--Necroma Pov--
The feat alone was too good to say that it was impressive, if anything it was miraculous, the fight barely started, but he has already shown a dangerous quality about himself.
He could see the path of death and how it travel, that\'s all I could conclude with our short meeting, "The truth of life is death" it is the original magic I created by summoning a being that does not abide by the laws of the living, hence fort if the two collided, only one can remain, and it\'s always death that\'s comes out on top as death is the end goal of life.
Death is unavoidable, even for me someone like me who has dreamed of seeking out the origin of magic, in hopes of acquiring true immortality, from the blood of the world, as of right now I can only create a body filled with life and transfer my soul to it every time it reaches of age to sustain my existence.
I have long lost count of how many times I have repeated this process, but it makes me live on for as long as I want, but that doesn\'t mean I would give up on finding the world\'s blood to acquire the ultimate magic all witches and warlocks so desire.
But enough of that, this pest, this annoyance, this disrespectful demon dare talk to me one of the five chief and progenitors of the forest fairies in such a way.
Who does he think he is, and why should I submit to this demon, even my husband The Berserker of Madaraka sea, the destroyer of the province of Ilnhem could not tame me, although ugly he was manly and useful, but what makes him beautiful was his inherent ability as a goblin king, and he was one of the most powerful warriors of his time as well before he fell to that monster Cu Chulainn in the great war of the fairies.
Only if that beast of man didn\'t kill him, I could have reached Eden, I could become an inheritor, I could have finally been a possessor of ultimate magic, the pinnacle of all magic that affects the very fabric of the universe, as it defines the laws of creation, and step into or maybe above the realm of a miracle.
But no he just had to die like a useless fool, why was my time and love wasted on him, if I had known earlier I would have extracted his lineage ability for myself to study further, then I would have been one step closer to my dream.
"Useless, useless, useless, uselessuselessuseless!!!!"
But as I said this, I watch as the intruder the demon, the devil child, the anomaly began to do something I cannot explain.
He started defying the laws of gravity and turning the air around him into leverage as he began running up the sky without a proper foothold.
"Is he using gravity magic?"
I wondered.
"No, I don\'t sense any mana in his feet or any signs of a spell being cast, it seems like natural defiance, but how is that possible for a demon, how can he walk up the air like climbing up a bunch of stairs, that doesn\'t make any sense, just what the hell are you, a high demon, an archduke, or a dean."
Yes demons, they are dangerous beings that are said to have been the children of Lilith, the first demon king, representing the sin of Lust the vilest of the nine sins to exist.
But as I continue to watch this anomaly, my annoyance turns to curiosity, and my curiosity turns to shock and disbelief, however, what caught my attention was not the anomaly itself, instead, it was the weapon of the anomaly.
Through the use of my observation magic, I notice this blade was not normal, for one it seems to be a living weapon, if so then without a doubt the demon before me is at least the Archduke class, however, the weapon was truly a powerful artifact, it can move at supersonic speed, communicate with it master via telepathy most likely, and even control its size at will.
I wonder if I can wield it for myself, maybe even research it, but the thought soon vanishes because right after, the anomaly did something impossible, something I was not expecting in the slightest.
Slice!
"Preposterous there no way... there is no way, you can do something like that, seeing death is one thing but straight-up killing it, is another, who no what the hell are you!?"
I shouted in annoyance and disbelief, this demon is more than meet the eye, however, he did not answer me the way I wanted, instead, he place the great sword that has killed thousands of my children deep into the ground, as he look at me, for a moment I shiver just looking at those eyes.
Thung!
And what he said just piss me off, even more, no if anything he was looking down on me, and I hated that, I am no one toy or puppet, much less a slave, but to him, he cared less, I could see it, he is the type that gets what he wants and seeing those eyes of his.
I know instinctively he is going to have his way at all cost, one way or the other as he said while taking a seat at the center of all five thousand of my goblin soldiers, my precious kids that I use as a factory to produce my vessels.
However, it was obvious the way he sat down, was to prove a point and set his dominance, the confidence coming from his eyes was not normal, it was horrifying if I had to be honest.
But as I watch this I began to wonder, does he want to die, because this stupid act of his will cost him his life, there is just one of him, and over five thousand of us, but as he sat there he began to speak as such, and suggested something that I wasn\'t suspecting.
"Sigh... well that is a very selfish wish of yours, your lust was just greed, in the end, how boring, but it\'s still a dream nonetheless, but with that said I finally understand you now, well your desire that is, he hehe... hey pretty lady let me repeat myself one more time, you can think of this as a last warning, no an all or nothing event, I am a gentleman, after all, so let\'s make a deal."
He said to me unfazed by the events happening around him, this demon truly seems suicidal, but I could tell he was serious despite his arrogance.
To be honest, I know that arrogance very well, because ever since enemies come into this layer over the years, I have never once given anyone the courtesy of actually getting up from this throne to fight any of them, as I just spam them with multiple magic base attack due to my high mana pool, and they die and become part of this throne.
And the way he presented himself with his back laid freely on the sword as if to show he was bored, along with those carefree eyes of his, at this time and the moment I know he was going to suggest something interesting, and even if I refused he might even have a way to defeat me.
Although he is not the only one with a trump card, as I still have many surprises up my sleeves before I use it, however, he is the first to not only dodge my instant death attack but also kill it.
He is not normal, so I must give credit where it is due, as a warrior myself, despite being a necromancer witch who converts to a goblin, I still have the pride of a warrior fairy, so I swallow my pride as I said while summoning hundred of flaming lance all aim at him just for safety as I said.
