Chapter 142: Despicable Human, Despicable Demon
A gale blew across the altar, scattering all the items to the ground, and then swept towards the parchment.
At this time, the words on the contract seemed to melt, and the solidified blood flowed down the paper.
Accompanied by the approach of the gale, the parchment also vibrated violently, as if it was about to be sucked into the wind.
Colby pinched the corners of the parchment tightly, not letting go even if he fell.
This was his only hope for release!
On the other side, William was not idle.
After the first bottle of Holy Water was splashed, he immediately took out the second bottle and threw it at the crow statue.
That was the true location of Malphas's spiritual power.
"Foolish!"
After experiencing a lesson once, Malphas was obviously much more cautious.
It did not smash the flying glass bottle, but chose to use the wind to carry it aside and put it gently on the ground.
Subsequently, an unconscious dead spirit appeared beside the crow statue.
The latter's appearance was exactly the same as Colby, and a pitch-black chain was around its neck.
The other end of the chain extended into the vortex, connected to an unknown place.
"Human, if you don't stop, I will tear this slave's soul apart!" Malphas roared.
Then the chain glowed with black light, and the dead spirit showed a look of pain.
Colby opposite also felt his brain sink, as if hit hard by a hammer.
He knelt down, his consciousness instantly blurred, and his hands loosened weakly.
Then the parchment immediately flew towards the crow statue.
Thud.
In the next second, William arrived in time and stepped on the parchment firmly.
He would not easily let go of what he had obtained.
At the same time, William also opened the seal of the wooden jar and threw it towards the crow statue.
"Despicable guy, trying to provoke disputes between demons, stupid."
Although there is opposition between demons, they will not be at the mercy of humans.
Malphas immediately supported the wooden jar and put it gently on the ground.
"Deal with this human first, we can later..."
Before it finished speaking, it was hit hard.
Scarlet power surged from the mouth of the jar, instantly shrouding the crow statue.
"Valakh! You dare to cooperate with humans!"
"Shameless traitor! You will be forever spurned by demons."
One eye of the crow statue revealed anger.
But the other one rolled its eyes.
"Your fury only shows your incompetence."
"As for betrayal, it's hard to imagine such a word coming out of a demon's mouth."
Valakh's voice also sounded inside the statue, sounding quite flippant.
Demons certainly belong to the same camp.
But expecting them to help each other is too naive.
If the scene at this time were seen by other Demon Gods, the other party would not help Malphas.
Instead, they would stab their own kind twice in the chaos, absorb all the power of Malphas and Valakh, and thus advance their own rank further.
Malphas obviously understood this too.
Therefore, after the initial harsh words, it remained silent, competing with Valakh for the authority of the statue.
"Hey, human, the second bottle." Valakh's voice suddenly sounded.
William immediately threw a bottle of Holy Water; this was agreed upon with Valakh from the beginning.
Time goes back to shortly before.
"Malphas enslaved a soul. I plan to summon it and make another deal." William's eyes were calm.
"To make that guy give up, you must have enough valuable chips."
Valakh chuckled lightly, obviously not thinking William could do it.
But William pointed his finger at the former: "The chip is you, and what I really want to do is destroy that contract."
Valakh raised an eyebrow immediately.
"You dare to manipulate a demon and even know the weakness of the contract, interesting..."
There are two ways to get rid of the contract.
First, of course, is to reach a deal with the demon.
But in most cases, demons will not let humans have their way; this is their nature.
And the second is to destroy the contract completely.
Although the parchment is provided by the demon, its binding power comes from the "Unknowable Space."
Demons only possess the authority to "tamper" because of their higher rank.
But the binding force of the contract itself cannot be changed by the former.
So every contract is unique.
No matter how many times a demon signs with a human, it will only appear on the same parchment.
Therefore, burning the contract can completely eliminate the constraint, and even demons cannot stop it.
This rule was originally written on every contract.
But for some reason, demons successfully hid this part of the clause.
So Valakh looked surprised.
Demons would never tell humans about this, and even it was no exception.
And William knew this because of that "Sacred Chapter."
It completely recorded regulations related to "Rituals" and "Contracts."
But he naturally wouldn't tell Valakh about this.
"These are not important. Our alliance can let you teach your nemesis a lesson, and you can also get Holy Water."
William's tone was like a demon.
"And I can complete the commission; everyone benefits."
Valakh's eyes flickered; it was indeed somewhat tempted, of course for the Holy Water.
"Why are you so sure I will agree?" It said.
William shrugged: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
Valakh raised an eyebrow, savoring this sentence.
"Okay, six bottles of Holy Water."
"Two bottles; I still have to keep some for self-defense."
"Three bottles, or the deal is off."
"Deal."
After settling, Valakh looked at William a few more times: "You guy, are you really from the Church?"
Time returns to the present.
After taking the Holy Water, Valakh hummed again.
Due to the purification of Holy Power, the evil aura on the surface of the crow statue dissipated rapidly.
The power of both demons was weakened to varying degrees.
But because of its special fetish, Valakh gained the upper hand over Malphas in the struggle for authority.
It separated a part of its power and drove the wind to drift aside.
There was a bottle of Holy Water on the ground there, which was thrown by William at the beginning.
"This bottle is not counted in the agreement." Valakh said greedily, pulling out the cork.
Seeing this, William narrowed his eyes.
Demons really cannot be fully trusted.
Valakh drank the Holy Water in front of William, but then roared.
"Damn it, why is it one-year vintage Holy Water!"
It stared closely at William, and the latter also looked at it calmly.
When William threw that bottle of Holy Water earlier, he never thought of using high-vintage quality.
Firstly, this might not necessarily eliminate Malphas, and would also leave Valakh with the impression of "abundant stock."
Secondly, with this "traitor" of the demon camp here, why would William waste extra?
20-year vintage Holy Water is precious, although he still has a dozen bottles in his bag.
Anyway, after confronting each other for a while, both sides cursed inwardly: "Cunning guy."
With Valakh's distraction, William could finally focus on the demon contract.
At this time, Colby had regained his sanity. He looked at his soul and was stunned on the spot for a moment.
"The moment the contract is torn, you must hold the crucifix tightly and pray piously to the Lord."
William looked at this old man.
"Only in this way can you receive the protection of the Holy Light."
At this time, his tone did have a bit of a missionary's flavor.
Colby took the crucifix and nodded vigorously.
At the same time, William also took out the Exorcism Bible.
