The Author's POV

Chapter 660

"There's a way?"

I abruptly turned my head to stare at Angelica, who was sitting on the sofa in an elegant manner with both hands resting on her thighs.

Her purple dress accentuated her great curves while her glossy black hair gently cascaded down one side of her shoulders.

With a complicated look on her face, and without answering, she looked at Suriol.

"You already know the answer, don't you."

"..."

Suriol lowered his head without answering.

I took notice of his action and alternated my gaze between the two of them.

"What's going on?"

Was there something that I was missing?

Adjusting her posture, Angelica let out a long sigh before speaking.

"There is one way to save him, and that's to sign a contract with him."

"Huh?"

Her words stunned me. Sign a contract with him? How does that make sense?

"As your strength increases, so does his, thereby repairing a portion of the damage to his core. This is how demonic contracts typically operate, as a contractee's increase in strength also benefits the contractor."

Angelica answered my worries before I could even ask.

I instantly understood her words.

'Right, it's as she says. As the two are connected, the progress of the contractee will directly affect the demon's rank. If so, it makes sense that my increased strength will aid Suriol in recovering from some of his wounds.'

After getting a better grasp of the situation, I decided to keep my mouth shut, and the rest of the room followed my lead and fell into a deathly silence.

Silug, who was still present inside the room, had a clueless expression on his face as he aimlessly wandered around the space with his eyes.

I opened my mouth again and broke the silence.

"...This contract, do we have to do it?"

Honestly, I wasn't in favor of signing a contract.

The only real benefit I would receive from signing a contract with Suriol was a temporary increase in strength, but other than that, there was no other advantage. In point of fact, it was harmful to a greater extent than anything else.

Not only would demonic energy seep into my body and cloud my already muddled mind, but there was a chance that I would be in serious trouble if the others on earth discovered my secret.

Especially by the people from the Union, as they would most likely brand me as a traitor.

"Is there really no other way?"

I asked as I gazed at Angelica and Suriol.

"Not really."

Angelica shook her head upon meeting my line of sight.

"Unless you have a devil fruit that is extremely pure, there is really nothing else that can save him. This is the only possibility that I can think of."

'Do I really have no choice?'

My mood turned gloomy when I looked at Suriol, who pursed his lips and gazed at the floor. He looked to be in deep thought.
