"Life is easier when everything goes according to plan." Ivo walked while dragging four people with both hands. Traces of blood adorned the dark cave which was illuminated by a faint blue light."Myra… Myra… What happened to you? Can someone tell me exactly what happened?" Davis muttered a little. He felt that his body was currently being dragged away by someone.Even though his body still had many unhealed wounds, his mind was still working thanks to the healing potions Myra gave him earlier.Please, please don't let anything happen to her. Those words continued to act as a comfort to him. His voice grew smaller and smaller until he couldn't hear it anymore.He wanted to know what was going on, but his eyes couldn't see clearly. His consciousness was slowly fading, his body slowly recovering causing his mind to begin to rest.Ivo drags them to the inside of the cave where there is a lake. The body he dragged was placed on the edge of the lake. There was not the slightest reaction fro
"You… keep your hands off her." Davis' scream echoed throughout the cave.For a moment, he forgot about his fear of Ivo Graham. He moved his body and fell over as his body still hadn't fully recovered. He stared at Ivo like he would kill him if he continued.He crawled toward Ivo Graham. He kept crawling when he bumped into something. His gaze shifted toward the pile of bodies he had bumped into. Even though the surroundings were quite dark with a faint blue glow, that didn't prevent him from seeing it.Kayla's lifeless body was lying there. Next to him, Hazel's body also lay lifeless. Both of them had sword stab marks on their heart.He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Did he just kill him? What kind of courage did he have that he would dare to kill someone when the white snow academy was watching them?"Y-you… aren't you scared that white snow academy will act against you for this.""Scared? Why should I be scared All I did was kill two insignificant people.""After all, as long
"You can start saying. I'll listen." Ivo reminded Davis of one important thing before he said anything. "But remember, don't play games with me."Davis nodded and answered quietly. "I understand. I have experienced more than enough torture both physically and mentally." Davis looked around him before turning his gaze to Ivo.Ivo understood what he meant. "Don't worry, White Snow Academy won't listen to what we're going to talk about. When I was about to kill those two, I used magic that disrupted the flow of mana in this environment. So they won't find out.""Even someone like Argon who is called a Space Controller would not be able to know what was going on here. Otherwise, he would have killed me for committing murder during the academy entrance test.""Unless he moves directly and supervises directly on this island, everything we talk about will never be known by White Snow Academy.""That's good then." Davis was relieved to hear that. He didn't want what he revealed at this time w
“What did I want? No, no. You're wrong about something. The right word should be, what can you give?” Ivo put his sword back into the bracelet."I don't have anything anymore." He really had nothing more to offer. Ivo had taken everything he had. His interdimensional artifacts, information, and even his mana sense had been sealed by him.'His condition is truly pathetic. He reminds me of my early days playing Destiny.'Even though he reminded him of his past, Ivo had no intention of having mercy on this person. He separates his personal emotions from important things to do.Seeing no other answer coming, Ivo offered him one thing. "Why don't you become my subordinate. That way I will save her life and our trade will be equal.”'His condition is truly pathetic. He reminds me of my early days playing Destiny.'Even though he reminded him of his past, Ivo had no intention of having mercy on this person. He separates his personal emotions from important things to do.Seeing no other answe
"So how are we going to do this thing you call a Compliance contract?" "Easy, how far do you know about alchemists?" Ivo asked him. "Just basic knowledge. At least I know how the law of equal exchange they use." "Then I don't need to explain at length. Compliance contracts have the same concept as using the law of equal exchange. The contract will bind us both based on what I give and demands loyalty from the contracted person. The result will form an equal exchange between the two." Davis looked confused when he heard that. "I still do not understand." Ivo answered curtly. "You will understand when we begin. Remember don't move a bit." Davis nodded and followed Ivo's lead. He had no more desire to fight Ivo and obediently followed his every word. Ivo started activating his magic circle. He eats mind calming leaves to clear his mind of other unnecessary things. The magic circle that was created started to glow a blood red color. Blood slowly began to flow and formed a chain tha
"Get up. We're not done yet." Ivo pointed at Myra. "I will tell you how to save her from this attack.""Yes master" Davis got up but kept his head down. The fear that was in his heart slowly faded away. There is only inferiority to the person in front of him.'It seems to be working well.'There are so many types of contracts that exist in this world that it is almost impossible to count them. Almost every organization has some kind of method of making contracts that binds people so it will be very difficult to destroy the contracts that have been made.Compliance contracts are like that too. This is an innovation that does not exist in this world.Compliance contracts require demands from the counterparty to be fulfilled. When those demands were met, they would surrender their allegiance only to the highest authority of the contract. It's almost like brainwashing, but it's not. When their demands were met, they would wholeheartedly follow their master without any coercion. They will
"Master, are you sure the plan you described earlier will work? If I go along with what you're saying, I'm not sure that this plan will work.""The success rate is 70%. You underestimate White Snow Academy too much." Ivo handed over the small storage bag he had gotten from Hazel. All the items there have been taken and moved into the bracelet. Leaving the items Davis might need."The rest is up to you. Either you succeed or fail in carrying it out. You must live. Death is not allowed." Ivo emphasized to him. He's very serious about this."Even if you are going to die, I will not allow it. Live to the end. Survive even if you are now a believer in the religion of death. Even when death is chasing you, you must live. Don't let what we talked about today get out."This was the first command he gave. Ivo left him alone in the cave. The last words rang in his ears. "See you soon The Lost One.""Yes, Master." Davis knelt on the ground until Ivo's sight left his sight. Only he himself was le
"You really haven't changed Rachel." Raven crossed the forest in a state of concealment. His gaze drifted behind him to where he had left Rachel."She's really stubborn. I know his intentions are good to help me, but what I'm after and what I'm facing is something very dangerous. I cannot harm you by doing this." Raven cast his magic and erased all the traces left behind.This will give him more time, so it will all be finished when Rachel finds him.Raven kept moving through the forest. A strange feeling pierced his heart, his instincts told him that something was wrong in this forest but he ignored it and continued running following the clues he got earlier.The forest that originally contained only trees, wild plants, and a few wild beasts and even monsters was now very quiet. Trees lose their leaves and leave a dead stem. Corpses of all kinds of monsters and beasts could be found all over the place.Raven examined a bear corpse with red claws. The size of the bear is 10 times bigg
