Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 114 Advanced Artifact
[The Great Disintegration], also known as [Mage Bankruptcy], is a spell that any powerful and wealthy mage would hate.

An individual struck by the Great Disintegration will have all magical effects on his body, as well as the carriers of the magical effects, destroyed.

This also led to a consequence.

Once a wizard is hit by the Great Disintegration, all the magical items he has accumulated for nearly a hundred years and spent millions of gold coins to collect or create will be reduced to ashes.

What’s even more insane is that even a divine artifact has a 1% chance of being destroyed if hit by this spell!
The combat effectiveness of high-level wizards is mostly reflected in the expensive magic items on their bodies. Compared with the pitifully few spell slots, magic items such as the [Dissociation Wand] that can release the [Dissociation Spell] three times a day are their main means of attack.

The staff, six rings on both hands, earrings, necklace, headband, and bracelets together can provide a high-level wizard with at least twenty spell slots.

Some bards have joked in poetry that the old, toothless wizard wears more gaudy jewelry than the noble ladies in the city.

It is precisely because of this that [Great Disintegration] is so hated by high-level mages.

If the scroll in front of him was really [Great Disintegration], then even a powerful protective spell like [Magic Seal of Mordenkainen] would be vulnerable to it.

Because [Great Disintegration] was originally created based on the counter-spell of protective spells, it is the nemesis of all protective spells.

After a brief frenzy, Nemesis calmed down. He knew that the devil would never be so kind as to give him a scroll worth two million gold coins for free.

There must be some strings attached.

"What do you want?" Nemesis asked calmly.

Raphael curled the corners of his mouth, feeling very proud. Look, even a dragon cannot escape the temptation of the devil. There are no eternal enemies or eternal friends in this world. Only interests, only great interests are the truth of everything.

"Oh, I don't want much. There is something behind the door that once belonged to me. Now I just want to take it back." Raphael looked humble.

"Hehe, then why do you still need me? Can't you just go in and get it yourself?" Nemesis suddenly realized something was wrong.

Raphael also kept silent.

Nemesis's expression became subtle: "You can't, right? Or, you need my consent before you can take it?"

Raphael said angrily, "You don't need to worry about these. Just tell me whether you agree or not."

"Heh," Nemesis sneered, "Why should I agree to you? Although I don't know why, I guess the things inside are probably ordered by Hell to be given to you, right? Just like the prey you gave to Demogorgon before."

"You want to enrich yourself and take advantage of others?"

After hearing this, Raphael did not continue to be angry. Instead, he shrugged and put away the scroll.

"The things inside are indeed prepared for you. Or rather, the most precious thing inside, the high-level artifact, is prepared for you. What I want to take is just a burial object, a work of art that this wizard has no appreciation for. I only want it."

Raphael said word by word: "If you don't agree, I won't give you the scroll of [Great Disintegration]. In fact, this scroll is my personal investment. If you change to any other devil, they will only try to make you perform a blood sacrifice ritual, so that their true bodies can descend to open the seal for you, and they will never give you less than what I want!"

Nemesis thought about it. He did not object to what Raphael said. The devil was the most greedy creature. Obviously, even if Raphael was driven away, other devils would not offer him better conditions.

More importantly, the high-level artifact that Raphael mentioned deeply attracted Nemesis. In this world, any high-level artifact has a name and is extremely rare.

As the highest-level treasure in the mortal world, each high-level artifact is forged by a god-level being and possesses extremely terrifying power. If you can really get a high-level artifact, it's okay to agree to Raphael, right?

Nemesis was not interested in the work of art that Raphael mentioned. He didn't know what it was anyway. As long as he got that high-level artifact, everything would be easy.

"Okay, I promise you." Nemesis said solemnly.

Raphael's eyes lit up, and he said without hesitation: "We must sign a contract!"

Nemesis frowned: "Does it have to be a contract? Can't we swear an oath to God?"

Raphael sneered and said, "The devil has ten thousand ways to escape from that kind of house-playing stuff. I suggest that you don't trust the binding force of the oath of God too much in the future. Compared with the Hell Contract, it is far inferior!"

Nemesis was a little surprised. Could it be possible to break a vow made to a god? This was indeed a secret that had not appeared in his memory inheritance.

As expected of a devil who is the best at taking advantage of loopholes, he can even break an oath witnessed by God.
"I can sign the contract, but I must pray to Oghma to let Him witness that there are no traps in the contract." Nemesis did not allow any refusal.

Now it was Raphael's turn to be upset: "What did you say? The only witnesses of the Hell Contract are the "Sisters of Justice". Why would the gods monitor us signing the contract? "

"That's none of my business," Nemesis curled his lips, "Don't you know who you are? I don't trust a contract drawn up by a devil. Agree to this condition, or forget it. I'd rather walk out of here and pretend I've never heard of the existence of this high-level artifact than give the devil a chance to control me through the contract."

Raphael snorted coldly and said with an unhappy look: "I promise you, okay, damn gods are no better than those disgusting demons. These troublesome guys exist everywhere!"

Just as Raphael was about to take out the contract, Audrey beside him said, "Wait a minute!"

"We agreed to share the spoils fairly. Shouldn't the three of us share that high-level artifact?"

Nemesis was speechless when he heard this. This Naga was really stupid. Was it all in vain that he had listened for so long?
Sure enough, the next moment, Raphael smiled.

He said to Audrey gently, "You want it too?"

Audrey nodded stupidly.

Raphael pointed to the ground casually, and a bronze mirror as tall as his own appeared in front of him. He pointed at the mirror and said to Audrey, "Look inside and tell me what you see?"

Audrey was a little confused, and Catherine beside her didn't say anything, so she had to look at the mirror, but found only her own reflection.

"There is nothing but me?" she said foolishly.

Raphael picked his ears, blew away the earwax, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Yes, look in the mirror."

"What the hell are you!" Raphael suddenly roared, scaring Audrey. She looked at Raphael a little aggrieved, but the latter continued to attack without any hesitation.

"I asked you to look in the mirror so that you can see what you are! I brought a scroll worth two million gold coins to you. Do you think I am here to play with you? You still want something? What do you want? Tell me, are you a chosen one of the gods? Are you a noble real dragon?"

"No!" Raphael sneered, "You are just a stupid mortal who is not even bothered to mark the two-headed baboon. Like most stupid mortals, you dare to dare to get your hands on the gift of hell?"

　Well... Poor Audrey, she was severely humiliated by Raphael just for fighting for her own rights. Maybe one day, she will stand in front of Raphael and say, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully a poor girl"?
