1. After hurting people without meaning to, Lin Luo decides that even if he has to make a deal with the devil, he'll find a way to escape this problem.
He gathers eighty-one offerings and ventures into Six Mile Forest to make a pact with a devil, only to discover that this devil is "useless."
"You mean you don't have the power to solve my problem right now?"
"Then why were you summoning gales and making threats just now?"
The devil kneels expressionlessly on the ground, ears bright red.
"So you'll be able to help me once you've recovered your powers?"
"Mm."
"And I have to help you find your powers?"
"Mm."
Fine, then.
The pact is already sealed, so at this point, I might as well "work" for this devil.
But before you get your powers back...
"Can you turn into a dragon and carry me?"
No answer.
Looks like the other party doesn't have enough power for now.
After all, he'd lost his powers.
"Then once you get your first bit of power back, can you turn into a dragon and carry me?"
Still no answer.
Heh. You think I signed that pact for nothing? I'll make you turn into a dragon, one way or another.
As Lin Luo works himself to the bone, the "useless" devil at his side slowly regains his powers.
Looks like Lin Luo will soon be free of his problem.
2. After countless trials and hardships, Lin Luo's "working" days are finally about to be over.
"Why are you stammering?"
Just when Lin Luo is about to be free of the problem that's plagued him all along, this guy tells him he's lost his last bit of power?
"What are you saying? I've worked so hard for so long, and now you're telling me you still can't do it?"
Lin Luo is really angry.
Even devils have to honor a pact, don't they?
The devil before him cautiously addresses the furious Lin Luo. "Want me to turn into a dragon and carry you? I can turn into a golden dragon!"
Lin Luo turns and walks away.
3. Before one crisis is over, another begins.
Lin Luo is being hunted.
His crime: "helping the Demon King."
What? What? What?
Lin Luo turns to look at the "useless" devil.
...He does have a pretty strong Demon King vibe.
No, wait, let me "explain."
Back then, I only wanted to use the devil to solve my problem. I didn't go out of my way to help the Demon King, okay?
You want to know why I thought of making a pact with a devil?
Using a devil was the easiest solution I could think of, wasn't it?
"If you think he's a threat to the world, why not just kill him? Why are you trying to kill me?"
Looking at the Demon King standing in front of him, Lin Luo lets out a long sigh.
"Aren't you going to turn into a dragon and hurry up and get me out of here?"
