Chapter 32 (1/2)

The moment Flanders said ‘I accept’, the long-haired creature turned into a strange ball of light and flew into Flanders’s forehead.

Flanders closed his eyes gently. As expected, he could feel that a piece of land had appeared in his sea of consciousness.

It was a small island—the small island was the long-haired creature.

At this moment, she had completely submitted to Flanders.

Keeping to her oath.

She would never betray Flanders, and if Flanders died, she would also die.

However, if she were to die, Flanders would be fine.

This was the purpose of submitting to another.

In order to save her life, this was the only thing she could do.

“From today, your name’s Black,” Flanders said to the island in his mind.

The island quickly replied, “Thank you for the name, my Lord.”

Flanders nodded in satisfaction.

He initially planned to subdue Black so he could release his Fear on her.

After that short exchange, Flanders had discovered that he could get more fear points from a mage than from a normal human.

More importantly, he could get even more fear points from a fellow strange creature than from a mage!

In just one exchange, this strange creature had provided him a whopping 8,000 fear points.

How could Flanders not be happy about this?

However, after Black submitted to Flanders, he discovered that his strength had actually increased a little.

Indeed, this was the other benefit of submitting.

Submissions could bring a little increase in strength to its master.

As for how much it could increase, it would depend on the surrenderer’s strength.

Black’s strength was E-class.

Flanders’s strength was -D-class.

Under this situation, Black’s submission had raised Flanders from a -D to D!

In an instant, Flanders understood.

He no longer planned to subdue strange creatures in order to use his Fear on them.

Instead, he wanted to subdue them to raise his strength.

If he were to use his Fear on these creatures, what would happen if they collapsed one day and lowered his strength?

Then, he would be at a disadvantage because the increase in strength he received would definitely disappear along with it.

Flanders would never kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

After thinking this through, Flanders took out the strange detection radar and planned to find a few more strange creatures to subdue.

However, there were no other strange creatures nearby.

This was inevitable.

Most of the strange creatures were well hidden. If they did nothing and tried their best to hide their presence, the strange radar would not be able to detect them.

However, none of them could be like Flanders, who would never be detected.

That was because Flanders was not from this world.

He had transmigrated from another world.

Although the people of this world could sense Flanders’s body, they could not sense his soul.

In essence, however, Flanders’s body was just a scarecrow, and naturally, an ordinary scarecrow would not be detected.

In addition to that was Flanders’s Disguise skill.

That made it even more difficult for the Mage Association to locate Flanders’s whereabouts.

It could almost be said that unless they happened to see Flanders commit murder, the Mage Association would never find him.

Logically speaking, it should have been like this.

This time, however, it was slightly different.

Flanders slowly opened his eyes and looked at the stairs that led to the rooftop.

At this time, a man and a woman appeared at the top of the stairs, staring at Flanders.
