Chapter 74 The Terrifying Demon Blood Pact

"Demon Blood Pact" is the true name of the contract that Kenmei Isayama signed with Fukushige. It is usually a contract used by chaotic forces to tempt humans into corruption.

As the chosen one of the four warp gods, Nyarlathotep, Isayama Kenmei's mentor, Ahriman, was well aware of, and even somewhat disdainful of, the specialties of most of the demons under Nyarlathotep's command.

Therefore, in "The Scarlet Letter," only a small section of the very first chapter recorded a little bit of information using an engraving. However, this limited knowledge was enough to deceive these monkeys who had never even seen psychic powers.

The first test subject, Fuhei Shen'er, has seen everything by now, and he didn't personally sell himself to Isayama Kenmei.

However, the contracts that Kenmei signed for one and gave away more than thirty copies were just things that those demons had already played with. Some contracts did not require a signature at all. Just touching the paper or even just seeing it meant that the contract was accepted. Moreover, the patterns on the contract could very well represent hundreds or thousands of other requirements, or some hidden language, which were impossible to guard against and could not be seen even with a microscope magnified hundreds of thousands of times.

Unlike Kenmei Isayama's contract, which had to adhere to the principles of fairness, transparency, and voluntariness between both parties.

A contract only becomes effective after the parties involved have signed their names.

This most ridiculous "Demon Blood Pact," modified by Kenmei Isayama, is also extremely terrifying. Once Fukushige signs it, his soul no longer belongs to him, and he needs Kenmei Isayama's permission even if he wants to commit suicide.

Although he is no different from Fuheishen in his daily life, he will go out and find women to fool around with.

However, once Isayama Kenmei uses the highest authority of the blood pact, it is equivalent to Isayama Kenmei directly giving orders to Fukushige. These are absolute orders, and Fukushige has no right to disobey.

Isayama Kenmei conducted an experiment where he had Fushiguro Jinji use Tennis to stab himself several times. After receiving the order, the man's eyes were filled with fanaticism, as if he had received the greatest honor. He stabbed wherever there was a major artery in his body, and blood flowed out like it was free.

The amount of bleeding was almost like a fountain, and in no time the ground was completely stained red.

If Kenmei Isayama hadn't stopped him, he suspected that Fukushige would have stabbed him to death without hesitation.

This is the forced obedience of the "Demon Blood Pact," so effective it's outrageous that even Kenmei Isayama was terrified (and applauded).

It makes one think that the most basic component of the empire's vast territory is still ordinary civilians, but every minute and every second they are bewitched by the Chaos Demons and may willingly become the emperor's traitors.

When the demonic whispers rang in their ears, even the mighty Astartes were too busy to help themselves. Ordinary commoners could only say "May the Emperor protect us"—how desperate that must have been.

Kenmei Isayama always felt that his art style was increasingly moving towards chaos and evil, feeding his enemies to the Tyranids, torturing them, and using their bones to make servo skulls, then tricking "ignorant middle-aged men" into using the "demon blood pact" in the warp to become his puppets.

I don't know how they came to regard Kenmei Isayama as having a saintly heart.

What I'm saying is, has the standard for "saintly compassion" become this bloody now?

After the "Demon Blood Pact", Fukushige became Kenmei Isayama's most loyal warrior.

In any case, a small team has been initially formed. [Scarab Terminator] is a tank, Fuheshen is a warrior and assassin, and Isayama Kenmei is a mage and summoner. With these two charging in front, he only needs to cast some buff spells from the rear to produce a terrifying effect.

There are quite a few beneficial spells in psionic magic.

For example, the psionic spell "Hand of the Hammer" has a simple and direct effect.

Cost: 400 mana

Effect: The blessed person will have their Strength attribute doubled in the next attack, causing twice the damage.

In short, the next attack will definitely deal double damage, which is equivalent to a critical hit.

If Kenmei Isayama were to bestow this spiritual blessing upon Shigehiro Fushiguro, the destructive power of his strike would be unparalleled; smashing an enemy's head would be no problem at all.

