Chapter 165: Plans and Visiting a Shop (1/2)

-----

Just a few seconds after that, Benladann's eyes flashed with crimson-red colors, as her left eye turned red. This was the effect of using this spell. It seems that she somehow takes into the characteristics of… Miranda.

I don't know how it works, or what happened, but it seems that the two are cooperating into using this spell. Miranda is controlling the parasitized and showing Benladann what she sees.

It's amazing. I am very proud that they've finally managed to get friendlier with each other, to the point of cooperating with a parasitizing spell of this caliber.

”It's ready… I think four is my limit for now… Phew, I spent a lot of mana,” said Benladann. I checked her status and without me realizing she spent around 80% of her mana right away. This spell seems to be costly.

”Amazing. And well done. Now that we are done here, can you wake them up? I've checked the area, and no one watched us…” I said.

”Alright… Wake up!”

Benladann ordered the four men to wake up from their sleep with a domineering presence, one that she usually never shows, it made me a bit surprised.

The four men suddenly woke up confused, although the moment they glanced at Benladann, they felt some kind of jolt into their heads.

”Ungh…! Ahhh…”

”Gaahh…”

”Gueeggh…”

”Ooohh…”

They looked like zombies…

Well, only their way of acting, they were not rotting away, nor they had mold around their bodies, thankfully.

”Benladann, can you see what they see?” I asked.

”More or less… through this eye,” said Benladann, pointing her crimson-red eye.

It is interesting how she can see this stuff like this, even if I were to get some kind of Parasite Skill I don't think I would be able to do the same awesome stuff she can do with this… Truly just outstanding.

”Now you four, act like you always do and go back to your boss hideout, tell him that Gaston left before you could catch him,” said Benladann.

”Yes…”

The four suddenly changed their expressions, as if they came back to ”normal” yet they didn't…

And apparently, this brainwashing is permanent, as long as the host continues to eat food, the mold inside their brain can live off their shared nutrients and mana.
