Chapter 349 The Sheep Spirit Pact, Dark King Wen Tai's Speculation

As the two talked, Asha's expression shifted between light and dark.

But after the conversation ended, the hesitation and confusion in her eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a resolute determination and a complex emotion hidden deep in her eyes that was difficult to decipher.

At the same time, just as the dark ripple dissipated, a dark power descended upon her, and she felt her mental strength increase several times over.

The next day, on the same snow-covered mountain ridge, Asha's figure quietly appeared and stood before Qianjue once again.

The raging snowstorm continued, the cold biting, but the struggle and hesitation that had been on her face yesterday were gone.

She stared directly at the ordinary, unremarkable traveler figure that Qianjue had conjured, without any pleasantries or probing, and went straight to the point, her voice clear:

"I agree to the deal."

The moment the words fell, something strange happened!

A pure white mark, pristine and flawless, appeared out of the void without warning. As if drawn by a force, it gently yet irresistibly imprinted itself onto Asha's left arm!

The mark was strange and sacred, like a pure flower in bud, half-hidden and half-revealed.

The instant the mark merged, Asha'ruya clearly felt that an indescribable and profound connection was suddenly established between herself and the mysterious being in front of her, as if an invisible thread was quietly binding her soul to the core of the other.

"What did you do to me? What is this white mark?"

"That's the 'Sheep Spirit Pact' that was generated naturally after you agreed to the deal."

"If you fulfill the transaction normally, it may be beneficial to you; if you break the transaction, it will gradually turn into the Thousand Jewels, at which point I will personally go and take it away."

Azharia remained noncommittal, knowing that Kindred would certainly use some means to restrict her.

However, she had great faith in Wen Tai's power and was not too flustered.

Immediately afterwards, her vision underwent a dramatic change!
Because of the Spirit Pact, she saw some sights she couldn't see before.

The disguise of the "traveler" ahead vanished, revealing its true form—a strange being with an elegant and ethereal white figure as its main body, but surrounded by swirling and violent black shadows.

The two completely opposite qualities of light and darkness are perfectly integrated in her, exuding a terrifying pressure.

This is Kindred's true appearance!

What made Asha's pupils shrink was that two blurry yet powerful figures were following closely beside Kindred.

They emanated a faint yet pure aura of light, and behind them stretched broad wings formed from holy light—their features clearly identified them as angels of the Holy City!

"They...they are..." Asha'ruya couldn't hide her shock, her fingertips trembling as she pointed at the two figures, "Angels?"

The wolf spirit beside him let out a low, hoarse laugh and answered first, "That's right! Just as you thought, they were once the archangels of the Holy City."

"But now, they are the most loyal guides in my Death God Space. It is their duty to guide the souls of this world back to Death God Space!"

Upon seeing this scene, Asha's heart trembled.

During yesterday's transdimensional magical communication, her adoptive father, Wen Tai, did not say much, but he revealed several crucial pieces of information to her.

It was this information that ultimately led her to make the difficult decision to accept Kindred's incredibly dangerous deal. Partly, it was to save Austin, the black dragon with whom she shared a deep bond—an emotion she couldn't sever.

On the other hand, her deeper motivation was to assist her adoptive father, Wen Tai.

Asha'ruya willingly followed in Wentai's footsteps, plunging together into that endless darkness.

She knew that Wen Tai harbored grand pursuits and ideals that transcended the understanding of ordinary people, and she was willing to give everything to help her adoptive father.

She learned from Ventae that Kindred had also appeared during the siege of the Parthenon by the Golden Titans.

More noteworthy is that many of those spreading the image of the "black and white Grim Reaper," creating panic and rumors across the Asian continent, are people who have migrated from Europe.

They acted as silent messengers, quietly sowing the seeds of fear against Kindred.

Based on this, Wen Tai speculated that there is likely some unknown alliance between Kindred, the Void forces that are ravaging Europe, and Soraka, the goddess of the stars who is behind the scenes guiding the resurgence of the Golden Titans and their attack on Parthenon.

They joined forces tacitly, each taking what they needed, and together unleashed a devastating storm that swept across the European continent.

At this moment, Asha's eyes fell upon the two Holy City angels beside Kindred who had been transformed into guides. This horrifying scene undoubtedly further confirmed Ventay's guess—Kindred was also inextricably linked to the destruction of the Holy City.

At this moment, the ethereal and calm voice of the main sheep spirit rang out, and his gaze seemed to penetrate Asha's soul.

"Your soul was already marked and protected by the Dark King, and now this aura... is even stronger and clearer than yesterday."

"Is this the source of your confidence to use your soul as a bargaining chip in this deal with me?"

He revealed Asha's deepest reliance.

Faced with this pointed question, Azharia neither admitted nor denied it directly.

Although she was seen through, she trusted Wen Tai completely. Even if she signed the contract, her adoptive father, Wen Tai, would never sit idly by and watch her soul be easily taken away.

Just then, in the icy valley below, Su Lu's meticulously prepared dragon-hunting operation was finally about to begin!

Su Lu's figure slowly rose into the air and hovered in the center of the icy valley.

His surging magical power erupted like a boiling tide, resonating strongly with the massive contract array below that had already been constructed and covered the entire area.

Countless dark runes lit up one by one from the ground, flashing with an ominous light. They intertwined with each other, transforming into tangible dark chains that twisted and swayed in the air, emanating a chilling binding force.

His gaze was fixed intently on Austin, the Black Dragon Emperor, who lay prostrate on the ground, his breath weak and feeble.

His eyes gleamed with a mixture of greed and caution.

Although the Black Dragon was critically injured, the Emperor's remaining prestige was still intact, and Su Lu dared not be negligent in the slightest.

The next moment, he no longer hesitated. His figure transformed into a shooting star, carrying the immense power gathered from the entire magic array below, and he charged towards the mountain-like dragon body!

This movement was like sounding the clarion call for a general offensive.

The elite mages under Su Lu's command, who were surrounding the Ice Valley, simultaneously poured their magic power into the nodes of the magic array, causing the countless phantoms of dark chains to solidify several times over, resembling ferocious giant pythons.

They coiled around the Black Dragon Emperor's body from all directions, attempting to imprison him!
