At this moment, the long-haired creature was slightly startled, but she did not retract her attack.
In her opinion, the man in front of her was just bluffing.
Could a person without any strength in his body be a lackey of the Mage Association?
However, in the next second, the long-haired creature froze on the spot.
The skinny student in front of her simply waved his hand lightly.
Then, a black shadow flashed past, and her long hair that was about to stab Flanders was cut off.
The long-haired creature took a step back in disbelief, muttering, “Impossible, this is impossible!
“I clearly sensed it, there isn’t any strength in your body at all.
“How did you cut off my hair!
“You, you’re a lackey of the Mage Association!”
How could the long-haired creature accept this reality?
She had lived in the human world for so long, and she had always kept a low profile.
Every time she secretly killed someone, she would hide and increase her strength bit by bit.
When she finally reached E-class, she felt that she could finally be a little bolder.
However, she did not expect to meet a tough opponent right away.
What puzzled her even more was that this man clearly did not have any strength in his body, but he could easily cut off the hair that was her pride and glory.
After all, her hair could easily pierce through steel.
It was extremely tough!
Yet, that man had only waved his hand lightly and destroyed all of her weapons.
She could not even see clearly how the man did it.
Just as her mind was in chaos, Flanders smiled and said slowly with a mocking expression, “A lackey of the Mage Association?
“Ha!
“Didn’t you hear me? When did I say I was a human?”
Then, the skin on Flanders’s face began to melt, and countless strands of straw grew from his skin.
It was similar to the long-haired creature.
However, the difference between them was that the long hair on the head of the long-haired creature was moving.
As for Flanders, the straw all over his body were moving.
Without saying much, Flanders controlled the straw on his body and surrounded the long-haired creature.
All of this happened too suddenly. The long-haired creature did not have time to react before her body was tightly bound by straw.
Out of instinct, the long-haired creature once again controlled her hair, attempting to stab Flanders.
However, this time, the result was the same.
With a slight wave of his hand, her hair became shorter again.
Feeling the straw binding her body tighter and tighter, the long-haired creature could not help but feel fear.
[Fear points: +3,000.]
“Impossible, this is impossible!
“What are you?”
“What am I?” Flanders leaned against the rooftop’s handrail lazily and looked at her with a smile. “We’re the same kind.”
The same kind?
She looked at the scarecrow in disbelief.
He was also a strange creature?
That was even more impossible!
The long-haired creature did not sense any strange aura from the scarecrow at all.
Not only that, even the scarecrow’s strength could not be detected at all.
How could he be strange!
However, the scarecrow in front of her was clearly strange.
If he was not strange, there was no other explanation.
“I understand, I understand!
“You’re a strange human!”
“Strange human?” Flanders repeated curiously after hearing such a new term.
Then, the long-haired creature snorted coldly, “At this point, what’s there to hide?
“You were subdued by a certain mage, right?”
After saying this, the long-haired creature looked around and said warily, “No matter who it is, you’ve already subdued me. Why don’t you hurry up and reveal yourself?
“I’m surrendering to you, too!”
At this moment, Flanders understood.
It seemed that this long-haired creature had misunderstood something.
However, Flanders was still very interested in the information she mentioned.
Hearing words like ‘surrender’, ‘subdue’, and ‘strange human’, Flanders had a rough guess.
Most likely, it meant that a mage could subdue strange creatures by subjugating them in a way and that enables them to use these creatures for their own purposes.
If that was the case, this would be interesting.
“First of all, I can tell you honestly that I’m not the person you’re talking about. I’m a strange creature.
“Now, I’ll ask you a question. You only have one chance to answer.”
After saying this, the long-haired creature shut her mouth and quieted down.
Obviously, she knew who had the upper hand now.
“Creature, can you subdue other creatures?”
The long-haired creature was slightly stunned. Then, she nodded and said, “Yes.”
Generally speaking, if there was a battle between creatures, the winner would devour the loser to improve its strength.
It was rare for a creature to subdue another.
This was good news for the long-haired creature.
“You want to subdue me?” She narrowed her eyes and stared at Flanders.
Earlier, the long-haired creature was mentally prepared.
To her, it was better to submit to a mage than to die.
However, things were completely different now.
It was the scarecrow in front of her who wanted to subdue her.
That was somewhat acceptable to the long-haired creature.
As long as she could live, what difference did it make who subjugated her?
However, she was still a little unwilling to be subjugated by a strange person who did not have any strength at all.
This was a great humiliation.
Flanders smiled slightly and released the straw that bounded the long-haired creature.
“What? You don’t want to?
“Or, do you think you can beat me?”
Hearing Flanders’s relaxed tone, the long-haired creature furrowed her brows. She seemed to have other thoughts.
“Although I don’t know how you beat me just now, I can’t feel any strength in your body.
“If we fight again, who’s to say you’d win?”
After saying that, the long-haired creature took a step back mysteriously, as if she didn’t intend to surrender so easily.
However, Flanders was not angry at all. He merely stretched out a slender straw finger and pointed at the long-haired creature.
Fear!
Then, the long-haired creature’s pale face instantly grew paler.
[Fear points: +5,000.]
After a short 30 seconds, Flanders was still leaning against the handrail.
As for the long-haired creature, she was panting heavily.
“I—I’m willing to serve you as my master, to submit to you, and to never betray you.
“If my master dies, I’ll die.”
Earlier, she had experienced an extremely realistic illusion.
No matter how hard she struggled, she could not get rid of it.
After experiencing a long period of fear and returning to reality, the strange long-haired creature finally understood.
It was not that the scarecrow in front of her did not possess any strength.
It was that her strength and the scarecrow’s were not on the same level at all.
How could an ant standing on an elephant feel the size of an elephant?
“I accept.”
Flanders smiled lightly.
