Chapter 1582: A New Pet

Castor Bach Justesen felt the tremor from the ground. He slowly opened his dreary eyes. He furrowed his brow, realizing he was in a different location.

"Where am I?" He muttered in a low voice. His voice was hoarse and sounded confused. He could not see the people who captured him, and also the people who watched him.

Then someone appeared before, someone least he expected to appear in front of him, Tang Shaoyang. This confused him even more. From what he knew, The Nirvana Alliance tried to turn all participants against Tang Shaoyang. They should be fighting right now, but why was Tang Shaoyang here?

Tang Shaoyang shook his head, and could not believe what happened to Castor, "What happened to you? Did you join the wrong party?"

Castor's condition was horrible. He did not have his hand and his feet, limbless. There was something that prevented Castor from healing the wound on his cut arm and leg. Not only that something prevent Castor from regenerating, but the wounds were festering. It was quite nasty to look at.

Even in this situation, he cracked into a smile, "We made a promise, didn't we? As long as I don't try to kill you, you will not kill me."

Tang Shaoyang took out a healing potion, but Castor shook his head.

"Don't waste your potion. You will need those potions to fight them. And the potion will not work on me anyway. They put something on me to negate the healing potion as well as my regeneration."

Tang Shaoyang scratched his head and did not know what to do. Unfortunately, he no longer had Yu, his alchemist. His Alchemist had a new life, no longer his spirit. He asked his spirit if they had something to help Castor.

[I can use healing spells, but I don't know if it will work, but we can try.] The former knight said.

Jovrick squatted next to Castor and cast the spell. His spell used Light Elemental Power. The Light Elemental Power had healing properties. It might work but unfortunately, it did not work.

"It's nasty poison, isn't it? Don't waste your time with me. I think it's poison from the Dragon Realm. Ah, it's more like a curse than a poison, I think. The only way to cure me is to go to the shaman in the Dragon Realm. But I don't think my family has access to the Dragon Realm. There's no hope for me, Tang. You can leave me or you can end my suffering early." Castor smiled.

Tang Shaoyang rolled his eyes at Castor, "Why do you try to look at your last moment instead of thinking of a way to save your life?"

"Did you just roll your eyes? I don't know you have this side of you," Castor let out a chuckle.

"Do we really have no other way?"

Castor shook his head, "This is a curse, not poison. Only shamans in the Dragon Realm could remove the curse from me. Just leave me, Tang. At most, I only have one hour. I can feel everything inside me starting to rot."

[Oh! You can try Demonification or Calamitification on him. Evolving into a demon or calamity might get rid of the curse.] Vandir, who had been silent for a while, made a suggestion. It was a brilliant idea, might work, or might not. But it was worth trying.

Tang Shaoyang clapped his hand when Castor was about to close his eyes, "I think I might have a way to remove the curse, but it will change you."

"What do you mean, Tang?" Castor's voice was getting weaker.

"I have this skill called [Demonification] and [Calamitification]. The skill will evolve you into a demon or a calamity. It's an evolution, and it might remove the curse. But... that's the price. You will turn into a demon or a calamity. Which one do you prefer, Castor? Demon or Calamity?"

"I don't care as long as I live, Tang. But let's try with a demon first. I am afraid that I will be hunted down even with my family if I become a calamity," Hearing that there was a chance the curse could be removed, Castor regained his vigor, "But becoming a calamity is cooler, isn't it? Nah, let's go with the demon first, Tang. If it doesn't work, we can try the calamity."

"I need to remind you about something first before we try it. If the skill succeeds, and you evolve into a demon or a calamity. There's a chance that you might become my companion. Hmmm... the common term you guys often use is pet. There's a chance you will become my pet because that's what happened when I turned a calamity into a demon. They have become my pets now."

Castor stared at Tang Shaoyang, not saying a single word. He was thinking about what it meant to be Tang Shaoyang's pet. He cracked into a smile thinking about it.

"Yeah, I don't mind becoming your pet as long as I can keep my life. It's not so bad if you think about it. Since there's a chance I will become your pet, then change me to be a calamity, Tang. You will protect your pet, right?" Castor grinned when he mentioned the last part.

"Not really. You are my pet, not my son," Tang Shaoyang stood up and directed his hand at Castor, "Are you ready?"

Even though he did not need to direct this hand at Castor, he did it anyway. It had become a habit at this point. He did it all the time when he summoned a new spirit or sacrificed the bodies to advance his spirit.

Castor nodded his head weakly.

The Chaos Energy sucked out from his hand and entered Castor's body. Castor raised his right eyebrow, confused with the weird feeling inside. He felt it, the change inside his body. He could feel inside him starting to change, and he felt less awful than before. His body was improving, and this method might work.

Watching everything with his eyes, he saw his hands and legs regrow. His flesh and bones regenerated, forming new limbs. However, his white skin turned dark. Not just his hand, but his whole body turned dark.

Then he suddenly felt itchy on his forehead. He wanted to scratch his forehead, but his hands were not fully regenerated. He did not have the fingers yet to scratch his forehead. Then he realized what happened, and a pair of horns grew on his forehead. Two long yet thin black horns grew on his forehead.

His visions started to become clearer, and he saw something he could not see before. Mana, the rich mana flows around him. He saw them where he could not see them before. Aside from the horn and the skin, everything looked the same.

Castor looked at his dark hand, moving his hand around. Then he touched the horn on his forehead. Of course, the most important thing was the curse. He felt it, the curse disappeared.

He grinned ear to ear and immediately jumped out toward Tang Shaoyang. He was about to hug his savior, but of course, Tang Shaoyang dodged his hug.

"No, please. I don't like men. Just stay there or I might do an experiment on you by using Demonification on you!"

That was enough to make Castor listen. However, he listened to Tang Shaoyang not because of the threat but because of his instinct. He wanted to try again to hug Tang Shaoyang, but his body did not listen to him.

"I have really become your pet!"
