Oh, ah! My arm! My leg!
Bryant shuddered and was shocked awake from his nightmare. After regaining consciousness, he felt that he was under the covers of a bed. It felt warm and soft. His broken limbs weren’t in pain either. They didn’t seem to be hurt; he could even move them.
He found this strange. What’s going on? Were they all nightmares? And now I’m awake, so none of that had happened?
Opening his eyes, Bryant looked around. He was lying in an open and bright room. The furniture inside looked familiar. At closer inspection, he seemed to be in the courtyard from before.
Sitting up, he looked at his hands. He realized that there were many subtle runes on his skin. Immediately, he recognized that his hands and feet weren’t actually his. This was a flesh magic puppet spell.
Oh, seems that everything that had happened was real. Bryant sighed.
“You’re awake?” a voice asked.
Bryant looked over. There was a table by the illuminated window. Link, clad in casual clothing, sat there. He closed his book and looked over.
Ferde now was bright and sunny. Golden sunlight shone in from the window like a gold beam inside the room that was dim in comparison. Link was half bathed in sunlight and half covered in shadows. Because of the light, Bryant couldn’t see his expression clearly. He just felt like the other was very calm.
“How long did I sleep?” Bryant clutched his head. It felt heavy like there was cotton stuffed inside. His thoughts couldn’t flow smoothly.
“Not long, 75 hours.” Link’s voice was light and emotionless.
Bryant suddenly discovered something. All his power had disappeared, not a shred left behind. His body was empty; he was no different from a regular person.
“You sealed my power?” he asked. He wasn’t surprised.
“No, I didn’t,” Link said. But just as Bryant sighed in relief, Link continued, “I just separated it completely from your body… What I truly sealed was your soul.”
Bryant was shocked. He subconsciously clutched his head, trying to think of a spell to cast. But when he tried it, he discovered something even more shocking. “Where are my spells? Why can’t I remember them? What did you do?!”
Only spells under Level-2 were in his memory, and they weren’t much either. Thinking carefully, he only knew five or six harmless spells. Everything else was gone. Like a book soaked in water. His memory was like the words in the book. There were some imprints, but he couldn’t think of anything if he tried.
“No, you can’t do this to me! Magic is my everything. You must return it to me!” Bryant used all his might to sit up in bed, but he discovered that some power had restrained his limbs. All struggle was in vain.
Link didn’t speak or even look at Bryant. He just sat in the chair and read his book, completely focused.
After struggling, Bryant finally realized that right now, he was just an insect to Link. All his struggling, growls, and roars were useless. Link could isolate him from the outside world with a small spell. The world wouldn’t even be able to notice his situation.
Understanding this, Bryant gave up. He leaned against the bed, panting heavily. When he caught his breath, he said, “Alright, what do you plan on doing to me?”
Link closed his book again. “While you were sleeping, we read all your memories, including your cooperation with the Army of Destruction, the Isle of Dawn’s plan, as well as the exact actors, their personalities and characteristics, and even the names of some young talents. Basically, we know everything that you know. Right now, you’re useless to Ferde.”
Bryant’s heart went cold. “So you’ll kill me?”
“No, you’re wrong.” Link shook his head. He waved at the door, and two beautiful magic puppets walked in. One was slender and delicate; the other was curvy and full. Both were attractive.
“Your explosion destroyed hundreds of homes. As the lord, I should give you the death penalty. However, we also received a great amount of information from you. As an exchange, you kept your life. Now, you can only live in this courtyard, unable to step outside forever. You can’t interact with anyone. If you have any needs, these two magic puppets will do their best to satisfy you… Don’t try escaping with the magic puppets either. They’re different from typical war puppets. They’re only slightly stronger than a regular human…”
“You’re holding me captive!” Bryant was furious. No matter what, he was at the Legendary level. Now, he was being imprisoned by a junior for life. He had to be angry.
Link ignored his reaction and continued, “There is no room for you to fight back. As a disabled man, no one will risk things to save you. Enjoy the rest of your life, Bryant.”
