THE archdemon opened and closed his fist, as if testing its elasticity. "Those dark mages seemed to really take care of my body. It’s too bad I wouldn’t be able to personally thank them."

  He then glanced at the unconscious dark mage lying on the ground. He crouched down and took out a ring from the other’s finger. After that, he pricked the dark mage’s finger and drop some blood to the ring. He stood up and unceremoniously threw the ring at Luo Yan and Shen Ji Yun’s direction. The latter reflexively caught it.

  "That ring contains a lot of this guy’s treasure. The overall quality of all the things there could easily amount to the treasure you wanted me to give you," Beelzebub said.

  Luo Yan glanced at the ring on Shen Ji Yun’s palm. The black crystal on it was most likely a space stone just like that crystal that the archdemon gave them to store his body. What he did earlier, dropping blood on it, was probably to remove any seal it had so they could access it without any problems.

  He didn’t doubt what the other said about the quality of the items in the ring. After all, they made that contract. The archdemon had no choice but to honor it. The other said that the ring had a lot of treasures. That meant that it had more than two items inside. Which was more than what he asked for.

  Of course, he wouldn’t complain. It’s definitely better to have more high-quality items. At least with this, he and Shen Ji Yun wouldn’t be the only ones who could use these items. They could store them in their headquarters’ treasury and every member of their team could take an item out and use it.

  "Brother Ji Yun, you should keep it. Then, we’ll check the contents later," he said.

  Shen Ji Yun nodded and put the ring in his Items Tab.

  "Regarding my own reward for the both of you, please take out your main weapons," the archdemon said. He might have seen their doubt because he added, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything bad to your weapons. I’m going to bestow to them my blessing."

  Luo Yan raised one of his brows. He almost asked if his blessing was even worthy of a gift. Then, his confusion was cleared by what Shen Ji Yun said next.

  "Based on what I know, when an archdemon gives his blessing on an item, that item would possess the trait of the sin that the archdemon who bestowed it represented."

  Then, their weapons would have the trait related to gluttony? Since that’s the sin that represented Beelzebub. But how would that work exactly? – Luo Yan thought.

  "The qilin is right. This blessing would only be advantageous to the both of you," Beelzebub said. "But if you prefer something different, you can tell me. I don’t mind accommodating you."

  Luo Yan glanced at Shen Ji Yun and the other nodded. He then turned to the archdemon.

  "No, it’s fine. Your blessing is enough," he said.

  After saying that, he took out his daggers. Shen Ji Yun did the same and unsheathed his sword. Beelzebub walked towards them and observed the weapons.

  "Good weapons. I see that they are even attuned to the elements you’re connected with. Oh, these daggers even have the core of the Eternal Lotus. Smart move, using that," the archdemon commented. Then he put his hands above the weapons. "Upon my name as the archdemon of gluttony, I bestow upon thee my blessing."

  The sword and the daggers suddenly glowed. As the light subsided, the both of them heard a notification.

  [Congratulations on receiving the archdemon of gluttony’s blessing! From now on your weapons would have the ability to ’eat’ a skill randomly of any enemy that you managed to wound. In turn, the enemy wouldn’t be able to use the ’eaten’ skill. Of course, you could only use the skill you ’ate’ for a given time of 30 seconds. Then, it would be returned to its owner. You didn’t expect it to be yours forever, right? That would be too greedy. Remember, you got the blessing of the archdemon of gluttony, not the archdemon of greed.]

  After the game system’s long explanation, Luo Yan looked down at his two daggers in amazement. Wasn’t this blessing a bit too OP? Even if they couldn’t choose the skill they wanted to ’eat’, if they were against a strong opponent, the skill that they could ’eat’ would definitely be strong. And that would ultimately affect the enemy’s game play.

  It’s not even a skill that had a cooldown. So, it’s even better. Maybe that’s why the game system even gave a notification. He knew they had to test their weapons to know the full extent of this blessing. But the basic explanation for it was enough to see how good it was.

  "Wow, I never thought you’d be so generous," Luo Yan said, still looking at his daggers.

  "Not really. I just thought that this blessing would be the best reward to stop you from complaining," Beelzebub said with a shrug. "Giving it won’t really affect me in any way. So, you don’t have to give it too much meaning."

  Luo Yan felt the corner of his eye twitching. Yup. This guy was annoying as ever. The other being in his original body made him even more annoying. Because now that he was moving around and not lying lifelessly inside a pod, Luo Yan realized that this bastard actually had a resting bitch face. Add that to the way he talked and it would definitely irritate anyone.

  He sighed, ignoring the other’s jibe. "You’re not going to kill him?" he asked, referring to the unconscious dark mage.

  Beelzebub glanced at the dark mage. "No. He still has his use." He swished his hand toward the other and the dark mage suddenly disappeared. "I think it’s time for me to fulfill the first condition of this deal. So, where is the kid?"
