Inside the room, the revered Holy Maiden of Light had a Demon Key dangling from her fingertip, her triumphant expression utterly wicked, more so than any witch.
Having seen the incantation to summon demons countless times in comics, Maggie uttered it fluently, as if she had memorized it.
“Demon from hell, I will offer you everything in exchange for your mercy.”
"Under the gaze of the Demon King Safa, despicable acts have nowhere to hide, and the souls of those who break their promises are annihilated."
As the last character of the incantation fell, a massive magic circle suddenly appeared beneath Maggie's feet.
A fierce wind swirled wildly within the magic circle, howling past Maggie's skirt and hair, and a sinister and terrifying aura gradually spread out, filling the entire room.
Just as Maggie thought the demon was about to appear, the magic circle beneath her feet suddenly expanded countless times, bursting out of the room and almost enveloping the entire royal city.
However, none of the people sleeping in the royal city awoke from their dreams; time seemed to stand still.
If you look out at this moment, you will see that the sky has turned into a deep purple like hell, and the moon has turned into a blood moon hanging high in the sky.
Maggie's reaction to the scene before her was beyond horror; her mind was filled with thoughts like, "Oh no, it looks like I've summoned a giant monster."
Is it a high-ranking demon?
No, even high-ranking demons don't have such a grand display.
Could it be a demon lord whose strength is comparable to that of a mage?
If she breaks the contract, there's no way she can beat them in a short time.
But it's not entirely hopeless.
As long as she grows fast enough...
She could only pray that it wasn't a hellish servant directly under the Demon King's command, otherwise she could have just typed "GG" (game over).
Maggie was heartbroken, but she still showed no fear or worry on the surface, instead pretending to be a fanatic eager to see the devil.
His eyes were fixed on the enormous demonic cocoon in the sky above the room with a desperate, almost frantic gaze, like a gambler at the end of his rope.
The demonic energy within the magic circle continued to leak out, enveloping the entire room and even the entire castle in a terrifying pressure.
Maggie's sense of unease grew stronger until the demon cocoon cracked with a crisp sound, revealing the person inside.
In an instant, Maggie's carefully constructed facade nearly crumbled, but her strong will to survive allowed her to maintain the facade.
The man inside the demon's cocoon and Maggie locked eyes. His deep purple eyes were like an abyss, and just looking at him made Maggie feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
The man seemed to have noticed the saint's robes on Maggie's body. A cruel and bloody smile slowly crept onto his handsome, wicked face, and a pair of pure black horns emerged from his long, pure black hair.
The bone wings on her back spread out and almost covered the entire room, also enveloping the frail Maggie.
The stark white bone wings, devoid of any flesh, approached Maggie's cheek with an icy edge. With just a slight exertion, Maggie's face would instantly bleed profusely, a stark contrast to the sharpness of the bone wings.
Just like the man in front of her, cruel and ruthless.
"Your wish."
The man looked down at Maggie as if she were an ant, and only when he touched Maggie's saintly robes did a slight interest flash in his eyes.
"My esteemed demon lord, I have only one wish: I want to become a magician!"
Maggie's face lit up with excitement, and her voice trembled slightly with the joy of her wish coming true.
"oh?"
When the man heard this wish, he raised an eyebrow and looked somewhat surprised, as if he hadn't expected Maggie's request to be so simple.
"I can grant you even greater power."
The man's slender eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something interesting. He suddenly became very interested, and his deep, seductive voice coaxed him in.
"Really?! Devil Lord?!"
Maggie immediately showed an expression of extreme surprise, her faith in her eyes becoming even more fervent, as if she had completely taken the bait.
"I never lie."
With a gentle flap of his bone wings, the man slowly landed in front of Maggie. The next second, the enormous bone wings vanished instantly, leaving only the man's tall and slender figure enveloping Maggie.
The man lowered his eyes, feeling Maggie's body trembling with fear and excitement, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Maggie kept her head down, her whole body tense, even her calves were about to cramp from the tension, but she still gritted her teeth and continued to act.
She suppressed her excitement, feigned hesitation, and spoke tentatively.
"But....."
The man raised an eyebrow slightly, his magnetic voice seemingly hooked, like a devil from hell who is most adept at bewitching people.
"Say it."
Maggie seemed encouraged and looked up at the man with expectant eyes.
"My Lord Demon, I am now a saintess of the Temple of Light, and I do not want the Temple of Light to discover that I have become your follower."
As Maggie spoke, she realized there was something ambiguous in her words and quickly added something else.
“This is not a betrayal of you. I am willing to abandon the temple and be your faithful servant.”
Her hurried tone was as if she were telling the man that she was eager to show her loyalty and desperately craved the power bestowed by the devil.
"So, can you slowly bestow your power upon me?"
Maggie's almost useless talent is undeniable; a man only needs one glance to see her true level.
She is also the Holy Maiden of Light. By piecing together the information, it can be concluded that she is a useless person who deceived the temple and stole the identity of the Holy Maiden of Light. Now, fearing that her deeds will be exposed, she sought out the demon to exchange for power.
In fact, that's absolutely right.
The only variable is that Maggie is no longer the original Maggie, but the soul of an outsider.
The demon contract is not inviolable. She has a natural way of cheating. As long as the contract is made under the name 'Maggie' and the price is paid, the so-called price cannot be applied to the real her, that is, to 'Bai Xi'.
This is what gave Maggie the confidence to use the Demon Key. However, she never expected that the demon she summoned would be the one in the spell that witnessed the formation of all contracts.
The man before them was none other than the Demon King Safa.
Regardless of how bitter Maggie's mouth was, the Demon King Safa was clearly pleased by Maggie's loyal attitude, his smile deepened, and even his voice was filled with pleasure.
"It's just a small request, which I can grant."
As Safa finished speaking, the demonic pact between the two was officially established.
Almost simultaneously, Maggie could clearly feel a power surging within her that did not belong to her, forcefully breaking through the bottleneck that was trapping her.
Without lifting a finger, she became a one-in-a-million magician, a gap that she, with only level 1 magical talent, could never cross in her lifetime.
