"Don't lie to me, Human!" Jet the Abyss Raven let out an angry roar that echoed in the underground space, "You are not even Epic Rank, and you dare to boast in front of me!"
When Jet revealed that Tang Shaoyang was not even an Epic Rank, Aki and Lauri were shocked. They could not believe what they heard. First of all, it was about Aura. A human could only control an aura when they reach Epic Second. The second, the bloodline transformation. Only an Epic Rank that could have a bloodline yet this man had one, a Dragon bloodline on top of that.
The more Aki knew about Tang Shaoyang, the more confused he was. It was as if when you cracked one mystery about him, more mysteries would resurface. There was no end to it.
"Oh, how do you know that? Those two can't tell that I am not even an Epic Rank," Tang Shaoyang pointed at Aki and Lauri behind him. He was indeed curious how this Abyss Raven found out about that.
The Abyss Raven pointed his eyes with the feather on his wing, "These eyes, I can see how strong you are with these eyes. The mana capacity in your body is below… Wait, what is that?" Jet found something unusual within Tang Shaoyang. Besides mana, it saw something else that layered along with the mana. It was dreadful red in color, that was what its eyes perceived from looking at Tang Shaoyang thoroughly.
Tang Shaoyang did not know what it saw from him. He waited for the Abys Raven to speak more. The Abyss Raven fell silent and stepped closer to Tang Shaoyang. Jet examined Tang Shaoyang closely and curiously. It was something it never encountered before.
"What is that? It's red, fierce, and dreadful," The Abyss Raven muttered as it tilted its head to the side, "It's similar to Mana, it's energy but it's also different than mana… Wait, there's something else but it's too vague and too faint to detect…" Jet backed away and shook its head, "You are weird," It remarked.
"How could it be possible that one individual has more than one energy… Wait, that bastard also has more than one, but it has only two energy while you have three... Wait, but you are just a mere human. You are not supposed to have more than one energy…" The Abyss Raven shook its head, "I don't know anymore, you are weird."
"Alright, that's not an issue here, so what's your decision? Do you want to be my contracted spirit?" Tang Shaoyang shook his head. He finally understood where the childish side came from because this Abyss Raven was still a kid. The antic and the childish voice that mixed with the deepened voice, Tang Shaoyang easily found that out.
"What if I don't want to be your contracted spirit?" Jet the Abyss Raven asked.
"Easy, you can back to the void space if you defeat me, or I will beat you in a fight then I will force the contract upon you? Or do you want to establish the contract voluntarily?" Tang Shaoyang waited patiently for the Abyss Raven to make a decision.
There was a difference why he did not use force as he did on Aki and Lauri because Jet was a spirit. The spirit would stay with him for a long time, he would prioritize to bond with the spirit so once he revived them, they would stay with him.
"As for your vengeance, we can have a solution for that. You can wait until I get a skill that can resurrect the spirit. I can do that for you and you can do your job by yourself. Of course, if you need my help, I will gladly help you as well," Tang Shaoyang smiled at the Abyss Raven.
"I don't want to return to that void space, and I am sure I can't beat you either. I am still too young and I haven't awakened my Shadow Elemental Power completely. I have no choice but to establish a contract with you. Your offer is too tempting to be refused," The Abyss Raven nodded, "Let's form a contract then,"
When it said that, the magical circle glowed on its forehead. Tang Shaoyang placed his hand on the magical circle.
[You have established a contract with Grade B+ Spirit, Jet the Abyss Raven!]
The Abyss Raven't figure blurred into black particles and entered his forehead. As soon as the black particles disappeared into his head, he heard a loud and excited voice from Jet, "Wow, this place is much better than that void space."
Tang Shaoyang shook his head. He was right, from the bird's behavior it was still a kid. He turned around and met with Ashley, Lauri, and Aki. The three were waiting for him to speak, to explain what happened. However, he merely shrugged and walked toward them, "We no longer have business here, let's go back,"
Aki wanted to ask but he decided to stay silent after what happened between him and his Lord. Lauri felt that there was no need to ask, if his Lord wanted to tell them, he would tell them. Ashley had the same thought as Lauri, if he did not want to explain, then there was no need to ask. As for the Dark Predator, it climbed up to his shoulder and yawned. After eating to the full, it was going to take a nap.
On the way back to the Pallarmus Tribe, Tang Shaoyang asked Jet the Abyss Raven about the bastard he was talking about, 'So can you tell me about the bastard you want to kill, Jet?'
—I think we can forget about that guy. Even if you resurrect me, we stand no chance against him. As I said, he might reach Demi-God Rank. Even if I evolved, we can't win against him.
He was surprised to hear the pessimist reply from Jet, 'But that only made me more curious about this guy. Can you tell me? I don't think we will lose against him if we work together. You are not alone,'
—The bastard I am talking about is Kirin the Guardian Beast of the Gigante Forest!
