“Seems like your coht said as he turned to Lapis as tied up Tears appeared in her eyes and the crystal at her chest vibrated as several rays of white light revolved around it

Rafah was surprised

It was no easy task as co the Spirit Crystal required the owner’s absolute acceptance If the owner had even the slightest resistance against accepting the power, it would undoubtedly fail Even though Rafah ed to forcefully pull out the Spirit Crystal hidden within Lapis’ body, it realized that her resistance made it impossible to accomplish his task If it tried to bend her will forcefully, it oals once and for all

That was so Rafah would never want to see Thus, it used the ‘persuasion tactic’ in an attee Lapis’ vieever, no matter how hard it tried to convince her, the timid lady never backed down Even when Rafah threatened her, her will remained the same This left Rafah speechless From its perspective, it didn’t understand hooman with such a major lack of confidence could be so stubborn Wasn’t it supposed to be an easy task to convince her?

“I don’t understand why you would reject”

Rafah shook its head and gazed at Lapis, puzzled

“I went through your spirit and seen your past You’ve faced such situations before, haven’t you? We, Berhermes, is neither spirit nor human, but an abnormality Humans are afraid of us, hate us, and keep a distance from us You should kno it feels like, so why are you still hesitating? You can control your fate after beco, Lapis”

“…”

Lapis reorously once again

If Rhode was present, he would certainly tell Rafah that their

Truthfully, Lapis was indeed an individual who lacked self-confidence However, Rafah underestimated the level of her lack of self-confidence For example, when humans faced setbacks, some would stand up and oppose it while others would sink deeper into the abyss

Even though Lapis had encountered many setbacks, she had eventually lost the ability to make her own decisions and drowned in an inferiority co as she met a person that could be trusted, she would listen to him or her without question She would think that she didn’t possess sufficient capabilities toso, she would follow his or her instructions wholeheartedly

That hy Rhode assigned her to focus on alchemy and forbid her to conceive of her own theories Well, Lapis wasn’t unhappy with his decision Through experimentation in accordance with Rhode’s directions, she was able to understand how to exhibit the greatest potential in blending potions Thus, after that, she followed his words unconditionally

Co back to the current situation — it was exactly the same scenario Rafah hoped that Lapis would accept her oers, but Lapis dee, her heart was set against this notion, and even if she took a thousand steps back, her lack of self-confidence would prevent her fro

However, if it were Rhode, Anne or Randolf who persuaded her instead, Lapis would do it without hesitation

Rafah had no clue what to do with this stubborn woman Now, his only option was to break her mind and push her willpower to the brink of despair Once Lapis had noto any willpower to live Then, Lapis would beco this, she would undoubtedly turn into a perfect product — a perfect product that had lost its self-awareness which would make it sos that could beco as she lived, it would be enough

Although it ht sound simple, to break the woman’s willpoasn’t easy at all As the spirit and flesh were tightly linked, Rafah wasn’t able to use any violent methods that would injure her flesh What if Lapis couldn’t take the pain and passed away froo crazy…

So, what else couldas she personally witnesses the death of her co that she had loved and fall into despair Sis don’t always proceed as planned

Rafah stared at the i in the air Its face twitched as it didn’t expect the Golem Guards to be so weak He was mad as they were all srier was that because of this, Lapis’ will to live actually soared!

It was supposed to break her will, not reinforce it!

But even so, it didn’t give up altering Lapis’ mentality

“Do you really think that they would come and save you?”
