" Elly , go on ahead please . I need a minute ." He shouted in a fl.u.s.tered manner .

Leah was having fun killing monsters of this level , and whenever they killed monsters , both her and her brother profited , because it increased the growth Boost for the both of them .

She had no reason to decline , so she just shrugged and went on down the stairs .

Leo thought why she was acting like a different person , but just glossed over it . ' Must be because of all the monsters .' He thought to himself .

He reached to the back of his neck and felt the tattoo , that had been there till now .

All dark energy you harvest using the Mark Of Death will be transferred to your contracted death G.o.d . The number of sides denotes the number of transformations .]

There was a image of the Mark below the information he had . It was a white skull in the middle of a black pentagon . He was slightly shocked by how realistic that skull looked . It looked almost as if it was ready to jump out of the tattoo and eat him up .

' A weapon , huh .' He thought . ' All my body is used to is a scythe .'

' Should I try some other weapon ?' He thought back to all the swordsmen he had saw ' Hmm ... '

[ The weapon most suitable for user Leo is a Scythe ]

Right after this alert , Leo saw the changes in the Mana around him . He witnessed as the blue Mana slowly compressed , and compressed , and compressed , until it turned black and slowly solidified .

He didn't know what to call the parts , but slowly from the middle of it , the long hand ( A/N: The stick :p) slowly formed , then slowly as it reached 1.9 meters , the blade started forming . The blade didn't look like a blade at first , just a badly placed extension of the wooden stick was , all it was , but then it was as if it came to life . It extended outwards , for another 40 cm . The curved blade's tip as if looking down at Leo , turned towards him . Leo looked back at the scythe . The stick slowly thickened , to a diameter of 3cm , and at the top , where it was supposed to hold the blade , it released even more of the black Mana that slowly transformed into a claw . The claw looked familiar to Leo , because no matter how he looked at it , it looked the same as his own .

He looked at the scythe in front of him , as if he was in a daze . The claw which was still open , started to close . The 5 fingers , 2 on either side of the blade and one behind it , slowly closed in on the blade . As they reached a centimetre from the blade , they reached back and directly threw themselves on the blade . He watched on as 2 chains extended from the claw and went down the whole length of the hand and slowly , in a helix pattern , wrapped around the scythe . At the end of the scythe , the chains seemed to end , but at the same time did not .

He waited for more to happen . He wanted it to look more vicious , more deadly . But nothing happened . The scythe and him , both stared at each other , none wanting to move an inch .

But nonetheless , Leo felt a faint familiarity with the scythe . ' You are the same as me .' a voice slightly feminine , rung in his head . ' We both desire death .' This time he was sure it was a female's voice . ' For no reason , whatsoever .' His heart started beating loudly and the scythe vibrated ever so slightly . ' Make me your slave .' He heard it again . His feet moved without his knowing . The scythe which was about 10 metres away , started coming closer . ' Hold me .' The voice said .' Tame me .' It shouted . ' Use me .' It screamed . ' Let's end everything ' it stopped for a while . It waited for Leo . He reached out his hand , almost ready to hold it ' until only you and me are left .' it said in a voice , gentler than ever . The voice seemed to have a hypnotic power , but when it reached Leo's ears , it woke him up instead . He sneered as he held onto the scythe " You , will be my slave , just like him " His wings appeared behind his back and his eyes s.h.i.+ned brighter . " You will obey me , just like him ." His hand turned into claws as his hair extended in length and turned black . " You , " His voice became deeper as his maw appeared " will be mine , just like him ." His skin turned tougher and his tail appeared . " And I , will use you both , " His tail hit against the ground , and the floor shattered " Because You , belong to me ." Everything disappeared , The scythe turned back into black Mana as it got absorbed by leo , all his manifestations disappeared , and he returned back to being a human with the same golden eyes he had before .

' As you wish , master ' He heard her voice one last time before he fainted .

Leah hurried back as soon as her connection with her brother got interrupted .

[ User Leo has entered in a master-slave contract with the Mark of Death .

User Leo's position : Master ]

[ It is recommended to not disturb User Leo as he talks to his familiar for the first time ]

[ The system will have to take drastic measures if user Leah , tries to disturb User Leo during this process ]

From the system's warnings , she knew her brother was doing something risky , but regardless she ran back up the stairs and his somewhere where he will not be able to see her . She could see Leo and if he focused , perhaps he could see her too .

He hid and watched as the Mana in the air congealed into a scythe . Even she was hypnotised by the scythe's beauty for a while . She was finally awoken when she heard a voice in her head .

" You are the same as me ." She thought it was an illusion , but she heard it again slightly more feminine this time " We both desire death ." She listened on as the voice became more and more like a girl's " For no reason whatsoever ." She was stunned . ' What's happening ' The voice started sounding seductive " Make me your slave " It sounded meek " Hold me " Her ears rang as it shouted " Tame me " They were about to bleed as it screamed " Use me " She held onto her head as Leo neared the scythe . It sounded seductive again " Let's end everything " like a girl calming her lover it said " until only you and me are left ."

Leah saw it . She saw the images in Leo's head . She saw him destroy the world . She saw him kill everything . She saw him point his scythe ... at her . Her heart beat . She was going to see herself die . The scythe was controlling Leo's thoughts . But everything stopped before the blade reached her neck .

She felt Leo's Mana leak , going out of control . His wings appeared as he sneered " You , will be my slave , just like him ." His hair turned black and extended and he held onto the scythe with his claws " You , will obey me , just like him ." His mouth became a maw " You ," as his tail moved around like a snake " will be mine , just like him ." She didn't notice but under his clothes , his scales had appeared .

The scythe released a dark aura as if to resist him , but Leo overpowered it easily . His tail hit against the ground with all of it's momentum and the ground sank ." And I , will use you both " Taking him with it ."because you , belong to me ." The cythe turned into Mana and entered Leo's body and all of the dragon's body parts disappeared .

' As you wish , master ' the scythe said in a seductive voice .

[ You may approach user Leo ]

[ For the next 20 minutes , User leo will be in a recovery state ]

She ran up to him and sat beside him . She looked at the victorious smile on his face as she softly his his chest " You said you won't make me worry ." She put her hand on his face and slowly shook her head " But I guess you are not the only one to blame ." She took out a piece of clothing from her Card and softly placed him on it . " I want to worry for you , after all" She sat beside him as she stared at his face , waiting for the 20 minutes to pa.s.s .
