You are all my wings!

"I really like your expression right now. I hope you can maintain the same state after you become my slave."

At this moment, he began to understand the mentality he had when watching TV dramas in his previous life, where the villain would repeatedly mock the opponent after successfully suppressing them.

Nothing else, it was really awesome.

She was hanged in front of him, but she was powerless to do anything about it and could only endure it with tears in her eyes.

"Then, let's begin the slave contract ceremony, Miss Machiru."

Lyon's magic power had now recovered to 35 points, and his reserves were relatively plentiful.

He took out various materials he had previously stored from the package behind him and began to draw a magic circle on the ground.

If you want someone to become your slave, you can use contract magic to sign a soul contract.

However, with the decline of soul-based magic in this world, the proper inheritance of contract magic has also become rare.

Lyon happened to have experience from his previous life and knew where he could find learning opportunities.

This same magic was used when I made a contract with Biskichi before.

Undeniably, his words and actions towards Machiru just now were also a prelude to this magic.

Chapter 104 Slave Contract

Contract magic is not always effective.

The essence of this magic is to use a very powerful party to suppress the will of the other party.

Only through further manipulation, deception, and promises, can the contracted party accept their impending subjugation and thus activate the magic.

Like when Leon made a contract with Bisqi, he used a betting method to put Bisqi at a psychological disadvantage and used the bet to make her accept the fact that she was about to be contracted. That's how Leon successfully made the contract.

Methods such as coercing, torturing, or physically assaulting someone before directly engaging in a contractual ritual have a very low success rate.

This requires striking the right balance.

A balance that allows the other party to appropriately acknowledge that they are one's master.

Coincidentally, the "Trust Aura" skill can appropriately enhance the control over this degree.

Maggie watched as Leon quickly drew a magic circle and soon panicked.

"You really know contract magic?"

“Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to keep a fourth-tier expert like you, who also possesses curse magic, by my side. And most importantly, if we want to leave this place full of monsters safely later, it would be best to cooperate, wouldn’t it? This is already the 41st floor, and fifth-tier monsters are the norm here.”

Maggie remained silent.

"Speaking of which, since you considered the consequences of divine magic back then, you should have thought of backup plans in case such a thing happened, right? Don't tell me you were so focused on exploring the mysteries of the gods that you never did a risk assessment."

"Of course! How could I not have a backup plan?"

Maggie almost cracked her voice; the feeling of being looked down upon by Leon was truly awful.

"Then tell me."

"..."

Maggie turned her head away.

Lyon was shocked: "No way, you really haven't considered it?"

“I had considered it, but I didn’t expect that the suppression of Divine Might Magic would have so many negative effects on me.”

The negative impact that Machiru mentioned is clearly the mental pollution caused by the demon bloodline within her.

She was unaware that Lyon was fully aware of her situation, so she used "negative impact" to refer to mental pollution.

"I see. So you've overestimated yourself. Look, dear Miss Machiru, if you try to explore the mysteries of the gods on your own, aren't you likely to suffer a great loss?"

Leon continued to entice Maggie.

He had almost finished drawing the magic circle. The auxiliary materials were all common magic blood or common magic casting organs from monsters. They were all very simple. Leon had collected many of these things along the way.

The next step is to cast a spell while making Magir acknowledge her submission.

"I know about contract magic. I'm not an ordinary spellcaster, I'm a witch! My knowledge of all kinds of rare magic far exceeds your imagination! You want me to acknowledge you as the master so that the contract magic can succeed, right?"

Maggie jumped up again like a fish, trying to erase Leon's magic circle.

"As expected of you, Machiru. But this is your only choice. If you don't choose, I will have to kill you. Although I will regret that your talents could not be used for my purposes."

Leon drew his magic sword and slashed it at Machiru's ear with a loud thud.

This scene startled her; she stopped jumping around and pouted.

Lyon ignored him; his attempts to be cute were ineffective.

"I will now begin the spell. The incantation will end in ten seconds. If the contract fails, I will have no choice but to send you to meet Satan."

Unfortunately, the halo of trust didn't seem to be as effective as Lyon had imagined in getting Maggie to admit her submission.

Is it because it was used before and had an effect, so the effect of the second use was interfered with by the previous one?

Lyon thought regretfully, bit his finger, dripped blood into the center of the magic circle, and then began to chant.

The chant lasted only a dozen seconds, yet it seemed to last an incredibly long time.

Maggie gritted her teeth and resolutely refused to admit it.

As the incantation ended, the magic circle began to light up with beautiful magical light as Lyon's magic power was poured in.

……

Let's rewind to a few minutes earlier.

"There are fifth-tier monsters everywhere here. Hopefully, Lyon is in better condition."

Iris waved her wand, sweeping aside the third-order goblin that had fallen to its death in front of her, and gazed into the distance.

The surrounding terrain was very complex, with rugged roads covered with hard, jagged rocks, and even the soles of my boots felt a slight stinging sensation when I stepped on them.

