Chapter 770: No More Brainrot For You
So… I learned a few things today… One of them is that my Shadow Guards seem to be quite the group of sadists…
Like holy shit… They’re even doing things I never even thought they would do…
They had him strung up by his balls, stuffed his mouth with his own underwear, then used him as a punching bag.
The thing was that their punches were all concentrated on a specific area between his legs and all of them were using gloves that had spikes on them.
As if that wasn’t enough, they then started shoving an entire spear up his ass while several of them kept healing him to make sure he didn’t die.
That poor dude was already begging for mercy by the first ten minutes but no one paid him any mind.
When we reached the twenty minute mark and my Shadow Guards were slowly slicing pieces of his flesh off his body, Sherry and Melanin showed up.
At first, they looked panicked by the sight of all my Shadow Guards, thinking it was even more enemies swarming me until they saw me seated on Eins’s lap.
Just for the record, I was actually picked up by Eins and carried here to sit on her lap. I did not even order her to do it.
Ok, I kind of did… Because I was thinking about sitting somewhere comfortable and that thought must have been registered as an order mentally by Eins so she did that.
And not gonna lie, it was actually really comfortable, especially when I had a pair of soft pillows to rest my head on as well.
“Young Mistress?” Sherry called out, looking confused. “What’s going on?”
I nodded at the Off-Worlder, “Just doing some interrogation on some idiot that refused to talk, no big deal~”
Melanin shook her head, “I think what she meant was where all of these maids came from? And why… Do they all look like a colour swapped version of you, Young Mistress?”
I blinked at her, “Eh? You don’t know about this one?”
“Know about what, Young Mistress?”
“Err… My Shadow Guards?”
Both girls shook their heads.
Huh… So I guess this information wasn’t shared? I was sure that they would have gone ahead to tell everyone about what I could do at this point.
Sherry started to panic, “Wa wa wa! Were we not supposed to know about this?”
I scratched my head, “Ehhh… I don’t think it’s a big secret to people within our family… But I guess it certainly is a secret that outsiders cannot know about. Apparently this skill is something that people will go to war over.”
Melanin looked at me seriously, “Understood, Young Mistress. We will subject ourselves to memory erasure after this.”
… What?
“Did you just say… Memory erasure?” I asked, making sure I heard it correctly.
Melanin gave me a smile, “Don’t worry about it, Young Mistress. That’s something for us to deal with.”
Err… Ok? The way she said it so casually kind of told me this wouldn’t even be the first time they subjected themselves to it… I’m guessing there’s just some things that would be better for them not to know especially as a field operative?
I don’t actually want to know…
Sherry looked at the Shadow Guards currently scraping off the screaming Off-Worlder’s skin, “Umm… These maids are friendly right?”
I nodded, “Yeah, they’re basically an upgraded version of Shadow Summons except they kind of have sentience and are permanent summons. Plus they also grow as I do in strength and can cast magic too.”
Melanin nodded, “I can see why people would fight wars over this. You could potentially wipe out an entire country on your own, Young Mistress.”
I giggled, “Ehehe~ Yes, that’s what I was told as well.”
“Are you trying to destroy a country, Young Mistress?” Sherry asked, looking excited for some reason.
“Huh? Err… No? At least not for now?”
“Oh, if you do, please make use of us as well Young Mistress! We will gladly help you in your world conquest!”
First of all… I’m not interested in anything as grandiose as world conquest, ok?
Second of all, I want to explore the World, not destroy it!
And I really want some sweets now…
“Master.”
I turned when I heard Eins calling me, only to see her with a cookie in her hands.
A small part of me wondered where she got that cookie from. The rest of me threw that question away as I gleefully took that cookie and started munching on it with relish.
Mmmmm!! So sweet! Yummy!!
“Hnnnggh… So that’s the sweet Young Mistress all the house maids were bragging about…”
“Mnnggh… Is it too late for me to transfer over to that division?”
I think I heard the two girls discussing something over there but I was too busy enjoying the cookie to pay attention to them.
I licked my fingers clean and by the time I was finished with the cookie, it coincided with the one hour mark as well so my Shadow Guards stepped away from the half dead Off-Worlder they just tortured.
Geez, you girls really didn’t hold back huh?
Also… It looks like Sherry and Melanin were busy writing something down in their notebooks like they were taking notes.
Something tells me that I don’t want to know what they were taking notes on.
I got up from Eins’s lap and went over to the Off-Worlder who was laying on the ground with a dead look in his eyes.
“So… Ready to answer questions yet?” I asked, poking him on the cheek.
“Ye… Yes…” He groaned.
“Ok, first question… Why the fuck were you talking like that?”
“I… I thought I could… Be popular with it… Because it makes me stand out…”
What the flying fuck?
“Don’t you think it would just make you look weird?”
“Be… Being normal… Doesn’t make you stand out… Being weird gets you noticed quickly…”
“I would seriously argue that this would be infamy and you don’t look like someone who wants that…”
“It wasn’t… For me… I just needed to get… Attention…”
I frowned, realising that this might have something to do with his goal here.
“And what is your goal here where you possess other people with this artefact? Actually wait… Where did you even get this artefact in the first place?”
“Leader… Gave it to me… And told me to create an army with it… While getting as much attention as I could… Just to get others to notice me…”
“Why do you want to be noticed?”
“I… I don’t know… I think… Leader wanted me to attract… More Off-Worlders…”
Ok yeah… I can see that definitely making other Off-Worlders take notice and maybe even come to investigate.
And I can already guess why they would want more Off-Worlders to gather so that they could expand their group with new members.
“And what about the people you possessed?” I asked, holding up the bangle that he was using.
“I was… Ordered to start a conflict… At the border… That would incite a skirmish between that desert kingdom and this kingdom…”
They’re really trying to start a world war or something?
Huh…
Is that their goal? To incite a worldwide conflict before they sweep in and claim everything in the rubble? Or were they planning to pretend like they are the saviours and have everything be given to them on a platter?
I guess I won’t know since their plan most likely won’t come into fruition anyway.
Alright, I guess I should just release the people that were possessed by this bangle then.
Err… How do I do that again?
I put the bangle on my own wrist and…
Wooooooaaahhhh!!
Holy crap, I feel like I’m suddenly brimming with power! Like I could literally lift our entire mansion up if I really wanted to!
What’s more, I suddenly knew various different types of magic at the back of my head and I could even use them if I wanted to!
Wait, that reminds me…
I looked back at the Off-Worlder, “How did you manage to use chantless magic?”
He seemed to stare off into the distance for a moment before answering, “I… Don’t know… I could not do it before… But after possessing a few of them… I found that I could suddenly do it…”
Huh… So maybe you have to grow to a certain point in magic before you could do it?
No wait, my stats were way lower than his when I found that I could use magic without chanting…
Maybe it’s some type of special skill or even a unique skill?
That can’t be it either since I don’t have one that is related to that…
Ah whatever, it’s not that important anyway…
Plus I better get rid of this bangle before this feeling of power corrupts me into wanting to keep this for myself.
Thankfully, when I put it on, it gave me the instinctual knowledge on how to free the people that were possessed as well.
One was to individually break the masks of each possessed individual. The other was to just break the bangle.
Well, that’s what I did.
I took off the bangle and used my Light Sword to chop it in half, easy peasy.
Things that looked like souls started shooting out of the bangle and flew towards different directions, probably to return to where those guys were taken from and reforming them without the masks.
I guess that’s what happens if you don’t break their mask to free them from the control.
That’s nice.
I guess I’m officially done with this guy aren’t I?
