章 30: Already a Half-Demon
編集者: Atlas Studios
Betta slowly walked out of the Exorcism Room with Cretius in his arms.
Stroking the cat fur in his hand, Betta smiled and said.
"Looks like you're not stupid after all. If you had listened to me earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Cretius did not reply and only snorted.
Betta was not angry and continued smiling.
"In the future, just follow me obediently."
"Don't worry. As long as you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, I won't treat you badly."
Cretius yawned and said nothing.
He could not do anything bad to Betta now.
At this moment, Betta thought of something and asked.
"By the way, Cody, what is the demon bloodline you mentioned before?"
"Can you please stop calling me Cody? It sounds awful."
"Alright, Cody. No problem, Cody."
"…"
Cretius was completely speechless.
Why did this guy say "okay" and "no problem"?
But he still called him Cody?
It seemed like he could not change this matter.
Cretius sighed and said.
"The ability of the demon bloodline is for me to share my bloodline with you."
"This way, you can transform into a demon and obtain powerful physical strength."
"However, the bloodline cannot be given directly."
"You have to exchange your human bloodline with mine."
Although Cretius spoke very carefully, he did not take it seriously.
After all, many people could not accept a human exchanging a part of their bloodline with a demon.
Humans were extremely afraid of freaks.
As long as others discovered the difference, they would definitely treat him like a monster.
The young human in front of him did not look stupid. He should understand this.
Therefore, he would definitely not agree!
"Alright, I agree. Let's exchange bloodlines."
"Heh, I knew you wouldn't agr…"
"What did you say?"
Cretius thought he had heard wrong and was slightly stunned.
"I said, I agreed. Let's immediately start exchanging bloodlines."
"No, why did you agree?"
Cretius was completely dumbfounded. He looked at Betta and said.
"This is an exchange of bloodlines!"
"Aren't you afraid that others will find out about this?"
"If they know…"
"Alright, alright. Stop nagging like a woman."
Betta rolled his eyes.
"We have a contract. You can't do anything to harm me."
"Therefore, I can confirm that this contract doesn't do me any harm."
"As for what you said, I simply do not care."
Hearing Betta's words, Cretius fell silent.
Although these words were a little too hasty, some of the logic behind them was quite smooth.
It seemed that this young human had his own thoughts.
"Fine. Since that's the case, I won't say anything else."
"Oh?" Betta raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "We've just signed a contract, and you're already thinking for me?"
"No shit."
The black cat rolled its eyes at Betta.
"Our contract clearly states that if you die in an accident, I will die with you. I will definitely have to take into consideration my own life."
Betta nodded in satisfaction and touched Cretius's head.
"That's right."
"Don't worry, the lifespan of humans is very short, at most a hundred years."
"After I naturally die of old age, you will regain your freedom."
"And I won't mistreat you while you're with me."
Cretius licked his paws and said casually.
"I hope you can keep your promise."
…
The dormitory was still empty.
Betta and Cretius sat opposite each other on the bed.
Then, Cretius extended his paw.
Betta extended a finger.
Its claw and his finger touched in midair.
Then, there was silence.
Betta's eyes twitched as he looked at Cretius and said.
"That's it?"
"Yeah."
"No, it's just a simple touch of the claws when exchanging bloodlines?"
"If not?"
Cretius looked at Betta in confusion.
"Do we have to exchange our heads?"
Betta covered his face in disappointment.
"I thought the process would be very interesting. I didn't expect it to be so simple."
When Cretius heard this, he said nonchalantly.
"You humans love to fantasize too much."
"Furthermore, what you humans fantasize about is often what you are willing to believe."
"The more powerful a superpower is, the more large-scale it must be?"
"The stronger the body, the more fit it must be?
"The more intelligent a soul is, the older it must be?
"Ridiculous. That's just an excuse you humans forcibly added to your fantasies to convince yourselves."
Betta was slightly stunned.
He did not expect this silly cat to be so philosophical.
Still.
Slap.
Betta slapped Cretius on the head.
This slap stunned Cretius.
"Why did you hit me?!"
"Who told you to act cool in front of me?"
"I allow you to act cool, but you are not allowed to act cool in front of me."
Betta said confidently.
He was the master, and Cody was his servant.
Cretius was speechless. He silently licked his fur.
The next moment, it suddenly felt as if it had seen something strange.
When it turned to look at Betta, it was so scared that its hair stood on end.
His unreliable master had actually activated the Demon Bloodline directly.
Now, he was gradually becoming a demon!
Betta slowly raised his hands and quietly watched his transformation.
His originally fair skin was gradually turning black.
His body seemed to be growing taller.
Something seemed to be breaking through his skin from behind.
The next moment, a single pair of wings sprouted from his back.
His gray wings contrasted sharply with his black gem-like skin.
The changes gradually stopped, and Betta sighed softly.
A dense aura of chaotic sulfur escaped his mouth.
He stood up slowly and realized that his field of vision had become slightly higher.
Originally, he was only 1.8 meters tall.
Now that he had activated his demon bloodline, he immediately grew to 2 meters.
Betta walked slowly to the table and looked into the mirror.
At this moment, he could still vaguely see his human appearance.
However, the pitch-black skin and eyes that were completely dyed black still sent a message.
He was now a half-demon!
