Hmm… let's stop testing their limits for now. Otherwise, I might get sealed, beaten up, and burned alive by that b*tch's holy fire.
I sit up and arrange myself to be more comfortable. I sense my power, but I can't use any of it. Other than one drastic asure I've left as a last resort, none of my power will work here. No, I can't even reach it.
"But seriously, Mr. God's Chosen, what do I get if I tell you?" I asked in a less annoying tone.
"God's Chosen? What the hell are you talking about? Are you high or sothing?" The man tilted his head, seeming confused.
"Ohhh ho hoooo, playing dumb, aren't we? Fine, have it your way. So what do I get if I tell you?" I repeated. The man looked at Michaela, who shrugged and shook her head, clearly not wanting him to admit that he's God's Chosen.
The man also shrugged, then searched for sothing in his inner pocket. He pulled out a chromatic stone. Hmph! Do I look like I care about riches? But wait…
Why am I suddenly feeling hungry… too hungry… I haven't felt like this in a long ti. The last ti was when I saw a prized soul from Mammon's vault. They said it was the soul of an elven saint or maybe an Aesir who thought he'd never die but did during Ragnarok.
It ans… whatever that chromatic stone is, it has enough energy to nourish and even make stronger! I… I want it! No… I need it. Sh*t, am I drooling? I'm drooling over this tiny stone!? What the hell is this stone?
It must be so kind of super-precious mana gemstone, or maybe the rumored refined elven soul?
No… it shouldn't be. I sll a lot of elental energy from it—wood, fire, darkness, even holy—but it doesn't repel . I know that if I eat it, it would nourish … and maybe, if I eat enough, I could build up resistance against the holy elent!
This must be the god's Chosen one's heirloom. No! It should be a reward from the god himself to his Chosen one! Hahahahaha! Fool! I'll find a way to take it for myself!
"I want that!" I imdiately pointed at the chromatic gemstone. Am I too obvious? Sh*t… I can't stop drooling. I need to sweeten the deal, but how?
"If you offer that stone, I can tell you how to reach Lucifer. No… I'll do better. I'll even tell you where the Lucifer cult is hiding so you can interrogate them and get more updated information!" I said.
"Do you agree?" I asked. They seed reluctant. The man and Michaela looked at each other, clearly having second thoughts. Let's wait a bit. If they hesitate for more than five minutes or refuse, I'll offer them the entire race of lizard n as well!
"Ok, I agree." The man nodded.
Yes! Hahahahahaha!! Fool! You are foolish enough to part with that gift from god! How stupid can you be!? HAHAHAHAHA!!!
"Let's make a contract! Right now!" I urged him. This is the best deal EVER!
The contract was quickly written on the spot and then handed to to read. I reviewed it several tis and found nothing strange—no tricks either. This is crazy. This god's chosen is so foolish, giving away the gift of God just like that in exchange for worthless information from !
The contract only stated that I need to tell them where and how to find Lucifer and the location of the Lucifer cultists. I must be clear and not distort the information or try to speak in a foreign language he doesn't know, or speak too fast.
There were more clauses like these that filled in the blanks and closed all doors for any demon to exploit. Not that I'd do it in the first place—it's not worth the effort.
Hmm… not bad, god's chosen. All these conditions close every loophole. I'll give you that. It's as if you're a paranoid psycho who needs to check under his bed three tis before sleeping and even sleeps with a weapon that could kill either a ghost or a vampire.
After making sure there were no tricks, I quickly signed the contract and gave it back to the god's chosen. Now, it's my ti to follow the contract.
"Okay, listen, I'll tell you just once. Lucifer usually spends his ti in his hell realm—this is obvious—but from ti to ti, he'll grant his followers so boon in exchange for strong souls or saintly blood. Especially the latter. If it's a saint's soul, that arrogant prick would be even happier, and you could even ask for anything from him.
To reach his hell realm, go to Greece. I rember there is a place closely connected to the underworld. Bring the Witch of Pride there and let her use her blood as a key to enter Lucifer's hell realm.
The Hell Gate is a one-way trip. You need to ask Lucifer to open the Hell Gate from the inside for you to co back. There might be a way to open a Hell Gate from the inside without bothering Lucifer, but I don't know about that thod.
Also, in Ro—or should I say the old city of Ro—I've heard that there's a place where Lucifer's cult is gathered, which should be their HQ. If anyone knows a way to open the Hell Gate from inside Lucifer's hell realm, it should be them." I told the god's chosen all I knew about Lucifer.
"Now! Give that stone!" I urged, unable to restrain myself any longer. I need that Chromatic Stone! As I urged the god's chosen, I sensed a great body of water. Now I feel like I can use my power. Whatever is below this confinent must be a great body of water.
There's a way for to survive!
The god's chosen tossed the Chromatic Stone to like it was worthless! Foolish mortal! I quickly rushed toward the stone, snatched it, and swallowed it.
Ahhhhh! I can feel it! I can feel the power surging into my soul! Hahahahaha!!!
"Hahahahah! Goodbye, sucker!" I imdiately activated my last resort to escape, exploding the last vestige of my power and leaving only my pure soul. No, it should be my soul, still being nourished by that Chromatic Stone.
I fell through the steel floor toward the great body of water below. It's not the ocean but a bayou—a vast expanse of bayou with many crocodiles. I can use this! Hahahaha! Freedom!
