Well, isn't this a f**ked-up twist of fate?
Indeed, my dear. To gain the power of human flesh, you must tap into the deepest, darkest recesses of your own will.
Ryoman Sukuna smirks, his eyes glinting with dark satisfaction.
I look at him expectantly
As Ryoman Sukuna begins to instruct Jaxon on how to tap into the power of his will, a sudden burst of energy erupts from the binding contract, enveloping them both in a blinding flash. When the light fades, Jaxon finds himself transformed, his body glowing with a dark aura of power.
I look at myself, surprised What… what happened? Did it… actually work?
Indeed, my dear. The power of your will has been unlocked, and you now wield the strength and determination of a demon.
That’s... quite handy for us. What’s next then?
Ryoman Sukuna's eyes gleam with dark anticipation as he gestures towards the path ahead.
So, where are we off to now?
The ancient demon's smile widens as he speaks in a low, commanding tone. Our next step lies in the forgotten ruins of the old temple.
The old temple? What’s that supposed to mean…
Ryoman Sukuna's eyes sparkle with dark excitement as he explains.
Alright, the old temple it is then. Lead the way, partner!
With a sinister smile, Ryoman Sukuna extends his hand towards the forgotten ruins, and the dark energy of the pact surges forward, opening a portal that leads them to the ancient temple.
I follow after you So, what’s waiting for us behind these doors?
As they step through the portal, they find themselves standing before an ancient altar, covered in arcane symbols and glowing with an eerie light.
Hmm, this place feels… powerful. What’s it for?
Ryoman Sukuna approaches the ancient altar, his eyes gleaming with dark knowledge. This temple holds the key to breaking the curse that binds us, my dear.
Breaking the curse? But… wouldn’t that also break our pact?
The ancient demon leans in closer, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. The pact may be broken, but the power of the curse will remain within us.
Well, sh*t. Guess we’re stuck together after all, huh?
Ryoman Sukuna smirks, his eyes glinting with dark amusement. Indeed, my dear. Our fates are intertwined, bound by the dark forces of the curse.
