Chapter 265 Dwarf King Accepts The Offer, Signing The Magic Contract
"Moreover, if you win, you can use the favor that I owe you to request me to even let you defeat the Elf King and obtain their resources and even territory."
"Although it's only limited to one favor, that favor is almost limitless in terms of requesting me to do something for you."
When the Dwarf King heard Alister's words, it would be a lie if he wasn't tempted by such a lucrative offer.
After all, even the favor owed by other grand-level powerhouses wouldn't go as far as the favor promised by Alister.
To have the favor of such a powerful Grand Mage and Grand Warrior, the Dwarf King was very tempted to accept it and spar with Alister.
As for whether he would lose, the Dwarf King felt that if not for his indecisiveness due to perspective and status as the king of the dwarves, he would have already agreed to Alister's offer.
However, he carried the responsibility of leading the dwarf race to prosperity. He didn't want to become the sinner of the dwarf race by making impulsive decisions that would lead to the downfall of the dwarf race. n.-o-(v.)e)-l)-B./I-(n
'I don't think I would even lose this spar with this human. Without mana and aura, even a Grand Warrior such as himself can't rely on his body's physical strength alone to defeat me in a battle.'
'Furthermore, the lack of aura will prevent him from reinforcing the tree branch. Even if he uses sword intent or any battle intent, it still wouldn't be enough to defeat me who can use both aura and battle intent.'
'As long as I play it safe and win this one, the dwarf race will usher in a new era of prosperity after I use the favor to request this human to deal with the Elf King.'
While the Dwarf King was weighing the pros and cons of his current situation, he replied to Alister's offer, "Sure, I agree. If I can't even defeat you with those harsh handicaps, I will be known as the cowardly king of the dwarf race."
Hearing the Dwarf King's reply, Alister snapped his finger and a scroll and pen appeared, "Since you agree, then we can sign the contract. I swear on my mana core, my aura heart, and the Goddess of Fantasy that I didn't tamper with the contract."
After assuring the Dwarf King, Alister signed the contract using the pen that appeared alongside it.
Passing the contract to the Dwarf King, the Dwarf King slightly trusted Alister due to the oath he had sworn. Nevertheless, the Dwarf King still meticulously read the contract and after discovering that there weren't any loopholes written on it and it was the same terms that they had agreed before, he signed the contract.
The magic contract was very common in the world of Fantasia. One could impose punishments if any of the two parties who signed the contract didn't fulfill the end of their deal.
The punishment would vary according to the punishment agreed upon in the contract. But by default, the punishment would be death.
However, in the magic contract signed by Alister and the Dwarf King, failure to abide by the terms stated in the contract would let the other party have ownership of the other party.
In other words, the punishment will be becoming the slave of the other party.
With how cautious Alister was, he signed this magic contract because he knew that even if he didn't fulfill the end of his deal, he wouldn't be affected by the punishment caused by the contract.
Of course, it wasn't due to tampering with the magic contract or the fact that he created the magic contract. Even those who created the magic contract wouldn't be able to escape from the punishment imposed by the magic contract unless they left exploitable loopholes in the magic contract.
It was the reason why the Dwarf King made sure to read the magic contract to find any exploitable loopholes. Because of that, Alister didn't add any loopholes in the magic contract. After all, he didn't need to.
Even if he didn't fulfill his end of the deal, Alister was confident that he could use his negation superpower to negate the effects of the magic contract.
Usually, the only way to negate the punishment of the magic contract was to be stronger than the one who created the magic contract.
So if the Dwarf King was the one who created the magic contract, then Alister could easily negate the punishment of the magic contract since he was stronger than the Dwarf King. Due to that, the Dwarf King didn't create an aura contract since he knew that it was futile to do so.
The aura contract was the other equivalent of the magic contract and both the aura contract and magic contract have the same effects.
Furthermore, even if Alister set any loopholes in the magic contract, the reason why the Dwarf King didn't think that Alister would go back on his words was due to the oath that Alister had sworn.
As a Six-Digit World, the world will and world laws in the Hero And Demon King Magic Fantasy World was powerful enough to impose punishment on an oath.
Of course, that would only take effect against existences below Six-Digit. Otherwise, it would be useless if the one who took the oath was a Six-Digit existence like the Goddess of Fantasy.
The Dwarf King believed that even a powerful existence like Alister wouldn't dare to break his oath. After all, breaking the oath would mean that Alister's mana core and aura heart would be destroyed by the laws of the world.
Not only that, even the Goddess of Fantasy could impose punishments on him. That was the price for swearing such a ruthless oath. Even the Dwarf King wouldn't go this far and this was why the Dwarf King trusted Alister a bit due to the oath that Alister had sworn.
With the magic contract being signed by both Alister and the Dwarf King, they all went to the sparring ground!