"Demon what do you mean by those words, of understanding me, what can you possibly even know about me, and what can you possibly offer me that I don\'t have?"
He smiles at my words as if amused as he said.
"It\'s the opposite goblin lady, I know you better than anyone else, your desire, your destiny, and even the source of your greed, you seek immortality by contracting the world right?"
"Haaaa.... how do you even know that?"
I said in shock as no one knows my true dreams or the real reason for my betrayal, however, he laughed and responded as such.
"Kekekek... have you ever heard of the term divine eyes?"
At these words, my eye widens in shock, if I remember correctly divine eyes are unique optic organs that only 1 in 100,00,000 people have an opportunity to awaken, and that every 1 in 100 years at that, even me an Ex-chief fairy has only heard of them, and not seen them for real.
I was shocked if the witches and warlocks of old would find out someone possessed a divine eye they would not hesitate to wage war to get a hold of them.
As divine eyes are said to be given to those loved or chosen by the world, and the last record of them popping into existence was one thousand years ago when the titans still existed, which was the age of the greater gods.
Then if that\'s the case those eyes of his that glow pink, could they be?
And as if he was reading my mind he replied for me.
"Yes, they are a pair of divine eyes gifted to me by the world itself."
"The world as in the concept of the one true benevolent God."
"Haha... I wouldn\'t call the world a benevolent God, if anything it\'s more of a devil than a God, but yeah these eyes that you see before you are called the eyes of desire, they allow me to know all things, as long as I desire it, I can even see the past, present, and future."
"That\'s why I came here, I want you, and you best believe I am going to get what I want, I see your potential become mine Necroma D\' Undying husbands of the Goblin King, daughter of the Queen of the forest fairies, if you join me and become my slave I could promise you much than just a chance to get ultimate magic, I can also offer you a direct audience with the world, if you prove your worth to me that is."
These words left me speechless, they were tempting, but I wasn\'t going to fall for such bullshit so easily, although I\'m still wondering how he avoided death and also slain it, if he does have divine eyes then that would explain his anomalous nature.
So I said as such.
"Why should I believe you, how do I know you\'re not lying?"
"A contract, of equal terms."
He said without batting an eye, of course, I replied as such.
"By contract, you do mean a demon contract right?"
"Yes, a contract that binds the soul, and it not possible to go against it."
"And what are these terms?"
"It\'s simple if you agree to become my eternal sex slave and provide me with much-needed nutrients and service every night or whenever I desire it, I will help you realize your dreams, I have seen your desires, and with these eyes, I can help you obtain ultimate magic."
When he said this I fired several fire lances at him in anger for the disrespect, but that sword of his completely destroyed them, while my anger grow as I said.
"Are you trying to take me for a fool, a sex slave, do I look like some easy whore to you?"
However, he answers me with his common sense.
"Now look here woman, I\'m an incubus, so I rely on sex to survive, I\'m not interested in love, and I\'m very picky when it comes to a woman as I have good taste, honestly I prefer a beautiful woman as my main course, and what do you lose I mean I also know you can you just create more goblins to create an endless amount of vessels to house your soul, so you\'re like a food factory for me, and you will be receiving a chance to gain power, and you can\'t even provide me with a decent meal in return?"
"An incubus, as in the male version of a succubus?"
"Yes, that\'s why I\'m collecting women from left to right as I feast on their life force to survive."
"But still I don\'t sleep with just anyone, I find it easier by beheading you and just taking your divine eyes for myself."
"Of course you do, but ok then how about we play a game?"
"A game, what kind of game?"
"A game of all or nothing, if I win your soul no your very existence is mine, and if you win you can take anything from me in return."
With those words, I began to think, if I won this game I can get his divine eyes as my own, hell even if he is telling a lie, he is pretty strong so he would make a good research product to further myself, so it was an interesting offer, so with that said I ask.
"What are the rules of this game?"
When I ask this he smiles sadistically as he said.
"The rules are simple, the first person, to acknowledge defeat by saying their name, will automatically win, for example, if I am badly injured and you ask, what is my name? And I say Necroma D\' Undying you win no question asked."
The rules were simple, but if it\'s a battle to see who is stronger I was clearly in the win, he has a great sword, cheating-like eyes, and amazing fighting capabilities, but I have years\' worth of mana stored up, and an infinite pool of it since I set up this place with bountiful mana crystal that suffices me, I also have access to hundreds of offensive and defensive spells, and my final trump card could make it my win no question ask.
With that said this was an absolute win, so with that said for the first time in my life I arise from my throne as I teleport before the Demon as I ask.
"What\'s your name?"
He answered as such
"My name is Loki Ikol the demon that will soon be your master."
"Loki... ha.... very well then I accept your challenge Loki, but I will have you know, you will be my toy and lab rat as your soul and existence shall be mine to play with for all eternity if you lose."
"Hahaha... trust me you shall be the one losing here, as you are clearly weaker than me, however, what\'s your name?"
"You already know it."
"Well, for the games to work you will have to write your name and sign with your blood on this paper."
And like that, a demonic contract suddenly pops out of nowhere, of course, I began to read over it, to see if the conditions were as set, and everything look fine to me, so with that said, I began to write my names using the dark quilt that was floating in the air, as I bit my thumb, and sign with my blood and upon doing that, it caught on fire as it disappears.
From there I suddenly began to see, a weird notification that pop up in front of me, as it read as such.
[The world has bear witness to the contract]
[Let the game of all or nothing begin]
