Chapter 600 Treaty with the Lamia
?In the blink of an eye, Vicente had single-handedly resolved the situation that Joshua had imagined might require several Sovereigns and risk the lives of some of those specialists.
As the curtain of lightning covering this area’s outskirts disappeared, along with the earth dummies that were used to prevent the enemies from fleeing, Onyx flew to where his master was with the two Lamias.
One of them was a High-level Mage, so she was completely under Vicente’s control, immobilized and without much choice.
The other was an Earth Sovereign and somehow resisted Vicente’s powers enough to move slowly and mutter things against him.
“Fucking magician! You’ll pay for this!” The strongest Lamia said with difficulty, feeling the hateful sensation of having a large part of herself suppressed by someone.
“Lamia, you only have one chance. Speak or die.” He said as he looked directly into the eyes of the creature that stood a meter away from him.
There was no point in keeping her alive and taking Casey to investigate what they knew. Lamias were very dangerous and could get into the minds of magicians who weren’t much stronger or more powerful than them.
Maybe Casey was strong enough to resist the temptation, but Vicente was sure all the men in his family would be vulnerable to this creature.
On the other hand, even if he could make a slave contract with this creature, monsters and beasts were different.
Society accepted even Dark Path beasts as long as their masters were Light Path magicians. But a monster would never be accepted by society.
In the first city Vicente entered, if Sovereigns were there, they would surround him and demand answers as to why he was carrying a Lamia.
Even if some of these creatures were sold on the black market, no one would accept seeing one walking the streets of their city.
If one were crazy enough to keep them on their own property, that was their problem. But keeping them tied to private property and letting them roam free were two different things.
Vicente would have to travel a long way to get home, and he would hardly be able to hide a Lamia if he decided to enslave her. So he didn’t want to risk taking one of them with him.
Since his mental power wasn’t enough to make them talk, he could only use threats to get them to open their mouths and tell him what they knew. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
The Lamia laughed at Vicente’s provocation. “Talk or die? You’re trying to tell me that I have the option of dying and dying. Or are you going to let me live? That would be stupid.”
“You are wise, Lamia. Worthy of your damned race.” Vicente commented before saying. “But you have a chance with me. You won’t live, but you will die painlessly. On the other hand, if you don’t tell me anything, I’ll have to make you suffer a little.”
“Isn’t there a chance I’ll get out of this alive?” She asked, trying to change the magician’s mind. “I can be precious to you, human. I can destroy your enemies!”
“I’m afraid neither you nor I can do that, Lamia.” Vicente sighed as he thought of the organization that had taken Lauren. “At least not now. And taking you as my slave would be very problematic. But maybe I’ll take your companion…
She’s much weaker than you and can be under my total control.” Vicente looked at the other Lamia, who was standing completely still next to the Earth Sovereign Lamia.
This stronger Lamia looked at the other angrily and said. “I am willing to talk. This one doesn’t know half the things I know, human. But I want to make a deal with you.”
“Oh?”
“Don’t kill me. Extract my soul from my body and take me on your journey. When you grow stronger and have the confidence to manipulate me, allow me to have a body again.” She tried to bargain for her life.
Vicente narrowed his eyes as Onyx and Joshua stopped beside him, both equally curious about this proposal.
Torne said in his master’s mind. ‘Lamias are distant relatives of vampires, master. They can temporarily live without a body. In particular, they have abilities that give them the ability to form a temporary spirit body and live without a body.
This spirit body would be very similar to that of a ghost, but it would not have territorial limitations, and it would not have the great longevity of a ghost. In fact, in this situation, it would be more accurate to say that they look like forest spirits than it would be to say that they look like ghosts.
But I don’t know how beneficial this arrangement would be for her. It will take you a few years to become strong enough to control a being like her. But this particular form Lamias can use would last a few months at most.’
Vicente asked the creature. “And how would we do that, Lamia? You wouldn’t last long without your body.”
The Lamia smiled through the pain and said. “You know a lot about Lamias, haha. But don’t worry, I have a special method. In my spatial ring, there is a device that looks like a crystal. It’s a special jewel that can contain souls. If my soul stays inside it, I can wait for you for years without risking my existence.”
“Oh? Is there such a thing?” He asked in surprise.
“There is, hehe. There’s everything in this world. This crystal can also perfectly contain a pentagram. Artificial devices made by magicians can hold them for weeks at most. But this crystal can do it for years! It is the form created by nature itself to hold special essences!”
Vicente narrowed his eyes and thought silently. If he could keep her in a device that he could control, it would be interesting for him to make a deal with this monster. That way, he wouldn’t have to go back and forth across the continent with her, no one would know that a monster was at his side, and she wouldn’t be able to seduce his men and cause trouble for him.
Come to think of it, this was perfect!
He could even get a new advisor besides Torne!
“All right, Lamia, you have my word,” Vicente said as Joshua looked at him worriedly.
“Are you sure, Senior? That monster would devour you if she had the chance.” Joshua commented with a skeptical look, wondering if this deal would work out.
“Don’t worry. You’ll get her body, Joshua. I’d just take her soul.” Vicente said to calm the soldier and show the Lamia that it would be difficult for her to regain her freedom.
The body of a Lamia was like that of a Vampire: very resilient and able to regenerate or maintain itself over time. It wouldn’t die for lack of a heartbeat or a soul.
The best thing for the Lamia would be for him to preserve her body. But she could possess other bodies and keep her powers and life. So she said nothing to what Vice had just said.
“Well?” Vicente asked her. “Tell me what you know. I give you my word that I won’t kill you.”
