**********

There are various types of soul contracts. In fact there are even different techniques of soul contracts. There is even a type Soul Contract technique Kylo heard of, where it could turn one into a slave.

But this is possible only when one has master everything related to Soul. The Laws of Soul.

Kylo got his soul contract technique from his odachi. Every {Soul Contract} technique is a part of one major {Soul Contract} technique which can be mastered only if one has full mastery over the Laws of Soul.

Kylo never invested his time specifically to learn the Laws of Soul.

Learning a single Law is difficult in itself. And one should not forget that Kylo was a sword master, Law holder (Law of Space), and a bloodline cultivator in his previous life.

When someone is said to be a Law Holder it means that person has achieved at least 60% mastery over a specefic Law. And Kylo had over 60% mastery in Laws of Space.

It was not like his Odachi never had any other knowledge. It was after all a rare Heavenly Treasure.

It had techniques related alchemy, blacksmithing, rune, formation and other laws as well. But learning all is impossible for any cultivator, unless and until they have infinite amount of time.

Though he learnt about all types of plants, metals and other knowledge from Odachi, he never spent time in cultivating them. In this life he can learn those.

Why? Since he is a sword spirit his lifespan cannot be compared with other normal fighters if the same cultivation level. And above all he already started cultivating about sword, Laws of Space and bloodline in his previous life.

He looked at the claymore when he thought of Odachi.

A single heavenly treasure had so many treasure techniques.

[Just what would be the techniques inside this formation...] Kylo squinted his eyes while looking at the formation.

Kylo from the very beginning knew this sword was special when he saw the five percent information about the battle. His intuition is telling him that it might something be related to GODS.

Why? Because the only technique he learnt from the Heaven Devourer was {Dance of the Sword God}

(Author Note:- Gods will explained more in Info dump chapters.)

Nigel nodded his small head and said "Lets proceed."

Kylo quickly proceeded with the procedures. He would not delay such things.

Infact Kylo does not want to do anything to betray Nigel but...

He cannot have a contract where both him and his partner gets benefits when the other party was in much weaker position.

Indeed even if Nigel is stronger than Kylo in cultivation base, it is only in cultivation base and nothing else.

Even if he had special background, that is just his ancestor's prestige and nothing else.

Even if he was an exalted personage, that is just past glory and nothing else.

Of couse Kylo would give him resources, but he was doing that for himself mostly.

He will slowly make sure that Nigel stays with him in his long journey. He will also have to protect Nigel and anyways Nigel would die in less than half a century if a cure couldn't be found.

So that was why, he cannot lose against a weaker party.

So why did Kylo offer a dual Soul contract?

This is the second chapter of the {Soul Contract} technique he got from Odachi.

The first chapter is the simple {Soul Contract}, what he did with Avery.

Had it been earlier he could not have done this. But now he was in Nascent soul stage.

Even if he is just a first step he is still in nascent soul stage. And to use second chapter the first requirement was

[I needed to be in nascent soul stage...] Nigel thought while showing both on his face.

In this technique, what he said to Nigel was true. They both can feel each other's emotions.

Except, he can 'see' through any thoughts of the red snake but same could not be said for Nigel.

Nigel was an expert in his previous world and was from royal family, but he did not have much knowledge about soul techniques.

He only had superficial knowledge about soul contracts.

In fact their lineage never dealt with soul techniques. Had he been aware of soul knowledge he would have never agreed with Kylo.

But then again Kylo would not have offered to do this if the opponent was truly an expert. He knew about their lineage and that is why he took the risk.

In fact Kylo was prepared for the worst. What if he knew about soul techniques in his later years of experience?

That is why Kylo had recording orb prepared the moment he sneaked a chop on Avery.

(Author Note:- Mentioned in end of chapter 37, 'a white orb flying behind kylo')

This was his last resort, to blackmail him. Blackmail him into submission.

If even that failed he would have to kill him.

He cannot keep around a creature whom he blackmailed and failed to make him submit.

He was sure the snake would try to kill him in the future, by hook or by crook.

But that was not required, for now atleast.

[After all this runt is one of the hachi ryuu-ou descendant.]

Indeed Avery would be sad if he killed him, but he could have shown her the record orb and just say he would kill her once the Dao Oath duration would be over.

Even if she did not believe the fact that he is alive by consuming her father's heart would be enough to anger her.

He would just have to slowly console her. But none of that was required as he agreed with the {Dual Soul Contract}.

In fact what Kylo wanted was something different. Something much better than soul contract but...

[... I do not have the medium needed for that type of contract]

Kylo thought with a sad face. He immediately made a decision.

[I will do that as soon as I can... I would not be foolish enough to miss a future possible dragon.]

He had a determined face when he thought about it. Nigel was just flabbergasted by vivid emotions shown by Kylo in this short duration.

But before he could ask anything Kylo said "I am sending a seal in your soul. You do the same.

Since you do not know about soul technique use your blood. I will carry it towards my soul and you can feel my emotions once I complete the contract."

Nigel closed his mouth and nodded his head.

Unlike first stage soul contract, a formation was needed to complete the {Dual Soul Contract}.

Kylo made some hand seals and with primordial energy as the medium, a complicated formation was created that was floating in the air.

They both stood in the middle of the formation.

Kylo first placed his finger on Nigel's forehead. He made his way to Nigel's Soul and placed a seal on it.

Nigel did not reject it. He then passed a drop of blood essence to the devil.

Kylo was shocked seeing the blood essence. He just needed little bit of blood not blood essence.

No matter who the cultivator is, blood essence are very important for them.

Creating even a single drop of blood essence takes months to years, depending on the race. Even Devils are no exception.

"...You are going all out huh" Kylo commented after a moment of shock.

Nigel just smiled and said nothing.

Indeed Nigel was going all out. With this it would be very difficult to deceive Nigel.

Kylo had plans and tricks to deceive his real emotion from the red snake, but this was completely unexpected move for Kylo.

He now has no other choice but to continue with the process.

If he stopped here then they will fall out and would have to fight. At least that is what Kylo believed.

Kylo had a rare wry smile on his face thinking [It surely is not easy to deceive him...]

He then accepted the blood essence in his soul without resisting.
