Death… and me

Chapter 1288: More War Points

Roan wasn't concerned about it. There was no lack of witnesses who saw what he did, after all. However, things took longer than he expected, and he was forced to wait there for over an hour before Klin came back. It's just that Tixa was there with him as well. "What is it?"

Tixa smiled at him before saying, "I can vouch for you about these War Points. However, I'll need you to take command of a bigger group next time, being just beneath myself in terms of authority. I want to see if your commanding abilities back there was just a fluke or the real deal."

Roan narrowed his eyes, telling her in response, "I told you I only care about War Points."

Tixa nodded, clarifying, "That's why I'm giving you War Points for your achievements while commanding. It'll definitely be worth it as long as your performance is good."

Roan immediately asked back. "How many War Points are we talking about?" If it gave him more than what he could make alone, then he would take the offer without even thinking.

Tixa then thought about an offer. "How about 5000 points per battle? Of course, only if you perform as well as you did last time with your small group."

Roan looked at Tixa as if she was an idiot. In fact, even Klin looked at her with a weird expression. Noticing that, she couldn't help but ask, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Roan then pointed at his badge in Klin's hand, asking her, "Have you even checked how many points I made during this last battle?"

"This…" Tixa had to admit she didn't. She only heard from Klin that Roan probably found a way to fake his accomplishments since there was no way he could make so many points. However, he had never told her how many there were to start with. Tixa then looked at Klin before asking, "How many was it?"

"Ahem… 12740 points in total."

"What?!" Tixa was shocked by that number. "Impossible! Just how many Saint Realm cultivators did you kill to get these points?"

Klin shook his head, telling her, "There were many high-level Saint Realm cultivators in the logs. However, the majority of the points came from killing Elemental Transformation Realm enemies. There were even a few at the Late Stage marked down."

Tixa looked at Roan like he was a monster, saying with great shock, "I don't believe it!"

Roan shrugged his shoulders in response. "If you have any doubts, how about you bring out a Soul Binding Contract? Considering the number of points you have to pay me, it's definitely worth the contract's value. Not to mention that it will serve as proof in the future."

Tixa and Klin looked at each other before communicating through Divine Sense, 'He's probably asking for a Soul Binding Contract because he thinks we won't use it.'

'Indeed. The fact Roan asked for it could be said to be proof, or so he thinks. Let's see how he'll react when we really take a contract out.'

Klin nodded in agreement. 'Very well, I have one here, so let me do it.'

Soon after, Klin accepted Roan's request. "Good. Then let's use a Soul Binding Contract. By the way, the punishment for lying will be death."

Roan's expression didn't change one bit as he waited for the guy to write the contract. First of all, he had the Soul Gem System. Second, he wouldn't lie because that wasn't how he acted. Since he made up his mind to gain points, he would gain points, and every kill marked there was truly his. With that being said, even without the Soul Gem System, nothing would happen to him.

Klin and Tixa's eyes widened as Roan used his blood to sign the Soul Binding Contract. A few seconds later, it burnt away as its energy entered Roan's forehead. Obviously, there was no death penalty as his words were the truth.

Roan then glanced at the two and said, "Now then, where are my points? Regardless of whether I work on this commanding shit or not, I've already proved that I killed everyone that this badge registered."

Klin and Tixa immediately understood. Roan wasn't just a wandering cultivator like most people that joined. He probably came from a very big clan, guild, or sect. To them, they even thought he came from the Lanqueas Sect itself. In the Lanqueas Continent, it was the Lanqueas Sect that held power, just like how the Huring Sacred Land controlled the Huring Continent.

Klin then looked at Tixa before messaging her through Divine Sense, 'Your Vigal Army has some connections with the Lanqueas Sect, right? Do you know anything about him?'

Tixa shook her head, saying, 'No. But it isn't guaranteed he's from there either. Even if he is, maybe he's just here to train or something like that. It explains his ridiculous strength and his commanding abilities. Besides, now I understand why he never felt afraid of me and acted all cocky. He's gotta have a huge background behind him.'

Klin agreed with Tixa on that point before looking at Roan, telling him, "Very well. I'll put your points inside now. Sorry for doubting you. It's just that few would believe you were able to jump so many stages to fight and even kill opponents."

Roan nodded, not minding it at all. "What about you, Tixa? Do you want anything else?"

Tixa sighed before responding, "No. Since you legitimately got your War Points, we will obviously give them to you. Nevertheless, I would like you to be the second in charge of our division for the sake of our other missions. We can save a lot of lives here, you know?"

Roan shook his head, saying in response, "It all depends on War Points. Besides, anyone who joins this war is aware that they might die at any moment. With that, why should I care?"

Tixa added soon after, "I'm also willing to pay you 10000 points per battle as long as your commanding abilities are the real deal."

Hearing that, Roan's heart was finally moved. He made 12740 points in this last battle. However, one must remember that he was lucky with his first pick. The enemy commander sent his ranged cultivators to hold his group down even though that would put them in a terrible situation. If it was another situation, chances were that he wouldn't have reached 10000 points.

"Now we're talking," Roan said in response. "Very well, 10000 points per battle as long as I perform well in commanding.." He also thought, 'Not to mention that I can command them while fighting myself, so I can gain even more War Points.'
