Chapter 139: Soul contract

"That is a scary power that you wield in your hand" Stella commented "I see why father likes you"

"Thanks, but please do not to forget to credit my bonds too, they were also a part of the fight. Now that I have to go out of my ways to beat you guys into submission, I got something nice planned for you, form a soul contract with me, I want your loyalty"

"You want...us as...your slaves, it's forbidden within our organization, you fool!" Bora cursed as he was bleeding heavily on the ground, Terra was unconscious and Perun was breathing very faintly

"I know, slavery is forbidden, only our pawns like the red sword do that, but you should know the difference between a soul contract and a slave crest, a slave can't even question the order that is given to them, but one under a soul contract can. And there's no rules against soul contracts, isn't that right, Stella?"

"He is right, a few of mine offered to do a soul contract too, it's just not commonly used, but by no means is it against the rules" Stella confirmed

"Don't worry, the others apart from Jake will also be doing it soon. Consider yourselves as special, because you all are going to be my personal assistants, that should have a nice ring to it"

-As your bonds, can I also boss them around?- Ace asked

-Yeah, but not as much as me though. It should be fun, I love being strong-

Urie, Draven and Alice was at their usual meeting spot, discussing about the recent events.

"An affinity for all magic, huh. And here I thought that our boss was the only special one" Draven commented

"Stella also have an affinity for all of them" Alice pointed out

"It doesn't really count since she was created from scratch" Draven argued "She might just look a regular corrupted human with dragon wings. but the boss said that she has the intelligence level of a griffin, the physical strength of a dragon plus the magic and regenerative skill of a phoenix, that's one badass creation by any standard"

"Have you 2 heard about the recent...chaos occurring within the organization?" Alice asked

"I have, the list of misfits that the 3 given him, most of them have been subdued by Perseus" Urie smiled as he was amused "I wouldn't have gone out and put so much effort into doing what he did, but I'm really curious on why he chose the troublemakers within the organization instead of easier targets that are just as strong, he really entertains me"

"Heh, according to Stella, he even got them to form a soul contract under him" Draven chuckled "A mid purple core wielding an equipment that has the power to overpowered 3 black core opponents. How scary would he be when he reaches the black core? That kingdom just lost their most important treasure to us, should've just taken a nicer approach like us instead of scheming."

"We did almost bomb him with the chimeras" Alice commented "I wouldn't categorize it as a nice approach"

"You know what I meant"

1st person view

The Silver family and Cordelia was in a big carriage on their way to The Zale kingdom, home to Mermaid academy to meet my accursed grandparents and other relatives. I was even told to not wear my usual clothing, so I switched plot armor into a nice semi casual black suit.

Zale is apparently a big kingdom that is located in the middle of a lake. Before humans took over the area, there were mermen and mermaids living in that lake coining the name of the academy there as mermaid academy.

Eliza and Luke didn't want to come along, especially Luke, because he said that he met them before, and wouldn't want to experience it again.

"Why do you smell weird ever since you came back?" Cordelia sniffed me "You're not cheating on me with your new teacher, right?"

"My new teacher is a dude"

"There's nothing wrong with you going after another man"

"That's not the point I was raising"

"Were you with another nymph while you were gone?" she asked "Your presence feels...familiar"

-The soul contract between you and Terra, it might give a slight change to your presence somehow- Diana pointed out

-Nymphs can easily sense other nymphs, no matter how different they are- Dabria confirmed

"That might be it"

"You not confirming it makes you sound even more suspicious" she narrowed her eyes

"Don't worry, Perseus isn't the type to cheat on a woman...maybe" Ace tried to come to my rescue

"You really have that less of faith in me, huh, you silly cat"

"Yes, if he did cheat, Siege would have already feasted on him" Ace continued

-I wouldn't- Siege denied -Though I will teach you a lesson-

"It was a oread, a mountain nymph"

-You forgot to mention Stella- Damon reminded

-Shut up-

"I'm honestly quite jealous of my own son, I mean how the hell does he even just casually raise flags with a woman he just met" Dad complained before getting his ear yanked by mom

"You're married to me, you doofus" Mom said

"Big bro, how many girls do you plan on marrying?" Oliver asked

"Yeah, how many big sisters are we going to get?" Emily added

"I would prefer to not answer that question as it would get me in trouble with big sis Cordelia over here"

-You could have just answer 1- Dabria suggested

-But I want a harem-

-What are we going to do with you?- She groaned

"I'm really not looking forward to this" Oliva sighed "I heard the stories from John before our marriage"

"Heh, you think we want to?" John responded "I remember visiting once after they disowned us after Axel's and Mary's marriage. Luke thought that they might have already changed their ways, but nope. Still the same as ever, we'll just show them the 3 children, talk for a bit then we'll leave the kingdom."

"Yes, we've heard this many times" Olivia nodded "If they hate commoners like us, and if they really are as mean as you say, I'm more worried about them. Diana might just burn their house down or Damon might 'accidently' destroy their house"

-Humans are still as horrible as ever- Siege commented -I might also 'accidently' fest on them-

-Let's not, with our luck, we might be even be banned from all 10 kingdoms at this rate-
