"No tribute, no tribute! From now on, I'll be a good boy and follow your orders... Ouch!!"
Manda was cut off mid-sentence by another hit, Ophis's tail lashing him harder than any whip, making him howl in pain.
How dare you call my master "boy"?
Are you looking to die?
Ophis's massive eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, causing Manda's heart to race with fear.
He quickly cried out:
"No tribute! From now on, Lord Manda will follow your orders and be your battle partner."
Boom!!
As soon as Manda lifted his head, Ophis's tail slammed it back into the ground, creating a large crater.
Mewling piteously, Manda thought: This is just too much. Haven't I already given in?
Why are you still hitting me?
"Call him Master," Ophis demanded, her eyes narrowing as her tail floated menacingly in the air.
If Manda dared to say no, she would make him understand just how terrifying an angry giant snake could be.
"That's impossible! This serpent will never agree to that! Ouch!!!"
Xin took a few steps back, signaling to Ophis that she didn't need to hold back.
He realized that Manda was the type that needed to be beaten into submission. Trying to reason with him wouldn't work.
"I'll never agree to that! Never!!" Manda roared, feeling that agreeing to be a summoning beast and abandoning Orochimaru was already a big concession. How could they ask for more?
Call him "Master"?
No way!
Xin kindly reminded Manda:
"Don't even think about running away. If you try, I'll force a binding contract on you and summon you back for more beatings."
"..." Manda
Gee, thanks for the reminder.
He really appreciate it!
With Xin's reminder, Ophis's blows became even more ferocious.
Nawaki and Minato were both dumbfounded by the sight.
"Master, Master, Master, I give up! Stop hitting me, I give up," Manda finally cried out, surrendering.
In the end, this not-so-tough but very arrogant snake had to bow down.
Xin didn't hold back and immediately signed a contract with Manda. Since Manda didn't listen to Nawaki, Xin saw no problem borrowing him for a while.
Orochimaru didn't summon Manda that often either, since Manda always demanded a tribute.
Outside of wartime, where could they find so many living sacrifices for Manda?
Given the situation, Xin didn't see any issue with using Manda himself.
Relying on Ophis for everything wouldn't look very impressive.
For regular tasks, summoning Manda should suffice.
The contract was signed, but it was a one-sided deal, similar to the contract Uchiha Madara had forced on Kurama. Manda wouldn't be able to refuse any summons.
If Xin wanted Manda to appear, he would have no choice but to obey.
Manda, covered in injuries, shed tears of regret. Why did he have to show up for some measly tribute?
Now look at him-a slave with no way out.
