"Summoning demons?" The old priest was momentarily stunned, but his conviction quickly grew stronger.

Tangs indeed had problems.

Back when Naimes brought Tangs before him, he had sensed that intense demonic aura.

That was definitely not something that could appear from mere demonic influence.

And now, the other party was actually summoning demons directly, which meant Naimes must also be problematic.

Previously, the reasoning that Naimes was using Isabella as an evil individual driven by ambition had been quite far-fetched.

But now there were absolutely no issues with that claim.

Any true deity's church could quickly stand on moral high ground to despise their enemies when demons were involved.

These days, demons' reputation was truly well-deserved.

With the appearance of demons, all the old priest's previous mental struggles seemed to instantly vanish.

Even his Ideal Heavenly Kingdom became increasingly real at this moment.

As the magic array dissipated, the desires serving as sacrifices became the medium, sustaining the demons' existence.

Then these formless demons rapidly emitted black energy, absorbing surrounding objects, and in the blink of an eye, formed into small demons.

These small demons were wreathed in dark energy, their bodies constructed from basic materials of the material plane yet possessing extremely strong defenses due to their immortal traits.

According to witch research manuals, only some blood sacrifices needed to be provided to these small demons.

Then their bodies could stabilize magical structures.

Even if the demons were later expelled, as long as they weren't destroyed by holy attributes, their residual bodies could serve as magical materials.

After forming their bodies, the small demons excitedly roared.

They had finally reached the material plane, where supposedly there were endless flesh and souls, all requiring just a finger's movement to kill.

Most wonderfully, this summoner was extremely generous, directly using desires to form the medium without corresponding contracts.

As long as the desires didn't dissipate, they could move freely without any constraints.

And if things went wrong, they only needed a thought to disperse the desire medium and return to the Abyss, making it extremely... safe?

The excited demons, after overcoming the sensory discomfort from planar transition, quickly assessed the situation here. Updates are released by novel·fire.net

The surroundings were filled with auspicious clouds, even the water surfaces shimmered with golden light.

Not far away were two Petitioning Angels.

Most small demons had only seen these things in memory inheritances, likely never encountering the real thing until death.

Yet now they saw two at once?

One timid small demon let out a strange cry and immediately tried to disperse the desires to return to the Abyss.

However, as they dispersed the desires, they began to transform, intertwining to form a simple contract that was already signed.

[Clause 1: Fulfill one demand of the person designated by the contract drafter.]

[Clause 2: The summoned party has no other constraints.]

[Clause 3: Upon demand completion, this contract immediately dissipates.]

"Damn, this technique of weaving desires into hidden contracts is definitely demon work!"

"I'll **** all nine holes in his body!!!"

"So foul! Is the summoner's brain filled with old sow urine and dung mixture?!!" Upon seeing the desires transform into a contract, the small demon's resentment exploded.

"His soul is practically a demon cesspit!"

"***Demon profanity***!!"

"******!" By now, other demons had also discovered the problem, and various curses erupted.

The contract's effectiveness wasn't particularly strong, but the problem was that after establishment, the clauses were too simplistic.

This made the binding force impossible to break through other methods, requiring constant erosion using the demons' own corruption.

Enduring the contract's backlash during this process was the minor issue.

The main problem was whether they really had time in this environment to both endure the backlash and break the contract?

"I need 90% of the accumulation you brought with you. Give it to me and you can return," Tangs said calmly as the designated person.

The small demons instantly completed their cost-benefit analysis, then various 'demon profanities' erupted continuously, yet all their power flowed 'voluntarily' toward Tangs.

The contract completed, and the small demons' faint, almost invisible shadows followed the Abyss's call, leaving this place of sorrow.

This trip yielded them no flesh or blood, and they nearly lost all their possessions.

Returning to the Abyss meant essentially starting over as blank slates.

They would need to compete with other small demons for already dangerous prey, or prey on other small demons to obtain flesh and souls for their advancement accumulation.

This demonic accumulation now rapidly surged toward Tangs, entering his body with each breath.

Tangs's body instantly swelled, covered in fine black scales, with a pair of small black horns growing from his forehead.

Apart from lacking wings and tail, and his feet not bending backward into hooves, Tangs now hardly differed from a demon.

The crucial point was that Tangs emitted no demonic aura whatsoever, yet his strength had reached Steel Seed level.

Of course, this was only temporary.

Demonic advancement wasn't so simple.

The power from flesh and souls was just power;

increasing seed level required the Abyss Will's assistance.

After accumulating enough to reach the basic threshold where the Abyss Will would act, it would assist in compressing the accumulation's number, with most taken by the Abyss and a small portion seized by oneself.

Only after obtaining a certain amount could one advance to become a true demon.

Some slow small demons who didn't obtain enough number would need to accumulate a second time.

If in the material plane, this accumulation required even more, otherwise the Abyss Will couldn't be bothered crossing planar barriers for such small business.

Thus, although Tangs had collected several different demonic accumulations, he still couldn't use them to promote the Kullog within him.

He could only temporarily absorb them in coordination with the Breath of Holy Commandment, briefly elevating his strength to Steel Seed level.

Though it was temporary power, Tangs felt exceptionally comfortable.

That sensation of power filling his entire being.

The next moment, Naimes also felt the feedback from commandment completion, since although Naimes wasn't the summoner, he was the drafter of this heaven-defying contract specifically designed to trap demons.

Because it was a causally linked event completed simultaneously, the oathkeeping feedback was directly synthesized by Naimes.

Compared to Op and his subordinates earlier, these small demons' powers were more unified, making synthesis relatively easier.

Soon, Naimes obtained a trait called Pollution Attachment.

[Commandment Feedback: Contract Artifact newly added—(Pollution Attachment): After Contract Artifact parasitism, can pollinate host, making host adapt to Contract Artifact.]

"Pity, letting those small demons escape back to the Abyss doesn't count as forgiveness."
