Chapter 188 Dark Pact II
"Master, why did you call me?" All of its eyes focused on Leon, who quickly glanced at his Mana Bar, realizing he had less than a minute to form his Dark Pact before his mana ran out.
Leon met the leech's countless, eerie eyes and spoke firmly, "Form a pact with me."
The Abyssal Mana Leech King tilted its grotesque head slightly before bowing. "As you wish, Master."
Dark violet energy surged through the air as the pact began to take shape. A sinister, black tendril extended from the leech, wrapping around its own neck before slithering toward Leon's outstretched hand. The tendril coiled tightly around his wrist, burning a mark of servitude into his skin.
The pact formed was that of an master and Servant with leon being the Master and Leech being the Servant.
A notification flashed before Leon's eyes.
[Dark Pact Successful]
[ Your Maximum Mana have been increased by 10,000 % as a result of Dark Pact ]
[You have gained three abilities due to the Dark Pact with the Abyssal Mana Leech King.]
Abyssal Core
Allows you to covert mana into Abyss energy , store it and use it at will.
Caution: The Abyss' energy is highly corrosive and highly compatible with the undead. It will empower undead summons and enhance destructive spells, but it will corrupt healing abilities, turning them into poisonous magic.
Mana Drain
Grants the ability to steal mana from any living being and passively absorb mana at 30% of your maximum mana every second.
Caution: If you drain all the mana from a target, they will die.
Abyssal Mana Skin
Allows you to create a hardened armor of pure mana, reducing incoming damage and nullifying mana-based attacks.
The more mana you have, the stronger the armor.
As the pact completed, the Abyssal Mana Leech King let out a low chuckle. "My abilities and power are now yours to command, Master."
With that, the creature vanished into the abyss, leaving Leon standing alone, his mana reserves overflowing with newfound power.
"Good, now let's see if I can summon a Tier VII being and keep it in this world as long as I want," Leon mumbled as he began to imagine the creature he wished to create.

A chill filled the room.
The flickering lanterns dimmed. The shadows along the walls stretched unnaturally. The men paused, sensing a presence.
Then—
A whisper, barely audible.
"Judgment has come."
WHOOSH!
A wave of black flames erupted, swallowing the entire room in darkness. The men barely had time to react before a scythe gleamed in the air, slicing through the first of them in an instant.
The Dark Specter Reaper had arrived.
Screams filled the chamber as the scythe tore through flesh and bone, cutting down the cultists like wheat before a harvester.
One of them, trembling, tried to activate a spell, but the Reaper merely pointed at him.
His mana drained instantly.
His body withered, collapsing to the ground as a lifeless husk.
The remaining few tried to flee, scrambling toward the exit.
But the shadows themselves betrayed them.
The Reaper moved like a ghost, appearing in front of the door, its empty sockets glowing with a haunting blue light.
"No escape."
After killing everyone in the room, the Dark Specter Reaper looked at the lifeless child on the table.
Its hollow eyes glowed faintly as it reached down and plucked the Ability Crystal from the child's chest. The crystal pulsed weakly, tainted by the suffering it was born from.
The Reaper then gathered the other crystals scattered around the area before turning toward a nearby cellar—where the kidnapped children were kept, asleep under a spell.
The walls of the underground chamber were newly built, meant to keep the children hidden. The Reaper wordlessly traced a dark sigil in the air, ensuring their safety before vanishing into the shadows.
Now, it was time to track down whoever was behind this atrocity.
