Chapter 152 - Wasted Opportunity
Chapter 152 - Wasted Opportunity
In a thick forest filled with trees to the brim, resonated many sounds. While some might be of wild animals running around, communicating, or even fighting, others were of the winds whistling as they passed through the forest, while the water from the river crashed into stones and rocks to make the sound of running water.
However, within all these sounds was also another ambient noise. It has a slight hum to it while the sound of an unoiled door kept coming from it.
Yes, this was the carriage we were using.
While one would think that someone who can afford the services of the Discarded Devil's commission fee would be rich, you would be utterly mistaken, or at least, in this case, you would be utterly mistaken.
I had also thought that the people I would be escorting would be rich, but apparently, they can't afford anything more than a carriage pulled by Wild 3 tusked boars. Saying the speed was slow would be an insult to slow things. Like, how heavy can one be?!
This whole time I have been using gravity magic to make myself near-weightless, yet the boars still seemed to struggle. I would rather walk because my walking speed was literally a lot faster than the shit I was looking at, and at this point, I was tempted to just jump down and pull the carriage myself.
Of course, I had to keep my professionalism, therefore I did not complain nor show any dissatisfaction.
[So that girl huh... She should be your age right? What's her name again?]
'God knows. Begins with a H or something' I snorted, however, the next moment I sat up from my previously relaxed sleeping posture and head my katana in my right hand, ready to take it out of its scabbard to slash at anything that was about to come at me.
It seemed like the people inside the carriage, not the driver had realized anything yet, meaning it was the prime time to take care of such a thing.
"Show yourself" I whispered, however, to everything that was not anyone in the carriage, my voice sounded booming and primordial.
The person might have been using a stealth technique that would have stopped him from seeing or feeling his soul flame or mana, but it could not protect itself from the sonic boom that was my voice.
While such a technique might be quite a high end, meaning that the person after them was a high profile and had hired the best possible people, their stealthy would not hide them from my voice.
As my voice traveled through the forest, I closed my eyes and tried my best to dull out my outside senses, allowing myself to feel every single vibration would that be from a surface or in the air. A few seconds later, my eyes flung open before I took a glance at a certain spot 500 meters away from where there was a woman hiding behind a tree.
Feeling my age scrutinizing her body, looking through and into every shred of her building, I could visibly see her soul flame shuddering as if a predator had set eyes on it. Subsequently, due to her soul shuddering, she herself started to shudder uncontrollably too, making her subordinated around her take worried glances at her while making sure that the carriage does not disappea-
*Swish*
*Puchi*
Suddenly, out of nowhere came an emerald-silverish blur that went right through the head of one of the masked figures, causing them to fall onto the ground wide-eyed, not even knowing what had killed him.
*Thud*
"Life is so fragile, isn't it?" I asked through the use of wind magic to carry my voice. over 500 meters. While one might think that this action would be impossible due to me still being in the ethereal stage with mild control over my mana and a small mana pool, with the use of my secret technique, the efficiency of my spells had reached a whole new level, a whole new level for me at least.
*Bang Bang Bang Bang* The trembling woman watched as all her subordinates fall to the ground with thuds one by one. All she could do was watch helplessly from the top of a tree, eventually balling up into a fetus position before rocking back and forth while sobbing.
'So weak willed' I snorted at the pathetic display of their 'leader'
*"This is your prime opportunity"*
*"Make her you slave"*
*"With that body, she will become a nice toy, don't you think?*"
Back at the carriage, I kept rocking back and forth, thinking about how much of a waste it was not to use such an amazing body. While yes, I might be a virgin, it did not mean I can't use others to please myself, does it?
Of course, none of them would be men, however, until now, I had not tried to the pleasure of another having another person do the deed for you. Maybe if I made her my slave, I could use her every now and then.
'When we get back, I'm going to have to have sex with Yu- Yu... I forgot her name. FUCK! Whatever her name is. I need a way to release these hormones or I might go sex crazy.'
Before I could finish the thought, I felt the carriage stop before the doors opened and 2 of the three people came out.
Furrowing my brows, I jumped down and looked at the girl who was no longer hooded without a change in my expression, not that they could see if my expression had changed from the moment I had started staring at her.
'Analysis. I don't care about her stats. How old is she?'
[17]
'hmm. Oh well. she is legal in the UK.'
[I advise against doing what you are about to do.]
'Why?' I sneered while feeling my body getting hotter.
[The girl you left alive is a lot hotter, and a lot more submissive. She'll become your dog after one session]
'You make a good point' I nodded slightly after comprehending the words of analysis. That woman was a lot more mature, and if she would become a dog after a single session, why not?
"These two want to explore the first a little. Take them out and come back within 30 seconds" The man commanded, to which I simply nodded. There was no point getting angry at his commanding nature since he was basically paying me to serve him for a short amount of time. I might as well do my job well.
I watched as the two kids ran into the forest, and fortunately for me, they ran towards the corpses and the almost broken woman. I did not waste another second before running right after them, making sure they would never get out of my sight even though it was basically impossible as long as they were within eyeshot or 80 meters around them when not in eyeshot.
Of course, even if I lose them I could always use divine eyes to trail them without much thought by using their mana signatures alone
'Uhm, analysis?'
[Yes?]
'I know I have the divine contract thing, but is there any way for me to gain subordinates after I defeat them or something? I saw it happen in this cool manga I read so I just wanted to know.'
[Yes]
'Really?!' I suspiciously raised my brow, but at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a tinge of excitement in my heart.
[Once you gain your own realm, everything from then on should be easy. You can keep their soul inside the realm while giving them their original bodies as vessels or avatars from them to control. Yet, this might mean that they would be weaker, and will also get weaker every time their avatar/vessel is destroyed, but you get an undying army.]
'Analysis. Did I ever tell you that I love you?' My smile was so warm it could have probably caused global warming.
[I am flattered, however, I do not fall for idiots so, uhm, sorry?]
'...'
[Oh? Did you not understand me? Maybe I should put into simpler words that your limited vocabulary will understand]
'I hate you
[OH NO! My host seems to have Bipolar disorder. What would I ever do?]
