"I am your father."
The soldier's headless body fell on the ground and now Pablo had everyone's full attention.
Pablo jerked his sword, blood splattering from it on to the ground.
Flashy and Draxus were behind Pablo, not saying anything. They saw the soldier's death coming from miles away.
All the alive soldiers stopped what they were doing and walked towards Pablo.
They stood in front of him, staring at him for so explanation.
Pablo, however, was looking for soone and he found him.
"You, co here." He called the man.
Among the young soldiers, he was the only one who looked older and experienced.
The man arrived and stood on Pablo's right side. The dead body of the soldier didn't bother him.
"You were the forr Marshal, huh. Vladimir Hatim." Pablo said.
The man beside him was none other than the forr Marshal whom Pablo replaced.
"Yes." Vladimir replied.
He wasn't showing any respect to Pablo and by his face, it was clear that he wasn't very pleased to see Pablo in the Marshal uniform.
The next mont, Pablo reached out his hand.
Vladimir looked at the hand with skepticism.
"Yes. Let's shake hands." Pablo said.
Vladimir didn't understand this sudden urge of Pablo to shake hands but the forr Marshal reached out his hand as well. A simple handshake won't hurt.
If it was a "simple" handshake, of course.
'Use both.' Pablo commanded.
[ Empathic Echo In Use! ]
Pablo's first Ego was used and instantly, his tongue felt the wrath of all the spices in the universe.
It was as if he put thousands of chillies inside his mouth and was chewing them. His tongue burned.
[ Misis Malefica In Use! ]
Pablo's second Ego also arrived and it did its usual work.
[ Showing you the Target's mories! ]
mories flashed inside Pablo's mind and he saw Vladimir's full life upto the current mont.
How he was demoted from his post and how he was burning with rage.
Nevertheless, after five seconds, Pablo got so good news.
[ Ego Successfully Copied! ]
[ You can keep this Ego with you for twelve hours! ]
[ It is the first ti you copied this Ego. Copy it twenty tis more and you will be able to steal it! ]
[ A Large amount of life force taken from the Target! ]
Pablo let go of Vladimir's hand.
Vladimir frowned and his legs wobbled.
He shot a glare at Pablo.
'He is affected.'
Pablo cleared his throat. "Are you alright?"
"Ye-yes." Vladimir replied and after a short while he was good again.
"You can go back now. I just wanted to introduce myself to you first."
Vladimir nodded and went to join the group of new soldiers.
'He is extrely, faithfully, drastically, horribly angry at . My tongue got blisters just from his emotions.'
"You took his job after all." Cupid said.
'The King wanted to make at least the second Marshal, but all the Marshals clearly refused including the tenth one as well. The King couldn't force them as he was afraid the Marshals might revolt and the Abyssal Butchers would pull a coup d'etat against him.'
"Huh? If even the tenth Marshal had refused then how are you in his position now?"
'Because the Tenth Marshal is the only one who has a weak family. He has a five year old daughter and the King kidnapped her and made her hostage. He then blackmailed the tenth Marshal to give up his position to and since the man loved his only family mber, he accepted the demand and here I am.'
"The King went to such lengths to make you a Marshal. But the poor Marshal, his family beca his weakness."
'Yes. Vladimir argued with the King for a long ti. He threatened that he would kill the king but the old man didn't return his daughter and in the end, the Marshal lost and gave up. But the anger is still there. The Marshal still wants to teach and the King a lesson. All in all, he is angry at and wants to kill .'
"Hmm. Strange." Cupid said.
'What strange?'
"You know he wants to kill you and he is still alive. That's strange. Usually, you would have beheaded him by now just like that soldier." Cupid knew Pablo this much.
Pablo smiled. 'If his Ego is good, he will live longer.'
Cupid didn't ask anything after that. She figured what Pablo ant.
'Show the Ego I copied.' Pablo commanded.
[ Xplosion (Dark Purple) : In the radius of fifty kiloters, you can summon clouds and then they will rain. But it will not be water drops. It will be explosive drops which would blast at the contact of anything, be it people or the ground. ]
[ Note : This rain will only stay for twenty minutes. ]
Pablo read the full thing and nodded.
'It's good. So as of now, I can only copy two Egoes. So if I stole this Ego, I will have this permanently. What I am asking is, if I get one Ego for eternity by stealing, will I still be able to copy two Egoes after that or just one?'
[ Misis Malefica right now could only hold two Egoes. Whether they are copied or not. It has only two slots for Egoes and if you fill one slot with an Ego forever, then only one slot will remain free.
In other words, if you stole one Ego then that Ego will remain with you forever and after that, you can copy one Ego. Not two. Therefore, make sure you steal an Ego you don't regret keeping forever.
In future, the slots for Ego could increase if Misis Malefica gets another upgrade. ]
The system gave a lengthy explanation but it made it clear. Pablo finally understood what he needed to do.
He looked at Vladimir again and once more, he called him forward.
Vladimir gritted his teeths. He felt Pablo was ssing around with him. Calling him back and forth.
Nevertheless, the forr Marshal arrived and stood beside Pablo again.
Pablo looked at the man and smiled. "You want to kill , right?"
Vladimir's eyes widened.
"Don't worry." Pablo smiled more. "You can't."
SHRILL!
Colt made its appearance again.
Vladimir knew what would happen now. He had seen it just a few monts ago.
But Pablo was the fastest when it ca to such things.
WHISH!
Colt sliced through air and before Vladimir could even do a dodge as simple as ducking…
THUD!
His head rolled.
Pablo killed the Forr Marshal.
Two headless dead bodies laid beside the new Marshal and Pablo finally saw a familiar expression on the soldiers' faces.
FEAR.
