"Noted. The host previously mentioned that it was of demonic origins. Since its effects seem quite powerful for a demonic ability, what is the drawback?"
This was the one thing all demonic abilities shared. The more miraculous or powerful it was, the higher the price the user would have to pay to use it.
Hao Xuan went silent, pondering the decision to share the information or not.
'Better to let him know. I don't want him to get suspicious just yet.'
"When I die my body will turn into the next version of the book, making it stronger and more powerful for the next person that comes across it."
"But it won't have any side effects while the host is still alive?"
"No."
"Noted. A good trade it seems."
"Yeah..."
Hao Xuan smiled inwardly.
Baracus had believed him so the plan worked, even if the information he gave out was incomplete in both regards.
