Chapter 120 - Assimilated Mages (1/2)
Fear could drag the target into a terrifying environment and make the target experience fear.
Normally, there was no fear when it came to strange creatures. However, Flanders’s skills allowed them to experience this kind of emotion that they had never experienced before.
Therefore, both the Black and the Domain female ghosts’ reactions were very intense.
Why? Because this was the first time they felt fear, so the effect was very good. They did not know how to face this feeling, so they could only let their fear control them.
And the result of all this was that Black offered its loyalty to Flanders, while the Domain female ghost immediately thought of a way to escape.
All of this was because these strange creatures had never experienced this kind of emotion.
Strange creatures were a very pure existence. Under normal circumstances, they would only make others fear them, and not feel fear themselves.
From the moment this kind of existence was born, the word ‘fear’ did not exist in the dictionary.
That was why Flanders’ Fear had such a good effect.
And the number of fear points obtained from a strange creature was often much more than the number of fear points obtained from mages.
This was the reason why, without experiencing fear and not knowing how to deal with it, a strange creature would naturally release this kind of emotion.
As for mages who were humans, when faced with fear, they would subconsciously suppress it. At the same time, they would divert their attention or use other methods to alleviate this kind of emotion.
Therefore, under the same level of circumstances, the amount of fear that mages released was much less than that of a strange creature.
But now, Flanders had actually encountered a strangeness that understood fear.
And he was sure that he had not used Fear in the battle just now.
He had not awakened the other party’s emotions, so why would the other party still be afraid?
Could it be that the other party was in the same situation as him? Thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible.
Flanders also did not think that there was another existence similar to him in this world.
If that was the case, then there was only one possibility.
That blood-red princess was actually a mage.
To be more precise, she was a mage who was about to be assimilated.
As everyone knew, mages could control the strange creatures.
This kind of use of the strange creatures in battle actually had risks.
Unless it was a master-servant contract like the Sword King, where the master died and the servant also died, if something happened to the mage in a normal contract, then the strange creature would take advantage of a loophole to attack him.
Moreover, the stronger the strange creature, the greater the risk of signing a contract with the other party.
But even so, there would still be countless people who yearned to sign a contract with the strange creatures.
There was no special reason. It was because this was the fastest shortcut to becoming stronger.
Everyone hated the Sword King, but all the mages also envied the Sword King.
It could be said that in the entire Mage Association, except for Rei, everyone would not feel envious after hearing about the Sword King.
Sword Apophis was a strange type of magic sword. Not only was it rare, but it was also very suitable to form a contract with humans.
This was because this strange creature was a weapon. If one could sign a master-servant contract, then the increase in strength would be much higher than other types of strange creatures of the same level.
Even if it was an ordinary contract, many mages would be very willing to sign it.
Humans were sentient creatures.
They thought that if strange creatures could communicate, then maybe strange creatures could also generate feelings and empathy with humans.
