Chapter 990

"Yes. That is me. I am the Champion of the Twin Gods and the Lord of Avalon." Adrian replied as showed off the energy of life and death present in his body.

"I will accept the offer but only I should be the one with the burden. Please do not include my son in the oath." King Jerrick stated as he already made his decision.

"We need to include them as well since you might let them order others instead of yourself. We must make sure that there are no loopholes in out oath after all." Adrian stated as he does not want to have loopholes regarding the oath.

"I would like to politely refuse." King Jerrick stated but the crown prince spoke against his father's decision.

"I agree. Let me carry the burden as well as it is our people involved. I will bet my life for our people." The Crown Prince spoke out which caused shock to his father. The king wanted to make his son change his mind, but the crown prince did not waiver. The crown prince's determination made King Jerrick agree in the end as his son will not take no for an answer.

"Since we are in agreement, let me start the Oath." Adrian stated as he spoke the words, he memorized to summon the Oath Keeper of Death.

"I, Equinox, would like to make an Oath with King Jerrick. May the God of Death Abaddon be the witness to this oath." Adrian stated.

An eerie but calming energy then spread out from Adrian's body as the room suddenly got filled with Nether Mist. The individuals in the room felt something crawl into their souls as the energy of death is prevalent in the room. The door to the room suddenly creaked open but it was not a person or a soldier of King Jerrick's kingdom.

'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',

"What can I do for the Champion of the Twin Gods?" A dignified voice that came from the one that entered the room stated.

"I, Equinox, and King Jerrick will enter a binding oath under the witness of the God of Death Abaddon. Please be the mediator of the oath, Judge of the Underworld Aeacus." Adrian stated as he identified the being that came from the door.

NPC Name: Aeacus

Title: One of the Three Judges of the Underworld

Tier: Unknown

Level: Unknown

Description: One of the Three Judges of the Underworld and mediators of Oaths that make the God of Death as a witness. He is famed for his great judgement and fairness. He was once a great king that ruled an island kingdom full power powerful warriors that could shapeshift as they have been said to have been transformed from ants.

Aeacus looks like an ordinary man, but he was actually a wise king back when he was alive. The God of Death has been very appreciative of his ruling and fairness when he was alive that he was appointed as one of the judges of the Underworld along with two other great kings.

"This humble judge will make sure that the oath will be inviolable, Champion of the Twin Gods. Please state the terms of the oath." Aeacus stated as a stone throne manifested below him for him to sit upon.

"Avalon will aid King Jerrick's kingdom via food aide by offering the food for half the price. In exchange, they will not wage war to our nation or aid another nation in waging war with us. This will only continue until their kingdom can get back on their feet when it comes to food production. I can also cancel this oath when a hundred days have passed." Adrian stated as he believed that it will only take a hundred days to kill the all the Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

"The demand has been listed. Does the other party want to add something or any violent reaction?" Aeacus asked as he needed this to be fair.

"No violent reaction about the demand. I would like to add that Avalon will not attack my kingdom as well." King Jerrick added.

'',

"I agree with the additional demand." Adrian replied as he has no problem with that. He does not plan on becoming a conqueror or expand his territory now since managing his territory is already quite burdensome.

"I, Aeacus, have listened to the demands that both parties have agreed upon. If one party bends the rules, then they will suffer the consequences. If King Jerrick were to break the contract, then him and two generations of his descendants will be cursed.

If Equinox is the one to break the oath, then he will be sent to the Underworld to undergo the Trial of the Damned." Aeacus stated as an invisible power is brought upon them. A mark then appeared on their wrists that signified that the oath has been formed.

The mark on their wrists is the binding oath that they are in and will be in effect until the oath is broken. The mark looked like a chain with a skull on it since the oath is created through the God of Death. The mark also appeared in all of the descendants of the current royal family as they are also part of the oath.

"Well then, I will let the merchant know of our deal so they could deliver the goods to you. Regarding the angels, we will do something about them. The other kingdoms have yet to make a decision, but my friends are already on it." Adrian stated as he knew that Solstice and Vayu are currently talking to the other kingdoms with the aid of other shades.

Just as Adrian thought that everything would be swell and going according to plan, news from Creepysoo suddenly shattered his expectations. Creepysoo suddenly stated that the three angels arrived in the area but another one appeared. There are now four angels in the vicinity but the last one that arrived is different as her wings were grayish instead of pure white.
