Tang Shaoyang was pleased to hear the first part of the notification. A Mythical Rank Spirit, a spirit that he needed the most, and from how summoner's phenonon was, it should be a combat-focused spirit.
The spirit ca out with the lava still dripping from the fur. The roar was still echoing in the air, and it looked up to the air imdiately, right at Tang Shaoyang. The spirit was around ten ters tall, standing on its hind legs. It was a pitch black-furred bear, at least it looked similar to a bear. It had three crimson horns, growing to the back and going up, emitting hot steam. Its long claw also had the sa color as its hand along with the spiky back.
Tang Shaoyang was about to go down to et his new spirit, but a wing made of lava ford on the spirit's back. It opened up, splashing the lava all over. With a single flap, the creature was up on the sa level as Tang Shaoyang. The lava dripped off from the wing, and it was hard to tell if the wing was an ability or its natural wing.
'What is this? Is it challenging ? I hope it will end like Radiance, making the contract with no fight.' He thought because of how intense the glare from the spirit was. The spirit had crimson eyes as if the eyes were made of lava. Just crimson with no iris and pupils.
"Can you speak my language?" Tang Shaoyang opened the conversation. He had been waiting for the spirit to speak, but the spirit did not say anything, just staring at him straight for fifteen seconds.
"What a stupid question. We don't need to speak the sa language to understand each other because the System will do everything for us," The bear finally spoke.
Tang Shaoyang nodded his head instead of escalating it, "So, what's your decision? You should know everything since you are a Mythical Spirit. Do you want to make a contract with ?"
"You are strong, and I respect the strong," Tang Shaoyang was about to roll his eyes when he heard that from Mr. Bear. The bear called him stupid a few seconds ago, and now it said it respected the strong. Mr. Bear stopped at that, there was no follow-up after that statent.
"Does that an a yes?" He could not help but ask Mr. Bear. It was hard to interpret from his statent and that expressionless face.
"What if I refuse to form a contract with you?" Mr. Bear finally said it.
"Then I have to sacrifice you. I can't just waste my sacrifices to let you go," Tang Shaoyang took out his sword from his inventory.
"I will lose if I fight you, and I don't want to die eternally too. I will agree to make a contract with you, but what will you do for while I lend my power to you? The contract is supposed to benefit both of us, not just you. If there's no benefit for . I would rather die than lend you my power!"
"You have two choices. First, one hundred years contract and a resurrection. You will be free after I resurrect you. Second, a ten-year contract and a resurrection. However, you have to join my Empire after I resurrect you," Tang Shaoyang offered.
[You can add more than just ten years. That's too short, and he is a Mythical Spirit too.] Zara did not agree with the ten-year offer. [At least fifty years for the first option, and five hundred years for the second choice.]
"Can I ask you sothing before I make up my mind?" Tang Shaoyang responded with a nod to that. One question did not take much of his ti.
"What does it an to join your empire? Do I have to fight for your empire after I get resurrected?" Afi asked for more details instead of making the choice directly. Ten years and a hundred years were not that big a difference for him who had died for a long ti.
"You can join my army, yes, but it's not a must. If you have a passion for farming, then you can join that side too," Tang Shaoyang forgot the new division na that took charge of agriculture. His mind was wholly focused on the upcoming fight, "Or if you have passion for smithing, you can join the dwarf or even Alchemy. But of course, in the ti of ergency, you have to help defend the empire. I will not force you to join the army, but I suggest you join Tarrior if fighting is what you are good at."
"Make your choice, Afi The Primordial Urosa. We don't have that much ti!"
"Can I have the second question, and this will be my last question," Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow, but he nodded anyway.
"May I know the na of your world?"
"Earth!"
"Earth? It seems this is nowhere near my old ho. I will choose the first option. I have nowhere to go even if I get resurrected anyway."
The contract was more simple than the one Tang Shaoyang made with Vandir the Death King. Afi turned into a wisp of light and entered Tang Shaoyang's forehead. The contract was done, and he heard a greeting from Radiance.
[Welco to the new ho, Sir Afi!] The Frostbringer seed happy to have a new company. Hearing Radiance's voice, he forgot to ask why he volunteered to form a contract with him.
"You haven't told about your reason for volunteering to form a contract with ," He asked on the way back to Lisbon. He was really curious about what made a high-ranking spirit like Radiance willingly offer itself without asking anything in return.
[It's kinda embarrassing because I have been rejected six tis. I have been summoned six tis before you, Sir. They refused to form a contract with because of how weird I am. So of them seed to be afraid of and directly sent back to the void. That's why I offer myself to you, Sir.]
