Chapter 455: That Would Depend On Your Acting Skills
The Stone of Destruction knew that Klein had the lifeblood of someone who had advanced to tier 9.
Hence, it chose to cooperate.
However, the method of cooperation made it difficult.
“Are you really going to face the mysterious person alone?”
The Stone of Destruction stared fixedly at Klein, wanting to know what he was thinking.
The mysterious person was tier 9! And he was a powerful sorcerer.
Even if he wasn’t, there was no guarantee it could kill him, not to mention this lesser human in front of it.
“Of course, if you sneak up behind me, I’ll be very grateful.”
Klein laughed.
“Sneak attack?”
The Stone of Destruction frowned.
That was impossible.
Unless Klein could absolutely crush the mysterious person…
Otherwise, it would never attack the mysterious person.
That was because, although it would make the other party very unhappy, there was a reason for that.
After all, when it was dealing with Klein, weren’t you also fishing?
Now, it’s your turn. It’s not too much for it to hide and recover its magic, right?
But if it were to attack?
Then the nature of the situation would completely change.
Once it was revealed, it would attract the attention of that person. Even if it were to reach tier 9, its end would still be very miserable.
Of course, the most important thing was that the Stone of Destruction had no way of keeping the mysterious person.
But now, none of this was a problem.
Why?
Because empty promises were very useful.
Therefore, the Stone of Destruction was delighted as it came up with an idea and hurriedly said, “No… No way. The mysterious person is too powerful. I can’t beat him.”
“Heh, no matter how powerful he is, he’s just a mage. With your strength, killing a puny mage shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Klein said calmly. How could he not know what the fellow was thinking?
Conspiracy, after all, was a human thing.
“That won’t do either, the other party’s background is too deep. Once the people behind me know, I’m afraid I will die without a burial place,” said the Stone of Destruction, shaking its head.
“If they don’t know, isn’t it over?”
Klein remained unmoved.
“That doesn’t work either. The mysterious man has the ability to travel through catacombs. I don’t have any confidence in keeping him. If he gets away, we’re all screwed!”
The Stone of Destruction still shook its head.
“Is that so?”
Klein revealed a regretful expression.
“Sigh, forget it then. You can just watch the battle. I originally planned on giving you a portion of tier 9 energy, but from the looks of it, you don’t want it at all!”
With this in mind, Klein sighed.
“What?”
Upon hearing Klein’s words, the Stone of Destruction was tempted.
It was tier 9 energy. With its accumulated energy, it wouldn’t take long for it to reach tier 9.
This was a great temptation for it.
Why did it come to this bitterly cold place?
Wasn’t it trying to advance to tier 9?
But this was difficult!
Even the deal with the person behind the mysterious person wasn’t something that could be easily completed.
Thinking about how he still needed to stay here for hundreds of years to complete the mission, all of this instantly lost its fragrance when compared to the tier 9 energy in front of it!
“Is what you said true?” the Stone of Destruction asked again.
“Of course, a gentleman’s word!” Klein said with a straight face. “It’s just a pity that you don’t seem to have the guts.”
Upon hearing Klein’s words, the Stone of Destruction swallowed its saliva.
Then, it asked tentatively, “How much do you plan to give me?”
“Yes, enough for you to advance to tier 9,” Klein said.
“Tier 9?”
At that moment, the Stone of Destruction couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Its face immediately turned red as it couldn’t help but think of the scene of reaching tier 9!
‘If I reach tier 9, do I still need to be here?’
‘If I reach tier 9, does this human in front of me pose any threat?’
‘If I reach tier 9, even if the person behind the mysterious person wants to kill me, he would have to think twice, right?’
‘Most importantly, after reaching tier 9, I would be able to obtain even more powerful spells. At that time, even if the other party came to settle the score, I would still be able to retaliate!’
Thinking of this, Stone of Destruction’s expression hardened, and it immediately made a decision.
Money can move a person’s heart. You can’t move it?
Then it must be because you didn’t give enough.
The Stone of Destruction said, “Alright, I promise you. But I have to get the energy first.”
“I’m afraid that won’t do. Can’t you see that my current state is very wrong?” Klein asked back.
“Your state is wrong?”
The Stone of Destruction frowned.
It looked over.
It thought to itself, ‘Indeed, this kid’s condition isn’t right.’
‘Although he can’t die, he doesn’t seem to be able to take the initiative to control the golden energy.’
‘Since he can’t take the initiative to control it, it’s naturally very difficult to quickly strip it away!’
‘This is difficult to do!’
With this thought in mind, the Stone of Destruction said, “No, this isn’t safe for me. What if you don’t admit to it later?”
Pfft–
Klein laughed after hearing that.
“What are you laughing at?” the Stone of Destruction said with a straight face.
“I’m laughing at your stupidity. Even now, you still can’t see the situation clearly,” Klein said mockingly.
“My stupidity?”
“Of course!”
“Why!?”
“Why? You already said that the mysterious man is at tier 9. With such powerful strength, as the main attacker, can I take him down without any injuries? Even if I do, I’ll definitely be severely injured in the end. When that happens, are you afraid that you won’t be able to get what you want?”
Klein said, “And by then, I’m afraid that you’ll turn against me!”
Upon hearing Klein’s words, the Stone of Destruction’s eyes lit up.
Indeed!
If that was the case, then the initiative would be in its hands.
Wouldn’t it be up to it to decide whether it wanted to kill the other party or complete the transaction?
Furthermore, with its strength, it wouldn’t be very difficult to kill the human in front of it. It was just that it didn’t want to expend too much energy.
With this in mind, the Stone of Destruction nodded secretly.
But in the blink of an eye, it said, “Don’t worry. My Stone of Destruction race is very particular about honesty. Don’t worry, I swear in the name of my ancestors that I will never attack you. If you’re worried, we can make a contract.”
Contract?
Klein couldn’t help but laugh.
Making a contract with a demon beast was the stupidest thing in this catacombs world.
Even if they had to sign a contract, it would be a pet contract. This was the safest way.
However, the Stone of Destruction was not stupid. Naturally, it would not.
Of course, he would not fall for it. This contract was like a piece of f*cking waste paper. It was an eyesore.
To expect a demon beast to abide by the contract was even more difficult than killing it.
Moreover, it was impossible to sign the contract now.
Once the two of them showed a cooperative attitude, the mysterious person hiding in the dark would definitely be alerted. At that time, the so-called contract would have no value at all!
However, he had no intention of letting the Stone of Destruction help him.
As long as it didn’t come out to cause trouble, it would be fine.
As for the ancestors?
Even humans didn’t believe in such a thing, much less demons.
This thing was just a gimmick!
And after the fight?
Then, it would have to ask if his Endless Sword would agree.
With this in mind, Klein revealed a smile.
“There’s no need for a contract. I believe in you. You are a very powerful existence. Naturally, you won’t go against the contract. In that case, we have already made a verbal alliance. All we need to do is wait for the mysterious person to come out!”
