I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 92: Small Gifts
What Mavis doesn't know is that the reaction felt when receiving a blood contract, between a demon and a human are two completely different things. They demons basically had a higher standard of living than humans, just like those soldiers. Thus, the demons would only receive a slight pressure from the blood contracting ability. Moreover, do not forget that this blood contract came from an inheritance guarded by an old demon king.
"So that's it." Mavis could only sigh heavily after hearing the explanation from Mikaela. He glanced back and watched how the blood contract judgment process was still continuing.
Waiting for a moment with anxious feelings, finally after going through a great struggle between life and death, the soldiers reappeared from behind the black smoke by taking on a new appearance. The red circle slowly dimmed and the black fog smoke that had previously billowed started to spread and then slowly disappeared. Now it can be clearly seen their new look of the soldiers.
"Hows it? Do you like it?" Mavis.
"Prince, this ...."
"My body feels twice as light as before. I felt my body strengthening from within, my vitality surging, and all my senses had become sharper." The soldier replied while punching the air with his fist. He smiled widely and occasionally chuckled cheerfully. The true warriors still could not believe, that there was a miracle to be able to obtain such great power instantly. They were still correcting their bodies while looking at Mavis in a happy gaze. They were very grateful, because they were not wrong in choosing to follow the prince.
"Thank you Prince." The soldiers immediately paid their respects to Mavis half-kneeling.
Actually, there was something stuck in their minds. It was about what the prince had just done to all of them. They also worry that it has a negative impact in the long run. However, they did not dare to ask because the prince had said that it was a gift from him, which meant that it was impossible to harm them. And also according to the rules, they should not doubt the decision of the prince.
"It's nothing, you can relax with it. Moreover, that power is needed for you to be my protector. And also, this is just a small gift because you guys have decided to become my loyal soldiers. In the future if you have enough services, I will benefit far more than this."
Mavis chuckled and told everyone to get back up. Besides, they've been there too long. The journey is quite far and Mavis wants to get to the border area as soon as possible. He immediately instructed the others to return to the horse.
"Okay, Prince!" The soldiers answered with great enthusiasm. Each of them began to instill thoughts in the heart, that they should try more to gather services to get more benefits from the prince.
The group continued their journey.
Passing through the field with weeds along the road, the barren land, and finally arrived at the southern border region of the kingdom. It counted two more days of travel, as their entourage rode horses at a normal speed.
Actually Mavis could have reached the southern border region with a day trip. It was as easy as turning a palm, if he relied on the help of the Star's spell, for the horses to be stronger and move faster. It was just that he suddenly changed his mind to arrive there for longer. He wanted to relax on his journey before meeting the people at the border, who would definitely refuse his arrival.
Especially Baron Gustav, the ruler of the previous settlement that occupied the place. Mavis was definitely not a fool, after hearing the baron's crimes and ugliness from Kayle, she knew exactly what kind of person the baron was. Things will definitely get more difficult when Mavis takes over. The baron would definitely act immediately to look for trouble with him once Mavis' entourage arrived.
Therefore, since the annoying thing was already waiting for him far ahead, why didn't he relax first? He could enjoy the soothing gusts of wind and see the sky full of stars. At least he could enjoy life in this world, he did not want to waste it.
