Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 1421: Vyn teymai ishkar en Vel’Araeyn, ee thaemar lai’ri en ilaeth nyro thar ves

While Aether was stuck in the Eternal Prison, in the Empires, everyone was panicking and worried about the sudden disappearance of Aether.

Dora was checking around her academy... thinking if they were hiding there or had fallen into some weird academy secret that she didn’t know.

Aria and Liora were running around the city to spot Aether or Delphine... or anyone who had seen him around.

Helena and the Archpriestess were looking around the outside of the barrier to see if he was anywhere nearby.

And in the Pyra Empire, inside Aether’s bedroom,

”Hmm... Is she alright?” Sandra muttered with a cold tone as she stared at Nyx, who was flinching and twitching with a painful expression, the small flower tattoo on her palm flickering furiously.

”Hmm... Her pulses seem normal, and her bloodline isn’t causing any harm to her,” Xara said with a calm expression as she checked Nyx’s body for any kind of abnormalities.

She turned to everyone... like literally almost everyone was here... Sandra, Celestia, Aqualina, Maelona, Emberlyn, Raven, Thalia, Selene, Nightfire.

Everyone’s faces twitched with fear and worry.

”Then why is she acting weird?” Thalia asked with a frown. ”It must be related to the Eternal Slave Contract, right? Something happened to Aether, that’s why it’s harming her!”

Xara sighed as she stood up while rubbing her hands with a wet towel.

”It’s not the Eternal Slave Contract. I don’t know if Aether told you this, but... the Eternal Slave Contract is actually a contract between gods or... between a god and a mortal.”

Everyone looked surprised, even Selene... looks like Aether didn’t tell them the truth.

Xara smiled softly as she continued, ”You guys heard his story, right? The one who took interest in him and put his soul in the world called Earth?” Her eyes drifted downward for a moment, remembering the strange weight of that tale, the impossible threads woven into Aether’s existence.

Everyone nodded... except Emberlyn, who didn’t know those details.

Sandra’s eyes widened as if she had already connected the dots. ”Don’t tell me... he made a contract with that thing?”

Xara shook her head. ”We cannot be 100% sure, but from the looks of it... I can be at least 50% sure, because Aether never knew he had ever made a contract with them... but one thing is certain. He made a deal with a god. It could be Mother or Arcane, too.”

Everyone’s expression turned serious.

Meanwhile, Nightfire was looking back and forth between Nyx and Xara... she didn’t know why these idiots were talking about that instead of finding Aether faster. She bit her nails with a worried and fearful expression.

Xara continued, ”The Eternal Contract isn’t like any normal contract. It’s something ancient... created for dealing with powerful beings. Especially gods. Because they always find loopholes in normal contracts. They manipulate words to their wishes, and mortals could not hold a candle to it...

That’s why the Eternal Contract was made to prevent that... It’s a binding agreement not even gods could break.

Not even after a mortal’s death.

Once you’re in... there’s no walking away from it. They stay connected no matter where they are or how long they’ve been separated... their contract exists beyond time and space.”

Xara turned to the lying Nyx and muttered, ”Yes, the reason she lost herself is that whatever is harming Aether... is harming the False-Owner. But don’t mistake it for a slave contract” Her eyes softened for a moment as she watched Nyx tremble.

Everyone raised their eyebrows in shock...

Aqualina’s eyes trembled. ”W-Wait... does that mean Aether is hurt—” Her voice broke before she could finish.

Xara ignored her and continued, ”And that means... the Eternal Contract connection is far superior to Aether’s Seal,” she said with a thoughtful expression.

Everyone blinked when she connected those things.

Selene sighed with an annoyed expression, ”Mom, I don’t think now is the time for—”

Xara ignored her own daughter’s words before saying coldly, ”Aether signed a Master and Servant Contract with an unknown Entity... and Nyx was a false Master. A medium for the Real Master.

As long as there is a connection... the Real Master or the False Master could summon him.”

Everyone looked shocked at that... their gazes shifting from one another.
