway, it didn't hurt him to sign that contract, too, for all of it was one-sided... Leon clicked his tongue as he realized that making a dragon sign a one-sided contract gonna backlash for sure, but he decided to just focus on the blue-haired dragon beneath him, not the far future.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThese two contracts turned Alexandra Aquarisen into Leon's pet, toy, maid, and more -- she was bound to him for an eternity, and everything she had belonged to him.
Leon extended his right hand forward, putting it on Alexandra's head as she kept muttering the contracts' clauses, enchanted... He triggered the power of [The Monster Collector], promptly activating her chosen path.
[You've chosen the Double Personality Path for your slave, Alexandra Aquarisen.]
In the end, the choice had been still on him. But Leon wasn't a person to go back on his word, and the dragon had helped him with his mindset, which was a big plus for his incoming adventure. He went with that route despite all shit she'd said to him and started crafting the second personality.
But because this woman wasn't so much worthy of his attention, Leon went with a simple route.
[Kind and strong dragon with an altruistic heart. Her body and soul belong to her master, Leon Blade.]
[Alexandra Aquarisen's soul has been split.]
[It'll take a week for the second personality to rewrite Alexandra Aquarisen's memories and have the second soul absorb them.]
Leon learned it was safe to keep this woman in her card form during that process, so he called her back and hid that card deep inside his inventory, just so he wouldn't see her face for some time.
Now that the soft seat went poof as though it had never existed, Leon hit the hard ground and lifted his eyes, looking at the wall. "If you have enough skills, you can even create a person...."
Louise had taught him about the cruel memory skills and how people stole them to train themselves or others, leveraging the precious years of experience of others... And now, Leon's class simply took half of the blue dragon's soul, stuffed that soul with rewritten memories, and made her a different person.
Even if those memories were fake and none of these happened, Alexandra would still be a real person whose new memories would impact the lives of others.
"Master wants to get rid of that class and those powers. That's why you forced her to become your 'slave' through the contract, not your class." Celes had put down her fork, the sound of it meeting with the plate caught Leon's attention, and she looked straight into his eyes.
Although red and surely vicious for many, Celes' gaze was different and warmer. Staring at her gorgeous face, Leon was once again reminded of the vampiress' beauty. Her cheeks were slightly reddened, for Leon's words had made Celes happier, and he understood it, smiling.
Thus, Leon could only agree with her. "I don't doubt The Oracle's eyes." But since he felt like her equal, Leon only warmly smiled and continued, "But I think even she isn't excluded from making mistakes. I might have a similar disposition to The Human Emperor, but our experiences are vastly different. I had Louise on the first day of my adventure. And you've joined us later... I might be wrong, too, you know... Maybe she'd seen through all of it and now expects me to see her. I don't know about that, but I want to change my class and focus on things that actually suit me."
Leon was ready to sacrifice others for his survival, just like he'd done in the trials. But in those trails, Leon had been alone, and a lot had changed after coming to the new world. Even from the start, Leon wanted to give Louise freedom and just take a skill from her -- the same happened to the vampiress.
If he didn't have a mindset to enslave others, how could he continue with that class? How could he properly enslave monsters, too, if such a thing kept bothering him?
"Everything until now wouldn't have happened if it weren't for your mindset, Master," Celes spoke slowly and lazily, just like her usual self, as though she wanted to take a nap after eating breakfast. "Those with peak humanity bodies do whatever they want. The world must not have heard of many of them as they had died early while following their principles, but at least they died while living true to their hearts. I've also found a similar vibe with you, Master, so I'll make your life much more enjoyable, just like you do to me.
"I swear to be a strong girl, too. You won't die early." A terrifying glint crossed Celes' eyes as she promised to deal with many obstacles in her master's life, putting that importance second only to her life and happiness.
But if Leon was a vital cause of her happiness, it might be as well the most important thing. Additionally, Celes' tone was lethal, and her eyes rippled with craziness.
But in Leon's view, she turned so adorable that Leon once again felt like Louies' crown of adorableness had been threatened...
It made things so much more enjoyable for him, though.
He stood up and smiled at the vampiress. "The same vibes?"
"Yes..." Celes cutely nodded and told Leon to take a bath first, for Alexandra had made him perspire a lot.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlthough Celes had wanted to punch the blue dragon's face, too, now that her Master's attention fell once again on her, she couldn't care more about that woman. It wasn't like she'd disappear, and it wasn't like she was the only enemy on their adventure -- the long adventure throughout the world.
Her Master wanted to meet much more monsters like her that The Human Emperor had hurt.
She'd have so many occasions to deal with people like Alexandra and even worse. It also would be better to keep her intact and well so that Louise could take her revenge on the dragon after her return.
In reality, however, Celes had been infected by Leon.
She just wanted to use most of her precious time with Leon and the circumstances that had left her alone with him.
Therefore, after Leon left the bathroom, clean and fresh, Celes had already been on her two feet. She still wore her thin pajama, which was nothing more than a shirt and long pants.
She gestured at the bed, her smile widening.
Leon followed her words and laid himself flat on his stomach, still in briefs.
Celes soon saddled him and leaned down, her chest and already erect nipples scratching his muscles. "I'll massage you, Master."
Her voice was undoubtedly aroused and sultry, but Leon acted as though he couldn't hear that. "I'll have to massage you next, then."
Expecting those words, Celes' red lips curved up, and she purred a moan of agreement. "Mmm."
How she did her [Mmm] was much different than Louise's.
She was a woman that severely would leverage their circumstances.
The so-called 'the same vibes'.
