"A Great Sage…"
Nux muttered inwardly.
"Is that the stage higher than the Sage?" Amaya questioned.
"That is correct." Nawdren nodded.
"A Stage higher than the Sage…"
Evane muttered inwardly.
The Sage Stage alone was soone unprecedented for her, but to think there is a Stage that is higher than this and to think that her ancestor was so close to reaching this Stage…
This is just…
It was too much to take in…
However, this wasn't the end,
"Is this Great Sage you speak of the true peak of Cultivation?"
Astaria questioned.
As a being who pursued the Peak all her life, she couldn't hold her curiosity.
Nawdren's answer, however, was surprising.
"I do not know."
He simply shook his head and denied it.
"I only know that your ancestor and my Grand Father ca from Yrniel."
"Yrniel? What's that?"
"…"
Nawdren didn't answer.
Nux frowned when he saw that.
Soon, however, he realized what Nawdren wanted.
His expression changed, he then stepped towards Nawdren and spoke,
"I have one more question before I decide whether to kill you or let you live.
Your Grand Father was a Beast, then how are you a Mutated Human-Beast?"
Nawdren glanced at Nux, and from his expression, he understood that if he didn't answer this question, he would die.
He had no other choice,
Nux was the one who held his life in his palm.
"This body does not belong to ."
Nawdren replied honestly.
A frown appeared on Nux's face, and seeing that frown, Nawdren started explaining.
"Just like my Grand Father, I was a Winged Lynx as well. However, unlike my Father or my Grand Father, I, for so reason, wasn't able to beco an 8-Star Beast.
We Winged Lynx are different from normal beasts, we do not need a Mate in order to reproduce, once we beco an 8-Star Beast, we use our Life Energy to give birth to our Offspring, and since I couldn't beco one, I couldn't reproduce either.
I had already accepted my fate, however, one day, sothing changed,
Humans finally walked into my domain after many centuries,
My Father did stop from coming out and harming humans, however, there was one exception, whenever humans entered my domain, I could do whatever I wanted with th-"
"You are wasting too much ti, just answer my question." Nux suddenly interrupted.
"…" Nawdren didn't know how to react.
"You do realize your Life Force is being burned even now, right?"
Nawdren's expression changed and he summarized,
"I possessed a human using a Forbidden Skill, the human couldn't take my power and his body mutated and the current was the result."
"That's a lot better." Nux nodded.
"Alright, what's this contract you were talking about?"
He questioned.
Nawdren knew a lot of things.
He couldn't possibly kill soone like him.
But at the sa ti, if Nux wasn't a 100% sure that Nawdren would not harm anyone close to him, he couldn't possibly let him go.
No matter what, he was still a Pseudo Sage after all.
This man was dangerous.
"A Contract is of many type-"
"Again, summarize." Nux interrupted again.
He could always ask these questions once he ensured Nawdren is harmless.
"A Contract is a way for you to ensure my Loyalty."
"I need absolute obedience, even if I order you to kill yourself, you shouldn't hesitate, can a Contract make this possible?"
Nux questioned.
"…"
Nawdren didn't answer.
"It would be better if you answer a few of our questions, you are about to die anyway."
Nux shrugged.
It was as if he had already given up on subduing Nawdren.
Nawdren's expression changed,
"A Master-Servant Contract can."
He replied hurriedly.
"…" Nux narrowed his eyes with a doubtful look on his face.
"It is nad Master-Servant Contract for a reason! I would die the mont I go against your order! Even if you order to kill myself, I would have no option but to follow your order." Nawdren explained.
"And how does this Contract thing works?"
Nux questioned.
"It is not too complicated, I just need to create my Mana's Contract Circle and once it starts sucking Mana from the world, you need to drop your blood into it."
Nawdren explained.
A frown appeared on Nux's face.
Nawdren, however, completely ignored it and started creating sothing on the ground.
It was the Contract Circle.
Suddenly, the weird circle he drew started sucking Mana and started shining.
"Now you just need to drop your blood on it."
Nawdren turned towards Nux and offered.
"…"
Nux, however, didn't do anything and stayed still.
He still had doubts.
How can he possibly trust this bastard?
What if it was sothing that would kill him the mont he drops his blood into it?
Or maybe it was sothing that would turn him into a servant.
"Wait." Suddenly, Amaya stepped up.
Nux turned towards her and frowned,
"What is it?"
Amaya just pointed in another direction and soon, Riona walked in.
"Let her do it."
Just as Nux was about to react, he heard Amaya's voice,
'Don't act out. Act like she is not important to you.'
Nux's expression quickly changed.
He had the sa plan as well, however, rather than Riona, he wanted to choose soone else and as if knowing what he was thinking, Amaya explained.
'He is too strong. If he becos soone else's servant, then even with the [Slave Seal], things might get complicated.
Keep in mind, the [Slave Seal] doesn't kill the mont soone thinks of betraying you, it just inflicts pain.
We need to choose soone we can actually trust.
We cannot choose anyone here since this bastard already knows how much we an to you.
She was the only one I can think of.'
Nux's expression changed.
'What he Nawdren pulls sothing strange?'
He questioned.
He knew how much Amaya loved Riona.
For her to propose sothing so dangerous…
'That man loves his life, I don't think he would dare to do sothing like this just to kill your servant.'
Amaya was betting it all with a cold expression on her face.
