Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse

Chapter 172 - Unknown Consequences

Barbatos was known as the Necromancer of Chaos, but that wasn’t all there was to her. Noah looked through the memories of the Undead Skeleton Warrior as he watched the habits that Barbatos kept for years.

When she was angry, playful, or even hopeful, she only had her undead to talk to. She expressed to their lifeless company her inner thoughts, and Noah was going through them right now as he began getting a better understanding of Barbatos. He was certain of one thing as he watched her crazy life, and that was her hatred towards the one person that she could not defy.

He was confident in using this against her, and possibly getting out of this predicament with many more victories than just a few Mythical skills. The period of silence was broken as a light laugh escaped Barbatos’s lips.

"You’ve been saying a great deal of many things, Atlantean. Do you truly know the power Baal wields for you to speak such words?"

The Blue Dragon encasing Noah began disappearing as he deactivated the skills, his Atlantean body with a slight gold sheen appearing magnificently in the dark waters again as he stared at Barbatos calmly. He would act instantly if he saw any changes to defend himself, but he could already see the finish line.

"Naturally. I know the Unique and Ultimate Skills he holds as well as how to counter them. If I add you to the mix, my mission will become even easier. I have many more secrets I can share with you if you want to come to an agreement first."

An impassive look remained on the cold face of Barbatos as she pondering looked toward this Atlantean. The next words he voiced out sealed the nail of her now indecisive mindset.

"Oh, and if you’re worried about the fact that if you kill him he would just be revived by the Will of the Demon World in a few months, you can comfortably leave that to me. I have many tools that would make it so he never has the chance to revive."

The eyes of the Demon Empress widened at these words as a sense of apprehension and caution grew. The being in front of her knew too much information to be a nobody, and even the biggest secrets that pertained to the powers of Rulers of the Demon World were known to him. His words that she looked at unbelievably before were gaining a sense of credibility in her mind.

She thought about the command from Baal that she couldn’t defy to come to the Lost World and help him on this search for a treasure he would pocket himself. She thought of her dream of freedom as she created her World of the Dead that was always cut short because commands like these as she took a leap of faith.

"Alright, little fish. How do you want to start?"

A brilliant smile spread across Noah’s face as he tried to keep his emotions down and replied.

"I know a lot about you, and I know you still don’t fully trust me. So how about you use Abyss Magic to bind us both to a contract for the duration of our cooperation?"

"Hoo. Little fish, you really do know too much."

Barbatos’s body began shining red as a golden page and a blood-red pen appeared in the water. Her powerful essence entered the pen as it moved on the surface of the page and carved out a few words. The process finished fairly quickly as the page and pen flew toward Noah’s position.

He looked at the page that Barbatos wrote on and became surprised at the demands she listed on the contract that was created using Abyss Magic. This was one of the abilities that Rulers ranked 10 and below could use, a contract ritual that bound two beings. The two parties would choose their terms and restrictions before the contract could be established.

There was only one condition and restriction that Barbatos wrote of the golden page.

[The little fish will erase Baal’s life in two months.]

[If the condition isn’t met, he forfeits his life.]

The condition was fine, but the restriction was not. Noah’s face became cloudly as he used his essence to push the golden page and pen back.

"The restriction involving my life is too big. I won’t ask for your life, you do not ask for mine."

A cold aura spread out as it looked like Barbatos would soon explode with power yet again, but Noah remained firm. She looked at him coldly while putting more essence into the pen and rewriting the restriction. The golden page came back as Noah read it once more.

[The little fish will erase Baal’s life in two months.]

[If the condition isn’t met, he will lose his manhood and never again be able to copulate.]

The restriction wasn’t as extreme as the first one, but it was terrifying to think about. Noah nodded his head as he put his own mana into the pen and wrote his own conditions and restrictions.

[Barbatos will aid Noah Osmont the two months before Baal’s True Death. Barbatos will not lay claim to or destroy Noah Osmont’s belongings.]

[If the condition isn’t met, she will release the souls of all the undead she has collected.]

Her face scrunched up as she red the restriction and looked dangerously at Noah, but she folded the golden page nonetheless and then performed the final portion of the Abyss Magic to finalize the contract. A golden light shone out as the folded page broke into two pieces, one staying with Barbatos and the other going towards Noah.

He caught the half-page in his hands as he brought it close to his mouth and observed Barbatos doing the same. The both of them then swallowed the pages as a red light covered both of their bodies briefly, and the contract was complete.

"Wow, I really didn’t think you would do it. This means you aren’t actually full of shit and can actually take down that monster? "

Noah let out a breath of relief as soon as the contract was finished, finally coming to the conclusion that his life was not in any more danger. For the duration of this contract, until he achieved his original goal of taking down Baal as he already planned, he would also have the peak Phantasmal ranked Barbatos to help him.

This was one of the traits of demons that he loathed, the fact that they would betray their own people the moment it was to their benefit and granted them what they wanted. He calmly looked at the figure of Barbatos that neared him and floated just a few inches away, her abyssal eyes looking at every part of his body.

"Alright, I don’t give a shit if you really are a member of the Celestials or not, or how you know so much information. Now that you’ve signed that contract, either Baal dies, or you lose your d.i.c.k. If Baal doesn’t die, you’ll still lose your d.i.c.k, but I’ll just kill you right after as well. If everything goes wrong then he will just kill me for my betrayal once or twice before he believes I’m reigned in again, so I won’t really lose much, ya know?"

Her voice had become playful again as the cold and disastrous power she let out had all but disappeared. The blinking green lights of hundreds of thousands of undead were still surrounding all the miles of the sea around them as two completely opposite beings entered into a contract that would have colossal consequences across worlds.

Noah looked at this dangerous individual that would have caused his death if he hadn’t found a solution as he did, and began planning how to move with her in the picture. How do you best put to use a Phantasmal ranked individual who surrounded herself with the undead as her only company and was a little crazy and messed up in the head?

"Well, little fish, I will aid you up until we put your shitty words to the test in a few weeks. What do you want to do first?"
