289 Mind Reading? (1/1)
”Woah! What happened…?!” just as the sprout human who seemed to be afraid of me took a few steps back, trying to guard against me, he panicked as he saw his hands which he raised by instinct out of fear...
”How am I back like this…? Am I still in one of these dreams…?”
'hmmm…'
listening to the strange sprout human, I could finally confirm that he was truly a human who had under-went full Demonification, after all, that was basically the only possible explanation as to why he was the only one he turned into this human form…
The question that needed answers at the moment wasn't whether that was completely true or not, it was how did he return back into his prior form as a human if my guess was correct…
'Could it also be something related to the Shaman's Witchcraft…?'
The empty battlefield that I woke up to, the half-dead Overseer, the human morphed demon, all of them seemed to be connected to some point, the Shaman's strange curse art...
It felt like all signs of demons were supposed to be erased alongside the execution of the curse art, but if all the signs should have perished, then why was the Overseer still alive…?
Groplications that came with it…
The test subject becoming crazy or even dying, receiving nothing but blurry memory, and the possibility of me getting turned into an idiot as a side effect were the reasons that stopped me back then.
That last time was me just experimenting, However, this time I was in urgent need of whatever information this sprout maybe hiding, so…
'If he doesn't speak soon, I will give it a try…'
Since the worst case scenario was me losing the info any way, with the potential of getting turned into an idiot being almost null due to how my mental energy operated differently, not to mention that my target was currently a normal human with almost no powers, I planned to give it a try if he decided to continue acting like an idiot anyway…
”This… he also lost his…”
However, I was soon relieved to find out that his last mutterings weren't stupid nonsense but he was actually thinking about something serious this time, as his expression turned serious after moving to the Overseer and checking him out before looking around at the empty ground where the demon guards' bodies were supposed to be littered as a result of my first double tap raid session…
”Did he do it?! Did dark use the 'Demonic Sovereign Sacrifice'?!” turning to me with this question was his last act as he continued staring at me…
”If by that you do mean that strange purple fire of his, then yes, he did… Do you care to explain more about it for me though…?”
”How?!” the sprout human looked at me with the most serious questioning gaze I have seen to this point...
