"My Level increased again… the amount of monsters we are killing is ridiculous… How can so many Goblins appear? I am pretty sure that they would have been exterminated if so many goblins were slowly growing in this place…" thought Frank, beginning to think that something was meddling with the Dungeon.
"Could it be Axitl…? No, it is too soon to point fingers at someone… Although… well, she is the Goddess of Chaos, so maybe… Hm, I do not want to think about that…" sighed Frank, he did not want to get angry at Axitl, even if there was a big possibility that she was the one meddling with the dungeon for whatever stupid reason.
Frank decided to not think about it for the moment and concentrate on the present.
Even if it were to be Axitl, it was not as if he could go to her Divine Real and punch her so she was to stop, she was the strongest Goddess in the entirety of Terra, and could literally obliterate him into dust if she wanted to…
He was not in any position to really oppose her.
"It is… done," said Gwendolyn, gasping for air, she had used most of her Mana into the fight, and was slowly regenerating it by drinking several Mana Potions alongside the rest of the party.
"Phew, we somehow did it… How can there be so many goddamn Goblins, to begin with? I thought Monsters slowly grew inside Dungeons, but in a glimpse, all these guys showed up!" said Vheslia.
"It is really strange indeed… I always thought Monsters appeared slowly because they needed some time to grow so they are often hidden.. but there is no way all these… almost hundreds of Goblins just hided this whole time, right?!" asked Cathyl.
"Indeed, lady Cathyl. Even though there has been a Goblin King spotted, there is no way that its powers are capable of making Goblins multiply and grow so fast… There is something strange going on, something we cannot easily discern… perhaps forces above our own understanding are playing in this scenario…" said Grandwing.
"There might be… something else happening… These potions… I have never drunk something that could take effect so fast… My Mana has already regenerated…" said Melodia, surprised over Frank's Potions.
Frank quickly saved all the corpses inside of his Inventory, and then went towards the Goblin Mages he had captured.
By combining Void and Dark Death Devil Magic together, he created a greater Bind Spell, which he named Binding Seal.
Aside from just entrapping a target by binding it, Binding Seal also had the effect of sealing part of the entrapped target's physical and magical power, suppressing it to an extent, and if Frank were to put more and more Mana into it, the power could intensify even more.
And thanks to Ginseng Mana Drain, he was able to drain all the mana of the Goblins, leaving them weakened and even lethargic.
"Nezhit, how's Rabrudion and the rest?" asked Frank, as Nezhit walked towards him.
"They're fine, my lord, although the lion has fallen unconscious, I don't think he will be able to fight…" said Nezhit.
"What do we do with those guys?" asked Gwendolyn.
"Hm… It would be safer if we could carry them back to the surface, leaving them here would be too dangerous, as more Goblins could emerge to come and kill them…" said Grandwing.
"We can carry them to the surface… We have wings and we can fly very fast," said Melodia.
"The Goblins are marching here, I cannot let you guys go away for too long… we need your help to survive this horde… It is immense… I guess I will have to do it," said Frank.
"Do… what?" asked Grandwing.
"To reveal what I am going to do. I need to trust you guys… So, we will have to do another thing first," said Frank.
"Frank… what do you mean?" asked Melodia.
"Do you four trust us?" asked Frank, his crimson eyes gleaming with conviction.
Grandwing, Melodia, and the other two members had more or less assumed that Frank was not normal at all.
For starters, they did not even know that Dark Magic could be used in such ways as Frank showcased them, and had thought that he was a prodigy.
But now, it seems that he had even deeper secrets he wanted to share with them.
But for that, he needed to do something first.
"Then… Let's do a contract with your soul," said Frank.
"A… contract?" asked Grandwing.
"Whenever we do the contract, I will be able to tell you," said Frank.
Grandwing glanced at Rabrudion, and also the other two members of the Golden Lions who he had thought were dead.
Although he was busy fighting, he still heard how Frank said 'Rise' in front of their corpses… and now, they were alive.
Grandwing could not help but be curious about what kind of power Frank possessed… Incredibly curious especially because Frank was able to completely defy what he believed was possible for a Magus at Rank 2…
Whatever Frank truly was, being his ally and gain his trust could be very beneficial to him and his group.
