Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!

As Logan picked up the [Purple Space Crystal], Holt felt a sharp pain in his heart.

But on the outside, he still acted generous, putting his arm around Logan's shoulder and saying: "Logan, I'm telling you, the familiar the council gave you isn't ordinary. Even though it only has an A-level 3-star ranking on the surface, the former chairman once thought that if properly trained, it could even evolve."

Then, Holt leaned in close to Logan's ear and whispered: "And I'll tell you this—don't think ghosts don't have a body. Once they're bonded with a human, the tamer can actually use the ghost's body. That feels pretty good, huh? Hahaha..."

Logan saw Holt's perverted look and nodded quietly. "Thanks, Holt. I'll absorb this [Purple Space Crystal] and see if it's as good as you said."

Holt saw that Logan was already eager to bond with the ghost princess, and he felt happy inside.

So he bowed to Logan with his attendants and said: "Well, I won't keep you any longer, Logan. By the way, there's an annual familiar ranking competition next month across the whole federation. Maybe you can take this ghost and get a good rank."

Logan politely bowed and smiled, "If I win, I'll personally thank you and your family."

Holt laughed and left with his attendants.

As soon as they left Star Lake, Holt's warm smile turned into a cold one. "Hmph, do you think you can win a ranking? Logan, you're already in trouble—don't dream about it anymore!"

In the main hall of the Lake Island Temple.

After Holt and his group left, old Tattalia came in.

As soon as they met, he warned Logan, "Holt is now Alex's favorite council member. I'm telling you, he didn't come just to give a gift. Even though Holt is a fool, Alex is a very cunning guy."

Logan nodded silently and looked at the ghost Heserion in the cage. "It doesn't matter. Alex will soon realize that he's the real idiot."

At that moment, Natalia entered the temple hall. She saw Logan holding the [Purple Space Crystal] and raised an eyebrow. "Not bad, huh? I didn't expect the council to be so generous. I'm starting to think there's a trap behind this."

Logan just shrugged when he heard that.

The trap was clear—it was all about Heserion.

But for Logan, this trap was useless.

"Let's not talk about the trap right now. Just now, Holt mentioned the Federation Familiar Rankings. What's the prize for that competition?" Logan changed the subject directly, looking curiously at Natalia and old Tattalia.

"The Federation Familiar Rankings is an annual Familiar Arena event. It's a one-on-one battle between familiars. During the competition, the tamer can't step onto the arena—they have to rely entirely on their familiar's strength and strategy." old Tattalia explained, then sent Logan the list of last year's top familiars.

The Federation Familiar Rankings only accepts Master-level familiar tamers. It's held once a year.

Through a series of match points and elimination rounds, the top 512 familiars in the federation are chosen.

The top 512 get rewards from the federation, and the prizes for the top 8 are even something the Genius Training Camp would envy.

Natalia, who was standing nearby, noticed Logan's interest in the competition. She rolled her eyes and smiled. "You're not actually thinking of using that ghost in the competition, are you?"

Logan grinned. "Why not? I want Alex to know just how strong the familiar he gave me is."

Natalia laughed and covered her face. "Don't think it's that simple. The Federation Familiar Rankings only has the best tamers in the whole federation. You shouldn't underestimate the others."

Logan just shrugged and took a look at last year's familiar rankings.

The top eight Master-stage familiar tamers all had familiars ranked A-level 3 stars or higher.

Almost every one of them was at Master 5 stars, way above Logan's familiar.

After knowing this, Logan turned to look at Heserion inside the iron cage and smiled. "You'd better work hard."

After sending off old Tattalia and Natalia, Logan quickly called out his black ant and moved the iron cage holding Heserion down to the underground space, right in front of Yepera's corpse.

Through the cage, Logan took a close look at Heserion.

At that moment, her hands, legs, and neck were all chained.

Powerful Rune Arrays were suppressing her mental power, keeping her in a deep sleep.

This must be to stop her from escaping—ghosts can pass through solid objects after all.

Thinking about that, Logan smiled and took out the black dog blood and black donkey hoof he had prepared ahead of time.

He wasn't a potion master, but mixing the two materials wasn't too hard.

Soon, he poured the mixed potion into Heserion's mouth.

Since Heserion was a spirit, she couldn't just drink the potion normally. Logan had to use his mental power as a bridge to connect the potion with her spirit body.

After about ten minutes of merging, the whole potion was absorbed by her spirit.

Her originally pale blue and translucent body became much more solid.

"There, that should be fine." Logan said, then reached through the cage and placed his right hand on Heserion's forehead.

At that moment, a contract mark of Heserion appeared in Logan's Soul Sea, and this ghost princess was officially his familiar.

But because Logan's stage was only Master 2 stars, Heserion's stage was limited to Master 3 stars.

Instead of waking her up right away, Logan chose to continue his retreat.

Based on his previous experience, he kept carving Resonance patterns in his Soul Sea, including Heserion's soul contract in the process.

"There, that should be fine." Logan said, then slowly untied all the chains on Heserion.

Heserion quickly regained consciousness and opened her eyes. "Damn you, human!"

As soon as she saw Logan, she tried to release a series of mental power attacks to control him.

But just as she started, a sudden feeling of danger flashed in her mind, and she immediately stopped.

As a ghost, Heserion knew her own soul state well.

"How could I be enslaved by you?" she looked at Logan in shock, her face full of disbelief. "This is impossible! Human's mental power can't control me! Who are you?"

Logan wasn't surprised by her reaction.

He slowly walked up to her, sat cross-legged, and told her everything that had happened.

Heserion finally realized that Logan was now her master, and reluctantly accepted the truth.

However, since her soul power was too strong, the familiar contract couldn't fully control her. So she refused to call him Master. "Logan, don't think just because we made a contract, I'll bow to you. You can't force me to do anything I don't want to do, okay?"

Being called by her master's name directly made Logan frown.

If he hadn't been sure the familiar contract was still active in his mind, he might have thought Heserion had already broken free from the contract.

But Logan wasn't going to let her get away with it. His familiars couldn't act like a princess.

"My familiar must obey me without question. Heserion, accept the reality."

With that, Logan activated [Resonance] and transferred part of her soul power to Lilith.

As her power was taken away, the proud Heserion turned pale and looked terrified. "What... what did you do to me? Why am I so weak all of a sudden?"

Logan didn't explain. Instead, he just pushed Heserion down and sat on her.

Then he spread his hand wide and gave her a big slap on the butt.

Smack!

The clear sound shocked Heserion for a moment.

A feeling she had never experienced before made her look surprised. "You... you can actually touch my body?"

Before she could figure out why, Logan gave her another slap.

Smack!

Another sharp sound.

Heserion felt a strange tingling in her butt.

Suddenly, a strange emotion started to grow inside her.

Logan didn't pay attention to how she felt. He just kept slapping her butt, one after another.

After dozens of slaps, he finally stopped and looked down at Heserion, who was still lying on his leg. He said, "If you don't behave, I'll keep doing this."

Heserion was lying on his leg, and her pale blue face actually turned slightly red.

As a ghost, she had never experienced being touched before. So, whether it was pain or a tingling feeling, it was completely new to her.

Plus, Logan didn't hit her hard at all. To Heserion, it felt more like a massage—no pain, and even a little bit nice.

So she suddenly turned around, looked at Logan with big, innocent eyes, and said: "Then I'll be disobedient every day. Can you slap my butt every day, Master?"

Logan was stunned by her question.

She had just called him "Master," and now she was asking to be slapped.

Had he actually broken the ghost?

Logan, still confused, checked Heserion again.