The distant horizon was too dark to see at all.

On both sides are large, steep cliffs, smooth as if cleaved by a giant sword. Occasionally, reddish-brown pebbles fall from the top of the cliffs, and no plants grow on them.

In the darkness, it seemed as if this was a road leading to hell.

Ahead of the road, there were huge pits from time to time, forcing Iris to walk with extreme caution, lest she fall into some unknown place again.

The area below the 40th floor is known as the underground labyrinth, where countless powerful adventurers of the fourth rank and above have been buried.

These are not the most terrifying things.

Instead, the roars of monsters could be heard from all directions around, far more intimidating than the roars of wild beasts.

The sound contained powerful vibrations, which perfectly demonstrated the ferocity of various fourth and fifth-tier demons.

Fifth-tier monsters, even weak ones, are not easy to deal with.

After all, monsters that have survived so many tribulations and grown to this stage must have some very powerful skills.

Of course, it wouldn't be so bad if it were just a few individuals, but if there were a large number, Iris knew she absolutely couldn't handle it.

Therefore, she was very cautious the whole way, and after falling here, she did her best to hide her presence and avoid being targeted by the monsters.

"Hmm? There's a dazzling light from a magic circle ahead?"

Iris keenly sensed a very faint light coming from several dozen meters ahead.

To ordinary monsters and intelligent species, this light is basically no different from ordinary light.

But for Iris, the Light Elementalist, it was as striking as seeing familiar words.

She could even discern from the magical aura that the magic seemed to originate from Leon, whom she knew very well.

This surprised and delighted her.

"It must be him. I didn't expect to be so lucky to find Leon first. He must be missing me a lot right now. I wonder if he's trembling with fear down here on the 41st floor, calling out for Iris to come and save him."

Iris suddenly started daydreaming.

She knew, of course, that Leon wouldn't have said such a thing in such a cowardly manner; it was pure wishful thinking.

She, who always relied on Leon, also wanted to be relied on by Leon.

With this joyful feeling, she quickened her pace as she walked forward.

However, to avoid being discovered by the monsters, she carefully maintained the balance of her aura.

She quickly arrived at the huge pit, took a look, and then jumped in!

Having the magic to fly, she was naturally not afraid of this height.

She didn't even need to use flight magic to get through the eighty-meter-deep pit; a basic light thrust spell was enough to cushion the impact.

This magic uses light to create a near-tangible stream of light particles, which then generate thrust.

Because its power is relatively ordinary, it is usually only used for training the materialization of light magic, but it is suitable for this occasion.

However, when Iris landed, the joyful expression on her face froze.

The scene before her eyes was impacting every nerve in her brain:

"What...what are you doing?"

Chapter 105 Iris: What are you doing?

Iris felt as if a string in her brain had snapped.

What she saw was this scene:

She was only wearing underwear, her slender body, with large expanses of snow-white skin clearly visible, kneeling in front of Leon, doing who-knows-what.

There was a long rope at Lyon's feet, made of sap moss vines and red spider silk, but he didn't know what it was for.

Leon's hand seemed to be grabbing the girl's face, but due to the angle, the specific action couldn't be seen, and it was unclear what he wanted to do.

There was a drop of blood on the ground; I don't know what it was for.

Hearing her words, Leon turned around.

Iris could see surprise and astonishment in Leon's eyes, but no remorse for doing something wrong.

For some reason, this made Iris feel a little relieved.

But she still had a lot of questions and doubts about the situation on the scene.

"Lyon, what were you doing just now?"

She didn't recognize Maggie.

On one hand, Machiru's face was mostly covered by Leon's body; on the other hand, Leon confiscated Machiru's magic robe and magic wand.

Both of these items are easily recognizable; they are both Tier 4 items, and are very rare and high-quality equipment among mainstream Tier 4 adventurers.

“Iris, it may seem a bit complicated to you, but the situation is actually quite simple. For safety reasons, I have made this woman a slave.”

Lyon was speechless, realizing that Iris had seen him in such an awkward situation.

At the last moment, Machiru reluctantly acknowledged Leon as her master, allowing the contract magic to take effect.

Although Maggie probably still harbors a lot of resentment, more interaction is needed to convince her.

But most importantly, there's no longer any need to worry about Maggie hurting herself.

This is also the core of contract magic. Once the contract is established, if Machiru takes any direct or indirect action that harms Leon, she will suffer a severe mental shock.

Although Machiru often suffers from mental pollution, her tolerance for it is probably not weak.

But Leon also added a lot of extra stuff to the contract magic.

In short, this little girl has temporarily become one of our own.

Of course, she certainly wouldn't obediently work for Leon; she would definitely try various methods to exempt herself from the constraints of the contract magic, and it wouldn't be surprising if she caused all sorts of trouble.

However, in the short term, this person can become a fighting force.

Putting everything else aside, her curse magic will be extremely useful in the subsequent survival operation on the 41st underground floor.
