“What have you done to us?” Cedric asked, though his tone was more curious than anything.
“Try to make a guess. I’m curious what you think.”
“Hmm…” He began musing while looking down at his feet. “I was debating between some poison and an artifact, though I have never heard about such potent ones.”
Selene couldn’t believe her ears. Did her retard think they were in a conference? In a classroom? What the fuck is wrong with him?
“Stop with the games and tell us what you want!” She screamed hysterically, before continuing with a bit more calm im her tone, “we are the children of high-ranked Consortium members, making us basically the criminal equivalent of a baron’s kid. Killing us will do you no good. We offer you 20 gold each in exchange for our freedom.”
The man looked at her as if she were a clown for the second time today, making her fury roar in her heart, but she knew it was best not to shout profanities at him so she kept it in.
“Hahaha! A baron’s son they say. Ooohhhh I’m shaking in my boots! Whatever shall I do? Please, speare me o mighty ones!” Once he got over his ridiculing spree his features hardened as he pulled a blade out of his ring. “Do you recognize this sword?”
Cedric had no clue what it was beyond it looking very expensive with its golden color and gems decorating it all over. His warrior’s mind couldn’t help but scoff, such a sword was just a waste of money, it was better off on one’s wall than in his hands.
Selene, on the other hand, was very well-informed. Her eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets once she came to the harrowing realization. “The ceremonial sword Luke Winterwood received from his father for his 18th birthday… Where did you get it?!”
The plump woman could swear that his eyes turned a bit crazy, as if they were swirling madly. “Where do you think? I looted it off of his desecrated corpse after I beheaded him, of course! Hahaha!”
This… she didn’t know how to react. Luke was the Winterwood count’s beloved son, with many rumors swirling around that he was the favorite despite Eric being the eldest. His death occurred an estimated month ago, and no one ever found his remains, only his splattered blood on the 8th floor of the Aldoria labyrinth.
Numerous expeditions were sent into the dungeon with an entire army constantly guarding the exit since they knew the perpetrators couldn’t have gone out already. However, no one ever came out that they could charge for the murder. It was believed that a big monster ate them in the labyrinth, but…
“Master, your crazed eyes are swirling. You look like a real villain, reminding me of the unhinged gaze you sported back when I told you about the elven shrine maidens with their millennia old hymen still intact…” The elf woman next to him giggled amusedly.
“Oops. My apologies. Thank you, my beloved traitorous long-eared healer. I don’t want to make a bad impression on my new friends.” The man chuckled as he got hold of his emotions and returned to looking like a handsome gentleman.
Selene couldn’t help but think that there was something very off about this man. No one goes from that terrifying look to such an amicable one at a moment’s notice without their minds being… strange.
“Don’t call me traitorous! I’m the most kind-hearted elf to have ever lived, hence the Goddess giving me the Healer class.”
The elf protested but Devil, evidently called Quinlan, only gave her a wry look before refocusing his attention on the captives.
“I have the skull of Luke somewhere in my possession, but it is only bones by now, the meat was very smelly so I had someone take care of it.”
Selene couldn’t believe her ears. Of course this lunatic was not afraid of hurting the children of Eclipse Enforcer – the one above Vesper Phenom/Dusk Adept – ranked individuals. After all, he’s already killed a real noble’s son, and a count’s at that, not a baron’s. Stay tuned to empire
“So, Plump Fox, no. I’m afraid I’ll have to deny your request to buy your freedom.”
Selene’s heart contorted miserably. Things just kept getting worse.
“As for you, Cedric, your guesses were pretty good, but no. To be brief, I’m not a human but something like a newborn immortal demigod who specializes in enslaving people, making my powers much greater than a simple Slave Master classed individual’s. I’ve put my magical chains on you two, marking you as my possession for eternity to do with as I please.”
As if to give visual proof to his outlandish claims, he summoned forth a systemic window. Doing so already shocked Selene, as no one should be able to materialize their mind’s projections.
However, as he started reading the lines, her already dejected heart began beating like a horse’s who just won a race. She started hyperventilating as her chest heaved up and down with so much strength that the chains restricting her to the chair made strained sounds.
“Damn.” Cedric whispered with disbelief and grief. He understood with great sadness that life as he knew it was over.
Selene’s reaction was much stronger. What the hell was this creature?! He looked human but a… primordial? She’d never heard of this elusive race before. However, that didn’t matter considering the severity of her situation.
Primordial Subjugator?! A Unique tier class, putting it above the illustrious Legendary tier?! Not even Queen Morgana, the wife of King Alexios and the woman hailed as the strongest mage in the Vraven Kingdom had a Legendary class for she was the owner of the Epic rarity Elemental Sovereign class! The class that nearly all Wizards dream of one day unlocking!
And he had a class that was two tiers above Morgana’s?!
The more she read the class and its giga-busted [Subjugation] innate spell, the paler her face became. What kind of monster was she beefing with all this time?! She should’ve just let it all go… Relocate to a new dutchy, rise in the ranks of another syndicate, or even become a loser baker’s wife or something!
Anything was better than being this spiteful lunatic’s minion.
It took her a good few seconds to regain control over her mind as she parted her tantalizing red lips and asked with a quivering tone, “what do you plan to do with me? Please, just use my body to satisfy yourself! I’ll become your obedient sex slave!”
