Chapter 170: Apprentice (1/2)

”S-So strong…” Aspe uttered.

She was astonished to see the young man, apparently as young as her; he was beating all the scary people with ease.

”I couldn't even land a hit to one of them. But that person singled out even their leader. And he beat him using his raw strength!” She exclaimed with a mixt of admiration.

”Hey, girl! What did you do? Take this shit or you will regret it!”

Aspe was startled when one of the two people who were currently entangled by the spider web yelled at her.

She subconsciously jolted back. In any case, it wasn't her doing. Those black spiders on the ceiling were the ones responsible for it.

”Don't get afraid. They can't do anything now.” Aspe heard Miss Ella said in assurance.

”Y-You know him, Miss Ella?” Aspe asked.

”Aaa-- ahem! Just a friend of mine,” Rea replied out of a sudden but it only made Aspe doubtful of her as she sounded defensive. ”Wait, wasn't that person saying 'My Girl' a while ago? Could it be…” Aspe remembered the young man's words recently.

”Uh, eh… I think you misheard him, Aspe! Regardless, there's nothing between us!” Rea strongly denied it. But the more she denied it, the others would find it more suspicious.

”You guys! You heard it too, right?!” Aspe asked the two people who were entangled by the spider web.

”We heard it very clear!”

”Yeah! That person said, My Girl!”

Rea's eyes turned blank.

”Right! And we will report it to our young master!”

”Thomas help us!”

'Why do many people want to claim me as their property?' Rea whined inwardly.

Regardless, Aspe wanted to laugh at their call to their leader. ”Uhm, sorry to disappoint you. But is that person who is lying on the floor like a corpse is your leader named Thomas?” She pointed out.

They glanced back and saw all their comrades together with Thomas, all of them were lying on the floor like drunkards.

”What the heck happened!?”

They both exclaimed. They also noticed the young man bend his knee in front of Thomas. No, the young man was staring at Thomas's Deity. Seeing his wide grin on his face. They could guess that he had a bad intention towards it.

'Poor Thomas…' they thought. ”Get up there, Mr. Thomas! That guy is eyeing your toy!” They screamed.

Yman and Sistela disregarded their shouts.

Sistela asked.

Upon hearing her, the little Imp System Deity pressed himself to his unconscious owner.

Yman grinned at it. ”Do you need to question, Teacher?” He replied with a little tease.

Sistela thought she overdid on teaching him. Now he was addicted to it!

Based on one of their lessons with Miss Pai, the System Deity's body is just a shell. So if one lost his System Deity, he just needed to buy another one.

They already shared information through resonance. One only needed some verification to reuse his System Deity's previous information.

To be verified again, one needed fingerprints and face verification; he/she also needed to feed it with his/her mana and blood. All of these were needed together with signing to his previous account. Just then, the new shell of the Deity would start to verify the owner. If an existing account had matched the one being verified, then the DatS of the Deity would rebirth to the new shell. Though all his previous upgrades would be gone as the previous body was lost or stolen. Only the level remained the same as the level wasn't from its shell. It was from the System Deity's DatS or Soul Data.

The most important thing about the pact was that the System Deity and the owner had the final say. It's up to them if they wanted to partner again with their previous owner or Deity. If one disagreed to reunite, then the other one could not do a thing about it. It was the right time for them to find a new partner and started a new connection.

If the connection or Like Value between them wasn't so high, it was easy to breach the pact or the contract between the user and the System Deity. So one must be mindful of their Like Value.

After Yman took the Imp System Deity, the green lights that were trailing on its body died down.

Seemingly, it intentionally blocked his DatS.

”Looks like this man was loved by his Deity,” he muttered in regret. Although he looked like a thug, he must be following what his Deity likes.

Sistela stated. They could sell some parts of it. Seeing that it was modeled into an Imp Series, the parts of it must cost a lot.

But what excites him the most is the items inside his White Box. The White Box was the part where the main storage of it was located.

After Yman took the shell of Thomas Deity, he also took all the spatial rings and equipment of the Demihumans he defeated.

Aspe gawked at him while Rea looked away from him. She already expected that it would happen. She just needed to turn a blind eye to it.

The two Demihumans who couldn't free themselves from the spider web had quickened their heartbeats.

As expected. They felt a strong force at the back of their neck which caused them to blackout.

”Are you okay, My--”

Rea shot a glare at him.

”...Rea?” Yman said while scratching his face. He almost slipped again.

However,

”My-My-My… Rea?” Aspe was the first one who reacted. Not just he called her 'My', but he also called her in a name that only a person with a close relationship would do!
