Chapter 98: The Unexpected Turn

Last Light and the Sea Punishers met ashore and were ready for battle. Gisle stared intently at Dylan. He knew that even in this situation, this man could give them trouble and kill several people.

"Wain, I'm going to have to ask you to take an active part in this battle. I hope you don't mind?" Asked Gisle stepping forward.

"Sure, I'm going to have a lot of fun. An azure sea, a bright blue moon, and a beach white as pearls, a more beautiful arena for battle would be hard to find." Proclaimed Wain and went forward with Gisle.

Dylan and Elsa did the same. In this fight, the strong would fight the strong, and the weak would fight the weak. At least, that's how this battle would begin.

"Dylan, you are too stubborn. You could have joined us like so many other organizations. Do you really want your loyal comrades to die for your silly ideals?" Asked Gisle. 

He knew that most likely his words would have no effect, but he had to try, one last time.

"We've discussed this before. You absorb and infect everything with your influence like some kind of disease. Your path leads only to self-destruction." Righteously pronounced Dylan. 

"Yes, but your path has already led to death. It seems to me that I have acted more properly."

"It's clear to everyone why we're here. I see you've made a new friend." Dylan said coldly.

"Yes, if you don't want to obey, then you're dead. Enough talk." Calmly Gisle said and prepared for battle.

Gisle's and Dylan's gazes crossed as well as Elsa's and Wain's. But when Elsa saw Wain's deep as the abyss gaze, her body trembled. She could not believe that Gisle had such a strong ally.

Tremble.

Outwardly it looked as if the four demons met each other. Then each of them released their aura. Gisle's aura eventually transformed into a silhouette that looked like a samurai. It was an imprint of his soul and essence.

Above Dylan was a silhouette that looked like a righteous warrior with a massive sword in his hand and wearing bulky armor.

Wain's aura was formless. It was like black flames emanating from an abyss or purgatory. Everyone who looked at Wain shuddered with fear. His aura was overwhelming and terrifying. None of them could come close to that level.

'Hmm, what's wrong with this girl's aura? It's quite strange...' Wain pondered, looking at Elsa.

Unlike them, she didn't emit her aura. At least it seemed so from the outside. The reason was the specific of her soul.

After a couple of seconds, Wain could barely make out a silhouette above her that looked like a ghostly assassin.

'She has an interesting soul.' Thought Wain, and a plasma sword appeared in his hand the next moment.

"Let's begin," Gisle said calmly and drew his katana from its sheath.

He was ready to attack first, but suddenly Elsa disappeared and appeared behind Dylan. Then Dylan's chest was pierced with something, like an invisible blade, and trickles of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Dylan looked at Elsa in shock and said with hatred, "You bitch! Traitor..."

Crackle.

Elsa twisted the invisible blade turning Dylan's heart into a bloody mess. After such an attack, not even an evolved human whose defensive skills were equal to Grut's could survive.

Dylan's fierce gaze went down, and his blood flooded the snow-white sand. Everyone was shocked, but many realized at once what had happened.

"It seems that even among Dylan's subordinates, there were traitors, and that was crucial. This life is really unpredictable." Gisle muttered.

Deep down, he felt sorry for Dylan. Though he was at a disadvantage, the man stood up for his ideals to the very end. Dylan believed that the people should not unite again in armies of millions, but his goals did not coincide with Gisle's plans.

Elsa calmed her aura and stepped forward, she wanted to say something, but suddenly Wain appeared in front of her and grabbed her by the neck with force. He adjusted his strength, so Elsa could still breathe, but if Wain applied a little more force, he would break her neck.

"You shouldn't open your filthy mouth. Everyone already knows what happened here. You betrayed Dylan, and you want to join us. It may be a wise decision, but where's the guarantee that you won't betray us?" Wain said coldly, looking at Elsa like garbage.

Gisle was of the same opinion as he was. It would be one thing if they had signed a peace treaty or if Dylan had died in a fair fight and some of his men had joined Last Light, but it was quite another when a traitor wanted to do the same.

"In... my bag..." Elsa said with difficulty, pointing to the bag on her belt.

