Hearing him say the impossible made me confused. Was giving me facial features that hard even for a demon. It left me in an odd daze. But what was even more odd was that he was looking at me with a face full of disdain.
"is it that hard for someone like me?"
"There are two reasons why I can't do it human. One, almost anyone can't do it, and I am one of them. Two, you summoned a low-tier demon. I am one of the weakest demons out there, in this vast land human. Just because I can see your soul. That doesn't mean I can do everything."
I was staring at the demon with the blandest face as if someone told the world's unfunniest joke. What did he mean, I wish I hadn't accepted that old hag's gift.
"Fear not human; I may be the weakest, but I'm one of the smartest. I know every single thing about this world, and I can help you threw it. All I ask is for a simple deal, you get your dumb wish and I get mine; help me kill Lucifer."
"are you fucking crazy? there's no way I'm doing that! I can barely even fight. the only thing I can do is throw a half-decent jab."
"That's why I'm going to teach you magic, and it's a good deal. You get your wish, and I get mine."
I feel conflicted, this was a shitty deal. Plus, he was laughing at me when I summoned him, then he was telling me a piece of history, and now he wants to make a deal with me. I don't want to accept it, but I can't resist. It's like some outside force is telling me in my head over and over again to accept the shitty deal.
"ok, fine, you got me; I accept. but let me ask you one thing: why do you want to kill Lucifer?"
"Because simply I don't like him."
There has to be more to this right? Right? Oh fuck it I just wanna get this deal over with.
"Let's just hurry up and make the deal."
"if you say so."
I saw him pull out a piece of paper with a mark on it, it looked like a person trapped in chains.
"where did that come out of?"
"Don't worry about it. That's one of my many amazing secrets."
I can tell you one thing and one thing only about this demon, I don't like him. I sucked it up and bit my thumb with a good force behind. I could feel the dripping of the blood on my thumb. It slowly ran down my thumb, and soon I heard a *splash*, then I couldn't move. I felt like a puppet on strands of string.
Widening my eyes, I saw in plain sight. There were ripples mid-air; slowly but surely chains came out of the ripples. They then quickly, before I could react, shot and threw my chest. I was surprised because it didn't feel like pain, it just felt like a ton of pressure cramming into my chest.
"I haven't asked this, but what was your name and last name?"
"i-i-it's w-w-william w-w-walvis."
"Perfect. My name is Aqrim Craxz, and I hereby call for a soul contract."
