The homunculi left the demon's body and continued to destroy the enemy puppets. What they didn't notice was the puppet that absorbed the demon's body. The pressure inside the puppet grinded the demon's body in a minute. His blood and mana began to change the puppet's body, it acquired some demonic traits.

However, these changes were not noticeable, so none of the viewers even paid attention to them.

The puppet has become something more than just a weak-willed doll. It began, to absorb those whom it saw. When it absorbed smaller puppets, it changed under the influence of his mana, and thus it was slightly strengthened.

Gradually, it began to gather into a huge mass. Hundreds of meters long and wide. They had long since penetrated the expected battlefield, the border guards could not resist for a long time, and the horde rushed straight into the city. A small border town called Heka. Its walls have been easily destroyed by the golem's and giant puppet's attack

Lord of Heka was peacefully drinking tea with his family. He looked like a weak old man who was on the verge of death. He was blind in both eyes, and could not see the environment normally.

-Lord Anderson! Lord Anderson! - A man suddenly ran into the room. Interrupting a peaceful conversation.

- What's the matter? - Anderson put a cup of tea on the table and looked at the man who came in, not feeling his evil intentions, he asked him - Did something happen?

- Trouble! Puppets! They broke through the front, with enemy magicians with them! -Hearing this, Anderson frowned.

- How many enemy magicians? A hundred? Two hundred? Maybe four?

- T-two.

- What? It is impossible to break through the front with only two magicians. Maybe they secretly used more golems?

- No, there were as many of them as we have. It looks like these magicians are unusual. They use massive spells right and left as if they have infinite mana.

- It's impossible.

- Anyway, we need your help. Enemy forces have already started a massacre in the city. We don't have time to evacuate the citizens, many magicians are already fighting to buy some time.

- I got you. Take care of the evacuation, I'll detain them. -Anderson's body began to emit light, and he abruptly ran out at an incredible speed.

- After all, the Primordial body is a wonderful body enhancement spell. - Muttered one of those who was in a room.

...

Where are they? Where are they?

Running around the buildings, Anderson surveyed the surroundings. A third eye has already appeared on his forehead. The pupils were pitch black. He didn't see the surroundings, but the aura. A terrifying aura immediately caught his eye.

Strange, what is this evil aura? Did they summon creatures from another world? That will be troublesome

Thinking about this, Anderson had already headed in the direction from where the aura was coming from. As he approached, he saw a huge mass. In his eyes, it wasn't just a big black puppet, but a mass of red, demonic essence. It absorbed everyone it saw, many magicians tried to attack him, but to no avail.

Anderson frowned, this creature will be very problematic. His eyes have already seen small blue dots, these are most likely unsuccessful magicians who were absorbed by this creature.

-Lord Anderson! There are enemy magicians there! Oh, sorry. -One of the magicians pointed shouted and pointed to the side, then realizing his mistake sent a fireball in the direction he wanted to point

Following the spell with his eyes, Anderson saw two strange auras. His eyes are able to see mana, aura, and both at the same time. The blue aura is the usual aura of natural mana, the gray ones are creatures without mana. But they, most of their body emit a blue aura, but the chest and limbs merge with all the colors of the rainbow.

How unusual. Anderson thought.

- I'll deal with them - having said that, Anderson headed towards them. At the same moment, 9 white balls came out of his body. They were spirits.

Approaching them at a distance of 10 meters, the old man stood up and struck. At the same moment, one of the balls took the shape of a fist and flew towards the homunculus.

Noticing the threat, he immediately raised his weapon, the blow pushed him dozens of meters away.

Another homunculus noticed this and immediately cast a magic projectile.

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

Anderson raised his hand as like protecting, and the other ball turned into a shield that protected him.

- It's useless! The fate of the dishonest intruders, vanish into oblivion!

Having said that, he grabbed one of the spirits and cast a spell on it

- The Bounce Curse. -As soon as the spell was cast, he threw it, and the ball flew at a twisted angle, the Seventh raised his hand to protect himself, but when the ball touched his hand, he immediately turned pale, realizing what the catch was.

The ball was strong enough to push an adult man a few meters away, but it was not enough for him. The main problem with the spell, it make the Seventh's body feel like a bouncing ball.

While he was pondering how dangerous it was, Anderson had already run up to him, two spirits stuck to his hands, becoming spiked gloves. There was a bracelet on one of his hands that seemed to strengthen him somehow.

He hit the homunculus in the chest, it flew dozens of meters, hit the building, but did not enter it, instead it bounced back in a cartoonish manner.

Standing at a distance of five meters from the wall, he continued to beat the homunculus every time he returned, with each blow a hole appeared on his body due to the spikes on the glove.

