Devil Slave (Satan system)

Chapter 586 The Pain Of Betrayal And The Deal 2

The Purple light went into his body traveling all the way through his body, infecting every cell of his being.

Slowly, the purple light took over Clawed’s body, and then his lifeless eyes suddenly glowed in a purple light.

The Undead commander stood to his feet, and staggard a bit. Evidently turning Clawed into an undead had taken a bit of a toil on him.

“Rise!” he commanded.

Immediately, Clawed’s body as if having life rose to his feet, and then he turned to the undead commander and went down on one knee.

The undead commander nodded and then Clawed stood up and went to stand behind him.

Duncan watched Clawed walk away and wanted to touch him, but he stopped himself, pulling his hand back.

He felt really sad. A part of him could not help but regret his current actions.

Duncan could not help but remember when he made this deal.

It had been a long time ago while he and Clawed were still in the desert sands of the wasteland.

They had been on the run from their father after their narrow escape from the Arena of Waterfall City.

If not for the fact that Governor Momoa had been carried away with the glory of his victory and enjoying the pride and adoration of his people, he would have definitely caught them.

After all, even Clawed who was at the first rank of the Great Demon Realm was nothing compared to a peak powerhouse in the Great Demon Realm.

They knew that there was practically nowhere for them to run.

They were just fortunate that Governor Momoa’s overconfidence had gotten the better of him.

Nevertheless, they were still both strong entities. At least in this world, only one that was a great Demon existence was able to touch them.

Great demon existences did not move anyhow outside their own territory as it could create quarrels with other Great Demons.

Great Demons gave a natural wavelength from their bodies that was just that strong.

Duncan and Clawed had not been friends at all, and in fact, they had always hated each other and had multiple occasions tried to kill each other back home.

After all, at the time, they were competing amongst themselves for who would take over the Governor’s position.

However, as the saying goes: Misery loves company.

They shared a bond in misery and on their journey together, they fell in love.

However, it had not happened so magically. In fact, this particular undead commander was the catalyst for it.

Back then, even though Clawed had helped Duncan escape and they walked the wastelands together, both of them still greatly hated one another.

It was on the night of the blood moon that it happened.

Clawed had gone to sleep and Duncan made a campfire but the sight of the blood moon was a prettier view to enjoy.

And so he went a bit further from their campsite to enjoy this view. Besides, it was better to watch it over the human remains of the last war.

And that was when he saw it.

He witnessed it as a human slave that was supposed to be served up as a midnight snack bonded with a sapphire stone under the Blood Moon.

One look at this stone and he instantly, recognized it for what it truly was. After all, he was a demon with an influential heritage in this world.

He instantly knew that the Sapphire stone had been an invitation stone. This stone had been lying in the sands of this old battleground that was now fifty years old.

However, the will and desire of this slave to survive and have his revenge, mixed with his intense pain, regret, and the light of the blood moon as his own family ate from his fresh was the rejuvenating concoction that resurrected this Invitation stone.

Watching from a clear vantage point, Duncan looked on as the slave, given a power that allowed him to tear through demon flesh launched at the demons and rip them to pieces.

After this the slave did the same to his family that had fed on his flesh. And then the dead, both human and demon rose by the slave’s will to walk the earth again.

In the midst of it all, Duncan could not help but become excited by what he just saw and therefore approached the slave.

Naturally, it wanted to attack, but Duncan being a Demon of the Deep demon rank easily waved his hand, subduing it.

The slave struggled, but it was no use.

Duncan walked up to it, “The demon child you just killed, his father is a Great Demon, and he will come for you. However, I can help you. I can help you get power and get your revenge!”

Those words had caught the slave’s attention and he stopped struggling.

It was at this point that a deal was struck between the two.

Duncan instructed it on how to grow its power, outrightly drawing this slave that would later become the undead commander a map of the waste lands that he should follow.

This was a map of the easier settlements to the more complicated ones. In this manner, the Undead commander could increase his strength and numbers at a steady pace, and at the same time avoid the Great Demon Augustus.

Luckily, Great Demons did not move anyhow. This meant that Augustus would only send his minions to get the person that killed his son.

At the time, Duncan had greatly disliked Clawed and did not mind killing him.

Therefore, he promised to gift the Undead Commander Clawed’s body so as to increase his strength.

This way, the Undead commander had a better chance against Augustus.

However, Duncan was not dumb. He knew that Clawed would never let his guard down as there was no trust between them.

Therefore, he forced himself to reconcile with Clawed, and slowly, the two got closer until they fell in love.

This was both a fortunate and yet an unfortunate thing…
