Chapter 24 - Heaven-Defying Recovery Ability (1/2)
The facial expression of Nina became indiscernible. Her two pupils started to shine with dangerous radiance as she was looking at Shad lying down on the ground with a painful expression on his face.
Nonetheless, Shad did not worry about Nina because there's no way she could kill shad or do something bad to him due to the restraint caused by the servant contract or oath.
the servant contract was a sever master and servant contact that forces the servant to obey the master, it wasn't some equal partnership contract. once it was formed, the master can control the servant's life and freedom.
The contract can be destroyed at any time, but the moment the contract is broken, the servant will die automatically. At the same time, if the master dies, the servant will also die. if the servant dies, the contract will be broken, but the master will not be implicated or impacted by it.
In another word, the minute the contract or the oath was taken, Nina's freedom and life all belonged to Shad. she did not exist for herself anymore, rather she existed for her master even though this decision was against her will.
” lean my body against that huge tree,” Said Shad while looking at the cold and expressionless look of Nina.
” yes master,” Answered Nina.
Nina really wanted to harm Shad. However, every time she thinks about it, she would feel a stabbing pain in her soul. she had a feeling that, if she ever acted on that thought, her soul will be scattered into the winds before she could even act.
the most important thing about the servant contract was the master's soul. the stronger the soul of the master was, the stronger the contract would be. Also, because of that, Only a powerful mage or mage with strong soul force can make a contact.
Not only that, the master will also sense when the servant was thinking about doing him harm and can even kill the servant on the spot without the need to lift a single finger.
After putting Shad next to the huge tree, Nina released a long sigh and then stood next to him watching her surrounding. she already knew that her life was in the hand of Shad after she had taken that servant Oath, not even her father can save her from that faith.
she could only hope that he won't force himself onto her or make her do many evil things. Even though she was an assassin, she still had her bottom line.
Aside from that, this new master of his seemed to be really mysterious and powerful. Not only, he was able to freely manipulate the lightning element without the use of the magic spell, he was physically strong as well which is something really peculiar for a mage. Thinking about his, Nina took a quick glance at Shad on the ground. the corners of her mouth turned into a faint smile, almost as if didn't exist.
On the ground, Shad was enduring an immense pain throughout his body, akin to being set on fire.
After overuse, all the lightning energy within his mana pool as well using his body more than three times on the same day as a conductor to release this large amount of lightning energy, his body was at its limit and some of his internal organs seemed to be torn apart.
Even though his body is pretty strong compared to a 4th and 5th class warrior, that doesn't mean he can use the lightning energy within his body in large amount every day as he pleases, there's a limit to it and if he wants to use the lightning energy within his body like he's been doing then he has to train or strengthing his body further or the consequences might be dire.
While Shad was enduring the pain
Suddenly,
A warm purple stream flows out directly from the purple lightning seed within his mana pool and circulated throughout his veins and torn organs. the purple steams was like a gentle stream quietly alleviating the pain. wherever the purple streams went, it reduced the pain, thus Shad became a little relieved.
