Therefore, he spent the next month reading the novel over and over again to preserve it, and so when the time was up he bid farewell to his family, Thompson did not tell anyone about his illness.
Presently In Thompson's Underground Facility
(The message mentioned that the departure time will be exactly at 23:23) Thompson thought while sitting on his desk staring at the clock with a nervous expression.
(Five minutes..) Thompson
(3 minutes....) Thompson
(One Minute.....) Thompson
(20 seconds..) Thompson
(10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1)
The book started floating in the air in front of Thompson's stunned eyes then suddenly turned into a shiny flash, that blinded Thompson
"W...What is this?" Thompson muttered in shock after opening his eyes.
After Thompson's vision returned, he found himself standing in a place where nothing could be seen, this space was completely dark, but this was not what surprised Thompson, because he already knows what this place is.
In a dark place Thompson only sees red eyes that open just now looking at him, and creatures size could not be seen with his eyes.
"H-Huge!!"
On the battlefield that Thompson witnessed in his vision, he saw a lot of huge creatures he still remembers some creatures over two hundred meters high, but they can't even be compared to the creature standing in front of Thompson right now.
(Now let's get started), Thompson said while picking up a small whistle in his hands
Thompson is now in Lucas's spiritual space, as mentioned in the article that appeared in the book Thompson's soul will move into Lucas's spiritual space while his body will disappear from Thompson's original world and will be kept in a safe place until Thompson returns, the whistle in his hands is a magical weapon once he uses it Thompson Will take Lucas's body.
"fffyssss." Thompson used the whistle, and it made a strong sound that made the spiritual space vibrate.
(What is this?...) Thompson
After the whistle blew, Thompson did not seize the body as planned. Instead, Seven different creatures appeared in front of him looking at him cold eyes.
"How dare you try to disturb his Majesty." said the black figure that appears in front of him.
"What!!" Thompson muttered, with a face full of terror
Thompson didn't know that the creatures in front of him, in this case, it would be impossible to control Lucas body, if Thompson could not make Lucas under control it would be his end.
"I don't like to repeat myself, What are you doing here?" Black figure said in a cold voice
(This is dangerous) Thompson thought, trembling with fear, as he is coming from the modern world where peace prevails, and this is the first time he meets a dangerous creature like the person standing in front of him.
(I will lend you some of my power, kill them quickly) Suddenly Thompson heard a voice in his mind
Thompson knew that the speaker must be the one who sent him to this world, but Thompson did not have time to think about what happened so much as he suddenly began to feel great energy filling his soul
(Yes. Yes, with this power, I can do it, I can win) Thompson thought happily
*Bond of Darkness*
"Ahh.." Thompson cried in pain, but as time passed the pain increased.
Just then, around Thompson was bound by chain as he tried to free himself but the chain got more tight as time passed and then Thompson soul disappeared from the space as it never exists.
Midnight
In an Iskar City Morningstar Palace
Thus, After he wakes up, then in his mind he see many information about Thompson memory fragment come to his mind and he see many Thompson small fragment memories without any chance of emotions.
Inside the room, there is a desk in which sits a burly muscular young man with black hair and black eyes and a cold aura surrounding him who seems to be drowning in thought.
The young man looked at the small circular window in the room and found that the sun was already rising so he turned off the magic lamp that was placed on his desk and went out of the room, Thus, he found himself directly standing in the garden, after he cast a fleeting glance at the vast green that was surrounding the wall from every direction.
"Sir, good morning." Suddenly The young Man heard a calm voice coming from behind.
"Good morning Ethan " The man replied without turning around. "There is a change of plans. We aren't going to clear the dungeon."
"But sir, we have spent a lot of time and money on this preparation" Ethan said "and you know it has been four months since the appearance of this dungeon, if we do not clean it as soon as possible, it will explode within the next two months for sure."
A Three Star dungeon, and the main task is to eliminate the monsters inside this dungeon and close it.
"We can't clean this dungeon with our current power." The young man said
"I want two Pegasus horses to be ready after breakfast and you and I will go on a mission after breakfast." Lucas
"Okay sir" Ethan said
"And don't tell anyone about this mission." Lucas said
"Okay, sir," said Ethan, an old man with White hair and a Butler Costume, firmly, and though he had many questions, he decided to keep them to himself after all his just a servant and his main job is to execute the young man's orders without question.
