Leon's room was emitting a red light. More precisely, the magic formation he set up to perform Blood Summoning was emitting a red color.
"Akkkkkhhhh!!!!!"
"Help…Help…It hurts…It hurts!!!!"
"Please stop it!!!"
The screams of the originally silent people echoed in Leon's ears. The blood that soaked them began to melt their heads and bodies which were soaked in Leon's red blood.
They wanted to escape from here, destroy this place, beg to be released from this suffering. But they can't.
The sound of screaming and crying was all they could do to reduce the terrible pain of their heads melting and turning into blood clots.
Little by little, slowly like a fire burning them. This painful feeling was like a poison that would hurt the person who drank it but not enough to kill.
Leon fell silent and didn't say anything. He just watched silently at the scene in front of him. It's just that, he felt uneasy because the Mana used for this blood summoning was truly extraordinary.
If not for his above average Mana Capacity and Mana Breathing which continuously replenished his mana, Leon would have died one second after this blood summoning was performed.
"W-why…Are you really human??? Why are you so cruel to your own Race?" The man beside Leon couldn't help but ask.
Even though his eyes were closed and he couldn't see, his ears could still hear the screams of the people who came with him.
"Don't you have any sense of empathy?"
Empathy?
Leon wanted to laugh when he heard this. "You say something like empathy from someone who wouldn't even hesitate to show his child a collection of heads of recently murdered fathers and mothers."
"This is said from the mouth of someone like you?"
"I-I… I already…"
"What? Has changed?" Leon interrupted him while shaking his head. "Even if you have changed, so what? Does the fact that you are silent and rotting in prison make you think about what you did wrong?"
"You know, I got a lot of information about you guys. Especially about the crimes you committed."
"Murder, rape, Mutilation, Massacre, and more. If you really feel you have changed. The day you feel like that, you will destroy all these rings and kill yourself. But seeing that you are still alive, it seems that you have never thought about changing at all." Leon let the book Basics of Blood Summoning float in the air and took out a contract scroll.
"Be happy. Your life will at least be useful to me, maybe this is the fate of the people you have killed that makes your death this painful."
"I…" Before he could say a word, his body turned pale and all the rings on his body shattered instantly. The blood of those who died previously forcibly entered the person's body through his mouth.
There are not many problems in the process. In fact, it could almost be said to be smooth.
"It seems that those who created this technique did not pay the slightest attention to aesthetics in doing it." Leon felt quite strange seeing the blood flowing like a waterfall into the man's body.
The person's body immediately swelled and split in half. Not a single drop of blood spilled from the person's body, instead a shadowy figure with red eyes standing on two legs appeared.
Its body was covered in darkness with no other features such as ears, nose and mouth. His red eyes give a terrible sense of fear and seem to shake the soul of those who see them.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
"Who, dares to call me???" the shadow spoke an unknown language. But Leon could easily understand what he meant.
The shadow looked at the patterns and series of words formed from an unknown language. He looked at the man in a black suit with a book floating around him.
A piece of information immediately appeared in his head regarding the contract offered by Leon.
"Eclipse, Strength is at Tier 2 intermediate stage. Pretty good for a Blood Shadow." Leon saw a shadow in front of him.
When he was about to speak, the System immediately gave a notification.
[A person with the Traits Great Destiny has been detected. Because within the contract period, the System will provide a brief evaluation to the Host.]
[Name: -
Age: ??? (The concept of time is almost impossible to determine because there is no day and night in the dimension where the Blood Shadow Race lives)
Level: Magus tier 2, intermediate stage.
Status: Masterless Blood Shadow, Reincarnator.
Innate talent: great Affinity of shadow, Blood Regeneration, Codex of thousand Mind and consciousness.
Traits: Great Destiny (Destined to bring chaos to this world. This monster is supposed to be summoned 10 years in the future by another reincarnator who is not from this world. The beginning of its massacre will start from the Pendragon kingdom and ultimately die for the Reincarnator.)]
'This is truly unexpected. Not only can I summon an Eclipse, but he is also someone who has Great Destiny.' Leon read the system notification and was a little stunned by one thing.
This person should be summoned ten years in the future. But since he was summoned now, then this meant one thing.
Veil of Destiny. Carving the future in an unknown direction.
'This means that the Veil of Destiny can bypass a person's great destiny. It's just that, it's necessary to see whether Great Destiny can still change or not.'
Who knows how big the influence is, Leon still has to look further.
"Human, what do you want." The shadow asked Leon who had been looking at him without speaking.
"Contract. You already know what I want because it's already in your head." Leon spoke in the language that belonged to Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow was a little surprised but didn't show it. "Hoohhh, a human can use our language. You are really something."
"Not only that, the summoning you performed was specifically targeted at the Eclipses present. It really makes me curious how you do it." The shadow looked at the pattern formed from words he didn't know.
Leon didn't answer him. It is not his obligation to answer the questions of the person in front of him.
"According to the contract I offered. When you answer this call, you must serve me for ten years."
"Human, that only applies if you summon an ordinary Blood Shadow. But the purpose of your summoning from the start was an Eclipse. You know that's not how an Eclipse works, right?" The shadow seemed to smile when he saw Leon.
"You can put it like that. You are a species created specifically as servants of the rulers of the Blood Shadow. "
"An Eclipse without a master is just a sword without a master. We Eclipses are weapons created only for the masters we serve. Human, if you desire the loyalty I have, then prove that you are a ruler worthy of my service." The shadow smiled and entered Leon's body.
"That is enough."
As long as he could complete the form of test given by this shadow, then he could obtain this precious subordinate.
Leon turned around and looked outside the Mansion. He could see that something was heading towards this place. The night sky looks so beautiful today.
It would be a shame if this place were to be destroyed. But hey, that's not my problem. Why should I bother thinking about it.
"Hope you like the gift I sent you." Leon took out a gold pocket watch from the Babel domain and disappeared without leaving the slightest trace.
"This…" Balak sensed something was wrong and immediately appeared at the spot in front of the Mansion gate. The servants and slaves owned by the Betlam family immediately became alert and prepared to fight.
Light that looked like an arrow shot from the air and hit the protective barrier of the Betlam Family. A large explosion was created and destroyed the surroundings, but the barrier was still intact and not even scratched.
"You all split up and protect this place with everything you have." Balak gave his order and everyone went straight to their respective places.
He raised the pen in his hand and dashed forward while releasing a magic spear in front of him.
Balak's attack flew but was immediately blocked by a man in a black robe who threw out his hands and responded to his attack with an explosion right in front of his face.
The two stepped back and took some distance between each other.
"Who are you?" Balak asked angrily. He wrote hundreds of words in the air in an instant which instantly turned into a black sword. With a wave of his hand, the hundreds of swords moved like a flowing river and killed everything in its path.
The man dodged so easily as if Balak's attack was nothing. He started swinging his arms and 10 Moonblades flew towards Balak.
'Direct release?' Balak looked at the magic force used while writing another word which produced a transparent dome that dispelled the moonblade.
'If he uses the direct release method, then I don't need to hold back anymore.' Balak raised the pen in his hand and wrote dozens of words in an instant.
"I don't have much time for these useless games."
