Chapter 22 - A New Servant (2/2)
” I am not interested in your body.”
Even though Shad had never experienced the passionate love between a man and a woman, he won't force his way on someone without her consent. shad's heart was not focussed on lust. his ambitions lay in places beyond that, such as the purple lightning in his mana pool, protecting his family, or preventing anyone from controlling his destiny or suppress him as well the truth behind his reincarnation, but that doesn't mean he will say a virgin all his life.
Even though he said that the female assassin did not believe him, nonetheless Shad did not care.
with a flipped of his palm, a strange object appeared within Shad's palm. it was wiggling and looking closely at it, it was one inch long strange bug.
the body of the bug was grey in color yet it had densely packed black-colored claws. it was extremely revolting, but the most importing thing was the body of the bug. it was emanating an aura that caused the ice-cold looking assassin to tremble.
” brain-devouring insect.” blurted out the assassin.
” hehehe, It seems that you know a lot. I guess I won't have to explain anything now. the choice is yours.” answered shad with a devilish smile on his face.
the young assassin was not wrong, this bug was called brain devourer insect. once it entered your body, it will go directly to your brain and devourer it bit by bit. however, you won't die but turned into some sort of robot or slave unable to think and act by yourself without the order of the master of the brain devourer insect.
In any case, the fate of the person would be worse than a slave, as the won't be able to feel anything at all, not even pain. you would be basically like an undead.
looking at the ugly looking bug in Shad's hand, beads of cold sweat began to bead up on her forehead and then drip down on her pale face.
the brain devourer insect was Shad's pet and also hard to find. normal people shouldn't have seen it yet that young lady recognized it with a single glance.
seeing that the young assassin was still hesitating, Shad no longer paid attention her. on one hand, he opened her mouth and with the other hand, he was going to stuff the brain devoured insect into her mouth.
”I will take the oath instead.” yelled the young assassin as she was looking at Shad as though she was looking at a devil.
” that's better.” shad really didn't want to feed her the brain devourer insect, not because he was soft-hearted but because her power would drop considerably and won't be able to advance further in the warrior's path.
Shad had never shown mercy to his enemies. however, a young peak 5th class archer was very tempting to subdue.
One of the reasons Shad had built the orphanage was to train orphan kids into warriors or mages and make them infiltrated into either the mercenary guild or hunter guild after the age of fifteen which considered as an adult in the Egul continent. there was no such thing as a free meal in this cruel world and Shad was no saint.
the orphanage was a way for him to recruit fresh blood and expand his influence. Shad knew that he won't be able to accomplish all the things he wants to accomplish by himself and that's why he needs a bunch of faithful subordinates.
” Nina greets you, Master.” after the female assassin swore the servant oath, the relationship between them had changed permanently. Nina bowed as she was looking at Shad with a complicated gaze.
” you are the second servant I've ever accepted. you don't have to feel dejected like I said before I won't force myself upon you and being my servant is one of the best things that could ever happen you.” after saying that, Shad ran deeper within the forest.
Without wasting any more time Nina quickly followed Shad as they disappeared into the dark forest.
