Chapter 223: Contract With the Undead Archangel

Pierce decided to find the death holy artifact. This was his reward anyway.

The group decided to find the place where the summoning ritual was held.

Walking out of the small wooden house, Pierce held the golden light ball in his hand and floated in the air again, lighting up the surroundings.

At this moment, Pierce noticed that in the sea of corpses, there were black patterns on every corpse.

Pierce had seen these black patterns before when the Undead Archangel fought with other creatures. When the other party’s corpse was cut off, these black patterns would appear, be it bones or flesh.

Pierce also realized that the real cause of death was the summoned death holy artifact. According to the records given by the pope, this death holy artifact was a weapon from the Death God.

The good thing was that the Undead Archangel also had half the godhood of the Death God, so the two sides were very compatible. He would definitely be able to obtain this death holy artifact!

Pierce suddenly remembered that he had bought several Badge of Bonds and had planned to use it on the Undead Archangel but never did because he was not sure of it working.

But he wanted to try it now since this death holy artifact would probably be a very powerful weapon.

If he succeeded, he would also obtain half of the power of the Death God, or rather a quarter of the power since the Undead Archangel only had half of the godhood.

Pierce slowly stopped. Vivier and Frost looked at Pierce in confusion, wondering why he had stopped.

Under their puzzled gazes, Pierce took out a contract scroll from his backpack and turned around toward them.

The two of them had seen this contract scroll before. They had accepted this contract, so they naturally knew the use of this scroll.

However, Frost and Vivier were puzzled. Why was Pierce taking out the scroll now?

Under Frost’s puzzled eyes, Pierce handed the contract scroll to the silent Undead Archangel to sign it.

Soon, the contract began to take effect. The sudden change surprised Pierce. He had not expected to succeed.

The moment the contract was completed, black patterns instantly appeared on Pierce’s body. They began to spread from the back of his hand to his face, slowly condensing into strange patterns that gave Pierce a devilish charm.

The black patterns suddenly glowed. Immediately after, traces of mist began to appear on Pierce.

When the others saw this odorless mist, their expressions instantly changed. They quickly added a protective barrier to themselves. Frost and holy power instantly erupted in this space.

They were very familiar with this mist wrapped around Pierce. Wasn’t that the power of the Undead Archangel, the essence of death?

It seemed like Pierce had obtained a portion of the Undead Archangel’s power. At this moment, Pierce’s eyes were still closed.

He was trying his best to adapt to the death elements in his body and try his best to control them so that they would not leak out.

Only after obtaining this power did Pierce truly realize how vicious it was. Before, he was only able to watch it and did not really understand it.

He seemed to instantly understand the essence of death, but in the next moment, he forgot this essence. No matter how he thought about it, he could not imagine it.

If he tried to force it, he felt like his body would be dragged into the abyss. Fortunately, he stopped thinking about the essence of death.

He believed that as his strength slowly increased and the death element he controlled became stronger, this essence would appear in his mind again.

Pierce glanced at his affinity with the Undead Archangel.

He realized that their affinity was 100.

This meant that the Undead Archangel had no intention of betrayal.

Whether the other party had intelligence or not, he could not betray Pierce at all.

After all, there was no way to decrease the affinity level of 100. An affinity of 100 was impossible to get through normal ways.

At that moment, Pierce suddenly felt as if something had appeared in his mind. It was a dark stone. It looked very narrow, as if it were incomplete.

Pierce recognized this stone and even the runes carved on it. After all, this was the first godhood he had ever touched.
