I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 225: Devour Session

After he was done doing some outline for the new skill, Miguel did not rush and snapped his eyes open.

He summoned his grimoire that was hiding in the Inner World and let it spit out six grimoires in total.

Two of which were Silver Grade while the remaining were of Bronze Grade.

At this moment, Miguel’s grimoire already has some bronze-colored vine-like lines adorning its cover. At the edge of the cover was a similar vein-like lines but it was silver of color.

Including the one before, Miguel had now killed a total of 3 Silver Grade Grimoire users from the Dark Snake Assassin Group including their leader, Liam.

The first one was from the first assassination attempt.

The mission was very important, it was not a wonder why Liam decided to send five grimoire users and one of them even owned a Silver Grade Grimoire. It still failed in the end, though.

According to the information provided by that broker, there were not any Silver Grade Grimoire user in the assassin aside from their leader, Liam.

However, yesterday, Miguel killed another Silver Grade Grimoire user along with Liam.

Miguel did not think too much about the inaccuracy of the information.

There was a possibility that the dead had already been crossed out, while the Silver Grade Grimoire user he killed yesterday was a recently advanced one.

MIguel hovered for his grimoire to devour the four Bronze Grade grimoires first.

The scene had always been magical and resplendent in the eyes of everyone.

Even Edith, who sensed the situation could not help but look and come over to see.

Aaliyah also came out of her workshop.

The Dark Veil Beast sat above the Scorching Water Tortoise shell as they came over to watch as well.

The marvelous scene of a grimoire consuming another grimoire was like a magical show for them.

Even though they themselves possessed extraordinary powers, they still could not help but be in awe of the sight in front of them now matter how many times they look at it.

Miguel’s grimoire was quite efficient. It did not take long for it to devour the four Bronze Grade grimoires.

After it was done, Miguel noticed that only the center-most portion of the cover was not covered by the bronze-colored vine-like lines. Miguel nodded his head and knew that it only needed to consume one more Bronze Grade grimoire before it could create another one.

Miguel allowed the grimoire to continue devouring. This time, it devoured the two Silver Grade Grimoires one after the other.

After it was done, the silver vines at the edge of the grimoire’s cover had spread slightly towards the center.

With it devouring three Silver Grade grimoires in total, it should be able to condense an ownerless Silver Grade Grimoire after devouring another seven in the future. That was if the requirement was the same as the Bronze Grade Grimoire.

Although Miguel still did not know what use they had aside from their own unconfirmed conjectures, Miguel was still not disheartened and would just continue to accumulate them if he could.

What was regrettable, though, was that he was not able to get anything from the Silver Grade Grimoire of others.

He had already guessed previously that if there were any treasures, the Dark Snake Assassin leader should have stored all of them inside his Silver Grade Grimoire.

Unfortunately, Miguel was unable to open the grimoire of others and could only allow his own grimoire to devour them.

If it was like this, Miguel wondered how the people of this world extract treasures from their opponent’s grimoire.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, there was a profession that specialized in opening the Storage Ring of others.

Storage Rings were personal items of cultivators. Low-level cultivators would just imprint the Storage Ring of their spirit and will to mark it as their own. It was easy and low-level cultivators could use such methods to make the Storage Ring follow their will.

The downside about this method was that after they die, another person could erase the brand they made and make the Storage Ring switch owners.

High-level cultivators could also forcefully bypass such methods of branding, hence, high level cultivators themselves would create more measures to secure their treasures.

They would create formations or they would create a special password that only they would know.

The profession that Miguel was talking about specialized in bypassing such passwords. Of course, the fee was not cheap, so it was also considered a lucrative job in the Immortal Cultivation World.

However, the clear difference between a grimoire and a storage ring was that the former would automatically disappear once their owner dies.

If that were the case, it would not be strange if the people of this world had not discovered the method to extract treasures out of grimoire storages yet.

Miguel asked Aaliyah about this but her answer was negative. She also did not think that something like that was possible.

As for Edith, she said that she just threatened her enemies with their life and they would immediately give every treasure they had inside their grimoire in fear. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

In short, her method was to rob others.

Miguel did not think too much about her idea as it was not the one he was looking for. There were bound to be enemies that were unwilling to give their treasures even at the cost of their life, so being able to extract treasures out of ownerless grimoires directly was a good ability to have.

In the end, Miguel could only shake his head and put this thought at the back of his head.

While he was at it, Miguel finally decided to contract the Dark Veil Beast.

After observing its behavior during these past few days, he noticed that it was quite obedient and smart.

As for wasting a blank page of grimoire, Miguel did not think too much about it anymore as the World’s Will would reward the Grimoire users of free pages if they had an outstanding performance from time to time.

After telling Edith and Aaliyah about his thoughts, the two of them nodded their heads in agreement.

Aaliyah was a little bit reluctant at first as she did not think that a Dark Veil Beast was an outstanding beast to be contracted and waste a grimoire page.

However, she respects Miguel’s decision and was not particularly against it.

So what if they had a weak member joining their rank? As long as the main party was powerful enough, no one would be able to defeat. Aaliyah was quite confident in this regard. What they needed was just the time to mature.

MIguel nodded his head and immediately called the Dark Veil Beast over.

The Dark Veil Beast was quite intelligent so Miguel explained his intention to it directly.

After he expressed his words, the two holes in the dark cloth widened as if it was acting surprised.

It then hopped up and down joyously, expressing it’s happiness for having the chance to get contracted by Miguel.

It nodded its head repeatedly and cutely toward Miguel. It was unfortunate that there were no visible eyes in the two holes, as if there was, it would surely have watery eyes at this moment.

Seeing it agree, Miguel nodded his head and immediately willed the grimoire to initiate the contract process.

The grimoire adorned with the bronze and silver vine-like lines floated in mid-air not far from the Dark Veil Beast.

It flipped on its own and settled on the fifth page.

The first page was occupied by MIguel’s profile and information, the second page was that of Aaliyah, the third was that of Edith and the fourth was that of the Scorching Water Tortoise.

As for why it had become last, Miguel guessed that it was due to Aaliyah and Edith being his Innate Beast. As Innate Beast, they should come in first on the list.

As for the Dark Veil Beast, it should be able to settle on the fifth page after it was contracted.

A hexagram-like symbol materialized beneath the Dark Veil Beast which was then engulfed by the light it emitted.

The contract was initiated and the Dark Veil Beast accepted it without any hesitation. It flashed into a stream of light toward the grimoire and at that instant, it’s information was immediately listed and reflected in the previous blank fifth page.

Miguel nodded in satisfaction as he stared at the information of the Dark Veil Beast.

Seeing it’s very normal information sheet, Miguel nodded his head without much thought. This was expected from the start.

[Name: Dark Veil Beast

Grade: Bronze

Type: Elemental

Description: An ordinary Dark Veil Beast with a little higher intelligence compared to the same species.]

The Dark Veil Beast does not have an Innate Skill and the only skill it has was [Phase Through] and [Visibility Concealment]

After that, Miguel saw it’s deepest information, like what he had seen on the Volcanic Tortoise from before.

Miguel’s eyes twinkled in anticipation as he waited for what surprises the Dark Veil Beast would reveal to him.
