"I want your soul and you want to save that girl, so let's make this happen," Belphegor said instead of going into detail about special mortal souls as I asked him to.

It wasn't surprising that he knew I wanted to save Anna. But still, not knowing how he knew that I summoned him to save Anna was bothering me.

Not to forget, the devil doesn't just give you what you want, they always leave their client in more misery than before they meet them. Belphegor was working an angle here, I don't see it just yet. Also, he forgot to consider that n.o.body wants to give up their souls.

"No, not happening," I immediately rejected Belphegor's proposal. I wasn't buying his act.

Why was he suddenly so easy to talk to?

If Belphegor knows that I summoned him to save Anna then he should know that I don't have much time on my hands to continue this negotiation. He should be taking advantage of this fact instead, he decided to just give me what I wanted, though he did ask for my soul however this was just too easy.

Was I missing something or were special mortal souls just too irresistible for devils?

"Why is that? Don't you want to save that girl? Her physique and bloodline are durable but how long do you think she can hold on against that cutie's attacks?" Belphegor tried to persuade me but instead, he pointed me in a direction I did not consider before.

What if his sudden change was not about me or my special mortal soul, it was entirely about somebody else, for example, the semi-demiG.o.d chick that Belphegor referred to as cutie? When did the devil start to call a mortal soul so endearingly?

This slimeball was not just aiming for my soul but the soul of the semi-demiG.o.d chick attacking Anna. Considering that the physique of the semi-demiG.o.d chick allowed her to connect with this card world, I bet her soul met the criteria to be a special soul in Belphegor's books.

Belphegor planned to collect two special souls at the cost of one desire, which explained the sudden change in his att.i.tude. No wonder he went as far as to persuade me into considering his offer.

That's just great. I could use this to my advantage, I say so because this meant I wasn't the only one pressed by time, Belphegor was too.

Let's consider the offer Belphegor put in front of me. He promised to save Anna in exchange for my soul. However, saving Anna also meant killing the semi-demiG.o.d chick attacking Anna.

Belphegor doesn't have to kill the semi-demiG.o.d chick but he will kill her to get his hands on her special soul as the souls killed by the devil would be dragged to h.e.l.l by them.

Considering the semi-demiG.o.d chick's physique connected her to the world's will it would not be surprising to think that Belphegor had other plans for her soul.

This led me to believe that in some ways Belpgehor wanted the semi- demiG.o.d's soul more than my soul. As I had a feeling that her soul would help Belphegor invade this world. This was just me a.s.suming based on her physique which seemed like a doorway to this world's will.

"You are right it doesn't seem like she will be able to hold on for long," I said as if I was considering Belphegor's words.

But there was a problem, I had all the tools I needed but I did not know what it was that I could get from Belphegor. I know I did this to save Anna and all but since I am here I planned to get the most out of it. What was it that I could get from Belphegor? He was in some other realm, was his power even valid here in this world?

"Kid, just say the word," said Belphegor confidently. This guy was charismatic, his words made me feel if I agree with him all my problems will go away.

"How do you plan to save her? You are just a devil monster worm, how strong can you be in this world? As strong as a demiG.o.d. We both know a demiG.o.d is not enough to save her," I laid out the facts for Belphegor, even if he was a devil when he appears in this plane his ability will be at most of the demiG.o.d realm, and the semi-demiG.o.d chick had already shown that she had no problem dealing with a demiG.o.d.

"Let me worry about that," Belphegor dodged my question.

"Answer me Belphegor," I commanded the devil using his true name.

"Devil merchant code will save me from the suppression of this world's will as long as I am completing the task of my client," Belphegor answered me reluctantly.

"You gotta be kidding, this wasn't mentioned in the original copy of the devil merchant code you gave me. Belphegor tell me why it was not mentioned in the original copy of the devil merchant code you gave me?" I asked Belphegor in anger, feeling that I was tricked.

"Because the original copy of the devil merchant code I gave you was the customer copy," Belphegor wasn't thrilled to tell me this.

"Does that mean there is a devil merchant copy or something similar?" I yelled and then added, "Answer me Belphegor."

"Yes, there is and we called it the merchant copy," Belphegor said as if my adding devil to everything related to his profession was bothering him.

"Belphegor, give me the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code," I commanded the devil.

"I cannot," Belphegor answered resolutely.

"Why can I not get the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code, Belphegor?" I asked in frustration.

"Because the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code is only given to the devil merchants," Belphegor answered while gloating at my irritation.

"Then how can I get the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code, Belphegor?" Since the devil kept claiming that it could get me anything for a price it was about time I tested it.

"..." Belphegor stalled, not wanting to answer.

"Belphegor, answer me," I pressed the devil to answer me using its true name.

"By becoming a devil merchant or in your case a demon merchant, you can get the original merchant copy of the devil merchant code," Belphegor answered me grudgingly.

"Hold up, you are telling me, I can become a devil merchant, no, a demon merchant?" I immediately asked the devil, finding its words unbelievable.
