[Primordial Divine Beast Void Serpent lv.40 has sent you a contract request. Do you accept?]
John chose Accept without the slightest hesitation.
At once, he saw the giant python raise its head.
"Next, please leave the contract mark upon my heart."
As soon as the words fell, the python's chest split open to either side like a pair of doors.
A bloody, pulsing heart was revealed within.
Seawater washed endlessly over it, flushing out streams of gore.
The contract ritual was just that brutal and bloody.
For this giant python to endure such torment and still insist on completing the ritual just to escape this place—
the methods used by those people in Scholars' City were probably ten thousand times crueler.
John immediately stepped forward and struck out a contract sigil.
A black imprint appeared at once upon the python's mountain-like heart.
Gurgle! Gurgle!
The moment the contract was completed, the surrounding bloodied water began to churn like boiling liquid.