As for bestowing a psychic blessing upon the Scarab Terminator, Kenmei Isayama stated that his psychic abilities were not yet at that level.

To use an imperfect analogy, how can a paramecium bestow blessings upon an elephant?

【Scarab Terminator】Due to irreversible and extreme damage to its durability, this item is becoming increasingly rare with each use. Once its durability reaches zero, 【Red Warrior - Scarab Terminator】will be completely destroyed.

It was because of this that Kenmei Isayama always felt uneasy, which is why he came up with the idea of ​​finding a replacement. Coincidentally, at this time, "Heaven and Tyrant" Fushiguro Jinji appeared!

After Kenmei Isayama finished dealing with Jinji Fushiguro's matter, he saw Yomi Isayama anxiously waiting in the distance. He then composed himself, sighed, and realized there was something he really didn't know how to bring up with her.

It concerns who hired Fukushige to assassinate Isayama Yomi. Isayama Kenmei learned about the employer from Fukushige.

I truly regret it. Sometimes, knowing too much can actually make you feel bad.

"Xiao Ming, are you alright?"

Although Yomi Isayama was confident in the strength that Kenmei Isayama had shown in "crushing" Fushiguro Jinji, he knew better than to pursue a cornered enemy too far. Who knew what kind of tricks the "Heaven and Tyrant" might pull when he was driven to the brink?

"I'm fine, Sister Huang Quan."

"Also, I'm sorry, I lost track of Fuheshen'er."

The fewer people who know about the relationship between Kenmei Isayama and Jinji Fushiguro, the better; there's no need to make it a public spectacle.

Meanwhile, the benefits of faking Fukuro Jinji's death were not as high as those of being alive. Isayama Kenmei was still counting on this middle-aged man's "mage killer" identity to make money for him.

This guy has several valuable top-grade cursed artifacts, which shows how capable Fukushige is. Kenmei Isayama is also a little envious.

"Xiao Ming, I'm so glad you're alright."

Isayama Yomi wasn't surprised, after all, that was a terrifying existence in the world of sorcery. It was already astonishing that Isayama Kenmei, a "newcomer" sorcerer, could defeat and seriously injure Fushiguro Shigeru.

Then, Izayama Yomi summoned the members of the Spellcaster Association to handle the scene and reported that the group of cursecasters was backed by "Heavenly Tyrant" Fukuhei Jin'er, who had once single-handedly slaughtered half of the Zen-in family. The Spellcaster Association took this very seriously and, while surprised that Izayama Yomi was able to defeat Fukuhei Jin'er, raised the mission level and also gave Izayama Kenmei a larger share of the compensation.

"By the way, Sister Huang Quan."

Before parting, Kenmei Isayama said to Yomi Isayama...

"I haven't been to Sister Ming's place in a long time. Could you please tell her that I'd like to visit her?"

Chapter 75 Fratricide

The once-renowned exorcist family, the Isayama family, suffered the same fate of decline as their family. The total population, including Isayama Kenmei, was only five people (not counting servants).

Kenmei Isayama's mother, Hatsuho Kamo, had two older brothers: Naraku Isayama and Yu Isayama.

The eldest brother, Naraku, had a stronger talent for sorcery than the second brother, Yu, and Yu was also cowardly.

Therefore, the eldest brother, Isayama Naraku, naturally inherited the Isayama family and became the head of the family. He is now a retired first-level sorcerer who has been disabled and honorably retired. Meanwhile, Isayama Kenmei's second uncle is old and retired but is only a third-level sorcerer.

Isayama Naraku had no children of her own. She originally wanted to choose one of her sister's children, Isayama Kenmei and Isayama Sakura, as her heir, but neither of them had any talent for magic. So she had to adopt Isayama Yomi.

Although Isayama Kenmei's second uncle, Isayama Yu, wasn't particularly strong, he personally contributed to the continuation of the Isayama family and had a daughter.

The same "Sister Mei" that Isayama Kenmei mentioned to Isayama Yomi earlier.

He and Huang Quan's cousin is Isayama Mei.

