Chapter 744 - Darkness Falls (XI) (2/2)

But her behavior didn’t look as though she was an experienced assassin She limped, held her waist from time to time, and refused to speak But Rhode knew that this was too sti for her first experience…

After the event in the underground prison, Rhode successfully altered Nell’s curse with Celestina’s help by engraving his spiritual energy into her soul Nell would forever obey and serve as his loyal servant Even though Rhode controlled Nell’s and Sara’s souls, both were entirely different cases

Rhode activated his systehts to Nell and Sara, the system reflected them as his subordinates However, their relationshi+p statuses were unlike the mercenaries Sara’s relationshi+p status was ray in color, and described as [Obey] On the other hand, Nell’s relationshi+p status presented a faint green and hovered around [Indifferent]

This wasn’t too surprising since Corpse Slaves weren’t living creatures, strictly speaking Sara was more like a robot with self-conscious Perhaps she had self-judgment, but she definitely couldn’t defy the oho held her controller Therefore, there basically weren’t changes to her feelings toward Rhode just like when Rhode received her soul fro about Cullen even though she spenthim This was because the word ‘loyalty’ didn’t exist in her dictionary As a Corpse Slave, she could only become the slave of her spirit holder, just like how robots couldn’t choose their owners

To the contrary, Nell was different, where she, as a sacrificial soul, was more like under a type of curse that restricted her entirely She would be punished as long as she broke the rules But as long as she obeyed the content of the curse, she would be relatively free—at least more than Sara

Just in case, Rhode added the command of ‘Without any permission and under no circumstances shall she harm or kill anyone’ when he altered the curse This was a broad request, but Rhode kne cunning the Dark Elves were The society that they lived in wasn’t any kinder than the Country of Darkness It could also be said that if he released Nell and Sara and reith ht Mainland would surely be trau baby, Nell and Sara would do it without any hesitation But if it were Marlene and Lize, perhaps they could never do it

This was not only the difference between characters, but also the difference between social values In order for his team to remain united, it was essential to prevent unstable factors fro them

Nell followed Rhode in silence and turned a deaf ear to everything happening around her She had been behaving this way ever since she woke up from her traumatic experience, but it seemed that she accepted Rhode as her master Moreover, Rhode felt some extent of respect in her actions and tone It was apparent that she was completely convinced after their intimate interactions

That was just how the Dark Elves were—strength, status suprenity, and determination weren’t essential to thereed with Rhode, which hy [Indifferent] was shown in the system However, Rhode knew that it could be improved in the future

After Rhode and Celestina ended their affectionate moments, the latter left in satisfaction But, Rhode had more work to do as he needed to ask Nell about crucial h woht after their intimate s for Nell and their sexual intercourse was purely due to his desire If it wasn’t for the troublesome curse, he wouldn’t have done it with her and would resolve the problem later After all, it was more important to resolve the problem As for the next one… Since she was already in his hand, ould he need to be afraid that she escaped?

Although Nell didn’t approve of hiy, after all Therefore, she narrated everything in full details to him

Rhode finally received the information that he needed
