Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 115 Hell Contract
Audrey closed her mouth in dismay and stopped talking in grievance. Geffenus on the side was also helpless. She had long heard that this relic was arranged by Hell. It was even possible that the encounter between the two of them and the dragon was secretly arranged by the power of Hell.

If there were no giant dragon, this relic would be as good as non-existent to them. They could only hope that behind the gate there were other things worth distributing besides that high-level artifact.

After Raphael's cursing, he felt refreshed and prepared to continue signing the contract. Soon, the treasure would be in his hands. Whether it took a year, ten years, or a hundred years, he would definitely find a way to use it.

The human-shaped Cambion rose into the air, a huge amount of dark magic gushed out, breaking his fragile and handsome appearance, two huge flesh wings stretched out from his back, and the black devil horns broke through the skull on his forehead. The devil revealed his true form, and the mysterious purgatory language called out to the witnesses of the contract.

"Sorores surge. Testis esto pacti mei."

"Come, sisters, be my witnesses! Notum sit in Baator!"

The devil's voice sounded like an ancient call. Two balls of hell's flames rose into the sky, and two graceful figures walked out of each.

“Notum sits in Baator.”

The flames went out, and two beautiful and seductive female devils repeated the Infernal Language in voices as sweet as candy. As a scroll dragon who was proficient in all languages, Nemesis understood the meaning of that sentence - be present in Battor.

This contract will be witnessed by the "Sisters of Justice" in the Nine Layers of Hell (i.e. Baator).

The two female devils were suspended in the air with an elegant demeanor, with perfect eight-tooth smiles on their faces. They were not real devils, but the embodiment of the rules of the Nine Hells, the judges of all devil contracts and transactions in the multiverse.

The meaning of lawfulness lies in justice. Even if the devil likes to take advantage of loopholes, hell will never allow any fraudulent contracts to appear. The "Sisters of Justice" are the best judges. If any devil comes up with a false contract to deceive mortals, they will have to receive the most severe and terrible punishment.

"My sisters, show the contract under the witness of Barto," Raphael announced.

The female devil seemed like a machine that had been turned on, calling upon the ancient power of hell to appear in the mortal world.

"Infernus contractus te Vocamus."

That is an ancient infernal language, meaning "the existence we call [Hell Contract] appears in the mortal world."

A piece of parchment emerged from the flames and soon appeared in front of Raphael. It was filled with a contract written in the language of Purgatory. Nemesis read it carefully and the general meaning was that if Raphael helped him open the door, he would need to give up a "Crown of Nether" inside the door.

"Crown of Nether?" Nemesis frowned. He was not unfamiliar with this thing. In the previous life's Baldur's Gate 3 game, this thing was the one that controlled the brain of the mind flayer named "Supreme God".

In the original plot, the villains in the game later stole this treasure from Raphael's treasure house. Did it originally come from here?
In this case, the storyline of Baldur's Gate 3 should not have begun yet.

Thinking of the multiple gods that appeared in the game and the importance of this thing, Nemesis felt relieved.

He wouldn't even dare take this troublesome thing even if it was given to him for free.

Nemesis closed his eyes and silently called upon the name of Oghma, praying that he would stop staring at him and help him check whether there was any problem with the contract before him.

Almost in the next second, everyone felt a sacred and vast will surrounding them, as if a being higher than this world was watching them.

The "Sisters of Justice" who had always had perfect smiles were also stimulated. They lost their smiles and bared their fangs dangerously. An extremely terrifying pressure emanated from their petite bodies.

"Wait, sisters, this is the condition I have agreed with the trader. Oghma will never interfere in the transaction." Raphael quickly stretched out his hand to stop him. A faint voice of "No problem" was heard in the air, and then the divine will disappeared without a trace.

Feeling Oghma's departure, the "Sisters of Justice" regained their perfect smiles, but a hint of resentment flashed in their eyes. The will of Hell hated these beings who could disrupt order with their own powerful strength.

With Oghma's permission, Nemesis was relieved. No matter what, he believed that Raphael had no ability to deceive the Lord who possessed all the knowledge in the world.

He signed his name on the Hell Contract with his own blood, and soon, the contract disappeared into thin air.

"Signed with blood, forged with fire, bound with bones, the contract is done!"

The Justice Sisters retreated after shouting "Baator". Raphael's expression relaxed as well, and he said jokingly, "Who said that they would never sign a contract with me?"

Nemesis snorted coldly. He had indeed gone back on his word. The devil's temptation was indeed fatal. It would always leave traders with no reason to refuse. Just like now, for him, all the terms in this contract satisfied him.

As for the Crown of Nether?

I have already said it, whoever wants to take that thing can take it, it will cause a lot of trouble.

What's more, according to the plot, Raphael won't be able to keep the crown for long even though he worked so hard to get it.

"Give me the scroll. I want to experience the feeling of releasing the [Great Disintegration] with my own hands." Nemesis stretched out his hand, somewhat impatiently.

Raphael shrugged. He didn't care about it. Although the [Great Disintegration] was precious, he had at least three similar scrolls in his treasure house. As an Count of Hell, Raphael's wealth was beyond the imagination of the natives of the main material plane.

Nemesis took the scroll and walked to the door. He touched the door lock and felt the surge of arcane magic.

The power of [Magic Seal] is so restrained and yet so strong that it will not harm anyone who comes into contact with it, but it also absolutely prohibits anyone who comes into contact with it.

However, the [Magic Seal of Mordenkainen], which has faithfully performed its duties for 30,000 years, will disappear today.

As the blue scroll was torn, unimaginable huge magic power revealed its true form in the air. It was the howling of the wind, the rage of thunder, and nature's punishment on all supernatural forces.

In just a moment, a shining green beam burst out from Nemesis' fingertips, a vibrating humming sound was heard in the air, cyclones swirled, dust flew, and the "Spear of All Protection" touched the "Shield of All Protection".

"Boom!"

A huge amount of energy appeared on the gate as if it were real, causing ripples. The six chains continued to disintegrate into dust and eventually disappeared into thin air.

The gate that had been covered in dust for many years collapsed.

The scene behind the door appeared before Nemesis. His pupils erected and his mouth opened in surprise.

　Today I have 6,000 words divided into three chapters. I feel that a chapter of 2,000 words is much easier to write than a chapter of 3,000 words.
