The men take off their masks except for Albert as he cannot breathe without his medical mask. When they took off their mask sweat was dripping from every inch of their face because of the heat, but also because of their anxiousness. They felt relieved. It felt as though they had just lifted off a dumbbell of their faces.
Slowly they walked towards the Dorza monster trembling slightly. What felt like a second which was actually 2 minutes, they were finally next to it. All the boys flew together towards the monster. They all prayed that their wish would be granted and hoped that no lives would be lost during this.
Edward and Lucifer chanted the spell while James and Albert were chanting their wish.
After 20 seconds they lost consciousness. Their bodies started rising and stopped in mid-air. A white semi-transparent orb was formed around them. That orb was signal to everyone that the spell had started taking action.
Anastasia quickly took off her mask and activated her soul form. Soul form was where one's physical body is invisible, yet their soul is still present. It takes an immense amount of skill to perform this.
The young girl— more like the young soul, flew to the boys. To enter their bodies she had to split her soul. Anastasia has split her soul many times back in the days, but never in 4. She told herself that nothing was going to happen and split her soul.
It felt a bit weird controlling 4 bodies at once. Anastasia was standing on nothing. Everything was pitch black. But after looking around she saw a small light in the distance and approached it. A young boy was standing there naked. The boy looked like an average high schooler. Black hair and a small body. It was the spell in a human's form. He was probably in that form since it was easier to move around. Every spell has a soul despite not being a physical creature.
While Anastasia was looking at him he turned around.
"Who are you? You do not give off the feeling of a human. I've never felt such a strong aura," said the boy.
"My, my you sure are direct. Who I am is not of importance. Now, I am in a hurry and my one demand is that you grant the adventurers wish," said Anastasia in a serious and terrifying tone.
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
The spell felt her extremely dark aura, a small hint of murderous intent was in there too. He was a bit scared. Even so, he decided to reply back.
"Even if I were to exit their body their destinies were decided when they cast the spell. There is no other way even you kill me, unless..."
"Unless what?"
"A contract. If you're that desperate."
The young doll was a bit hesitant. She had made contracts before but for very fragile situations. A thing such as "helping" some random humans was ridiculous, yet for some reason, she felt the need to save them.
A contract was where 2 people exchange something of the same value. A bit like a trade but far more dangerous than a trade. Physical objects were prohibited and the trade must be of the same value. There were many other rules like how conning was not allowed or tricking someone into a contract was also forbidden.
"If you are willing to do a contract then exchange for their desire to be granted I will have control 1/6 of your mind," said the young boy.
Having control over Anastasia's mind was a big risk. It would mean that she would have a split personality. For many people, they would be terrified of not having control of their mind just for a minute, yet for Anastasia it was amusing.
Besides, it's only 1/6 of my mind, he can probably only take control of my mind once or twice a week for 10 minutes or so.
"I accept," said Anastasia without a thought of regret.
"That was fast. Now then let us form the contract," said the spell.
To form a contract a drop of blood from both of the contractors was needed. Once both of the drops of blood are combined they must simultaneously say "I shall not break this bond. I am fully aware of the contract I am making." They also had to think about what they were going to exchange before combining they're blood.
And so Anastasia and the young boy did the same and whispered the same words.
After finishing all that a small cut was placed on her back indicating that she has formed a contract. But next to that cut were many other slits.
The young boy and Anastasia waved goodbye and the young doll returned to normal. She immediately put her mask on and looked at the boys.
They had woken up and the spell did its job. The boys punched the beast together. The Dorza monster was defeated in merely 10 seconds, it was a completely one-sided match. The spell left their bodies as soon as they defeated the monster making them fall to the ground, luckily they weren't too high up.
Everyone cheered including the injured adventurers being healed on the hill where the citizens were. It was a happy ending for everyone.
In 30 minutes all the citizens were transported back to the capital by the 5 adventurers that Anastasia was with earlier and the barrier protecting the upper-class was taken down.
The boys were incredibly happy even though they just fell on the grass. Anastasia flew to them and congratulated them. It was a joyful fight for everyone.
