Chapter 173 - Mark Of Obedience



Lucius looked at the information that was provided by the Nexus and nodded his head. This gift was far more useful than the one before. The specific term about being able to control the Adhesiveness with the amount of Aether used was Key to the effectiveness of the gift.

Lucius could think of several ways this could be used. Feints and facades would be greatly useful with a gift like this. Neta, who had been stunned from this, finally managed to get out of his daze.

​​

"My Gift… My lord…" Neta muttered, finally understanding all that had happened.

He raised his hand and saw as slime started being produced from it. The slime was translucent and looked like water at first sight. Only after something came in contact with it, would they be able to see its effectiveness.

"Try out your new gift, I wanna see how it works," Lucius ordered.

"Yes, my lord," Neta said as he dripped some slime onto the ground.

Lucius then took the chair he was sitting on and put it on the slime. The slime had spread around rather evenly than Lucius had expected and didn\'t look to have changed. But when Lucius tried to move the chair, he found it to be quite difficult.

"Hmm…" Lucius exerted some more force and saw the chair finally lift from the ground.

The only difference was that the slime was joining the ground and the chair like an elastic band. The moment Lucius let go, the chair was pulled back to the ground. 

~thud~

The chair hit the ground with some noise as the slime showed its effectiveness. Lucius then picked up a dagger and pulled the chair back up. This time though, he tried cutting the stringy slime that was connecting the floor and chair.

~twang~

The slime was pulled along with the dagger and was not cut, despite the sharpness of the blade. In fact, the blade got entangled in the slime as well, putting it out of use. 

\'This is far better than I thought… for an uncommon gift this is very useful if one considered restrictive value.\' Lucius thought to himself.

He then picked up the lamp that was kept on the table and poured out some oil on the slime. 

~click~

Lucius used the flint striker and ignited the oil.

~shua~

The oil on the slime ignited instantly and with it the slime started to burn as well. About thirty seconds later, the slime was burned away and so was the oil. Though the chair was now scorched as well.

Neta who saw the slime, was surprised with its strength too. He had used a normal amount of Aether to make the slime and despite that, its adhesiveness was quite strong. Previous when he had sticky touch he would just use that to do his servant work.

Carrying food trays and items such as that became easier, as they would be stuck to his hands. This would prevent him from accidentally spilling things. Neta knew that if he wanted to he could still use the gift that he had before. It was just that its use and ability had been further expanded.

"I never thought this could be possible… a gift increasing in grade…" Neta said.

Since he had a full awakening when the gift was upgraded, Neta knew nearly everything about his gift, right from its name to its rarity.

"This is only one of the things to come, Neta. If you continue to work hard, your gift would be upgraded even more." Lucius said, tempting the man even more.

~thud~

Neta directly kneeled on one knee in a servile manner while lowering his head.

"I shall devote my life to you, my lord. An opportunity like this, my lord… I do not know if I can repay you with anything else." Neta stated.

"Good! Just do as I saw and you will have a fulfilling life. Though what happened today cannot be revealed to the others. Unless I permit to do so." Lucius warned.

"Of course, my lord. Not a single soul other than me and those permitted by you will know about what happened here." Neta replied with determination.

"Mm… your work here is done for now." Lucius said and dismissed the servant for now.

Neta understood the gesture and left the bedroom swiftly. Lucius locked it on the way out and sat back on the bed. He looked into his mind space and saw the Spell matrix intact, albeit with some cracks here and there.

"Hmm… so a Mark of Obedience was able to withstand the use and can be used at least once more." Lucius muttered to himself.

The Mark of Obedience was the next spell matrix that he had made. It was a spell that was far complex that\'s the ones he had made before. In a way, it was similar to the Mark of Loyalty that he had given Kiana.

Though there were some differences in them too. The Mark Of Loyalty was not exactly a spell and was more like a way to link two people. The Mark Of Obedience was a spell that could kill the person that it was used on if they didn\'t listen to the commands of the caster.

Of course, there were specific conditions to its use and it could not just be forced on anyone. The basic condition for its use was that the person it was to be used on agreed to it. Only once that was done could the spell be executed.

Of course, the mark of obedience could be operated in different ways. Either a specific rule could be added to it, the violation of which would kill the bearer of the mark, or the caster could trigger the mark on his own, killing the person.

Because of the strict condition like this, there were very few people that were actually able to use this spell. But this was also a spell that could be said to be one of the strongest binding spells that could be done with Hell energy!
