Chapter 810 Truce
The two sides slowly gathered together. The Heaven Demons floated to Lalatina's side because she couldn't casually leave the Undead Fallen Angel Mage alone until Juju left its body.
"Master, should I help her?" Elena asked.
She was upset that she wasn't able to fully display her full prowess, so she wanted to help instead.
"Let her be. Krives, can you tell me where the angels are infiltrating?" Lawrend asked.
He wanted to know the location of the portal the angels were using to enter the Demon World. After showing his strength, it would be easy for him to command them.
Lawrend needed the help of these Heaven Demons to fight back against the angels and the other two great clans. He wasn't even sure if the Ignis Clan was still left standing.
If he didn't return to the Human World with sufficient backup, he would end up losing. He was, after all, against the angels of the Goddess.
He was annoyed at her because she didn't even try to stop them. If only he could spank her and teach her a lesson.
"They are entering through the main portal under us. Hundreds and hundreds of angels traverse through every minute. Most of them are pushed back, but some of them are killed," Krives answered without holding anything back.
She answered his question to gauge his intentions. Her beautiful eyes stared straight through him to understand his current emotions.
Lawrend didn't show much of a response. He frowned and thought about things.
It seemed like the angels were not trying to forcefully enter the Demon World. They also weren't sending any Heaven Mage-level angels.
The Heaven Demons were on guard against that, which was why they were here in the first place. They would be the ones to fight the Heaven Mage-level angels if they traversed through the portal.
"Any Heaven Mage-level angels?" Lawrend asked.
He couldn't tell if there were any from the tone of her voice.
"None."
Lawrend was surprised. His mind whirred and his powerful soul immediately thought of a conspiracy.
What if the angels were simply trying to keep the demons out of the Human World? If they were really insistent on invading, they wouldn't do it this slow.
A battle of attrition at this pace would benefit neither side.
"Don't you want to counterattack and invade the human world instead?" Lawrend asked.
"Impossible! The Primitius and Altro continent have more than a dozen Heaven Mages each. If we try to invade, we will lose in a matter of months," Krives replied and vehemently shook her head in disagreement.
If they could do something like that, they would have already done so long ago. Besides, she didn't even mention the strength of the angels.
Those shitty angels would definitely join the humans' side just to wipe them all out.
"Do any of you know what is going on in the Human World?" Lawrend grimly asked.
His face darkened as he realized that something was up. The whole situation was very suspicious to him.
"No. Why would someone from the Human World ask such a question?" Krives replied jeeringly.
She couldn't help but release a little bit of her frustration on him.
"I will explain in detail after all of you sign a soul contract with me," Lawrend replied.
What he would say next might upset all of them. There was a huge chance they would take it out on him.
They might possibly risk it all to kill him to make sure that no outsider was in the Demon World. This would ensure that they would be able to preserve their race.
Krives looked at the others. They became suspicious of him. Nevertheless, they understood that he had some reservations, so they didn't pick on him.
And so, the group watched the Undead Fallen Angel Mage shiver and make odd movements once in a while. Aezel had already retrieved Juju's body and carried it as she flew beside Lawrend.
No one from each side spoke. They were all curious and nervous about Juju's possession.
An hour later, black smoke suddenly billowed out of the cracks and crevices of the Undead Fallen Angel Mage's skeletal body.
They coalesced together and the darkness mana faded away. It revealed Juju's injured soul floating there.
She ached in pain. She kept trying to possess the body of the Undead Fallen Angel Mage, but her soul was too incompatible with it.
Thus, she decided to give up. The pain she was experiencing now was caused by the natural dissipation of her unprotected soul.
It wasn't as bad as the pain she felt in the body of the skeleton, but it was many times more damaging. If she stayed out for too long, there was a huge chance that she would dissipate and die forever without the chance of reincarnating.
Lawrend swooped in and waved his hand. He used a combination of darkness magic and space magic to gently move her soul over to his side.
He embraced her and sent a bit of his soul's energy to heal her damaged soul. His powerful soul energy was like a tonic.
Juju felt refreshed. Her tired mind cleared up, and the pain disappeared as if it was an illusion.
"Rest now. You did well," Lawrend said and smiled.
He waved his hand and pushed her soul to her lifeless body. Her hibernating heart and slumbering mana roared back to life.
A small bit of her darkness mana leaked out at that short moment.
"Shall we?" Lawrend asked and looked over to Krives' side.
Krives and her group nodded their heads. They flew forward and simultaneously created the soul contract with their own terms.
Lawrend picked out what he thought was best and fair before sending it back to them. The two sides made a few back and forth before they settled on a soul contract that they both thought was fair.
Their souls glowed brightly and a small part of them flew away and integrated with Lawrend's. Likewise, some bits and pieces of Lawrend's soul flew to the empty parts of their souls and fit in them like a jigsaw puzzle piece.
