Free Web NovelChapter 601: Chapter 600: Unbreakable Contract_1
Several days later, in the apartment rented by Aiden.
Three guests sat around a round table with Aiden.
"I swear, if Abigail hands over the Hand of Annihilation to me, unless my life or spirit faces destruction, I will do my utmost to assist Abigail in seizing the Authority of Life," Qiqimora solemnly swore.
"I swear, if Tony Dodge hands over the Hand of Annihilation to me, I will heal Tony Dodge’s body to his satisfaction. If Qiqimora keeps his oath, I will then hand over the Hand of Annihilation to Qiqimora," Abigail followed, appearing today in the form of Alice.
"I, I swear..." Tony was somewhat nervous, "If Lady Abigail can heal my body, I will definitely hand the Hand of Annihilation over to her as a token of gratitude."
"The chain of exchange is complete, I declare the ’Unbreakable Contract’ established. I repeat, any act of voluntarily breaking the contract will be met with endless corporal punishment," Aiden announced in the tone of a presiding officer.
All three felt an invisible force, like a rope around their necks, exerting no pressure, yet asserting its presence, as if it could tighten at any moment.
Saint-level "Laws" of power, once agreed upon by two or more parties, can impose contractual constraints on those involved. Once a contract is made, it is not limited by distance or time. To break a contract without punishment, one must kill the saint who formulated the contract or have a higher power intervene.
With Aiden’s power as the medium, the deal previously discussed by the three was finally entering the execution phase.
With the contract fulfilled, Abigail would heal Tony’s body, and Tony would then hand over the Hand of Annihilation. Thereafter, Abigail would pass the Hand of Annihilation to Qiqimora, who would become Abigail’s aid in seizing the Authority of Life.
"Are you ready, young man?" Abigail looked at Tony, "I remember you have decided to keep your original body, haven’t you?"
"Please, it’s all yours to trouble," Tony’s face tensed further, "Um... madam, although it’s a bit late to ask now, your treatment plan should be safe, right?"
"The current success rate is one hundred percent," Abigail stated calmly.
Tony breathed a sigh of relief.
"Indeed, one hundred percent. She’s only ever conducted a complete experiment once, and that was on herself," Qiqimora chimed in.
Tony’s nerves tensed up immediately.
"Stop scaring him, if it wasn’t safe why would Abigail use it on herself?" Aiden said.
Tony found this reasoning sound and relaxed again.
"To be honest, at that time I actually did not have much confidence either, I just went ahead with it on a whim," Abigail suddenly admitted.
Tony’s expression soured: "I think... may I take some more time to consider it?"
"No!!" Abigail and Qiqimora exclaimed in unison.
Abigail stood up and began to recite the divine words to Tony, who was sitting in the chair.
Aiden watched as Abigail wielded the power to manipulate life and infused this force into Tony’s body.
Tony’s body suddenly swelled up rapidly, and unnatural movements appeared on the surface of his skin. Then, his eyes bulged as if he was about to vomit and he gathered all his strength.
A crack started from his forehead and spread downwards.
Like a snake shedding its skin, Tony with the demon’s body was squeezed out of this body through the crack.
This body was a replica made by Abigail earlier using the "Egg of Hatching," and now Tony’s real body was restoring to normal, forcing the parasitism to end. The clothes on Tony’s body couldn’t bear the volume of two bodies and were stretched to the point of tearing.
Tony’s real body, skinny to the point of skin and bones, filled out like an inflated balloon, the pitch-black membranous skin turned into normal, blood-colored human skin. The bone protrusions on his back retracted one by one, and his tail detached from the body as automatically as a gecko’s tail would, severing itself.
Soon he recovered his normal physique amidst astonishment, still frail and slightly sickly but at least within the range of a normal person now.
Aiden began to recite the divine words of "Return," and the clothes that had been torn apart by Tony instantly returned to their complete state, fitting perfectly on Tony’s restored body. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
"Qiqimora, help with the clean-up," Aiden looked towards Qiqimora.
Understanding the request, Qiqimora began to recite the divine words of "Annihilation" towards the discarded broken body of Tony and directly erased it, with the two working together to finish the cleanup in a matter of seconds.
"How do you feel?" Abigail asked. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
"My body..." Tony took a deep breath, then revealed a slightly surprised look, turned around on the spot, and hopped twice, "I’ve never felt this light! This is a normal, healthy body; it’s amazing!"
"It’s a healthy body, yes, but whether it’s normal is up for debate," Abigail corrected him.
"Huh?" Tony was stunned.
"Because I only enhanced your physical body, transforming it to a normal level, the part of you that is a parasitic demon cannot be manipulated with the authority of ’life’; it must be retained there," Abigail explained. "I told you, choosing this option, you would still retain the abilities of a demon."
"Does that mean I can still parasitize other organisms?" Tony blinked.
"A full-body parasitism is not going to be possible anymore, as your current physical body has suppressed the demon part. But theoretically, you should be able to manipulate your own body like a wizard who controls parasitic demons, sealing wounds, splitting and reattaching limbs should all be possible. Your regenerative abilities will also be greatly enhanced," Abigail thought for a moment, then added another. "Perhaps you could split part of your body off and parasitize it into other living beings, like... a finger since you can now split your body."
"What’s the point of doing that?" Although what Abigail said was quite bizarre, Tony did not show any disgust, after all, he had spend nearly ten years with a demonic body that could only survive by parasitizing others.
"Part of your body should still possess some of the traits of a possessing demon, capable of transforming other people’s bodies, killing them, or healing their bodies... It’s a technique that can be used to kill or to save. Of course, since the limbs have no consciousness, taking over someone else’s body is not possible," Abigail analyzed, "The specifics, you will have to experiment on your own."
"Let’s talk about these things later," Qiqimora couldn’t hold back and interjected, "First, hand over the Hand of Annihilation."
