Slave Contract 2

I looked at Daiki with newfound admiration and restored fright. This one is not to be trifled with…the things he must have done to gain this power…I cannot imagine the half of it…a frightening resolution and might he has.

Daiki then looked up towards the man in red. Yet surprisingly he was no longer there, there was a girl in his place…or are they the same thing?

I inspected her and was in awe finding out that she is the demon king…I could only shudder at the gravity of our situation…

"Lilith…" said Daiki "What are the restrictions and usages of this choker"

"That is a slave choker Daiki, it is quite hard to make, and requires really nothing to use, just put it on anyone and they can become your slave, thought for it to work one of two conditions must be met, either the user of the choker is 100 level higher than the one being restrained, or to have the slave submit to being enslaved in the first place."

"So it cannot work if one refuses to be enslaved?"

"Right, only by accepting it, will it allow the restriction of one's freedom"

What? That is wrong! We were caught against our will and were enslaved against our wishes…I wanted to say that out loud but I need to remain silent for the moment…how come Daiki know the demon king?

"Interesting, so what does it actually do?"

"It restricts one's free will and will force them to do anything the master wishes to. Limiting the strength of the slave to but a tenth of the master then killing them instantly for trying to kill or harm the master intentionally"

"How do you activate such a thing, and how can one be the owner of the said slave?"

Why is Daiki asking such questions?

"You only need a drop of blood on the back of the choker. There is an imprint there which will register any that puts their blood there as the owner of said slave. If the blood ministration is not done by the master once every week the slave dies, if the choker is removed by external factors the slave will also die"

What?

To this information Daiki felt a bit shocked, even me…how come I didn't die?

"Then how do you explain her surviving?"

"That is simple, they are still unbound to any master…once bonded only their master can free them, and if he dies, so will they."

Daiki then approached the girls and squatted down, as they were both sitting on the ground he asked them a question

"I have a question to ask of you, and you only have one of two choices to make."

Haruna huddled with Misaka, fear was clearly apparent on her face.

"You don't seem to have an objection" said Daiki then he added "Your lives are now forfeit, you did horrible things to me back on earth, and some, did even worse things here in this world. I am not so cruel to treat bullying with death, so Haruna you will get off for free this time, as for you Misaka you get to choose one of two, death or slavery, perhaps you will atone for yourself in due time, but believe me if you dare choose death then an unholy sacrament awaits you"

It was only one choice from the beginning…Daiki couldn't bring himself to kill them, so he offered them this solution…a smart discussion to make, better than killing his comrades. At least the ones that didn't directly participate in his death…

Misaka, before she could speak, I went towards her and said

"Accept the offer…its better off being like this than dead…" I said fully knowing that that is a cruel thing to say, especially when I don't share her suffering…well it doesn't have to be that way.

"You, the woman in red" I said

To this the woman felt shocked, even the guards were whispering with each other, one laughing at the fact that I 'mistook' the gender of the 'clearly' looking man for a woman…

The girl then came down, and said

"You are able to see my true face, human. Keep it to yourself, I don't want my identity to be revealed…"

She said with a frightening tone…

"How come I met two people that are able to see who I am in one day…strange…very strange"

It's probably insight…it enables me to see unordinary things, yet who is the second one? Probably Daiki?

"Yes, eh your majesty? Right, are there more of those chokers here?"

He, or she answered by nodding, yes.

"There are some in the treasures near you, they are quite expensive so they fit as treasures."

I then took one and locked it on my neck, feeling weakened again, and surprisingly the girl became once again a man…it seems that it was true, insight was letting me see the true face of the people around me.

"What are you doing?" said Daiki.

"I won't let Misaka suffer this alone, I will stay in this state with her, until you forgive all of us…"

Daiki then face palmed swearing under his breath about women and their stupid sense of bond…

The man in red snorted, but decided to stay silent.

"As you wish, but believe me, it I can't guarantee forgiveness" he then looked at the demon in red and said "Is it possible to modify the choker's sealing of abilities?"

"Yes it is quite simple, you just need to will it not to activate that characteristic, it is quite useful too, many slave traders tend to turn this off so that their slaves could use their skills and abilities, too bad that only one tenth of the master's stat can be used by any slave"

"What do you mean one tenth?" said Daiki.

"It's a gimmick used by the slavers, ten percent of the master's stats are available to the slave, while their basic stats are omitted. It is of course to prevent them from rebelling, a slave with but a tenth of the master's power is truly not that strong, yet in some rare cases when the master is quite strong, it can help boost the basic stats of the slave."

(Daiki POV)

I bit on my finger and poured droplets of blood on each of the girl's collars, they all seemed to be silent for the moment, and they didn't even want to object…I felt quite repulsed when I was doing this, but it had to be done, it is payment for past transgressions…they needed to pay.

Slave contract established.

Current slaves

Misaka Zamehada (Level 136)

Haruka Kusanagi (Level 266)

Haruna Skuya( Level 110)

Hmm interestingly enough they are not badly leveled up, especially Haruka, she became quite strong.

"What the hell?!!" screamed Haruka as if shocked.

"This! This is supposed to be just one tenth?!!! How strong are you?"

She seems to have seen the upgrades to her stats…they can prove to be quite useful right now with this item, quite interesting indeed. It is similar to the pet/master skill I got back in hell, only a bit more potent.

"Very well." I said "Now I could really use that magic of yours Oh demon king"

"Indeed, but, it is sealed under the royal palace, and it will take a few days for it to be extracted. Will you wait until then?"

"I don't really mind, I am not in a hurry."

"What magic are you talking about Daiki?"

"The magic to take us back to our world, apparently under all my assumptions it actually exists…Yet before we use it, I still have some heroes to slay, and a kingdom to bring down to its knees…" I said with a grin that reached my ears. Fully knowing that with my newfound abilities, razing empires to the ground is not a problem, especially after having obtained three super soldiers, and already owning a literal army of hell, I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they see the devastation that will be brought upon their heads…