My second uncle's talent in sorcery is terrible, but his daughter is quite talented. She became a first-level sorcerer by single-handedly exorcising two level-one cursed spirits. She obtained the senior title of the Sorcerer Association two years earlier than Isayama Yomi, so it's normal for her to have some savings.

In fact, Kenmei Isayama had always wanted to say whether the decline of the Isayama family was related to the good names these people had chosen. What virtue or ability did such a small family have to bring together names like "Naraku," "Yomi," and "Yuming"? But he was the youngest and couldn't say anything, and besides, Kenmei Isayama's name also contained the character "Ming."

Kenmei Isayama's second maternal uncle's family did not live with his elder brother, Naraku Isayama, in the Isayama family's ancestral home in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, but instead moved to Setagaya Ward.

Incidentally, Kenmei Isayama's house is in Nerima Ward, so he has to cross two wards of Tokyo to get to his sister's house.

When Kenmei Isayama arrived in front of an old house, a figure was already waiting there.

Wearing an elegant light blue kimono embroidered with orchids, with her long, white hair styled in an updo and adorned with a white bow, the young girl who looked somewhat like a Taisho-era beauty was Isayama Mei.

She held a small white floral umbrella in her hand to shield herself from the sun, looking quite elegant.

Isayama Mei's naturally cold face carried a hint of the eldest daughter's seriousness, as well as a sense of closeness to a long-lost relative. She watched her cousin slowly approach, a slight smile playing on her lips.

When I was a child, I was a little afraid of Kenmei Isayama. I don't know why her face was always so cold, so I spent more time with Sakura and Yomi.

"Sister Ming, it's been a long time."

Kenmei Isayama spoke first.

When we met again, everything had changed.

What Kenmei Isayama knew didn't make him particularly happy.

It really is true that life gets harder as you grow up. When they were little, the four of them were close in age, so they used to snuggle together and innocently whisper secrets to each other.

But at this moment, Sister Ming stood in the lush wisteria grove at the door, giving Isayama Kenmei a feeling that was both real and illusory, ethereal and uncertain, as if she might turn into a blue butterfly and fly away at any moment.

However, because he hadn't seen her for a long time and was reminded of his childhood experiences, Kenmei Isayama was unwilling to break the "long time no see" atmosphere with his first words.

"Yes, it's been a long time, Xiao Ming."

Isayama Mei and Isayama Kenmei exchanged a few words and greeted each other.

"Xiao Ming, come in first."

Kenmei Isayama followed behind Isayama. The garden looked very comfortable, with lush green vegetation and a waterwheel in the small pond, giving it a charming, flowing water feel. In short, it was a very charming Japanese garden style.

Where is my uncle?

The reason why Kenmei Isayama made Isayama Yomi greet him before visiting Isayama was because Kenmei Isayama didn't like his uncle, or perhaps they just didn't get along.

Isayama Yu was strongly opposed to Isayama Kenmei and Isayama Sakura returning to the Isayama family and gave them the name Isayama. Although they were her sister's children, they did not possess the magical powers of Jujutsu.

Fu is just a pathetic mortal. It would be better for them both to stay away from the world of magic forever and go to live with an ordinary family.

There's no need to get involved in the Isayama family's messy situation. Isayama Naraku also thinks this makes a lot of sense, so Isayama Kenmei and Isayama Sakura are basically left to their own devices. That's why they have a hard time. I don't interfere too much.

"Father has gone to visit an old friend; he won't be back for a while."

"So Xiaoming, you don't need to worry about him suddenly coming back."

Isayama Mei said calmly, "I also know, but I don't know why Xiao Mei is always indifferent to her father, Isayama Yu."

Upon hearing Isayama Mei's words, Isayama Kenmei also smiled helplessly.

They eventually sat down on the open-air balcony near the courtyard, with slices of watermelon brought by a servant.

"What's wrong, Xiao Ming? Don't you love watermelon the most?"

Mei Isayama moved the plate of watermelon closer to Kenmei Isayama and said in a puzzled tone.

Despite looking at the watermelon he liked, Kenmei Isayama remained unmoved, because although it was very bland, the girl next to him always had a faint smell of decay.