And even more, he found that even after being mistreated by Rabrudion, he still rescued him, and showed kindness.
"He is a good man…" thought Grandwing.
Grandwing glanced back at his party members, all of them nodded.
"Very well, we trust you, Frank," said Grandwing.
"Then stay still… It will be quick," said Frank.
Frank suddenly generated a clear blue essence coming from his hand, something ethereal and phantasmal that Grandwing had seen before when Frank was fighting against the Goblin Army.
"This is… A Soul Contract," said Frank.
Soul Contract, a special type of spell that Frank created through the inspirations given to him by Null and after having evolved into a Dracolich.
This Spell was created by using the power of Dark Death Devil Magic, which could also manipulate and affect souls.
Merging it with Void Magic and its ability to suppress things or create special kinds of restrictions, Frank came to the creation of this Spell as an inspiration.
Soul Contract had the power to simply make a contract with anyone's soul and Frank Soul.
When it was done, the Soul of the target and Frank would be chained by phantasmal soul chains, which would restrict both souls from doing something restricted.
What Frank was going to restrict Grandwing and his party to do was to speak about any of his abilities or of anyone related to his abilities, keeping them a secret.
If he were to not comply, the contract would be broken, and his soul would be… destroyed.
The same came for Frank, if he were to speak of Grandwing's secrets to anyone that were not his allies, his soul would be destroyed by his power.
It was a double-edged sword.
Flash!
The phantasmal power accumulating on Frank's hands spread in all four members of the Storm Chasers, as they noticed their very souls being affected by it!
Suddenly, invisible phantom chains emerged, connecting their souls to Frank!
"This power… What is this?" asked Grandwing.
"Amazing… I've never seen someone capable of using their very souls in this way… But I have heard that only those above Rank 7 possess 'Mana Souls' that can do very fantastical things… To think that you can do such things despite being a Rank 2 Magus…" said Melodia.
"Indeed. This is… incredible…" said the dove-kin of the Storm Chasers.
"Yeah…" said the crow-kin of the Storm Chasers.
"The contract has been done, now, you shall keep whatever secrets I and anyone close to me showcase to you. If not… your soul will be shattered," said Frank.
Grandwing was a bit surprised, but he nodded afterward.
"I see… But are you affected as well?" he asked.
"Yes, I cannot reveal your or your related ones secrets either… my soul will be shattered as well if I do so," said Frank.
"That's… a very extreme spell…" said Melodia.
"But it is reasonable…" said Grandwing.
"Now, I will carry Rabrudion to a safe place," said Frank.
"But how are you going to do-" asked Grandwing as he was interrupted by something too fantastical for him to believe.
"Gate Open," said Frank, as a gigantic gate emerged out of thin air, planting itself in the floor and revealing a spatial distortion inside, like a twisting blue abyss that led somewhere else…
"W-What?!" asked Grandwing, Melodia and the rest were just as shocked.
"What kind of magic… is that?!" asked Melodia.
"It is technically not magic. This is the power of a Dungeon Master… The Dark Lair Dungeon… I own it," said Frank, carrying Rabrudion and the other two unconscious Golden Lions with the help of the Undead ones he raised recently, crossing the gate and entering the Dark Lair Dungeon, leaving their care to Orb.
"Eh!? Master, do I have to take care of these weirdos?!" asked Orb.
"Please… I will make sure to reward you however you want afterward," said Frank with a gentle nod.
"Sheesh… Alright… Okay!" said Orb, if she wasn't a giant spherical crystal ball, she would be pouting.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it," said Frank, as he walked back to the Goblin Dungeon, seeing Grandwing and the rest still in shock.
"Gate Close," said Frank, as the Gate suddenly exploded into light particles that faded away in seconds.
"That's… what kind of… a dungeon… master?!" asked Grandwing.
"Well, it's a long story, and we don't have time, so let's leave explanations for later, shall we?" asked Gwendolyn.
"I-I agree, I guess we must take care of the things in here first…" said Melodia, patting Grandwing's shoulders.
"R-Right…" sighed Grandwing, calming himself down.
"Now let's go… they are approaching us at a fast pace…" said Frank.
