"Do you want to hasten your death? Ah, yes... Maybe I should spare you... As my slave of course!"
I spoke and an evil smile was present on my face.
"You know that you will offend my father if you enslave me, right?"
"Yes, but why would I be afraid to offend your father, the demon lord? I'm going to beat him up in the future so offending him today won't change anything."
"You will kill me anyway if I won't accept. I'll accept in becoming your slave but I already warned you about the consequences."
I ignored Pedonar's last sentence and prepared on activating [Enslave].
"You sure you won't regret this?"
Pedonar asked me another time.
"Of course I won't! Why would I?"
Who would? Offending the demon lord in exchange for a system level-up and a hero as a slave.
I would offend the demon lord in the future so why wouldn't I offend him now?
I cast [Enslave] towards Pedonar and a contract paper with a feather pen appeared out of thin air.
The conditions that I thought of were stated in the contract.
Pedonar and I both signed the contract using the feather pen.
The contract vanished in an instant and a blinding shining yellow light emanated when the contract vanished.
"Now it's done.", I muttered.
A transparent blue screen appeared in front of me.
*Ding!*
*Host has completed the Impossible Y+ Rank Task. The task rewards have been received.*
*Ding!*
*The system has received a level-up! The system will now be in a 7 days slumber before it will be upgraded.*
*The host will no longer be able to converse with the system but the host can still access the system features. The system will no longer be able to alert the host of any dangers. Goodbye, host. See you in 7 days. Hope you won't die especially from another banana peel!*
As the system said that, the transparent blue screen that was in front of me disappeared in an instant.
Wait... what?
As I was baffled by the sudden turn of events, Pedonar was slightly tugging my clothing, and a 'what will we do now face was present in Pedonar's face.
Wait... Did Pedonar saw the system? How about I ask him?
"Pedonar, did you see the 'thing' that was in front of me?"
"Oh! Do you mean the transparent blue screen which showed some texts that I couldn't read? Well, I did see it."
"How come? Let me take a look at the contract again."
After I mumbled that, I waved my hands and two contracts materialized in front of me. It was my contract with the dragon king and my contract with Pedonar.
I took ahold of my contract with Pedonar and then the other contract faded slowly.
I checked the contents of my contract with Pedonar and the part of it stated that both Pedonar and I will reveal our secrets and never disclosed them to anyone unless both of us agreed on it.
So it was stated in the contract? Did the dragon king also know about the system?
{Of course, I knew about it! When you sealed me inside your storage space which I later know was the system storage, the system revealed itself to me and we conversed for a while.}
What did you converse about?
{It is a secret. I gave the system my word that I won't disclose the contents of my conversation with the system especially the main topic.}
I understood. I won't pry any longer. After all, I would be able to know about it when the system reached level 4 since I would have accessed Mid Tier information.
"Looks like both of our secrets will be revealed but will never be disclosed if both of us will not allow it."
I spoke to Pedonar.
"I forgot to remind you that there is another thing to be worried about after you enslave me. It should be activating like right now."
As Pedonar said that, a bright red light emanated from Pedonar's body. The light formed into a skull and then dissipated.
If the system were here, the system would have explained to me what that was.
"What was that?", I asked Pedonar.
"Well, my father planted a powerful artifact inside my soul. The artifact defended me from soul attacks but not from the magic that seals or contracts the soul. If someone enslaved me or attacks my soul, the artifact will alarm the former owner of the artifact which is my father."
"Technically speaking, your father would have known about this after that red light emanated from your body, right?"
"Yes."
D*mn! Even I couldn't handle a demon lord especially the leader of the demon lords.
I'll just trust my luck. I hope the 100 million luck stat on my status was not for show.

[Somewhere In The Demon Continent]
The Main Demon Lord's PoV:
I was currently sitting on my throne, waiting for the reports of my subordinates.
I was getting bored and impatient as I waited.
Suddenly, I saw a vision that there was a bright red light that formed into a skull and it was coming from... My son?
Finally! I found him!
I focused and examined the vision I got and I saw Pedonar with a silver-haired goblin hero.
From the looks of it, the silver-haired goblin hero was enslaving my son!
The activation of the artifact that I planted on Pedonar proves it!
That son of b*tch! I'll rip him into shreds and burn the pieces of his body into ash!
After that, I will seal his soul inside the hellish prison! The flames from the prison will burn his soul as time passed by which will render his mind insane!
"Attention! I need 5 archdemons to capture that silver-haired goblin hero b*stard!"
I yelled and then 5 burly archdemons clad in armor while wielding their weapons were now in front of me, kneeling and waiting for my command.
"I order the 5 of you to capture that silver-haired goblin hero!"
I spoke and projected an image of the silver-haired goblin hero.
"Capture him! Dead or alive!"
"Yes, your majesty!"
The five of them spoke and vanished in an instant.
I'll show that silver-haired goblin hero that I, Kronos am not someone to be trifled with!
"Muahahahaha!!!"

[Somewhere Inside The Forest Near The Holy Church]
Axel's PoV:
"Achoo! Is there someone who's boasting on how handsome I am?"
"You are thinking too much. It must be one of your enemies."
"Pedonar, Pedonar. I am strong and handsome! I haven't offended anyone yet except for the demon lord. It must be someone who envied my magnificence!"
"When are we returning to the Holy Church, boss?"
"Don't call me boss. Call me by my name. We will go now."
As I said that, I positioned myself and started to activate 10 million stats of my speed.
I signaled Pedonar to follow me and I ran towards the Holy church while Pedonar followed me.
It only took me a second to arrive at the Holy Church.
Since I ran at a high speed, I generated turbulent winds which caused powerful shockwaves but I shifted its direction towards the opposite direction using my wind magic.
I was strong in both physical and magical attacks but I lack combat experience and martial arts so I was better in terms of magic than in physical combat.
I went to the small house that I built and Aerin was currently inside it.
"Aerin, I'm back!"
I knocked on the door and waited for Aerin to open it.
An elf with long golden blonde hair, jade-like colored eyes wearing simple clothing opened the door and stared at me.
We exchange glances for a while before she took the initiative to start a conversation.
"Aren't you going to train in the Killing Mountain?"
Aerin coldly said while staring daggers at me as if she wants to kill me. Even though she tried to act cold, I could still sense that deep inside, she was worried.
"Well I was going to train in there for a week but I detected that some troublemaker infiltrated the barrier and activated my array."
I replied to Aerin while pointing my finger towards Pedonar, who was beside me since I ordered him to follow me.
"I was planning on spying and know about your weakness. I even told the human king to let you, heroes meet me but for some reason, you all accepted the task and already received a down payment but didn't even look for me. You heroes kept on training while splurging the money you got to buy food and other stuff."
Pedonar said while showing impatience and boredom.
I didn't forget about the task that I received from the human king about meeting up with the demon prince but I didn't expect that he would be the one to meet us instead.
I'll ask for the other half of the payment. It's easy money.
"I have some trouble regarding the understanding of nature and plants. Could you please help me, Axel?", Aerin asked.
"Sure thing!"
I replied to Aerin and she allowed me to enter the house with Pedonar.
I could help her with nature and plants. After all, I was a former human and we humans know about a simple subject known as Biology.
