บท 98: Chapter 95: Contract with Brünhild Part 1
After I accepted to hear Brünhild out, the latter smiled brightly, her smile was breathtaking, for a moment I was captivated. Shaking my head I chuckled before following her.
With the flick of Brünhild's fingers, we were teleported inside a room, it was a throne room, this one was different from the previous one, the previous one paled in comparison to this one majesty, in the middle of the room stood a beautiful giant throne, it was purple. It was beautiful carved with numerous pictures drawn on it. However, there were several cracks on the purple throne. This purple seemed to be from an ancient Era.
For an instant I felt attracted toward the purple throne as though something from the depth of my soul was pulling me toward it, I had the feeling that the purple throne was mine, something whispering that I should claim it. So, I started walking toward the purple throne, however, after taking the fifth steps I froze in place, I couldn't take another step forward, not because of fear but instead, I felt unworthy of the purple throne, the current me was too weak, way too weak to claim it. This sudden feeling arises in my heart. My emotions turned complexes, I felt a bad aftertaste in my mouth.
Brünhild's smiling face vanished as she murmured with a sigh, "I guess it was too soon."
I was lost in my thoughts, so I didn't pay any head to whatever Brünhild was saying.
Brünhild flicked her fingers again and we were teleported inside another room. This room was big and entirely painted white with nothing inside it, after we entered the White room finally I was able to regain my cool, so I looked at Brünhild questioningly wondering why she brought me here.
"Master, the reason I brought you here is to talk about something important and beneficial for both of us," Brünhild explained while staring at me in the eyes.
Still a little irritated by the early failure my voice was colder than usual. "Go straight to the point."
Brünhild heaved a sigh knowing why I was angry, it was her mistake, she shouldn't have done that, however it was too late to regret it now, she can't only swallow her excuses. I bet it was what she was thinking, she was not wrong, however, I'm grateful for what she did, it shows that I have work to do.
Brünhild decided to explain to me why she brought me here.
"Master, I want to make a contract with you. This contract is necessary if I want to continue living and recover from my injuries. Like I said earlier I wasn't an artifact's spirit from the beginning, I was a Demi-Goddess before being injured, to temporarily save my life I was sealed inside this artifact, thus becoming an artifact's spirit. I'm running out of time, thus it's why I suggested making a contract with you, I'll be linked to you."
My eyes narrowed as I stared at Brünhild,
"What benefits do I get by making a contract with you?"
"I'm powerful, I'll be your weapon, your shield. My every being is yours. You will not lose anything by making a contract with me." Brünhild replies with a smile.
I let out a chuckle and decided to test something, so I said, "Sorry, I alone I'm enough. I'm really powerful, the strongest in this world even beyond this world I'll be one of the strongest."
I was filled with total confidence, Brünhild shook her head and confirmed the suspicion I was having.
"Certainly, it may be so, but if I have a body I can beat the current you. You know nothing of what strongest means, I bet none of you know what strongest means. If you were to face one you'll immediately know that you're too weak, Master. You might have some inkling about someone who is really beyond your current level after finding a few clues in this world."
"Sigh!"
I knew I wasn't the strongest in the universe but I thought that I was one of the strongest. However, it seems that my thinking was wrong. Well, I just want to live peacefully not pursue power but somehow I had the feeling that it won't be easy.
Undoubtedly troubles lay ahead, So, I need subordinates, powerful subordinates. My gut feeling was telling me that if I were to accept this contract, a lot of surprises awaits me in the future besides some answers, hence I see no reason to refuse.
"Okay, I accept."
The corners of Brünhild's mouth lift into a smile, her smile shined like the stars in the sky, with no bright city lights to dim them. It was like the sun opened its eager light to shine about her, only brightening her perfectly aligned teeth.
I must say her smile is really beautiful and breathtaking.
"Good, let's pr-"
Brünhild wasn't able to continue speaking because I appeared before her. My right arm moved toward her face.
Even though she was caught off guard she still managed to avoid the blow by tilting her head backward.
However my next attack had already followed, Brünhild didn't seem flustered, calmly she blocked my kick before leaping back. With the flick of my fingers hundred fireballs were created and hurled towards her at fast speed.
Facing the incoming fireballs Brünhild was unfazed, she drew something in the air at fast speed and a transparent shield appeared in front of her. My fireballs crashed against the transparent shield creating an explosion.
*Boom
The room shook, however, Brünhild shield was intact, it suffered no damages. I became surprised and looked at Brünhild.
The latter smiled and explain like it was not a big deal "No need to be astonished, it's just a basic shield rune, the more complex type can cover this world."
"Interesting. I bet you know a lot of these runes?" I asked interested in these Rune's things.
"Yeah, I'm specialized in them," Brünhild responds before with her right arm she drew some runes in the air at an extremely fast speed. Soon, numerous white light appeared in the air, they numbered in the hundred.
"Ice Arrows"
I heard Brünhild voice followed by the flick of her fingers, the White light became Ice Arrows that shot straight in my direction.
"Nice demonstration, these Ice Arrows seem simple I bet they are not."
I mumbled before vanishing from where I stood and reappears in another location, strangely these Ice Arrows still followed me, they possess a tracking ability. I let out a chuckle and with the wave of my hand, the hundred Ice Arrows were cleaved in two.
Meanwhile, when I was dealing with the Ice Arrows Brünhild muttered, "Come at me *****"
The tattoo located on her left cheek wriggled like it was alive before vanishing from there, a three meters (9ft) long Silver spear appeared in her hand.
Brünhild's gorgeous armor shines beautifully on her woman's figure. Her huge spear looked heavy and huge to an impossible point, and yet it was being lightly carried in her hands. Her demeanor changed when the Silver spear appeared in her hand, the atmosphere around her changed, she looked like a Goddess of war.
Brünhild was ready to attack, however, I couldn't let her proceed because I noticed that after summoning her weapon she had become a little paler than usual, she had become a little transparent as well as if she could disappear at any moment.
"Let's end it here. I've confirmed what I want to confirm. Let's proceed with the contract."
"Thank you, Master," Brünhild replies happily, she seemed extremely pleased that I had noticed her condition and stopped her from continuing the fight.
Then she asked me to follow her, I let out a sigh before following her with my hands crossed behind my back and numerous thoughts running through my head.
