Chapter 179
The woman locked eyes with Drayken, those eyes glowed with infinite might, divine wrath, like a god of lightning.
It was simply terrifying.
So terrifying that even a Telekinetic Master like her felt…
Scared.
The feeling of fear overtook all her senses, dulling her emotions for a moment.
“Nothing,” she barely managed to speak.
“Kneel.”
Drayken spoke lightly, his eyes spewing lightning energy so vast and terrifying, it felt as if the entire world was about to go up in flames.
“Huh?” The woman was stunned for a moment, her pupils dilated as she looked at Drayken in disbelief.
“You didn’t hear me?” Drayken spoke lightly again. “I said kneel.”
Arcs of lightning burst from his body and struck the ground, scorching it into blackened earth.
The woman was slightly grazed, and the lightning effortlessly destroyed the Telekinetic barrier on her skin, causing a searing pain that nearly shut down her nervous system.
She panicked, turning around to run.
However, Drayken coldly pointed his palm and spoke:
“Last chance.”
The woman froze on the spot. Taking another step seemed easy, but she couldn’t make up her mind to do it.
It was as if every fiber of her muscles screamed in protest at moving forward.
It felt like she was bound to the very earth—but it was just her imagination.
She was scared of him…
Scared of death.
Gradually, she turned around and looked at Drayken with a sigh.
“I surrender.”
“…” Drayken was silent, simply staring at her.
“Yes, yes.” She kneeled, one knee touching the ground.
Someone theoretically comparable even to the level of Eleanor now bowed to him and Drayken hadn’t even done anything.
He felt a little exhilarated by this power, the power of absolute strength that could crush everything.
This feeling was simply amazing.
Even his dragon bloodline seemed delighted, erupting in exhilaration.
Drayken closed his eyes and returned to his calm and composed demeanor, as if nothing in this world could touch him.
“What’s your name?” Drayken asked.
“My name is Yolanda,” she said with a bow of her head.
“So, Yolanda, will you become my servant or not?”
Drayken could have killed her easily, but there was no point. She was more valuable alive. A Telekinetic Master held considerable worth to the human kingdom.
Yolanda trembled but didn’t respond.
Just then, Drayken noticed something strange, something that immediately made him grin:
“You never learn your lesson.”
Blood engulfed the entire area, forming into a blood domain that captured both of them.
“This is my home ground. Let’s see if you can withstand my power here,” Yolanda laughed triumphantly, a mocking grin on her face.
Drayken just stood there with his arms folded, calmly watching her.
“Hmph.” Seeing him like this, Yolanda flinched for a moment. His calmness made her nervous—a flicker of uncertainty crept into her mind, but she moved instantly.
Thousands of weapons formed from the blood of the domain and honed in on Drayken.
At the same time, she raised the sword she used to fly through the sky and cut her wrist.
Immediately, blood gushed from her wrist, almost forming a river.
Then, right before Drayken’s eyes, her body began to disintegrate into blood, merging with the surrounding domain.
“You can do that!?”
Drayken thought to himself. He was analyzing her every move—something that could prove useful for Zarek when he developed his own mutant Telekinetic ability.
That’s why he simply stood there, observing everything.
Suddenly, the blood began to boil. Drayken felt a pull from within his body, his own blood was boiling, resonating with the blood outside, trying to escape.
Immediately, Drayken went pale, yet he didn’t move an inch.
“My blood is trying to escape… an interesting technique,” he commented lightly.
Lightning erupted from his body, frying everything nearby.
The pull from the blood gradually weakened.
Then, Drayken watched as the blood gathered, forming into the shape of multiple samurais…
Blood Samurais.
Drayken just stood there and the samurai attacked.
At the last moment, just as their attack neared, he discharged a surge of lightning that completely destroyed all of the Blood Samurais along with the weapons aimed at him.
“Is that all?” Drayken looked around.
“…” ⓪_⓪
Yolanda felt like cursing, these were literally all her trump cards, and Drayken destroyed them as if they were nothing.
Silence.
“Should I make a move now?” Drayken asked, his brows twitching.
(ó﹏ò｡)
For a moment, she couldn’t even speak.
“Three.” Drayken started to count down lightly.
“I am willing to give up.” In the end, Yolanda sighed. The blood dome vanished, and Drayken saw the clear sky again, nodding with a satisfied expression.
Yolanda seemed to have truly given up. She looked at Drayken with her brows furrowed.
“What do you want from me?”
“It’s simple. I want you to be my spy, you should have assumed that already, right?” Drayken said, handing her a pill with a mysterious smile on his face.
Yolanda looked at the pill and gritted her teeth. If she took this pill, the consequences would be terrifying.
The betrayal of humanity.
It was a burden that would stain her, even in death. And everyone related to her.
The consequences were enough to make one’s head spiral in disbelief.
But in the end…
Yolanda took the pill and swallowed it.
…The fear of death won out.
Drayken watched with a calm, cold gaze.
Only after confirming that she had fully swallowed it and that he could detonate it at any time, did Drayken finally withdraw his pressure.
The two returned to Synthia.
“Let’s start our hunt,” he commented lightly.
“What should I do?” Yolanda asked, a confused expression on her face.
“You’ll help us hunt humans, for now,” Drayken grinned.
Once she killed a human, there would be no going back. Even if she somehow managed to remove the effects of the life-and-death pill… she wouldn’t be able to return.
A quicksand where you can only sink—never rise.
Yolanda was pale but could only nod helplessly.
And so, the party of three continued their hunt.
But for Zarek, it was a different story…
