After the small feast Sylus had it was time for the contract, since he has agreed to perform it Damian wouldn't need to force his powers into him.
Sylus stood at the center of this living room, Damian opposite him, a circle of salt and sugar suarounded them and a small table was placed in-between them. Two glass cups sat at the center of the table one had a pinch of sugar and salt while the other was empty.
Thirty minutes to leave for Albatrou, thirty minutes to six o'clock if they hurry with no interference they would make it with a few minutes late, one hour here equals a day in Albatrou. Asta floated somewhere minding his own business while watching the drama having no idea what is about to happen, 'the faster they finish this the sooner Asha would take Damian away,' he thought.
The light was turned out and candles was lit and both sides of the table.
Sylus took the empty cup, he covered the top with his palm and the bottom with his other.
He focused his energy into the cup, the circle glowed as he began.
" Damian Tempest, The Eighth Sin of Apathy, empowered by the Pillar of Time and The Pillar of Balance I, king Sylus D. Astravorn, the second member of the KINGS and an outsider acknowledged, honoured and blessed with the membership mark of Albatrou " he took in a breath,
Damian smiled, his master has some powerful titles.
" order you to pledge alligence, submission, obedience and acknowledgement to me as you only master. You will serve my every need till the en_ till circumstance prevents us farther " Sylus pushed the now filled cup to Damian but not only did he not take it he frowned.
That's not what Sylus was supposed to say and he knows every will just by changing the ending he has changed the bonding to something else.
Sylus is also well aware of what he said, using the correct words for the sin and master bond will make it difficult or impossible for Lady Asha to brake it later on, plus he doesn't want to shelter another sin Asta is already a handful.
Looking at Damian who was unwilling to take that cup he sighed " Damian.....?"
" correct it" he shot back almost instantly.
The two men stared at each other changing the atmosphere of the room.
Asta wanted to laugh.
" fine " after some back and forth, realizing Damian isn't backing down, Sylus gave in.
He took a deep breath ' forgive me Captain I'm about to give you a difficult one' he apologized mentally.
Withdrawing the cup he continued " you will serve every need of mine till the end of our cosmic power for death can't do this bond nor us apart " he pushed the cup to him again this time the liquid in it was glowing blue.
Damian smiled but Asta did the opposite.
He took the cup and in one go he drank everything inside it.
The glass slipped from his hands and shattered into pieces before disappeared.
Thousands of emotions swelled within him and he couldn't contain his excitement, Sylus energy is far different from any other he has felt and every single muscle in his body screamed for more.
That wasn't the only reason he was happy though, there was no turning back after half the bond is created even if Asta noticed what was happening it would be too late, he couldn't stop it, he can't stop them now, he can not stop him and no one can.
He started laughing wildly or more like madly. The advantages of having master is far too great and he isn't gonna let Asta get in his way he would explore it to the fullest, if he finishes the bond first he becomes the primary sin of the master which means Asta would be under him although he is also gonna be the master's sin he would take orders from him too .
Meanwhile Sylus could feel part of him in Damian, watching him laugh his heart out made him feel uncomfortable, he could only think of how the captain would take care of this situation. The bond between a master and a sin isn't like any other even in Albatrou.
The bond seals their souls, if one is to die the other follows, if not the dead person's soul won't rest nor go to the afterlife, forever staying on earth to be served or serve, his hope she would be able to free him from the mess he created.
Asta on the other hand was watching the show with growing worry, when Damian stared laughing and uneasy feeling settled within him, he couldn't tell why but he felt like he was losing something, something was leaving his control, something but what.
It got worse when Damian who was now controlling himself looked at him but he really lost it when he shot that smirk at him, Asta knew that smirk too well, he gave that to thoes who have lost to him.
Lossing his composure he crossed the room in one move a knock the table over Damian saw it coming and picked the glass cup before it hits the floor.
Asta glared at him " What are you doing "
" completely the bond with my master young brother, what else does it look like" he answered.
" what's wrong, Asta do you have something to say" Sylus questioned.
" he's doing something, I don't know but I feel it " he turned to face Damian " you just can't allow me to let my guard down around you can ya? "
Damian just smiled "Little brother, you're distracting my master and me in our moment. Could you leave us for a second?"
" no"
"We both know he shouldn't be doing this longer it's time. If you interrupt him now, you'll only waste the little time he has left… and that would not be good for his health."
" let me go first then you can continue with your's " Asta said.
"You know that's impossible. If the master begins a task, he must insists on completing it before moving on to the next. So stand back and allow us to finish. Your turn will come shortly. But if you squander his time now… he may not be in good enough health to begin yours at all. And you wouldn't want that, would you?" he finished with a smile.
Damian wasn't wrong though, for the bond to succeed both physically and spiritually one need energy from both sides, one's spiritual side must be open to give and take enough. For Damian it's nothing since he's a sin but Sylus is a human and it would have great danger on his health the longer he keeps it open.
Asta stepped back a little but still decided to watch, as soon as he stepped out of the salt and sugar circle Damian cast a time spell, ' Obsidian stillness '.
It's a spell that freezes time a few feet away from the user, the user get to choose how far it should start and stops. Damian chose the distance of the circle he and Sylus stood in.
He and Sylus can move but everything outside the circle has stopped in time, it unfreezes around the house, so everyone outside is still moving.
" what do you think you're doing " Sylus glared at him .
" shall we continue master time does wait for me with just a simple command but I'm afraid it doesn't for you, fear not he would be fine and the world is fine too" he spoke as he placed both hands on the top and bottom of the cup.
Sylus watched coldly, he knew the guy was strong but he didn't know he was strong enough to cast spells with a flick of his fingers, he didn't even say anything not a single word to activate it yet here it is, a time spell that sounds harmless but dangerously powerful.
Honestly this is the first time he has seen Damian cast a spell, it didn't harm him in anyway but it still terrified him, and it's just one of God knows how many.
Although he is a member of the KINGS and could take Damian down early when it comes to physical strength,his time powers make him an impossible target, whatever you do he could just freeze you without you even knowing.
For someone like Damian, Sylus thought a demon like him should just be locked up....
