The [Fantos Manuscript] was shining brightly .
Notifications popped up in Kieran's vision .
[High demon has voluntarily offered to sign a contract, Cost of signing greatly reduced…]
[1,000 Points to sign a Demon Contract, Yes/No?]
"1,000 Points?"
Compared to Louver, whose cost was sky high, the demon before Kieran was much cheaper .
Kieran hesitated though .
The high demon before him was definitely a monster that exceeded third dungeon difficulty . If he could kill it, he would acquire a Rare Rank piece of equipment, or even a Legendary one .
However, Kieran decided to sign a contract with the high demon instead .
The decision was simple . Kieran was quite fond of the high demon's illusional abilities . If he could use the demon's power with a mere 250-Point cost, he would gladly take it .
Although the item that might fall off the high demon might also possess such an ability, that was just an assumption .
Between gambling with his luck and sacrificing something for a positive outcome, Kieran decided to go with the latter .
"Yes!"
[Initiating Demon Contract, Target is a high-tier demon, Faction unknown, High compliance, Extremely Weak Condition, Calculating 1,000 Points . . . ]
[1,000 Points paid, Contract established!]
[Acquired Demon: Bloody Mary]
[Bloody Mary: An accident in the past caused the Blood Queen Tiara to give birth to the high demon . Bloody Mary has Lifesteal, Illusional and Hand-to-Hand Combat abilities . There are two forms available when summoning it: 1 . Blood Tiara form, a fixed, unchangeable form (one of its skills will be temporarily available in the summoner's skill slot); 2 . Human Disguise form, able to summon at any time (Bloody Mary will have access to all its skills) . ]
[Note 1: Each summoning will cost 250 Points, no matter if the summoner needs to complete one mission or use the demon for 10 minutes . ]
[Note 2: Bloody Mary is Heavily Wounded, Unable to summon for 60 days, 0/60]
"An accident in the past caused the Blood Queen Tiara to give birth to the high demon?"
After going through the description of Bloody Mary, a horrible feeling bloomed in Kieran's heart .
Every creature had a reason for being born .
When a human was pregnant with a child, the mother's appetite would increase as well .
Demons that were tethered to items suffered even harsher birth conditions . Not only did they require a sufficient amount of negative emotions, but the item itself had to be unique and a huge amount of energy was needed as well .
Which part of the Sunshine Mary would have the highest energy surge?
The auction room of those rare, priceless treasures .
Kieran rushed down the stairs and headed straight for the auction table .
The rooms on either side, the corridor he was sprinting through, and the table before his eyes were all so familiar .
"The illusions from before were all real?"
Kieran was shocked . He would never have thought that the illusions Bloody Mary had made him see had some truth to them .
Kieran unconsciously looked behind the curtain by the auction table .
If part of the illusion was real, then all the auction items and the beautiful lady in the cage would be behind the curtain .
When Kieran thought of the lady with the beauty of a crescent moon, his breathing became slow .
After a slight pause, he jumped up on the auction table and dragged open the curtains .
The curtains revealed a huge magic circle .
A magic circle formed by hundreds of piled-up bones . Its shape was like a flat whirlpool with the skulls at its center . The vertebral columns, ribs, humerus and femur bones were laid down like waves of ripples spreading out . On top of the skulls were the palms and the feet .
The feet bones were facing down and the palms up, forming a big strange bowl . On top of the bowl were a few rotten items .
After a quick glance over the items, Kieran knew that those were the items auctioned in the Sunshine Mary .
He unconsciously touched his chest, feeling a small heartache .
It was like a dozen of Legendary Rank items and pieces of equipment were waving goodbye at him . Kieran's body shivered uncontrollably .
He calmed himself down after 10 seconds .
Then he rushed up to the no longer functional magic circle and searched the rotten items, hoping to find some salvageable valuables .
The outcome was disappointing . None of the items had any value anymore .
Kieran sighed and walked away .
He wanted to know whether the beautiful lady really existed or not .
He saw the cage where she had been locked in the past . However, inside the cell was only a skeleton .
It was not that different from the skeletons used in the magic circle . The only difference was that the lady's skeleton was intact, while the others had been torn apart .
As he looked at the skeleton before his eyes, Kieran could not connect it to the beautiful lady in his memory . Judging by the outfit the skeleton was wearing though, it had to belong to her .
"Beauty will eventually fade off in the face of death . . . " Kieran muttered as he turned around .
He searched around the auction room, but made no further discoveries and went back up to the deck .
He had a general idea of what had really happened to the Sunshine Mary .
The Sunshine Mary had disguised itself as a luxurious ferry that transferred wealthy passengers from the West to the East and back, but it was in fact an auction venue that travelled by sea .
Not only did it auction off rare priceless treasures, but it also provided prostitution services . That particular service attracted more and more wealthy people, and more treasures were brought to the auction table as a result .
As more and more treasures gathered at one spot, this eventually attracted the attention of a mystical individual that was after both treasures and wealthy passengers .
Kieran even speculated that the mystical individual had been hired as a prostitute .
This was not a hard feat considering the Sunshine Mary's wealth . However, the mystical individual had wanted more than money from the job .
Given the circumstances, no matter what she had wanted to achieve, it would have been all too easy for her . And yet, she had still failed in the end .
The accident had given birth to the high demon and sped up the hatching of an inferior Hell Fiend Spider .
The most important point was that this accident had caused the Sunshine Mary to disappear .
Otherwise, considering the connections of all the wealthy passengers and the mystical individual on board, the crew would not have given up just like that .
The mystics also had their own organization . The man who had raised the demons was the best example of that . His death had produced the [Fantos Manuscript] .
The mystical individual on board, who had wanted to achieve her goal, must have sent the [Fantos Manuscript] and some other items away before the accident had occurred .
She had tried to ask for help .
"She still was not able to prevent her demise though!"
Kieran took a deep breath as he reached the deck again .
A notification was blinking in his vision .
