1609 Gold Dust Eyes (1/2)

For a moment, it felt like the air had frozen. The expression on Mo Fan's face stiffened as he felt the air that Apas was calmly breathing out.

If it was really possible to determine if a person could Awaken some Innate Talents beforehand, Mo Fan would have long been chosen to become a Mage. Why would he bother putting in so much effort just to secure the chance of being enrolled in a magic school?

It was impossible to detect a person's Innate Talent. The magic imprint that Mo Fan was using was not to stabilize Apas' Innate Talent.

The lunar-white glow represented the magic of the Summoning Element. Mo Fan was casting an Intermediate Spell. The imprint was the Contract Seal meant to be applied to the soul of a creature of a different species. If the imprint was placed successfully, it would make the creature the Summoner's Contracted Beast.

Mo Fan was now able to have a second Contracted Beast. He had lied to Apas, since the imprint was meant for his second Contracted Beast!

Why did he do it? Because he was still suspicious of her!

”If you didn't believe me from the beginning, why did you do so much for me, big brother?” Apas stared at Mo Fan with oddly glittering eyes and a curious face.

Mo Fan slowly withdrew his hand. The imprint was still on Apas' forehead, but Mo Fan knew it was not going to work. He had already learned what he wanted to.

However, he was still dumbfounded by the outcome. He looked at Apas' beautiful face and felt like it was all just a nightmare. He had an urge to just wake up and realize none of this was happening.

Unfortunately, it was happening in real life. The moment the Contract Seal entered Apas' body and touched her soul, the Summoning Magic immediately told him that the innocent girl was not as ordinary as she seemed!

”To be honest, just a second ago, I still believed there was nothing wrong with you, but I didn't think...” Mo Fan said.

Even though Mo Fan was suspicious of Apas, he was only doubting her a little. He was ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent sure that Apas was just an ordinary girl. He only did it to clear away the last wisp of doubts that had suddenly crossed his mind.

However, he was utterly shocked by the outcome; it was possible to sign a contract with Apas' soul!

The Contract Summoning could not be used on humans, yet it was possible to use it on Apas' soul. It clearly indicated that Apas was...

Even Mo Fan could not believe his sudden thought had led him to such a horrifying discovery!

Able to sign a contract and willing to sign a contract were two different things, hence why Apas was asking Mo Fan why he was trying to enslave her soul. In Apas' eyes, signing the contract with Mo Fan would turn her into Mo Fan's slave and pet!

Mo Fan slowly backed away while Apas moved with him. She did not look angry, nor did her face suddenly became twisted and ugly like Mo Fan had imagined. She was still the beautiful little angel, yet she was now a terrifying little demoness in Mo Fan's eyes!

”It's just who I am. I have a strong urge to find out the truth, no matter how bloody and cruel it is. It's better than losing myself in my own dreams.” Mo Fan continued to back up.

”I'm really curious. Why did you think I'm not normal?” Apas asked.

”There were drawings of the legendary Medusa in the Pyramid. I noticed something strange about them. When Medusa was still a human, she was eaten alive by the Snake Primordial Ancestor before she was reborn with snake hair...” Mo Fan replied while the Dark Substance was silently dissolving into the ground under his feet.

Apas did not seem to notice the Dark Substance. She nodded and smiled, ”So you suspected that the Young Medusa wasn't trying to digest me by swallowing me alive, it was me evolving instead?”

”Not really, it just seemed a little odd to me. I never thought about it when I saw the painting...” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan was despairing. He had never thought there was anything wrong with Apas. He was just trying to use the spell on Apas to clear his mind of the weird thought he had. To his surprise, not only did he fail to satisfy his suspicions, he even dug out such a ridiculous truth!

He was already regretting it!

Wasn't it better if they could have just enjoyed their time together? Why did he have to do it out of curiosity?

”Was that the only reason?” Apas asked.
