"I will be going now" She said as she wave her hand.
No wonder Troy tried to kill me at first glance. After some time Nunu and Troy entered the room.
"Master, are you doing well?"
"I'm fine. Honestly I don't even know what happened. And I am also glad that I am not dead yet"
I just remembered that Gwen said her arm got really injured. How come this guy haven't made a move yet?
I look at Troy.
"Are you mad at me?" I ask nervously.
"No. I don't like seeing her getting hurt, but, she was smiling and all. I'm happy as long as she is happy"
He smiled at me. A warm smile.
The two sat down and we continued our talk. Apparently, I have been knocked out for about three hours. And that Alfred cause a commotion which made Troy had to made his move. He said that Aubree tried to stop him but failed. Troy then knock Alfred out.
"You two sure get along well"
"We're both dragons after all. Plus, this kiddo is the only dragon I have ever interact without punching first upon contact"
Right, he hates his brethren.
"Master, I haven't ask you about this yet but... how exactly were you able to attain the anti-magic attribute?"
"That...well, I copied from Talep. He doesn't know about this of course. So don't tell him, okay'?"
"I understand"
Nunu fell asleep while me and Troy continued our talk. Other than the fact he almost killed me, his a really sensible guy. Just talking with him, that alone is enough to give you peace of mind. Is it his voice? The way he speaks perhaps? Or maybe his facial expression which makes him so easy to approach?
"You said earlier that you were able to copy the anti-magic attribute from someone. That is impossible without using forbidden magic. However you do not possess any kind of markings that you used one so how were you able to do it?" He ask.
Looking at me seriously with no emotion whatsoever. He must be being cautious of me since I hold potential threat to Gwen.
"Soul link. The 'skills' that everyone acquired through leveling up are etch into their soul cores. My ability allows me to freely manipulate souls as long as they can't resist it. Using soul link I slowly copied and modified the anti-magic attribute into me. Currently I am able to use about twenty percent of its actual power. You can rest assured that I bear no hostility towards Gwen or the magic kingdom"
"Good"
We shake hands and he went out.

His stats are also scary. I took the chance to take a look when we shake hands but I somehow regret doing it now. Hmm, looking at it closer, how do you even get the class
Plus, what the hell is up with both his psychological state and status. His stats alone are already better than Gwen. Sigh. I wonder if my son will reach his level in the future.
Aura increases one's strength temporarily. While warstyle martial arts amplifies the force by each strike, so it basically multiplies the strength of your hits. If he learn something like this and not become an omnipotent being then I don't what is.
"Loki, can I still see Alfred's status?"
"If he is in your party then yes"
I quickly took a look at his abilities.
[Active skill(s):
1.) Aura: Using the life energy within to empower oneself.
Passive skill(s):
1.) Anti-magic aura: Negates all magic that touches the skin.
Title(s) effect:
God of War's gift:

-Stamina rises proportional to the health lost
-Debuff immunity
-Curse immunity
-Manipulation immunity
Side effects of God of War's gift:
-Mental erosion]
Alfred sure have some nice one's here. Even my 'Master of the Souls' gift isn't this good. How envious. The side effect seems to be the biggest hurdle. Since he has a level cap of 210, the more he levels up the more he will get insane. Since it is a blessing from another high ranking god even my
If only my level was higher back then, I would have been able to see the side effects of his gift as well.
I called Nrowe so that she can inform Alfred that I am doing fine and for her to tell Alfred not to increase his level until I say so. The side effects of his blessing is such a headache. If I don't inform them now, Alfred will say ridiculous things that they tried to kill me in a friendly match and they'd most likely plan all kinds of plots to sabotage my new allies. And I can't let such misunderstanding happen. Absolutely not.
Knowing Mel, she is probably out there having fun. As long as she don't get caught, I don't really care what she is doing right now.
I already had a hard time against the tower master and yet she only use spells which is considered basic for her from the beginning which is already hard for me. I need to get stronger. She didn't bothered using her arcane attribute. I got defeated from a single grand magic at that.
Knock! Knock!
"Come in"
A nurse came in with books on hand. She came closer and said that the tower master said for her to give all of these to me so that I can do something while I am recovering. How thoughtful of her.
The nurse went out after bowing.
They have some pretty interesting titles. "Legends of the Seven Kings", "Introduction to better magic proficiency", and "Superior races: Demon hierarchy".
