"Kanon, I want to test sothing," I whispered, giving her a soft kiss on the forehead to wake her up.
The room was still wrapped in the cozy embrace of sleep, and I could see the tiredness lingering in her eyes.
"What is it?" she mumbled, still looking a bit drowsy. As her curiosity replaced the exhaustion on her face, she leaned more onto my chest, as if silently asking for a bit more pampering.
Unfortunately for her, I've already experienced what she has to offer, so I've sort of lost interest in playing the in love boyfriend role.
I activated my Domination, and in an instant, her expression went completely blank.
"I want you to always stay loyal to , no matter what," I said, using my Oath skill. I knew it had a low chance of working, but I wanted to give it a shot, especially with soone already fully under my control.
I was banking on my theory that those under my Domination would be a lot easier to control with OATH.
[Oath: Success ]
The success notification chid, and it was as if a sweet lody graced my ears. To my surprise, not only did her dominated title persist, but another icon materialized beside it, like an unexpected bonus buff in a video ga.
=====
Domination =On/Off (OATH)
=====
'Now, I just need to see how powerful that "Can't be dispelled" buff really is.'
"Hold this stone" I said, guiding the moon gem to float right in front of her.
When she touched the gem, I held my breath, waiting for my skills to be block, but nothing happened.
Curious, I decided to turn off Domination to see if she'd still be loyal without it. I tested her with various commands, even threw in so silly one. Regardless of holding the gem or not, she stayed true to her loyalty.
The only thing that didn't work was my Mind link.
It was like hitting a wall—I couldn't create a connection with her while she was holding the gem. Frustrated, I tried commanding her to let go of it. As predicted, the mont she released it, the ntal link reestablished itself.
I kept experinting until I grasped the overall limits of my power. It was all about getting ready for the future. Just in case I run into soone wielding my kryptonite against .
"Good," I nodded in satisfaction. Thank goodness to my genius brain—I managed to find a loophole in the Oath Skill. Now, I've got more tricks up my sleeve for my hypnotic skills, as long as it's with the ladies.
However, I lack the ability to dominate n. Not that I'm complaining; I don't swing that way after all.
After I wrapped up my experint, I did a bit of tinkering with her mind using OATH.
The goal was to program her to never forget anything, no matter what external powers she encountered at Cerebrum. I was curious to see which was stronger: my Oath or that device.
It felt like playing with ntal code, trying to embed a failsafe against any mory-wiping shenanigans.
"Good job, Kanon," I patted her head after finishing up my experint.
She did well, playing the lab rat and all. Since it was already late, I figured it was best to spend the night here. As for the ssy books, a bit of my power was all it took to tidy up the whole place.
Initially, Kanon was adamant about not touching her books, but after a bit of convincing, she reluctantly followed my command. Sotis a little persuasion goes a long way, even with the most dedicated book lovers.
'Now everything is cleaner ,' I muttered to myself ,feeling sleeping already.
"Ti for so shut eye after I take care of that body," I said to her, who followed with a slightly sad look. She was bumd that her ssy room got a makeover. She's the total opposite of soone who has OCD,
As I walked over to tidy up the dead body in the living room, my heart started racing, and I couldn't help but beco alert.
"Sothing is wrong," I mused aloud.
My focus shifted instinctively to the corpse I had pushed to the side. Squinting my eyes, there was just sothing about that body that felt off, giving a strange and uneasy feeling.
BOOOOOOOOM!
"Dammit!" I roared in anger as I raised my burned hands upward, Aegis Projections desperately forming a shield around both and Kanon.
The unfolding scene played out before my eyes—a split second, and Dong Ha's lifeless body erupted into a hot encompassing explosion, the flas consuming the entire room.
I could have teleported out, but the explosion was too fast, leaving with no ti to save Kanon . Fortunately, she was positioned behind , shielding her from the brunt of the blast.
As for ? I can't see how I look right now, but it feels like my face has lted beyond recognition. I'm just hanging on by a thread, fueled by the adrenaline rushing through my body, inhuman attributes, and passive lifesaving skills.
This fla was genuinely powerful enough to reduced anyone to ashes, especially at such close proximity.
"FUCK... IT HURTS!" I gritted my teeth, not out of fear but pure anger. Whoever did this better pray for my death, because if I survive, I'm going to make them suffer.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Another explosion rocked the surroundings, and this ti it hit with even greater force than before. I could sense my Aegis Projection quivering, but it was manageable.
BOOOOOOOOM!
Flas erupted for the third ti, and the entire room began to cave in. I watched as the floor in front of started to crumble, each piece falling away as if the very ground beneath was disintegrating.
"Leave !" Kanon cried out loudly as she saw my burned face.
She thought that I was paralyzed because I was trying to shield her. It was one of those situations where, honestly, I could have teleported us into the air.
However, I hesitated, not wanting to reveal too much of my skills at the mont. After all, teleportation was one of my secret abilities.
Plus, whoever did this might be nearby, so I couldn't afford to waste too much Mind Power.
"Don't worry about it; this is nothing," I tried to play it cool.
