CHAPTER 22: VAMPIRE COUNT DRACULA ?

Why do people want to call the devil?

It's because people have needs, wants. Be it for strength or eternal youth, they are always looking for ways to achieve what they cannot achieve or do. Therefore, the summoning of demons was born.

Generally speaking, those who summon demons are not good people. A person with a pure and kind heart would never think of seeking help from a demon. Only those who have devious hearts and those who are basically evil will sell their souls to the demons.

Lucius was such a person. Even Roy, the devil, hates him.

But there is no denying that the devil needs people like Lucius. This was because signing a contract with them guaranteed that the demons could stay in another world.

Roy wanted to stay in this world to look around, but he could not fully agree to Lucius' request, so he used trickery to persuade Lucius to change the terms of the contract. Now, Roy understands little about why many religions link demons to lies and deception. The devil is basically not like this but rather is forced by circumstances. That must have been when they met these extremely greedy people!

Roy felt Lucius should thank him. If Roy does not eliminate the little demon in the Gate of the Gorge and responds to the summoning, then Lucius and his people will meet the little demon. Back then, Lucius and the others had only a small amount of blood and internal organs as offerings. They are reluctant to sell their own souls and offer little loyalty but are brave enough to ask for eternal life and world control. That little devil will be angry enough to tear them all apart!

You shouldn't doubt this. Even small demons were much stronger than ordinary humans. Killing Lucius and the others would not be easy. It was not uncommon for a summoner to receive a counterattack from demon summoning, as most demons were ruthless and chaotic. When the devil finds that it cannot enter the contract, it will kill the summoner and devour their soul with little attention to be rejected and expelled by that world power. Therefore, when the summoner does not have the power to guard against demons, summoning demons is extremely dangerous.

Perhaps only Roy had the patience to persuade Lucius to change the contract.

In the Abyss of the Demon World, demons and demons were actually the same race. The only difference is that some demons have higher intelligence and know how to use strategy rather than just violence as the only way to solve the problem. They seem more rational, so humans call them demons. Strictly speaking, Roy could also be called a demon.

The moment Lucius changed his will, the words on the demon contract naturally changed. The details of his contract are that Lucius will give Roy a hundred souls of any quality. In return, Roy will give Lucius a hundred years of age. The contract, under Roy's supervision, has no time limit. This means that until Lucius gives Roy a hundred souls as stipulated in the contract, Roy can use this contract to withhold rejection from the world powers and stay here.

That's not all. Roy had manipulated his words to ensure that he only needed to give Lucius a hundred years of age and not an extra hundred years of age. Considering Lucius was already forty years old, Roy would only need to give him sixty more years of life if he managed to fulfill the contract!

Although Lucius can see the demon contract — after all it is an agreement between them — the demon contract is a manifestation created by the power of the Gate of the Ravine and is inherently biased towards the devil, he said, so he couldn't recognize the demon who wrote in It . Lucius could only stare at the contract cluelessly.

Finally, Roy held out a shiny nail and pointed to the empty space in the contract for Lucius to sign. The contract was completed with Lucius' signature.

Roy did not need to sign because his name was already listed on the devil's contract from the beginning. However, it does not show the whole name of the original demon but only the last segment of its original name, ‘Osiris’.

As soon as Lucius signed the contract, it burned and ran out, signifying that the contract had officially come into force. And the disgust that Roy was experiencing slowly vanished.

What Lucius went through today was so stressful and exciting, that his plump face was filled with sweat and oil, making him appear radiant in that fire. His eyes heated up as he watched the flames engulf the demon contract as he muttered,

“It's very possible. That's very possible! I have also signed a contract with the devil. Now, I don't have to be afraid of that fucking vampire anymore! “ shouted Lucius

Lucius was frightened by Roy's ferocious gaze and subconsciously took two steps back. He replied with fear, “Y-yes, my Lord! I mean Dracula, Count Dracula's a vampire! There were rumors in the city that he was the son of the Villelis family's ancestor. Four hundred years ago, he became a vampire and gained eternal life and power by signing a contract with the devil. ”

Vampire Count Dracula ?? Roy was stunned when he heard that. What the hell is going on??

Hiding his doubts, Roy remained calm while asking jokingly, “Oh? So, when you originally wanted eternal life, you actually wanted to be a vampire? “

“No no!” Lucius quickly shook his head. “Vampire-like creatures are basically monsters. I don't want to be like that! Better to change souls for life! I don't want to be hunted by the church. ”

Roy heard another keyword, church!

Roy had previously suspected that he was summoned through the Abyss Gate to a world similar to Earth. After all, looking at Lucius and the others who resembled humans from Earth, Roy could not help but think this way. After hearing keywords like vampire, Dracula, and church, his suspicions grew.

Roy decided to find out more. “Seeing you so scared, did the vampire attack you?”

“Good my master!” Lucius took out a handkerchief in trepidation and wiped the sweat on his head. “For the past four hundred years, our city has always been plagued by vampires. However, Dracula was the only vampire back then, and he didn't need too much blood. With the city's population, it doesn't cause any problems. However, in recent decades, Dracula has gotten three more vampire brides, and their attacks are increasingly frequent. Every day, many people die because their blood is being sucked, and the city's population is declining. At this rate, the city will end. ”

“Are you not thinking of escaping?” Roy asked.

“Cannot . All the escapees were killed by Dracula. He treats the people of this city as his cattle, so how could he possibly let us go? ” Lucius explained bitterly. “In addition, almost everyone in this city became poor, and there was no money to escape to other places!”

But you mentioned the existence of the church! Roy becomes increasingly suspicious but continues to investigate further. “Does the church allow vampires to go wild?”

“Not everything!” Lucius shook his head. “After Dracula became a vampire, the Villelis family's ancestors self-deprecated and went to church. He did not have the heart to kill his only son, but he swore to God that his descendants would kill Dracula. If they failed to do so, all the souls of the family would not be able to go to Heaven. Because of this oath, the church has agreed to the Villelis family who handle Dracula and does not send any assistance. ”

“But the situation is now a little different!” Lucius continued. “The Villelis family had tried to kill Dracula for four hundred years but to no avail, and they died at his hands one by one. The once-great Villelis family has shrunk to just two remaining members. It's only a matter of time before the Villelis family disappears. After knowing this, the church realized the seriousness of the situation and finally sent someone! “

“Since the church sent someone, how could you still dare to call the devil?” Roy laughs. “Are you not looking for death?”

Roy now suspects that Lucius is trying to trick the devil!

“No no! My lord, please don't misunderstand me! ” Lucius understands Roy's doubts and explains in a panic, “The church did send someone, but you know who they sent? It's Van Helsing! He's just another monster! The people in the city did not want him to appear because if he failed, Dracula would vent his anger into the city and destroy it completely! Now, we have no choice but to turn to you..."
