“Have you forgotten what I said, Ashton? You are me, and I am you. You are merely an interloper who has taken over this body!” Lord Ashdrake let out a mocking laugh and swayed his massive dragon tail, the mere movement causing the surroundings to shake violently.

Ashton’s eyes widened as he sensed the power emanating from Lord Ashdrake, which exceeded anything he had ever known. He couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if he could harness that power.

He furrowed his brow and asked, “What do you want from me?”

Lord Ashdrake’s voice echoed hollowly, as if traveling from a distant, ancient era. “I obviously want to supplant you and re–establish my sovereignty over the nine heavens!”

Ashton’s heart quivered as he sensed grave danger, causing his hair to stand on end throughout his entire body.

“You have nothing to worry about, Ashton. I might have escaped my eternal imprisonment, but I’m still trapped within your soul. I’ll return soon, though. You see, once you fulfill my contract, the scales of destiny will shift, and all of creation will burn in my rage and bow to my command once more.

“Do you crave the strength to crush all things? Do you want the power to dominate? You should stake your life against mine, then. You must either assimilate me or be consumed. Lord Ashdrake will rise again once we become one, and all shall kneel before us as the timeline rights itself!”

He knew that as long as his cultivation and strength continued to grow, Lord Ashdrake’s consciousness would eventually be extinguished. He would gain absolute control and possess all that power while remaining himself.

He was aware that it was a brutal struggle of wills, a conflict where only one soul could remain. He, however, was left wondering how he could possibly challenge Lord Ashdrake in a contest of wills and win.

“It seems like the game between us has officially begun! If you want power, then strike a deal with me! You ought to know that nothing is free in this world.

“You may sacrifice a quarter of your life in exchange for anything you want. I’ll ascend to rule the nine heavens once your lifespan is entirely depleted. Do you understand what I’m getting at, Ashton?” Lord Ashdrake asked in a tempting tone as he laid out the rules.

Ashton was stunned as he re–established eye contact with Lord Ashdrake’s incandescent gaze. He mused that the exchange was identical to looking in a mirror, revealing another side of his own being to him.

He then smiled grimly and said, “I get it now. If I can assimilate your will and steal your power before I’ve used up my life or made four deals, then I’ve won, and you’re erased. Conversely, should I finalize four such transactions before that point, I’ll be annihilated. Is that right, Lord Ashdrake?”
