Chapter 913 - Cost of Surrendering
Chapter 913: Cost of Surrendering
While Rhode and Canary considered their plans for the future, Angelina cautiously scanned the man before her who was about to become her master. Although she was resentful that she had to address someone as ‘master’ as a royal, it was common sense in the Country of Darkness that the weak were prey to the strong. Since she was defeated, she should be punished. But if she were to find out one day that this ‘master’ had aged and was no longer competent to defeat her, she would undoubtedly overthrow and slaughter him for the years of humiliation. Devotion didn’t exist in the Country of Darkness. All that existed was using power to gain status and high positions within the hierarchy. It was the same for the Dark Dragon. where his formidable, admirable powers made the Undead Creatures respect him. If the Dark Dragon were like Lilian, he would have long been overthrown.
This went to show that this had nothing to do with culture. No matter if it were the Country of Darkness, Country of Light or the law-abiding Country of Law, the dragon soul heir would end up miserably without its supreme powers and authority like Lilian.
Therefore, this surely wasn’t an institutional problem.
The reason why Angelina remained so calm was because she wasn’t afraid of being Rhode’s subject. This was due to the fact that she understood that this man was like most humans who would reach the end of his life by the hundredth year, which was ephemeral for a vampire like her. Besides, it seemed like this man held a high status and if she were to serve him, perhaps she might gain some support, which she couldn’t get in the past. As long as she could wait until the day this man became weak and frail, she would then kill him and take over his position for dominance. As for Mini Bubble Gum? She might be strong, but Angelina believed that she wouldn’t be around this man forever. Besides, she was also a human who would grow old one day.
If this man sought immortality from her blood in the future, she couldn’t be happier. She would let him personally experience the blood of the royal vampire which not anyone could tolerate and if he successfully fused her blood with his, he would turn into her obedient slave which would save a lot more trouble on her part.
As a result, Angelina stood silently by the side after satisfyingly cursing Ashvril. She lowered her gaze to the ground, clearly aware of how to capture the man’s trust. Since her goal was to eventually surrender to the man, she must act like it. Apart from venting her frustrations by cursing Ashvril, she was also using this point to show her value to them. Judging from the conversation between the two human young ladies, she was sure that they were knowledgeable about vampires. Moreover, she learned that the Munn Kingdom and Country of Darkness had obvious hostility between them.
Rhode didn’t know what was going on in Angelina’s mind. After all, he wasn’t a mind reader. But based on his understanding of vampires, he had more or less guessed her thoughts, judging from the sight of her behaving like an obedient young lady. Vampires and Liches were the smartest and most cunning creatures in the Country of Darkness. Although he was the Void Dragon, his dominating and imposing presence could only influence the people under his dragon soul protection. This young lady had been under the Dark Dragon soul protection for years, so how was it possible that she could turn around and seek protection from him devotedly? If the Void Dragon soul protection was this powerful, Rhode might as well recruit all the elites from other organizations and everything would be settled easily, wasn’t it?
But… It was impossible that Rhode couldn’t handle her.
“How’s it, Leader? Do you like this present? I personally feel that she looks decent and although the other women around you are better… She’s still not that bad, right?”
Could it be that this human is as powerful as the Dark Dragon?
“I…”
Angelina was speechless. Her instincts told her to not respond; if not, she would face unpredictable consequences. However, her fears overcame the warnings and she couldn’t even utter the word ‘no’.
“I… I’m willing!”
Good.
The corners of Rhode’s lips curled into a smile while Canary and Mini Bubble Gum also gazed at Angelina with meaningful smiles as though they had their way. They already knew what Rhode was going to do with her.
The instant Angelina responded, a dazzling magical radiance burst from the ground and formed an enormous and gorgeous ritual that enveloped Rhode and her. Then, she sensed a part of her spirit being forcefully abstracted and the tremendous pain almost struck her into a coma. However, with the years of training, she gnashed her teeth and tolerated the violent pain only to feel her entire spirit devoured by the human before her as a ball of magical radiance emerged between them and transformed into a card.
What is… this?
Angelina gazed blankly at the card. As a vampire, she was naturally familiar with the spiritual contract. Although she didn’t know exactly what that man had done, she knew that her spirit had been entirely devoured by him, which meant that she would live and die with him. Not only that, but the man also completely grasped control over her spirit, this meant that no secrets were kept from him!
[Received contract card]
[Angelina Babylonia (Sigh of the dead. 2nd Position. Undead attribute) Offense 13 Defense 13: Vampire. Unfuseable. Blood curse spell. Magic attack. Dark attribute. Possessed technique———Blood Rune (Memories of the pure, blood king’s sigh and pursuit of the vague whispers)

??? (Locked)]
Great. This contract is a success.
Rhode nodded in satisfaction at the hovering card. In fact, he released the Spirit Swordsman’s unique technique [Spirit Language] as he spoke earlier on. [Spirit Language] was only effective on the dead and was also why he could get Marlene to sign the contract with him after she ‘died’… Rightfully speaking, vampires were only moving corpses. Although Angelina possessed her own spirit, everything that was classified as ‘dead’ in the system could be [awakened]. Angelina clearly wasn’t aware of this, which explained what happened. Moreover, after Rhode became the dragon soul heir, there was no failure rate for the [Spirit Language].
Although this wasn’t a perfect contract card and was only meant to build a master-servant relationship, this was more than enough for him. Even though there were only Orchid Heart, Gillian, and Marlene currently leading in the ten strongest spirit decks, he had no intention of giving a leader position for a newcomer like Angelina. Although this meant that he couldn’t summon her everywhere he wanted, based on the current situation he just needed something that could put her in his grasp. He had other ideas to make use of her.
“I guess you’re aware of your situation now.”
Rhode put the card away and said. Angelina nodded in dismay. In fact, she had thought it through because she couldn’t oppose even if she wanted to. But she couldn’t understand why this man was so powerful. She lifted her head curiously and scanned the man before her. Rhode twitched his brows upon sensing her gaze.
“By the way, I haven’t introduced myself… I’m Rhode Alander. I’m the overlord of the Void Territory and also the Void Dragon heir.”
Angelina’s pale expression turned ashen instantly.
He’s the Void Dragon?