The young man is Lucas Morningstar and shows no signs of emotions change.
After sunrise, Lucas returned to his room, sat on his desk, and took off the necklace he was wearing under his clothes. The necklace consists of a string made of strange metal with strange symbols and small words covering every part of the series, and a black gem hanging at the end.
"Noah, woke up," Lucas said
Suddenly the black gem emitted a white glare then Lucas began to feel the power of laws emanating from the necklace. Thus, and without any warning, a white crow appeared in front of Lucas.
"Boy! How do you know my name?" the white crow said in a loud voice
*The spirit gate* necklace is one of the six weapons of the legendary rank possessed by mankind, the Morningstar family has used it for centuries to create special contracts with spirits. This Necklace is the most powerful weapon owned by the Morningstar family, but the secret that Lucas discovered is that the necklace actually has a guardian spirit of its own, but this spirit will not appear unless someone calls him by his name *Noah*.
"This is not important, I want you to activate the loyalty contract," Lucas said
"W-what? How do you know about the loyalty contract?" Noah said with a surprised voice
Using the spirit gate, the Morningstar family was able to obtain the power of spirits by creating contracts with spirits for centuries. These Contracts are protected by the necklace and forced by the necklace's guardian. The violation of the contract is punished by death in normal circumstances, and the loyalty contract is the most dangerous of these contracts that's why the Morningstar family canceled this contract centuries ago.
"Noah, I don't like questions, just obey the order," Lucas said
(W-what am I afraid of this kid?) Noah thought, shivering a little at Lucas's look
"No, just make a detailed list of their actions and I will personally decide who will be punished from now on." Lucas.
"Alright," said Noah
(They must be very scared now) Lucas thought with an indifferent face
And that's how the Morningstar family learned about the loyalty contract and everyone shivered after reading its terms.
[ Rules:
1/ It is strictly forbidden to pass on information about the Morningstar family to an outside party, no matter how trivial the information is
2/ Not to hold any evil thoughts towards the Morningstar family
3/ It is forbidden to kill a member of the Morningstar family
4/ Respecting the chain of command and not violating the orders of the head of the family
5 / It is forbidden to hide important information from the head of the family
The penalty for breaking the contract is to destroy the soul of the offender, Punishment must be applied in the contracting spirit with the offender and this contract is protected by the spirit gate]
Unknown location
Two characters were making their way in the violent snowstorm that covered the place with its cold wind and its thick Snow.
Suddenly the two people stop walking at the same time.
"The loyalty contract has been reactivated, looks like the guardian of the necklace has woken up," one of them said in a shocked voice
"Do you mean the contract that the family forbade 10 thousand years ago? "The other said, "I thought that the name of the guardian had become forgotten in the family, how did this happen? "
"I do not know, but it seems that the current head of the family is not an ordinary person," said the first
" Do you know what this means?"
"Yes, now he knows about our existence, and he can order the guardian to kill us if he wants to… Sigh, that would be troublesome."
In Lucas room
After Noah heard his name, he had to wake up from his sleep which lasted more than six thousand years. As soon as he woke up, he found in front of him another descendant of the family line that he had to serve for tens of thousands of years, but as soon as he saw this man Noah knew that this person is much more dangerous than his ancestors. Why?
That is because Noah is a nine-rank spirit with hundreds of Thousands of years of experience in dealing with spirits and souls, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see or feel Lucas's soul and the chance to exist a soul strong enough that Noah himself can't see it is nearly null.
In addition to that according to the Spirits Gate, Lucas contracted with zero spirits which is something never happened, this experience made that him shiver.
After all Spirits can control spirits that are weaker than them easily, and since Noah is a nine-rank spirit, he can control all the spirits that pass through the Spirit Gate, and we should know that the number of nine-rank spirits does not exceed a hundred and Noah is one of the strongest of those spirits.
With these thoughts in his mind, Noah suddenly asked "Boy, do you have a special soul?"
After hearing Noah's question Lucas put the book he was reading on the desk and answered Noah with a serious voice. "You don't need to know everything about me and why do you want to know?."
"W-What? " that makes Noah vary of unknown
"You seem too surprised. You live long life so that is natural because old people always vary of unknown." Lucas's said
Noah heard his heard his word, with his eyes wide open suffering a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time *horror*
