American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

Chapter 4, please welcome a male guest from Hell!

"Who is it that summons me?"

A deep, hoarse voice came from the center of the magic circle.

At the same time, the room started to heat up.

The pungent smell of sulfur became stronger.

"Cough cough~"

"You, f*ck, I mean, great demon of Hell..."

Chu Xiu was almost choked and almost cursed.

Luckily, he quickly changed his words.

"I am your devout follower in the mortal world."

"Now I am in trouble in the mortal world and urgently need to borrow your power, the more the better."

Chu Xiu spoke more smoothly.

He almost wrote the words "lend me 300 bucks" on his face.

"..."

Chu Xiu finished speaking, but the voice in the magic circle fell silent.

...

At the border of Hell.

A demon with a human body and a horse face, with wings on its back and fiery red skin, was hesitating for a long time.

"I... I actually have a follower?"

Nastier couldn't believe it.

A follower!

This is a treatment only those famous big shots in Hell have!

Because only those big shots have the ability to spread their reputation to other dimensions and recruit followers.

And it, just a demon captain who works 996 every day at the border of Hell.

After a brief shock, Nastier decided to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

...

Boom!

The flames in the magic circle surged again.

The crimson hellfire soared over a meter high.

In the flames, Nastier's figure gradually appeared, first the head, then the upper body.

Chu Xiu took a look.

Wow!

What a big horse face!

"Tell me, my follower, what do you want?"

"Is it endless wealth? Or making all women flock to you?"

"Or is it the power of life and death?"

"I can give you all of these, and you only need to give a little..."

Nastier appeared while imitating the tone of those big demons who seduce people.

"Stop."

"I just said, I need power, the stronger the better."

Before Nastier could finish speaking, Chu Xiu couldn't wait to interrupt it.

Joking aside, he was summoning a demon in the student dormitory of Kamar-Taj. If he was discovered, he would be kicked out in minutes.

"..."

Nastier, who was interrupted, almost stumbled.

It took half a second for it to continue.

"No problem, my follower, I can grant you unmatched power, and you only need to..."

...

"Understood."

"You want a soul, right? No problem! Did you bring the contract?"

Chu Xiu interrupted again.

Why does this demon talk so much?

Hurry up!

I'm waiting to sign the contract!

"..."

"I brought it."

An old sheepskin parchment fell into Chu Xiu's hands.

Without hesitation, Chu Xiu immediately signed the name of Mordo.

"Your name is Mordo?" Nastier asked casually.

But this question is not important. It doesn't matter who signs the name. What matters is who signed the contract.

The Fiend's Covenant binds the soul.

Not the name on the paper.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it takes effect."

Chu Xiu had obviously done his homework.

He waved his hand.

"Hurry up and give me your power."

"..."

Looking at the impatient Chu Xiu, Nastier finally felt that something was not quite right.

It looked around, and the ancient architectural style seemed a bit familiar.

It seemed to have been mentioned by some big shot before.

Also...

In the corner, those two eerie symbols drawn with chalk made it feel creepy.

But now it's too late to regret.

The contract has already taken effect!

While feeling suspicious, Nastier reluctantly transferred nearly half of its demonic power to Chu Xiu.

Just after the transfer...

Nastier regretted it. This is half of its lifetime cultivation!

Although it took advantage in the contract, lending out half of its power for one year, after one year, Nastier would be able to take back this power and the soul of the human in front of it.

But...

Nastier couldn't be happy!

Although I made a profit, I always have a feeling of being forced to buy and sell.

"Hehe, is this what it feels like to have power?"

After obtaining the demonic power of Nashtir, a hellfire ignited in Chu Xiu's eyes.

His eyes turned crimson.

An uncontrollable evil aura emanated from him.

[Ding!]

[Abnormal energy detected!]

[The exorcism system is purifying for you!]

Accompanied by the sound of the system prompt.

The next second.

Within Chu Xiu's body, the demonic power that originally belonged to an external force suddenly became extremely obedient.

Just like a power he was born with!

"Hmm!?"

In the hexagram array, Nashtir, who had completed the contract and was preparing to leave, suddenly became startled.

That huge horse face stared fixedly at Chu Xiu.

"What have you done?"

"What have you done!?"

Nashtir panicked.

Because it suddenly couldn't sense its other part of power.

The demonic power within Chu Xiu's body was still there, but the spiritual imprint that belonged to it was gone!

The borrowed power...

Can't sense it anymore?

"This can also be purified?"

Chu Xiu didn't expect it either.

The so-called 'exorcism' even targeted the spiritual level.

And as the connection between the demonic power and Nashtir was erased, the contract turned into waste paper.

Because Nashtir didn't have any demonic power mortgaged to Chu Xiu.

So the contract is ineffective!

Definitely.

Even if it were effective, it wouldn't matter.

Because Chu Xiu had no intention of returning it at all _(:з」∠)_

"You deceived me?"

"Human! Damn human!!!"

Nashtir, who sensed the deception, instantly raged.

Raising a demonic arm.

Just about to make a move.

Two exorcism arrays that Chu Xiu had set up in the room lit up with a white light at the same time.

Whoosh!

In an instant.

Nashtir disappeared without a trace.

Along with it, the smell of sulfur in the room also disappeared.

Even the air was 'purified' once.

Instantly becoming fresh!

...........

Kamar-Taj Library.

Wang, who was reading a book, suddenly looked up.

"This level of fluctuation... it's a formation to banish a lord of hell!"

"No, it's even stronger!"

"And there are two of them!"

Wang was stunned.

This level of formation.

Perhaps only the Ancient One in the entire Kamar-Taj could set it up.

But...

Kamar-Taj hasn't been invaded by a lord of hell, right?

Wang expanded his spiritual power and carefully searched through Kamar-Taj, but found nothing.

Not to mention a lord of hell.

He didn't even see the shadow of a demon.

Nashtir and the traces it left behind had already been completely erased by the exorcism patterns drawn by Chu Xiu.

"Elder Ancient One?"

Wang tried to use a telepathic spell to call the Ancient One.

But there was no response.

................

At the same time.

At the border of hell.

Nashtir, with a human body and a horse face, was thrown down heavily by a white light.

Crashing into the flowing magma.

"Human!!!"

"Ah ah ah!!!"

"Damn it!"

"Modu!!! You deserve to die!!!!"

Nashtir, struggling, climbed out of the magma pool.

Cursing and gnashing its teeth, the features on its horse face twisted together.

"Captain Nashtir?"

At this moment, a low-level demon discovered Nashtir by the edge of the magma.

Nashtir, who was still angry, didn't say a word.

It just grabbed the low-level demon and started attacking.

Just as it was about to make a move...

Nashtir realized something was off.

"Hey, wait, wait, no!"

After losing half of its power, Nashtir, after being struck by that strange white light, found that its strength had fallen to a level even lower than that of a low-level demon.

"..."

After being beaten up.

Nashtir, covered in injuries, lay flat on the ground.

A drop of magma slid down from the corner of its eye.

This year, it was 970 years old, and a fire was burning in its heart.