Wain opened the leather bag, and to his surprise, there was a white scroll, more like a treaty.

It was an item received from the Spiritual Box, and this scroll was unusual. Wain immediately looked at the description of the item.

[Treaty of Subjugation (Primary Chronicle, Epic Rating)

You are reading story Nameless King at novel35.com

This scroll is designed to create an unbreakable bond between two beings. One member of the contract will be a slave and must say the corresponding oath, the other will be the lord, and only he can break the contract if he wishes.

Once used, the scroll burns]

Wain nodded and threw Elsa toward Gisle in one motion. She fell at his feet and greedily gulped for air, trying to catch her breath.

"Looks like someone decided to trade freedom for an opportunity to live." Said Wain and tossed the scroll to Gisle.

Gisle read the description of the scroll and looked at Elsa in surprise.

"When did you decide to betray Dylan and submit to us?" Gisle asked.

Elsa barely answered, "After I saw that man's aura." She pointed to Wain. 

At that moment, Elsa realized that they had no chance of winning. Moreover, even long before that, she had thought about betraying Dylan. 

Elsa understood that the Sea Punishers couldn't defeat Last Light. She wanted to survive. She didn't care about Dylan's ideals.

"Understandably, Wain is indeed frighteningly strong. But, are you really the kind of person who is willing to put your freedom in the hands of another so easily?"

Elsa grinned and said with bitterness in her voice, "What else could I do? If we fought, that monster would kill us all. If I tried to run away, the same thing would happen. Unlike Dylan, I want to live and be on the side of the strong."

Gisle sighed. He understood that Elsa's words made sense. She had coincidentally become a member of the Sea Punishers, but that didn't mean she was willing to die for her organization.

"Gisle, are you going to use that scroll?" Wain asked.

"Most likely yes," Gisle said calmly, looking at Elsa.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't it be better to just kill her?"

"No!" Suddenly, Elsa shouted. "Please don't make a mistake! You've read the description of the scroll. I will obey you, practically a willing slave! There's no way I'll be able to subdue you!"

Elsa was terrified that Wain would decide to convince her. She understood that such a strong person was almost impossible to stop.

"Wain, she is right. Moreover, I see no reason to give up such a useful ally, no, puppet. Elsa, you must realize that if not for this scroll, your body would already be at the bottom of the sea." Said Gisle and used the scroll.

The next moment a golden magic circle appeared around him and Elsa. A yellow seal appeared on Gisle's forehead, and the same seal appeared on Elsa's chest, where her heart was. 

Then Elsa swore an oath, and Gisle accepted it, then the scroll burned, and a golden thread appeared between them, signifying their unbreakable bond.

Gisle looked at Elsa and said, "Stand on one foot."

There was strength and confidence in his voice, and at the same moment, the seal on his forehead shone brightly again. Elsa instantly did what Gisle said, she could not resist, even if she tried very hard.

"Jump up."

Elsa obediently jumped up.

Gisle nodded and decided to give another order to test how this scroll worked. He had to be sure of Elsa's complete obedience.

"Kill yourself." His words shocked everyone. No one thought Gisle would suddenly give such an order.

Elsa's face contorted with horror, but suddenly an almost invisible blade appeared in her hands, and the blade slowly approached her neck. Elsa's hands trembled, and she tried to resist with all her might, but it was impossible.

"Stop," Gisle said calmly.

He decided to give such an order to test how this scroll worked. He had to be sure of Elsa's complete submission.

"Huh, I thought you were determined to convince her. Even I would be surprised at your cruelty." Smiling Wain said.

Gisle shook his head, "That would be stupid and ineffective. I was just testing what the scroll can do. It's impressive."

"Now, do you believe me?" Asked Elsa.

"Yes, there is logic in what you say, and I understand you. But, you dared to betray Dylan, which means you can betray again. You must always have a leash on you so that you dare not act against us." Calmly Gisle said.

He hadn't expected the battle against the Sea Punishers to end this way, but in fact, it was the best possible outcome.. Gisle valued his men, and he would be pleased that none of them had to die today.
