Law of the Swarm

Chapter 199 Helpless Transaction

There was a faint red eyeball in the hazy black smoke, and Rafal stared at System quietly.

It didn't deliver anything, it seemed to be waiting for System to open first.

System also remained silent, calmly looking at the evil god in the dream.

But after waiting for an hour and still seeing no response from the other party, System still didn't hold his breath in the end.

System asked the evil god, "What are you looking for me for?"

Compared with the evil god who has been sleeping for tens of thousands of years and has a lot of time, System's time is very precious, and he is also very dangerous in his sleep. Even if his body is covered with [plague mucus], he is also vulnerable to abyssal creatures attack.

However, System obviously underestimated the shamelessness of the evil god.

Rafal's red eyeballs shone with a strange light, and an inexplicable message came into System's mind, which was somewhat similar to his spiritual message, but it was not at all.

"I didn't come to look for you, but you who yearned for strength took the initiative to find me."

The message Rafal conveyed was very real, and the tone seemed to be stating a fact.

If System hadn't been the person involved, and knew clearly that he would hide away everything related to Rafal, he might still think that what Rafal said was true.

But just when System came up with this idea and complained about Rafal's shameless behavior in his heart, System suddenly felt a little dizzy...

Ding!You gain the status [Raffal's Whispers].

The dizziness disappeared quickly, and System also became sober. He felt that there was a sound in his ear just now, but he couldn't remember it at all.

"I came to look for you?" System asked Rafa in confusion. He felt that his spirit was not right, as if he had forgotten something, and Rafa in front of him didn't respond to him. Answering the question, after waiting for a while, System seemed to have figured it out and continued: "It seems that I am indeed looking for you, but why am I looking for you?"

In the dream, the evil god didn't answer him, the strange red eyes just looked at him quietly, as if waiting for System to find out the answer.

System, who was in doubt, felt more and more wrong, and habitually flipped through the video data in the [Tools Menu].

Unlike the images that listen to the sounds of the world that cannot be recorded, everything that happened in the dream created by Rafal is completely recorded by the video data, and even the thoughts in his heart will be completely recorded.

Ding!The abnormal state [Whispers of the evil god] has disappeared.

Soon, System knew that he had been bewitched by the evil god, and [Whispers of the evil god] (5/5) also disappeared the moment System learned the truth.

System looked at Rafal's red eyes, but the other party did not continue to bewitch him, nor did he take any other actions.System speculates that Rafal does not have the ability to read minds, but he doesn't know that he has broken free from the bewitchment at this time.

System knew that if he showed that he had seen through the other party's bewitchment at this time, there was a high probability that the evil god would continue to bewitch him, or take more threatening actions against him.

As long as his [plague slime] is still there, the evil god Rafal will haunt him. Even if he escapes this time, there will definitely be a next time.

After some consideration, System decided to follow the trend and make a deal with the evil god honestly. Anyway, these [plague mucus] would lose their activity after seven days, so trading with the evil god would not cost him too much.

Before, System didn't want to make a deal with the evil god because he was afraid that the evil god would entangle him endlessly, but now that the evil god had already entangled him, System didn't have so many worries.

"Great Rafal, the god in charge of plagues and curses, I implore you to grant me the [Shadow Incarnation] ability." System immediately asked the evil god for the incarnation ability he had always wanted before.

With this incarnation ability, System can accept most of the abyss summons without any worries, go to different main planes, learn and master more knowledge, and understand this world more fully.

After receiving System's request, Rafal finally gave System a response and put forward the conditions for the sacrifice.

System must sacrifice all his [Plague Slime] in exchange for [Shadow Incarnation] ability.

This is a clearly unequal transaction.

With the hundreds of tons of [Plague Slime] he gained combat power, he could easily defeat the superhuman flying dragons, but in exchange for only one [Shadow Incarnation] ability, System could clearly feel that he was cheated.

But he was being "bewitched" by the evil god at this time, and had no other choice but to accept this deal.

Not long after, System didn't even leave the dreamland, and the sacrifice had already begun.

……

Just like that, when System woke up again after finishing the sacrifice in his sleep, he just fell from the sky into the swamp on the ground.

System's hundreds of tons of [Plague Slime] disappeared due to the sacrifice, and a black animal skin book with purple patterns appeared next to him.

This book is very familiar to System. It is the book he obtained from the Ratman wizard Lance to communicate with the evil god Rafal. It was this book that brought System into contact with the evil god for the first time. .

System remembered that he asked Shava to put the animal skin book back into the lair of the ratman wizard. Later, when the rainy season came, the animal skin book was probably soaked, and then he put the animal skin book back into the lair. Things are forgotten.

Now it seems that this book is not simple. System thought of the strange statue of Rafal in the half-plane temple. The appearance of this book is inseparable from that shadow temple. Perhaps Rafal has secretly paid attention to it. He has been a long time.

Sighing helplessly, System knew that his plan to find the tyrant slime seemed to be unfeasible in a short time.

System quickly felt the [Shadow Incarnation] ability traded with Rafal, and opened the [Tools Menu] to check this ability.

……

[Shadow Incarnation] (25/25): A special ability given to System by Rafal.By consuming experience points, vitality, and shadow energy, create external avatars with certain combat capabilities.

……

Exceeding System's expectations, System originally thought that the evil god Rafal would give him a dozen or so levels of [Shadow Incarnation] ability at most.

But he didn't expect that the evil god gave him an extraordinary ability.

System suddenly remembered the information he received when he first contacted the evil god. The sacrifice of the evil god followed the principle of equal value exchange.

That is to say, as many things are sacrificed, as many things will be obtained.

Perhaps the evil god asked System to sacrifice all the [Plague Slime] in exchange for abilities, which means buying and selling by force. Obviously System only needs to sacrifice a small amount of [Plague Slime] to obtain a low-level [Shadow Incarnation] , but Rafal did not disclose any information in this regard.

However, after the actual transaction, System did not suffer too much.