-Lightning snakes! - Holding yari in his hands, the Fifth made a chopping blow towards Anderson. He just raised his arm and waved, and one of the spirits turned into a shield and blocked his blow. However, the lightning around the Fifth’s weapon took the form of a snake, which immediately jumped towards Anderson, wanting to bite him.

He immediately grabbed the snake by the neck and tried to crush it. Snakes exploded, and lightning bolts temporarily paralyzed him. The hand with which he held the snake suffered the most, it wriggled uncontrollably.

Seventh released and immediately grabbed the old man's healthy arm and pulled it toward his chest, Anderson immediately reacted and tried to hit his chest, but to his surprise, he didn't feel the impact.

With his own eyes, he saw the spatial fluctuations in his chest, and immediately realized that it was a spatial spell, he wanted to pull out his hand, but the homunculus held him so tightly as if his life depended on it.

- Spatial rift! -Nothing came out of the hole and soon the portal closed, at the same time easily cutting the old man's hand. No matter how strong the metal is, unstable spatial faults can cut through practically anything.

The old man only clenched his teeth, not even crying out in pain.

The Seventh smiled but suddenly clutched at his heart. His chest was making thumping sounds. He immediately opened the portal, and the rest of the arm flew out along with the spirit, which immediately entered Anderson's body. The hand, in turn, flew dozens of meters away.

- *Cough!* -spitting out a mouthful of blood, he muttered - I was greedy in vain. I thought I could get his bracelet later.

He wanted to get the bracelet later, after all, magic artifacts are very useful.

Anderson raised the remains of his arm, and one of the spirits attached itself to him and after a couple of moments took the form of a hand. After moving it a couple of times, he nodded weakly. Suddenly, his eyes caught the aura behind him, he immediately turned around, and a Huge Puppet appeared before his eyes. The Mages had already given up trying to suppress it and instead focused on destroying ordinary puppets and evacuating citizens.

The puppet absorbed the hand, and at the same moment after the absorption, it began to separate the small puppets that attacked everyone they saw. Some of them headed toward the group. The homunculi immediately destroyed them, replenishing their mana reserves.

Anderson's eyes caught the transmission of part of the mana of the dead, he looked at them and said

- Oh, so that's how you two managed to break through the front. Hm... even if I kill you, I can't stop them. Instead, you might be very useful. But I don't have enough... *sigh* I guess I have no choice.

Anderson raised his hand, four of his spirits stood in a row, with a wave of his hand he destroyed them, and they fell to the ground. Their color has already changed from white to black. They rose into the air again, taking the form of a black mirror. Gradually, a figure appeared in the reflection.

- Well, well, well. And who called me this time. Aah, Anderson. Glad to see you -The figure had no clear outlines, his eyes shone with a purple light. His body was hazy, his heart also shone purple and was beating weakly. There were countless dots on the body that shone with different colors and appeared and disappeared when the purple heart was beating.

- Sitenustad. I wish for a force capable of crushing all the enemies around.

After examining the surroundings, the Duke said with a grin

- It's not impossible. What do you want to give this time? You have already given away your enchanted eyes, void steps, and a floating cloud. I'm afraid the remaining spells won't be enough.

Anderson frowned. Duke of the Abyss Sitenustad, also known as the Spell Contractor, is one of the 7 Dukes of the Abyss. He is able to give someone temporary or permanent power in return for a spell. A person can exchange an unnecessary spell for power. The higher the level of the spell, and the more times it raised a class or evolved, the more valuable it became to the Sitenustad.

However, either because of the peculiarities of his powers or because of his whim, even the effects that appeared on the body were taken along with the spell. For example, if a person had a horn because of this, then it was torn off by the root. But this is still a harmless option. Those who, due to evolution, had an animal body, and the skin hardened, lost it all instantly, feeling incredible pain.

If someone decided to exchange a spell that changed vital organs, well, they can only blame their own shortsightedness.

- Everything. - Said Anderson - I give everything. My time has long passed, perhaps I could have achieved more if I hadn't stopped in the past. However, I don't regret anything. Even if my sacrifice helps only one person today, I will be happy.

- What a speech. -Sitenustad clapped but said - Well, the contract will be your soul and your body.

A contract appeared in front of Anderson, and after reading the terms, he signed it without a doubt with blood.

Immediately, a void aura filled his entire body, and a purple light appeared in his eyes. The body seemed to have become a little foggy. The spirits immediately darkened, and also acquired a purple glow.

Dots began to appear around him, they slowly formed small chains that entered his body and wrapped around his heart.

-I'm taking both the mortal part of your soul and the immortal part.

- I don't mind.

- So be it. - If someone were to look closely at Sitenustad, they could notice how several dots appeared on his body, the brightest of which was the orange dot, which represented Anderson's Primitive Body. His heart beat once and all of them disappeared. Now his powers are part of him.

-I'll allow you to use all your powers. Enjoy.
