Faith and Soul!

"Quick, tell me, what do you have in mind?"

Link asked impatiently.

"Master, this isn't the place for a discussion. Please come to the realm of the undead first, and I will explain everything to you in detail!" said the Big-Eyed Demon.

"Alright!"

Link pondered for a moment, then nodded. He turned to Ron, who was standing nearby, and instructed, "Ron, wait here for me. I need to catch up on some beauty sleep. After I wake up, I'll teach you 'Summoning Magic'!"

"What?"

Ron's eyes widened in surprise, and he grabbed Link's shoulder, asking excitedly, "Young Master, is what you just said true? Are you really willing to teach me 'Summoning Magic'?"

"Of course it's true!"

Link shook his head helplessly, then pushed Ron's hands off his shoulders and immediately lay down to sleep without another word.

"Big-Eyed Demon, I'm here!"

As soon as Link appeared in the realm of the undead, he shouted downwards.

"Welcome, Master!"

The Big-Eyed Demon fluttered its comical wings and flew over as usual.

"Now you can tell me how to empower Ron!" Link cut straight to the chase without any small talk.

"Of course! My Master!"

The Big-Eyed Demon nodded and patiently explained, "As the ruler of the realm of the undead, if you wish, you can bestow the magical power and undead beings of the 'Undead Realm' upon your subordinate!"

"Bestow?" Link raised an eyebrow at this.

"Indeed!"

A meaningful glint flashed in the Big-Eyed Demon's enormous eyes as it continued, "However, this bestowal is not without cost; it requires absolute loyalty from your subordinate in exchange. In other words, it is a matter of faith!"

"Faith…?"

Link's pupils constricted, and before he could speak, the Big-Eyed Demon added, "Faith is not merely recognition; it is a manifestation of will, a spiritual anchor, the most steadfast and sacred power in this world!

"Although the 'Power of Faith' may seem ethereal, if there are enough followers offering sacrifices to you, the benefits for your future growth will be unimaginable!"

"Oh?"

Link took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and asked, "So how exactly do we do this?"

"It's simple. You just need to make your subordinate believe in you and hold you in their heart as a deity, praying and worshiping you regularly. This way, a spiritual connection will form between you, and through this connection, you can bestow upon him the endless magical power of the Undead Realm and 'undead beings'!" The Big-Eyed Demon coaxed gently.

"Is it really that simple?" Link frowned, looking at the Big-Eyed Demon with disbelief.

"Absolutely!" The Big-Eyed Demon nodded confidently.

"But… isn't that a bit too cheap for that bastard Ron?" Link rubbed his chin, feeling somewhat reluctant.

In his view, if Ron wanted to draw power and undead beings from his realm, he should pay a hefty price! At the very least, he should find a few girls to reward his master, right?

But to his surprise, the Big-Eyed Demon's demands were so low!

This undoubtedly left Link quite dissatisfied.

"Of course, if the Master wishes, you can propose other demands, such as having him contribute a thousand souls!"

At that moment, the Big-Eyed Demon suddenly interjected.

"Wait, why would I need so many souls?" Link replied, speechless, shaking his head decisively.

"Master, the 'Power of Souls' is a valuable resource!"

A deep yearning sparkled in the Big-Eyed Demon's eyes as it fluttered its tiny wings and said, "Our Undead Realm has only just been born, like a newborn baby. The Power of Souls can be treated as nourishment. If there is a large supply of it, your Undead Realm will grow much faster, and correspondingly, your own power will become even greater!"

"Power of Souls, Power of Faith…"

Muttering these two strange and mysterious terms, Link suddenly raised his head sharply, gazing deeply at the Big-Eyed Demon. He said solemnly, "Big-Eyed Demon, I have a feeling you're still hiding a lot from me!"

"Uh… well…"

The Big-Eyed Demon froze for a moment, then forced a laugh and said, "Master, you're joking! I am your most loyal servant; how could I dare deceive you?"

"I didn't say you were deceiving me! I said you're hiding many things from me!" Link emphasized heavily.

As soon as he said this, the Big-Eyed Demon fell silent, its enormous eyes flickering with a look of struggle, as if it were brewing something, clearly revealing its inner turmoil.
