Chapter 159: New Maid
Moving towards the succubus, James used the element of time to close the distance of perhaps a hundred metres between them in just a second and was about to thrust his sword at the succubus when his whole body trembled.
Immediately turning around, he swung his sword and the sound of metals colliding rose into the air:
"CHING!!!"
"No..."
When James said these words, Clarent shuddered, the precious sword seemed to be getting nervous.
Ariel had attacked James. The Succubus' spell seemed to have worked on Ariel in great detail, which was not good news.
James took a few steps back as he carefully parried Ariel's attack, he had to be careful as if he tried to attack the succubus he might get another attack from Ariel.
The smile on the succubus's face seemed to grow wider and wider, and when Ariel stepped in front of the monster to protect her, James shook his head and said, "Don't be mad at me if I hurt you, Ariel."
He looked at his inventory and saw the life potions and bandages, if he could somehow immobilise Ariel he could kill the succubus and survive, and he could do it without causing Ariel any great harm.
He thought he would have to use the time element, for no matter how powerful Ariel was, the time element itself was a huge trick.
The distance between the two was almost fifteen metres, a second's pause from the time element would be enough, but the question was:
How could he slow Ariel down without causing her hereditary damage?
James was filled with these thoughts and tried to find an answer. Unfortunately, he could not help him restrain someone.
James smiled as he suddenly had an idea and remembered that he didn't need the time elemental, it was time to use the item he hadn't used in a long time.
He suddenly reached into his inventory and Ariel rushed forward and the race against time began.
James was dodging Ariel's attacks on the one hand and searching for the item in his inventory on the other. His inventory wasn't that complicated, but dodging Ariel's attacks, who was almost as strong as him, while searching for an item in the inventory was quite challenging.
Nevertheless, after a not-too-long time, he found the item and took it out of his inventory.
"The Bell of Hypnos," he said. As before, the countdown began.
"Tick."
"Tok."
"Tick."
"Tok."
"Tick."
"Tok."
After the three ticks and the three tokes, a huge energy spread around and Ariel fell to the floor. It was like she was knocked unconscious.
James carried Ariel safely and as fast as he could into the woods and then came back out of the woods to kill the succubus he thought had fallen to the ground.
Yet the succubus was standing over James, making that beautiful face as if nothing had happened.
"I didn't know succubus were sleep-resistant," James said, intending to finish everything rather quickly.
James started to hold Clarent tightly in his hand and then started to spread all his aura around. Now that his control over the aura had increased enormously, he was able to burn things with his aura.
I guess it helped that he was somehow using his magic in tandem, of course, it was a wasted use of magic and aura, but no one could say it wasn't cool. experience mvle,mp|y|r
James began to move towards the succubus with heavy steps. The woman in front of him seemed to have accepted death, knowing that there was nothing she could do.
James stopped where he was and waited, frowning and getting a little angry.
"Why don't you try to fight? You were just trying to kill me you know?" James suddenly asked a question that seemed to surprise the succubus.
"I'm not stupid enough to try to run away or fight someone as fast as you, my speed isn't fast enough for you. If I was an incubus, things would be different. Succubus are prone to magic and incubus are prone to aura."
James heard this information for the first time, twisted his lips, nodded his head and then said, "Well, I have to kill you then, I wouldn't want to kill a life form as intelligent as you, but we have to pass the floor."
With those words, the succubus closed its eyes and waited as if accepting death, at that very moment a message window opened in front of James:
[I can send you a scroll, James, if you want to make him your servant. The scroll is a slave-master pact, but I can turn it into a servant-master scroll if both parties agree].
When James heard that the message was from Thanatos, he thought he could trust him and shook his head, "I don't mind, in fact, a servant would be great."
After only a few seconds, James had a scroll in his inventory and a system notification from Emma in front of him:
[You have received a gift from Death Incarnate - Thanatos of Chaos!
Number of gifts you can receive this month: 0]
"To tell you the truth, I didn't even know we could receive gifts," James suddenly said, and the message he received in front of him seemed to tell him why.
[It takes an enormous amount of energy to send a gift James, it's not mana or aura energy, it's holy energy, Thanatos is currently unconscious.]
James shook his head in disbelief as he looked at this message from Nyx and then said '"The next time I see Thanatos I'm going to give him a big hug." he then looked at the woman who had moved closer to the succubus and was now trembling with fear.
"Sign this parchment and I won't have to kill you," James said suddenly and the succubus opened her eyes.
When the succubus took the scroll in her hand, she signed it without reading it and then, gasping for breath, she was finally able to free herself, James hadn't even read the scroll, after all, he trusted Thanatos.
Still, it made sense to him to take one look at the scroll before he put it in his inventory.
