CAT WARLOCK: This Darklord Feasts Upon Horror-Chapter 265: Submission Pact

"It certainly feels more powerful, Master." Crow said.

"I have an idea, Crow. I’d like to test it." The black panther in iced armor growled.

"What is it, Master?"

"I want to see if I can establish a Psycho Pact with you."

"A Psycho Pact? Wouldn’t this conflict with the Submission Seal?" Crow rubbed his chin.

"I doubt it. They are both my power after all."

With servants, Mater didn’t need to come into direct contact with them. He could flood Crow’s body with his Chaos via the Servant and Master Seal.

Mater raised his paw, the Abyssal Master Seal appeared. He channeled Chaos through it.

Immediately, the Abyssal Servant Seal appeared on Crow’s body. It still had the same symbol as before.

A knife with its handle dispersed into wavy lines.

Suddenly, with the new power of the Psycho Pact. Or more precisely, Mater’s interpretation of the Psycho Pact.

His Psycho Pact was more intricate, more powerful, and overall more complex. He only used the base nature of the Psycho Pact to create his own Pact.

The Pact fused with the Servant Seal. A second layer of pattern appeared around the Servant Seal. It was the Octagram again. The Abyssal Knife was inside the Octagram.

The Warlock Pact combined with the Submission Seal had created another version of Warlock’s original Artifact.

"Interesting... Psycho Pact could reinforce the Submission Seal. Whoever made this skill was a brilliant Chaos User... Or maybe a brilliant Warlock.

It almost feels like it’s perfecting a part of the Submission Seal. This shouldn’t be called a Submission Seal anymore. This is a Submission Pact."

Crow saw himself inside the dark red space like how Selina had been.

Crow’s white eyes widened as he observed the mystical space.

"Your power is grand, Master."

Mater’s golden eyes floated above looking down to Crow. "That is obvious. See if you can use my spells also."

"Yes, Master."

Crow was much stronger than Selina. He could equip five of Mater’s total spells and with much quicker preparation time also. Crow channeled the power within the paintings and connected with the Dark Grimoire. Currently, Mater only had 12 Rank-1 spells because his Death Plates and Glacial Touch had fused into one.

Crow took Chains of Shadow, Desperation Scream, Water Clones, Blinding Void, and Crow’s Call.

In the real world, Crow opened his eyes. He had now gained access to the new spells.

"See if you can use the spells, Crow." The panther growled.

"Yes, Master." Crow nodded.

He raised his hand. A black chain shot out from within him. That was Chains of Shadow. As he was a shadow, the chain could manifest directly within him.

Then he used Desperation Scream. He had no visible mouth but he could still release a sound wave in front of him.

Then the Blinding Void. A ball of darkness exploded and blinded the poor insects within the affected area.

Last was Crow’s Call. The deafening noise that the dead could only hear swept through the area. Crow could hear it but he wasn’t affected by it.

"I can use those spells, Master. But they seem to be weaker than when you used them." Crow said.

"Hmmm. Because you borrow them, they are weaker, eh? I’m going to lend you some of my Chaos, try to use Chains of Shadow again."

"Yes, Master."

Mater’s Chaos flooded Crow’s body through the Submission Pact.

Crow used the Chains of Shadow again. Instead of one chain, he could summon several chains at the same type. The effect was truly more powerful than Crow using it themselves.

"I see. You can only use their power fully if I grant you my own power."

"That seems to be the case, Master."

"There is something else as well... Relax your body, Crow."

"I am relaxed, Master."

Through the Submission Pact, Mater took control of Crow. He saw through Crow’s eyes, heard through his ears and felt through his skin. He could even control Crow’s body like Mater was Crow.

"This is... possession. But it was different from specter possession. It is Pact Possession." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Crow jumped up in the air and turned into a strip of shadow. It was Mater trying out Crow’s abilities. He summoned a Nether Sphere and swirled it around.

Mater was very clumsy with it. He might have Crow’s power but he didn’t have Crow’s skill.

Once he finished testing the Pact Possession, Mater released control over Crow and returned to his body.

Crow touched his chest and all over his body, "That was weird."

"Now. It’s time for what I am waiting for. Let me see if I can use your ability."

Mater channeled the link between him and Crow. He tried to use the Abyssal Dash ability. Mater turned into a strip of darkness and bolted in the air.

"It worked!" The panther growled.

"Oh!" Crow clapped his hands. "Can you also transform, Master?"

"Unfortunately, no. I can only use your spells. Not your Passive Abilities."

Once Mater had completed all of his experiments, he and Crow went back to hunting the wraiths.

"Let’s try to collect another ten Gemstones, Crow."

"Roger, Master."

The Void Wraiths were incomprehensible monsters. They consisted of geometric shapes and abstract forms.

Mater and Crow met all kinds of Void Wraiths. They saw a floating cube with six eyes on each side. It shot red beams in all directions.

Mater used his new Abyssal Dash, the ability taken from Crow, and combined it with Spike Ball to increase its speed even further.

He slammed on the cube and neutralized it in one shot.

"Another Chaos Gemstone!"

Next they found a group of five Void Wraiths, each was a geometrical shape.

Mater flew around in the Spike Ball form while gaining speed through Abyssal Dash. It was easy for him to take care of these Rank-1 threats.

Mater and Crow worked hard during the night to collect the Chaos Gemstone.

Mater accumulated 9 Chaos Gemstones. Then they saw a particular Void Wraith.

That one was not a Rank-1 specter. It was a Rank-2.

"Hmm." Mater’s Octagram Chaos Eyes appeared.

Rank-2 began at Level 11 and ended at Level 40. Beings at Rank-2 were usually separated into three minor ranks like Warlock’s Locks and Keys.

Level 11 to 20 was Minor Rank-2.

Level 21 to 30 was Medium Rank-2.

Level 31 to 40 was Major Rank-2.

Mater had successfully created his second key, the Key of Thirst. Statistically speaking, he was level 30 at the moment.

That Void Wraith in front of Mater was a Minor Rank-2. Its Chaos level was around level 15.

"Do you need my assistance, Master?" Crow said.

"Just stand there, Crow. I need to work out a little." Mater licked his lips.
