Julius smiled upon seeing Talia and myself and took us to where our rchandise are stored. According to him;
"Sir, I imdiately had them placed in the most secure spot in this entire Auction House after you bid for them"
It's fine though, as expected everything is going accordingly. I ended up spending a bit more than the estimated amount, but its inconsequential anyway. After all, what I am gaining will be far much more.
Julius opened the door to a luxurious looking vault. Not only did it look truly exquisite, but it also looks highly fortified. I sense divine power from the vault itself so it must be powered by a Relic. How interesting.
I entered the vault and saw the wings on one end, and the shapeshifting slave on the other end, standing and folding his hands. Of course chains were tied to his feet, both hands and his neck. He didn't seem to mind though. The slave looked at , I stared back. The slave kept looking at with a glare. How audacious.
Perhaps he needs to be disciplined. Even Talia had enough sense to show fear when she first saw . Oh yeah, I haven't shown this foolish slave any of my powers yet. He must take for a stupid rich person who bought him, ignorant of his race's notoriety.
"Kneel" I said to the slave.
The slave smiled a mischievous smile which can be sowhat translated to
"Or what?"
"You'd do well to rember your position, filthy mongrel" Julius addressed the slave, upon seeing his reaction to .
He was frowning.
"You're fortunate that soone bought you at all, considering your race's evil na." Julius added.
The slave shrugged.
"Not like I wanted to be sold in the first place, or even caught for that matter" The slave said nonchalantly.
"What was that? What did you just say?" Julius asked, enraged and unable to understand the Shapeshifter's words since he used an Ancient Tongue.
"That's enough Julius" I raised my hand.
The slave smirked at Julius and gave him a cocky smile, knowing Julius could not do anything against him, sly bastard. I'll have to make him subservient. To know his place.
"Looks like I was right. I'd like to have a word or two, privately, with my slave."
Julius gritted his teeth in annoyance as he left the room, leaving Talia and I.
"First things first... 'Root', obtain the Fairy Wings in this vault." I said.
'Root' responded and glowed, shining and sucking the wings within itself. It's more convenient this way. I looked at the slave shapeshifter and looked really fascinated by my ring, 'Root'. If I'm right, I assu he wants to steal it. How utterly bland.
"Looks like I'll have to give you a short education" I said, turning toward him and eventually reached him since this vault isn't that big.
He glared at and gritted his teeth. He continued to glare at , which I found repulsive.
"Your eyes... I don't like them" I said, snapping my finger.
Imdiately, his two eyes exploded. His eyeballs popped out f their sockets and blood gushed all over the floor of the vault. The eye jelly, mixed with blood made a very disgusting and noticeable puddle on the clean ground.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" He scread.
He desperately tried using his chained hands to hold his face and wail even more.
"My eyes! My eyes!!!!" He cried in agony.
Just as Fairies need their wings for their special abilities and a fairy without one is useless, so also Shapeshifters require eyes to change to their targets which is their specialty.
"Still feeling peachy?" I asked him.
"S...S-Screw you!" He grunted.
He still needs more. His mouth, they said so things I don't appreciate. I assembled matter using Hex and created a thin sword, imdiately lunging it to the slave's mouth and slicing his tongue.
"Gwoughhhhthuhhhh" He groaned. He fell on his knees now. His body is already trembling, that's a good sign.
Now, just one more push should do it.
"Next is... Let's see..." I smiled, observing the fool.
He cried out, and from what he was trying to say I can surmise he's pretty spent.
"Gahhhhmnoughhh" He let out in pain.
How utterly sad seeing one of the shifting creatures so miserable. Perhaps it was a waste buying him. I expected more.
"Let's see... I should just end this now, you've been a waste of ti." I told him, readying to snap my fingers.
"W-Wait!" He said, rushing his words while groaning due to the pain in his eye sockets and mouth.
How clever, he transford an unhurt part of his body to his mouth Lets hear what he has to say.
"Y-You can't just do this to " He complained.
"Why not. You're a slave, or better yet, you're now my slave. As your master, I have full control and domination over you. It's that simple." I said to him.
I have to say, this is a pathetic one. I was so sure would be useful. Was I wrong?"
I raised my hand to snap the little fool into his death.
"I never asked for this. I never asked to be captured and sold. It's all the fault of you humans!" He yelled.
I snapped my fingers, his right hand burst into chunks of flesh and scattered all over the room.
"GAHHHHRGHHHHH" He scread.
"How utterly pathetic. You have committed three sins today, slave" I told him.
He groaned and grunted while holding his right hand which had gotten destroyed.
"Firstly, you are disobedient. Secondly... You give too many excuses and blas. If you're unhappy about sothing, then change it. If you can't, look for soone who can, instead of whining . Finally... You insulted . How dare you compare to humans?" I said to him in irritation.
He was now muttering unintelligible words, the pain was getting to him too much, and naturally he would have passed out at this point, but all this is as a result of my influence. He'll feel every single pain without relief, until he is properly learned.
Slowly and suddenly he looked to Talia's direction. She was rely in one corner of the room, observing what was going on in silence.
"H-How can you serve this kind of master...? How can you...?" He winced and groaned again.
She remained silent. She could not answer, this entire ordeal probably reminds her of how I rescued her from the soldiers. The blood and all that. It could be trauma, or... It could be that she fears if she speaks, she could be next.
Well, she's not wrong! One of the reasons I let her stay to watch this is to show her the reality of things. Yes I go out of my way for her, like buying her wings for a ridiculously high amount of money, but that's rely because she's more useful to with it. Sa with the other things I've given her. Her clothes, accessories etc. In the end she is rely a pawn in my ga.
And the thing I like about Talia is that she is aware of this, unlike this bratty shifter.
However, seeing as I'm no waster of resources, I won't just throw this one away. Since I bought him, I might as well just refine and transform him into the image I want him to be. However, that doesn't excuse his stupidity. He needs to at least die for that.
I summoned a sword by using the surrounding matter and pierced the slave from his face. The sword passed through his skull, past his temple and finally exited it, appearing on the other side.
"Gurghkh" He coughed out blood and fell to die.
He groaned and moved around a bit before dying due to loss of too much blood and the extre pain appearing all at once. He finally breathed his last after so grunting, leaving his dead and lifeless body.
"There's no way you can survive that" I said to him, though he is dead.
He will definitely die, but..
"HEX #39" I said "Causality Reversal." I said.
Imdiately, the slave began to rise from where he fell from. The blood he lost started entering again, and within a few seconds, he was fully healed and standing as I t him when I first entered the room.
"Y-You... I, but I died just now. What is happening?" He asked in utter confusion.
"Let's try this again, one more ti..." I said, ignoring his questions.
He looked at , but imdiately looked away. Good, but that's not all.
"... Kneel!" I commanded him.
With his legs shaking, and his pride alongside his ego broken, he knelt before . Tears rolled down his eyes and his lips trembled. . See? It isn't so hard.
His entire wounds and pain had been reversed by my Hex, but not his mind. He still rembers every pain he felt, every drop of blood he lost. And seeing as I'm able to return him to his original state, its always an option to restart the process again from scratch.
At least he has enough sense to do the needful and bow down before his new master
"Now that's more like it" I smiled wickedly.