Reading the books in that order, the first one really catch my attention. Seven adventurers who are hailed as the seven kings due to their accomplishments the past decade; Gambler King, Phantom King, Hell king, Ice king, Sky King, Illusion King, and Sorcerer King.
Despite having the title of 'King', three out the seven are actually females. They should have said 'Queen' instead if that was the case.
The second book was also interesting but it has little to no use to me since I already know it.
The third book explains about the characteristics of the demon clan.
The ranking system that they hold are similar to chess pieces. The lowest class are the pawns who does not have any kind of intelligence. the rook who has the same intelligence as humans, power is comparable to a tier three adventurer. Knight is someone who creates plans using their cunning minds to deceive people, and is comparable to a tier two adventurer to tier one adventurer. The bishop who holds immense power comparable to a unique monster and is sometimes in the same level as a sacred beast. Queen class is basically Levi's level, a demon that possess power which is the same as a divine beast like a phoenix. And the king, the one who rules over all demons. The demon king.
Among the three most powerful races: Angels, spirits, and demons. Demons have the most destructive power. Angels are versatile since their power can also cure diseases and heal wounds. While spirits uses the elements around them, making endless combination of attacks and defenses.
I already have the holy attribute which is good. Copying the anti-magic attribute will be done after some time which is also good. I need get hold of the arcane attribute. Or...
"Um, I am sure that there are gods watching me right now so... anyone want to form a contract with me?" I ask.
[The Master of the Souls' is questioning your statement]
[Some Gods are intrigue to what you are planning]
"They are asking if you can say something more specific. In truth, I am also interested to what you plan is" (Loki)
All gods are divided into three main category: Good, Neutral, and Evil. So surely some will be interested, right?
"I would like to form a contract. Of course, I do not know what you guys want so you can just tell me if you do want something. Just make sure it is doable. If not then don't bother. In exchange of doing you guys a favor, I would like to receive some of your powers."
"Being an apostle to multiple gods at the same time is impossible. The contract you currently have with Lady Azraelle will be erase if you do so" (Loki)
"I do not want to be an apostle, what I am talking about is mutual cooperation"
[Some Gods are thinking about your statement]
I don't mind doing an errand if I can make things easier. Why take the hard route if I can just skip things a bit.
"Lady Azraelle is asking if you really want another power? To the point that you would go to the extent of contracting with another God" Loki said.
"Well, yes, I don't see anything bad about it"
I'm too lazy to put in the effort to train and train day and night to beat my enemy. I am not righteous to begin with.
"..."
They sure like taking their time.
[The Demon of Greed, Mammon, proposes a contract]
I look down when I felt a slight feeling. A paper appeared in my hands. The paper says...
[Hero, Michael Santiago, I will give you a portion of my power in exchange of a favor. If you can give me all that you possess I will grant you the power to everything into gold]
Rejected. There is no way I am going to give him my son.
[The Messenger of the Gods, Hermes, proposes a contract]
Another one appeared, and so I read what it says.
[If you can offer me this world's most valuable treasure, then I will give you speed that is unmatched]
Rejected. It would take too long to get what he wants. There is also the possibility that the treasure he is talking about is in the hands of someone strong which I do not know. Time consuming too much. Bzzzt!
[The Goddess of Love, Aphrodite, proposes a contract]
And another one appeared.
[I will give you the power to charm anyone and everyone if you give me your chastity]
REJECTED!!! There is no way I would sacrifice my virginity to obtain power!
They are demanding things that I don't want to do. Sigh.
[The Master of the Souls proposes a contract]
Hmm. Her?
[I will give you the power to summon spirits and own them as your own if you swear an oath to never make another contract to any other God or demon]
Huh? That's it? Something is fishy though.
"Loki, will you please explain what this means"
"Lady Azraelle's pride will be damage if you, who is her apostle, make a contract with someone else. That's why"
I don't mind since based on the demands of the previous ones. It is near impossible to accomplish their demands. However, I also don't know how great it is to have the ability to summon spirits.
"I will postpone it in the meantime. Is that okay?"
"She said yes"
After a day, I went to find Gwen so that I can ask her about spirit summoning. I bump into Troy and said that I should wait for sunset and then go to her office. Following his advice, I went to her office at sunset. And Gwen was there, eating. I guess this is her snack time.
"Do you need something?" She ask.
I entered the room and slowly sit down on a chair.
"Yes. Do you know how great it is to summon a spirit and make them your own?"
