Chapter 12: Failed Contract

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Gary’s shameless behavior instantly earned the scorn of Alice and Charles.

After all, if it was decided based on who had the most contributions, then this spiritual beast obviously belonged to Adrian, who had contributed the most.

However, the kind Adrian did not care much about this. Although he yearned to have a spiritual beast, he felt that since they were able to capture one so quickly, they would definitely encounter other spiritual beasts. Furthermore, they could even use the same method to capture spiritual beasts.

Therefore, Adrian had no objections to who should be given the first spiritual beast.

However, even if Adrian was willing to suffer a loss, Alice was not willing to see him suffer. After all, she had long been unhappy with Gary’s character!

“The first spiritual beast will belong to whoever contributed the most.” Alice simply ignored the excited Gary and made a straightforward decision.

Charles nodded in agreement. He looked at Adrian with great admiration and said, “Brother, you just exchanged your life for this spiritual beast. You’ve done your best, so it should belong to you.”

Adrian immediately flashed a humble look and laughed out loud. “This is the result of everyone’s hard work. Without you guys, we wouldn’t have been able to capture such a terrifying creature. Therefore, regardless of who gets the spiritual beast, it doesn’t matter.”

“No means no. You have to accept this Armored Mane Pig first.” Alice simply felt a headache when she saw the generous Adrian. She kept pushing the spiritual beast towards Adrian, but he insisted on passing it on to someone else. Wasn’t this torturing her?

Furthermore, if the civilians of St. Paul City knew about this, they would definitely scold Adrian and call him a fool.

After all, it was extremely difficult to encounter spiritual beasts and even harder to capture them. They were lucky to have encountered one this time, but they might not be able to encounter one the next time.

As Gary listened to their conversation, his happy expression slowly turned extremely cold.

He secretly clenched his fists. He was extremely angry!

The spiritual beast that he wanted the most was right in front of him, yet he was obstructed by these two damned fellows! In particular, that detestable Alice was always going against him!

The more Gary thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, he couldn’t bear the unfairness in his heart and said angrily on the spot, “Why? I’ve also put in effort before, so why aren’t you letting me choose first?”

Charles was stunned. He really could not understand what Gary was saying.

He felt that the most Gary had done was help set up the trap. From the beginning to the end, he did not contribute as much as Adrian and Alice had. Why did he have the guts to enjoy the priority of choosing?

Thus, Charles said solemnly, “Gary, this was Adrian’s idea. He was also the one who lured the Armored Mane Pig over and he almost lost his life. Therefore, this spiritual beast naturally belongs to him first. How can you fight with Adrian over it?”

“But didn’t Adrian say it was okay? He agreed. Why do you still object?”

“So what if this spiritual beast belongs to me first? I’ll also help you capture some later on.”

Gary was extremely angry and wanted to persuade Alice and Charles, but because of his poor performance just now, he could not make them change their minds in the end.

Alice said in an irrefutable tone, “I’m the Captain. I’ll decide how to distribute this captured spiritual beast. This matter is settled.”

“Adrian, hurry up and make a contract with this Armored Mane Pig. Don’t let it break free or it’ll be difficult to deal with.” Alice encouraged Adrian, her firm gaze clearly hinting that Adrian shouldn’t have any other concerns.

Adrian saw that the spiritual beast was struggling even harder in midair and was worried that something would go wrong. Thus, he could only nod and say, “Alright, I’ll go make a contract with it first.”

Then, while Gary looked at him with a gaze full of jealousy, Adrian made his way below the Armored Mane Pig.

He raised his right hand, closed his eyes, and began to chant. “The evil spirit is chanting, rushing out of the ruins and starting a holy blood sacrifice. The despair of a blooming hell lives in endless darkness and coldness, and crawls in the sin of blood and death. In the inescapable darkness, please establish a sacred contract with me…”

Then, a beam of brilliant black metallic light rose up and surrounded the spiritual beast, which was continuously struggling in midair.

However, just as Adrian was about to successfully complete the contract, the body of the Armored Mane Pig suddenly began to tremble violently. It even let out a strange and painful cry, interrupting the process of forming the contract.

Adrian opened his eyes and looked at the Armored Mane Pig above him in surprise. He was very puzzled and quickly asked, “Alice, did I succeed or fail? Why don’t I feel any difference in my body?”

Alice furrowed her eyebrows slightly and muttered to herself, “You failed, but that shouldn’t be the case. A Level-1 spiritual beast doesn’t even have a threshold to form a contract. How could it have failed?”

“Wait…” Alice suddenly realised something with a shock.

She quickly and seriously observed the Armored Mane Pig that was becoming weaker and weaker. She immediately recalled the similar situation she had encountered earlier and said uneasily, “This Armored Mane Pig is ill. I don’t know what illness it has, but its symptoms seem to be similar to the Flaming Wind Fox we encountered yesterday!”

“What? It’s ill?” Gary was the first to cry out. He’d been so happy over the failure of Adrian’s contract that he hadn’t expected to hear such bad and unacceptable news.

Even if Gary couldn’t bear to part with a sick spiritual beast, he didn’t dare to take it because he was afraid that something would go wrong at the critical moment, just like Richard’s Flaming Wind Fox.

However, this spiritual beast was clearly energetic and lively just now. Why did it become so weak after the contract failed?

At the thought of this, Gary’s heart was bleeding. He looked at Adrian unkindly and said angrily, “This spiritual beast was still crazily crashing into the tree just now. It was so strong. Why did it suddenly get infected with a strange disease?”

Adrian knew Gary was trying to push the blame on him, but how could he know what was going on?

However, Adrian quickly realized a problem he had often ignored.

All the spiritual beasts that he had approached seemed to fall ill eventually!

Adrian fell into deep thought, but the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
