Chapter 16 War Preparation

"Once signed, that settles it." Richard smiled and signed his name on the other side of the Soul Contract.

As the contract burned to ashes, an invisible soul chain linked Philster and Richard together.

"Master."

"Mm, good," Richard nodded in approval.

"Gah! This fool is hardly fit for cannon fodder." Ulysses flew in from the window and landed on Richard's shoulder, "In the Upper Plane War, cannon fodder is at least of legendary status. Only natives use those below legend as cannon fodder."

"That's true," Richard's hand emitted a black flame, "but I have a way to turn it into a Level 1 Creature."

"Gaah! With 'Annihilation Flame'?" Ulysses looked at the black flame, puzzled.

He was unaware that his innate flames had this effect.

Richard smiled mysteriously and said no more.
