Chapter 71 - Contract

The true name of the contract Kenmyo Isayama signed with Fushiguro Toji is the "demon blood contract," which is typically used by Chaos forces to tempt humans into corruption.

Kenmyo Isayama's mentor, Ahriman, being the Chosen of Tzeentch, one of the Chaos Gods / The Four Gods of the Warp, naturally knew all the tricks and signature moves of Tzeentch's demons, even holding them in slight contempt.

Therefore, only a small initial section of the [red letter redemption] was recorded using etchings, but this limited knowledge was already enough for Kenmyo Isayama to deceive these monkeys who had never even witnessed Psychic Spells.

Fushiguro Toji, the first test subject, had seen everything by now, and he hadn't exactly personally packaged and sold himself to Kenmyo Isayama.

However, Kenmyo Isayama's "buy one, get thirty-something free" contract was still just the leftovers of what those demons played with. Some contracts didn't even require a signature; merely touching the paper, or even just seeing it with one's eyes, meant accepting the contract. Furthermore, the typical patterns on the contract often represented hundreds or thousands of other requirements, or implied hidden languages, making them impossible to guard against, invisible even under a microscope magnified hundreds of thousands of times.

Unlike Kenmyo Isayama's contract, which had to adhere to the principles of mutual fairness, transparency, and voluntary consent.

The contract would only take effect immediately after the involved party signed their name.

Even this most flawed, Kenmyo Isayama-modified "demon blood contract" had terrifying effects: Fushiguro Toji's soul no longer belonged to him after signing, and he would even need Kenmyo Isayama's permission to kill himself.

Although normally, he was no different from his usual self, still going out to fool around with women.

But as soon as Kenmyo Isayama utilized the highest authority of the blood contract, it was equivalent to Kenmyo Isayama issuing a direct, absolute command to Fushiguro Toji, which Fushiguro Toji had no right to resist.

Kenmyo Isayama conducted an experiment, immediately ordering Fushiguro Toji to stab himself several times using the Inverted Spear of Heaven. After accepting the command, good heavens, his eyes were fanatical, as if he had received the highest honor. He stabbed himself wherever there was a major artery, and blood gushed out like water.

The amount of blood was truly like a fountain, quickly staining the entire ground red.

If Kenmyo Isayama hadn't called a stop, he suspected Fushiguro Toji would have stabbed himself to death without the slightest hesitation.

This was the forced obedience of the "demon blood contract"—the effect was ridiculously good, and Kenmyo Isayama was both scared and delighted by it.

He couldn't help but think that the fundamental composition of the Empire's vast territory was still ordinary civilians, but every single moment, they could be tempted by Chaos Demons and actively become traitors to The Emperor.

When the whispers of demons sounded in their ears, even the powerful Astartes Monks struggled to cope; how despairing must it be for ordinary civilians whose only recourse was to say, "The Emperor protects."

Kenmyo Isayama felt that his style was increasingly leaning toward Chaos Evil: feeding his enemies to the Tyranids, turning their bones into Servo-Skulls after they were tortured, and tricking the "ignorant middle-aged uncle" into using the Warp's "demon blood contract" to become his puppet.

He didn't know how people could mistake Kenmyo Isayama for having a bleeding heart.

Seriously, have the standards for having a bleeding heart become this bloody now?

After the "demon blood contract," Fushiguro Toji became Kenmyo Isayama's most loyal Warrior.

Regardless, a small team had initially taken shape: the """scarab terminator""" was the Spell Tank, Fushiguro Toji was the Warrior and Assassin, and Kenmyo Isayama was the Spellcaster and Summoner. With those two charging ahead, he only needed to throw out some buff spells from the rear to produce quite terrifying results.

Psychic Spells truly contain many buff spells.

For example, the Psychic Spell [Hand of the Heavy Hammer]. The effect is simple and brutal.

Cost: 400 mana points.

Effect: The blessed target's total Strength attribute will double on their next strike, causing double the destructive effect.

In short, the next attack dealt will definitely inflict double damage, equivalent to a critical hit.

If Kenmyo Isayama were to bestow this Psychic blessing upon Fushiguro Toji, what kind of destructive effect would one of his strikes achieve? Smashing the enemy's head would definitely be no problem.

As for using a Psychic blessing on the """scarab terminator,""" Kenmyo Isayama stated that his Psychic attainment wasn't that high yet. To use an inappropriate analogy, how could a paramecium bless an elephant?

Due to the irreversible and extreme damage to the """scarab terminator's""" durability, every use consumes a charge. Once durability reaches zero, the [Red Letter Warrior - """scarab terminator"""] will be completely destroyed.

It was precisely because of this that Kenmyo Isayama constantly felt uneasy, which is why he came up with the idea of finding a replacement. Coincidentally, the "Heavenly Restraints Tyrant," Fushiguro Toji, appeared at that time!

After Kenmyo Isayama finished dealing with Fushiguro Toji, he saw Isayama Yomi waiting anxiously in the distance, so he gathered his thoughts and sighed. There was something he truly didn't know how to tell her.

It was about who had hired Fushiguro Toji to assassinate Isayama Yomi. Kenmyo Isayama had learned the employer's identity from Fushiguro Toji.

He truly regretted it; sometimes, knowing too much only brings distress.

"Kenmyo, you're not hurt, are you?"

Although Isayama Yomi was relieved by the strength Kenmyo Isayama displayed in "crushing" Fushiguro Toji, she knew the saying, "Don't pursue cornered enemies." Who knew what hidden moves the desperate "Heavenly Restraints Tyrant" might reveal?

"I'm fine, Yomi-nee."

"Also, I'm sorry, I lost track of Fushiguro Toji."

The fewer people who knew about Kenmyo Isayama's relationship with Fushiguro Toji, the better; there was no need to draw attention.

At the same time, Fushiguro Toji faking his death did not yield as much profit as keeping him alive. Kenmyo Isayama was still counting on this middle-aged uncle's identity as the "Sorcerer Killer" to earn him money.

The fact that this guy had several valuable Special Grade Cursed Tools on him showed how strong Fushiguro Toji's professional ability was, and Kenmyo Isayama was somewhat envious.

"Kenmyo, as long as you're okay."

Isayama Yomi didn't find it strange; after all, that was an existence that made the Jujutsu World shudder. For Kenmyo Isayama, a "newly emerged" Jujutsu Sorcerer, to defeat and seriously injure Fushiguro Toji could already be called earth-shattering.

Isayama Yomi then called people from the Jujutsu Sorcerer Association to handle the scene and reported that the Curse User group was apparently backed by the "Heavenly Restraints Tyrant," Fushiguro Toji, who had once slaughtered half of the Zen'in Family alone. The Jujutsu Sorcerer Association took it seriously, and while surprised that Isayama Yomi had repelled Fushiguro Toji, they raised the mission rank, which consequently allowed Kenmyo Isayama to receive more subsidies.

"Oh right, Yomi-nee."

Before parting, Kenmyo Isayama said to Isayama Yomi,

"I haven't visited Sister Mei in a long time. Could you help me tell her that I want to go to her house to visit?"
