Chapter 32 A Talk with the Demon

When Neigher was about to change his mind, he was pulled into the dream world again.

"The task of summoning superior creatures was completed."

"Voice: play a phrase of the ancient language in your mind. It could be used to learn the ancient language. If one learned the ancient language, he could talk to the most ancient lives on this land. It was more accurate to say that it was the frequency of the earth-shaking than a language."

"Blessing: The Permanent Dragon Roar. This move could temporarily intimidate the enemy. And it could also have power over an enemy without a real entity."

"Blessing: Decay. Let us be one..."

It was the first time that Neigher had seen a reward with "voice" at the beginning. Would it play over and over again in his mind? The occultism experience of his previous life made him resist this option incomparably. He would consider choosing it after his mental power became stronger. Anyway, these skills would be refreshed.

In consideration of the duel with Tiffany, the Dragon Roar was more worth learning. And it could also deal with the ghosts in the forest.

"I choose the second one." Said Neigher.

However, the dream world did not disappear with his choice.

"The degree of completion of the task is high. I have become a little sober and can answer some of your questions."

Neigher was excited. Finally, he could ask those questions in his heart.

Then, he saw the skeleton head with colorful feathers appear on a stone pillar. Just like what it had done when he had just passed through time and place.

"Ah, my candidate. I'm glad to see you again." It said in English. And its voice was very old. Although the skeleton didn't move, Neigher could still feel that it had changed.

"Weren't you sober when you talked to me before?" Neigher asked.

"Except for the last time when I explained the duel to you, all the other times were not when I was sober. You can take it as my subconscious dream words. Or it's like the recording function on Earth." The skeleton head said.

"Why did my summoning spell wake you up? Do those spells in my previous life have anything to do with you?" Neigher asked.

"Oh, it's none of my business. The magic you used this time is not the summoning skill of your previous life. I secretly tampered with your magic." The skeleton head said. "You summoned a part of me."

"What?"

Neigher knew that this kind of summoning ceremony was afraid of encountering such a thing. The objects that were not originally pointed to in the spell were summoned.

"It's impossible. I have done every step according to the procedure and there will be no mistake. Besides, I understand every word of the spell. How could it be a spell that summoned part of you?" He couldn't help but tighten his tail and wings.

"Yes, you hadn't made any mistake." The skeleton head said. "But I borrowed your body to change the meaning of the spell when you can't feel it."

Neigher shivered. His muscles trembled from beginning to end.

"Borrow my body?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. This is one of my divine powers, the parasitism." The skeleton head had always been calm. "I was afraid that you would not summon my scattered body in the universe. So I temporarily controlled you for a few seconds and tampered with the spell with your mouth."

Neigher felt that his scales were shaking uncontrollably. If this god could control him at will, he would be a toy in his hands. In his previous life, there were too many cases where someone was lured by the demon and then played to death. But he soon regained his composure. He speculated that the skeleton head could only control him for a few seconds. Otherwise, why did the skeleton head send so many tasks and use him with the task reward?

"Will you control my body and complete your summoning spell at will?" Neigher asked.

"No. Your mother seems to have blocked the way for me." "Didn't she ask you to swear that you wouldn't use the summoning skill?"

"But it's just a swear."

"Don't underestimate the vows of a giant dragon in this world. From my observation, the vows made by real names of the giant dragon will be generally followed. I apologize to you again. I won't use your body in the future." The skeleton head replied. His attitude was quite sincere.

"It's okay. I forgive you for the sake of your blessings." Neigher said. "But some of your body seemed to have been eaten by the centipede."

"It doesn't matter. I still have a lot of flesh and blood wandering in the universe unconsciously. Your summoning skill was very successful just now. I have successfully established a link with this planet." The skeleton said.

"What? Did I do something wrong to this planet?"

However, he had other questions to ask.

"Tell me about my sister. How is she doing in this world?" Neigher asked.

"Sorry, I can't answer this question. It's related to the result of the duel. I can't destroy the fairness."

"Then why did my sister betray me?"

"Sorry, I can't answer."

"You..." Neigher frowned. "Don't you know much about my previous life?"

"Yes, I have observed you for a long time, because you all want to get me." There was no emotion in that old voice.

"Who wants you? I've never seen you before." Neigher asked. "And what's the benefit of getting you?"

"If you can win my respect, you will get a huge strength." The skeleton head said. "I wandered in the universe, looking for masters one after another. The earth in your previous life described me a lot, including the guide, the whisper of demon, the decay god, and a popular name in your previous life, 'system'."

"What's the last thing? System?" Neigher asked.

"A derivative of popular culture which is usually the guide of the protagonist in novels. The authors of your earth are very good at hiding the real mysterious events in popular culture. Your human beings guide some of the authors to write the real mysterious strength, especially the new author who gets inspiration from the older generation of the author and can create a more mysterious science fiction that is closer to the mysterious world."

Neigher had a feeling that "system" was a popular cultural word. But he was so busy in his previous life that he didn't even play games after thirty years old.

"But there is a simpler way to get my strength. You don't need my respect." The skeleton head said. "That is to choose the third blessing."

"Blessing: Decay, let us be one..."
