Limitless Evolution: The Path To Immortality

100 Slave Collar [2] - Silence those who see



*Click*

The runes shone on the collar, before a green screen appeared before Silas’ eyes.

[An unknown energy is entering your body]

[Slave item detected]

[Your volition flame is retaliating]

[Your mind is retaliating]

[Your body is retaliating]

[Your soul is retaliating]

[Your resistance to slave items has increased]

Silas could feel the mana inside his body consuming the mana that was entering through the collar.

It was happening at a tremendous pace, but from the words that were appearing on the screen, Silas was worried that retaliating might mean that his body, mind, and soul might fight back and possibly destroy the collar.

Looking down, Silas realized that he couldn’t take it off on his own without breaking it. These kinds of collars had a function that made it impossible for anyone other than the person who had put the collar on to take them off. 

However, right as he was about to ask Jessica to take it off before his body destroyed it, he heard a maniacal laugh come from her.

She looked a little crazy while laughing, but Silas couldn’t help but feel a tiny sliver of attraction toward her.

‘Ah… These weird feelings of attraction will get me in trouble one day.’ Silas thought, pinpointing exactly what he found attractive about her at that moment…

“You idiot… You absolute moron! You’re so stupid! Oh my god I can’t believe this.” She spoke with enthusiasm and joy in her voice.

“I get to both survive and have a slave all to myself. Greed doesn’t have to know about you. I’ll keep you a secret. Maybe I’ll tell her that you died due to the mission.” She jumped up and down like an excited little girl awaiting her Christmas presents.

“Now! Kneel before your queen!” She shouted with hands on her hips and her chin pointing toward the sky.

“Take the collar off.” Silas commanded, yet she just laughed again.

Her body was immediately flung back, shooting through several trees before dropping to the ground and puking everything in her stomach.

“Take… It… Off.” Silas spoke, this time pausing between each word in order to emphasize them.

“B-But… How.” She muttered, yet her random ramblings only served her with another beating.

After a few minutes of this, Jessica found herself laying against a tree, her entire body having been beaten, bruised, and bloodied after Silas had bashed her around for the 10th time.

“Take it off.” Silas ordered again, however, this time he held an icicle in his hand and placed it over her heart.

This time she yielded and did as he ordered. A few seconds later, she was the one with a collar around her neck, and the moment Silas heard the click that indicated it was closed, he picked her up by the hair and looked her in the eyes.

“Does this slave collar have a cloaking feature?” Silas asked.

At that moment, her eyes glowed blue for a moment before she spoke.

“Yes, sir. You can find it near the latch.” 

Silas looked at the area she pointed out before narrowing his eyes and tilting his head.

“How do I activate it?” Silas asked.

“Just tap on the right and left-hand side of the latch at the same time.”

*Beep*

Doing what she said, Silas watched as the collar disappeared before his far eyes, becoming extremely thin before eventually putting itself into her skin and becoming one with it.

“Alright. Here’s the plan. If anyone asks you anything about the mission, you’re going to tell them this…”

***

Silas walked down the bridge connected to the elevator-like platform. Jessica was walking right behind him, and now she seemed a lot more like her real self.

Silas had made sure that her personality didn’t change. When he had placed the collar on her, she had become a robot. Even her eyes felt like they had become hollow as if there was no life in them.

However, now she looked exactly like how she was before. Hell, even her wounds were healing for a reason she couldn’t understand.

Yet, there were some differences in how she would act, not that anyone else other than Silas would notice.

Silas had ordered her to swear complete loyalty to him. Anything that might in any way betray him was prohibited for her to do. He then told her what to say when people asked her how the mission went, while also spying on Greed for him and telling him everything about her that she knew.

“Oh. Mr. Evergreen?” A man asked as Silas beeped his card at the front booth. This was something required for everyone to do even though people already do hand scans before entering the city.

“Yes?” Silas asked with a tilt of the head. He had his hood on to make sure people didn’t see his black hair. It was also to make sure that his previous identity as Silas Skylark would remain safe.

“Sir. The commander has ordered us to tell you to go to his office when you return from your mission.” The man explained.

“Alright. Will do.” Silas raised his hand as a way of telling the man ‘farewell’ before walking away from the booth.

After a while, Silas said goodbye to Jessica as well as she walked toward the mercenary hall to give her report in. Of course, Silas had placed some precautions in place that ensured Jessica wouldn’t say a thing if the collar was somehow removed.

Looking at her through his mystic eyes, Silas sighed and walked in the direction of Arichie’s office.

However, as he walked in that direction, he chose to look at his status screen, yet when he saw what had changed on it, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes.
