A Villain's Way of Taming Heroines

Chapter 170: Puppet Repairer Ansel - II

Mechanical armor...

She sighed inwardly.

So it was just mechanical armor. Hydral hadn't gone completely mad after all.

Even amidst her intense pain, Ravenna felt a profound sense of relief at this moment.

As long as the design of the universal ether furnace wasn't so easily handed over to the Etheric Academy, Ravenna could accept it.

So just now...

The woman's head hung to one side due to her neck nearly being completely twisted by Seraphina. With her eyes already open, she stared intently at the blurred profile not far away.

Just now, was it a deliberate act to force me to lose control?

Ravenna, who had calmed down, quickly realized that she had fallen into Hydral's trap after a long time.

It could be said to be her only weakness, long unseen, once again controlled by Hydral. It was not surprising.

There was no shame, no anger, no impatience. In such a dire situation, Ravenna quickly came to terms with reality.

From the moment you returned to the imperial capital to the performance just now, everything was just a prelude to my breakdown... You've been planning this for a long time, Hydral.

You don't need me — you keep emphasizing this, what effect do you think it will have? Do you really think that I am dependent on you, that without you I am nothing, that after being "abandoned" by you, I will become a frightened dog?

Hydral, your arrogance... is as always.

After dissecting the real purpose of today's visit, which was covered up by Ansel layer by layer, Ravenna felt neither complacency nor joy.

Because the fact has been done, although she will never succumb to him, her current situation is definitely under Hydral's deliberate plan.

The soul...

Ravenna felt this body, which was at best above average among all her puppets, and her spirit was heavy.

For extraordinary beings, the soul... is the real life.

The soul is the origin of ascending extraordinary, the core of the inner to outer leap, and the foundation for extraordinary beings to transform into a higher level of life.

The original body of an extraordinary being is naturally the most perfect container for the soul. But if the soul is forcibly stuffed into something other than the original body...

Powerful extraordinary beings have the ability to change matter in reverse with their strong souls, making matter adapt to the soul. But as a third-stage Ravenna, she is still far from that realm.

If the soul stays in a non-original body for a long time, not only will her strength be greatly reduced, but over time, the soul will be damaged, which will have an irreversible negative impact on the future path of becoming extraordinary.

But what Ravenna cares about is not this, what she cares about is... when her soul is completely stuffed into this puppet, her life safety has already lost its guarantee.

She was 99% sure that sorcerer Soren, who is good at playing with souls, must have made some kind of restriction, not allowing her soul to easily return to the body.

"So, the future visualizing of mechanical armor is left to you, Lord Soren."

Ravenna heard that now very annoying chuckle: "I believe you will make it play its due role, then, see you next time, Lord Soren."

"Hahaha, when we meet next time, you may already be much stronger than me, Ansel, but then you don't have to call me Lord, I can't afford it."

The dirty deal of unknown exchange ended like this. Ravenna heard the footsteps getting closer, and then, her immovable body was lifted onto someone's shoulder.

"Do you need me to give you a ride, Ansel?"

Soren raised his eyebrows and looked at Seraphina who was carrying Ravenna on her shoulder: "It's a bit of a hindrance to carry such a burden, isn't it?"

Ansel shook his head gently: "No need, Lord Soren, I just happen to be able to use the time to go back..."

His gaze fell on the puppet whose neck was bent at a ninety-degree angle, and he said with a light laugh:

"To repair, this broken puppet."

This soul manipulator, who not only has a superior position in the Etheric Academy but also has a high reputation in the entire sorcerer field, stroked his chin and watched Ansel leave.

"Is this his second choice of pact head? It doesn't seem very suitable. Young people with great ideals can't tolerate others riding on their heads."

The man said so, then shook his head and laughed:

"But, it's already at that point, this little girl can't escape even if she wants to."

*

In the spacious carriage, Seraphina disdainfully tossed Ravenna's body onto the floor.

"The entire walk here, I had to endure that grating sound from her neck. It was quite uncomfortable, Ansel."

Ansel couldn't help but chuckle, "Isn't it you who broke Ravenna's neck?"

"She dared to attempt to assassinate you... even though she had no chance of success."

Seraphina curled her lip, "It irked me. It's not like it's her real body, so what if I broke it? Ansel, why did you bring her back?"

"If I hadn't, our genius lady would have died on the streets."

Ansel placed Ravenna's body on the opposite seat, leisurely saying, "Even though I don't need her anymore, she is a rare talent. Her death would be a great loss to the empire's future."

Seraphina knew that Ansel had already started to tame Ravenna, but she had no idea what Ansel wanted to do. To avoid disturbing Ansel, she could only try her best to suppress the urge to say something and stay quiet.

Even so, the young girl who possessed the power of two pact heads still couldn't help but glare at Ravenna's puppet body.

This guy, does she really have any abilities?

As far as I can see, apart from making puppets, she doesn't have any other abilities? Or is it those floating iron lumps around her?

Must be joking, those things wouldn't even be hot enough for my bath.

Well… the most she could do is make bigger puppets, or more iron lumps…?

Seraphina thought disdainfully: I can easily kill such a large snake, no matter how big your puppet is, can it be bigger than that thing?

Hmm, what's the use of such a large puppet, to get beaten up?

Comparing them, a sense of pride welled up in Miss Seraphina's heart —

I am indeed, Ansel's strongest pact head!
