Chapter 120 - a.s.similated Mages
Fear could drag the target into a terrifying environment and make the target experience fear.
Normally, there was no fear when it came to strange creatures. However, Flanders"s skills allowed them to experience this kind of emotion that they had never experienced before.
Therefore, both the Black and the Domain female ghosts" reactions were very intense.
Why? Because this was the first time they felt fear, so the effect was very good. They did not know how to face this feeling, so they could only let their fear control them.
And the result of all this was that Black offered its loyalty to Flanders, while the Domain female ghost immediately thought of a way to escape.
All of this was because these strange creatures had never experienced this kind of emotion.
Strange creatures were a very pure existence. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they would only make others fear them, and not feel fear themselves.
From the moment this kind of existence was born, the word "fear" did not exist in the dictionary.
That was why Flanders" Fear had such a good effect.
And the number of fear points obtained from a strange creature was often much more than the number of fear points obtained from mages.
This was the reason why, without experiencing fear and not knowing how to deal with it, a strange creature would naturally release this kind of emotion.
As for mages who were humans, when faced with fear, they would subconsciously suppress it. At the same time, they would divert their attention or use other methods to alleviate this kind of emotion.
Therefore, under the same level of circ.u.mstances, the amount of fear that mages released was much less than that of a strange creature.
But now, Flanders had actually encountered a strangeness that understood fear.
And he was sure that he had not used Fear in the battle just now.
He had not awakened the other party"s emotions, so why would the other party still be afraid?
Could it be that the other party was in the same situation as him? Thinking about it, he knew that it was impossible.
Flanders also did not think that there was another existence similar to him in this world.
If that was the case, then there was only one possibility.
That blood-red princess was actually a mage.
To be more precise, she was a mage who was about to be a.s.similated.
As everyone knew, mages could control the strange creatures.
This kind of use of the strange creatures in battle actually had risks.
Unless it was a master-servant contract like the Sword King, where the master died and the servant also died, if something happened to the mage in a normal contract, then the strange creature would take advantage of a loophole to attack him.
Moreover, the stronger the strange creature, the greater the risk of signing a contract with the other party.
But even so, there would still be countless people who yearned to sign a contract with the strange creatures.
There was no special reason. It was because this was the fastest shortcut to becoming stronger.
Everyone hated the Sword King, but all the mages also envied the Sword King.
It could be said that in the entire Mage a.s.sociation, except for Rei, everyone would not feel envious after hearing about the Sword King.
Sword Apophis was a strange type of magic sword. Not only was it rare, but it was also very suitable to form a contract with humans.
This was because this strange creature was a weapon. If one could sign a master-servant contract, then the increase in strength would be much higher than other types of strange creatures of the same level.
Even if it was an ordinary contract, many mages would be very willing to sign it.
Humans were sentient creatures.
They thought that if strange creatures could communicate, then maybe strange creatures could also generate feelings and empathy with humans.
For this ridiculous idea, many mages had been stabbed in the back by the strange creatures of the contract they had signed at the crucial moment.
Strange creatures were strange creatures, and humans were humans. The two could not be compared at all.
Being able to communicate did not mean that a strange creature could truly understand humans.
Thinking about it, it was very likely that the blood-red princess was a powerful mage who was about to be corroded by a strange creature.
But now, it seemed that after being dragged into the Domain, she basically had no hope of remaining human.
But her crazy actions just now made Flanders vaguely think of a possibility.
Could it be... that he had something that could help her get out of trouble?
Was that why she was so crazy?
Flanders thought about it for a while, then put all these things behind him and did not think about it anymore.
There was too little information, so he could not think of anything useful no matter how hard he thought about it.
Moreover, these things were not related to him, so he had no reason to pay attention to them.
So what if he got the answer? What good would it do him?
The answer was obvious, but no.
Besides wasting time, he had nothing else to gain.
After saying goodbye to the other party, Flanders did not know when he would come to this Domain again.
Crossing a Domain was easy for the death bus, but it was not easy for Flanders.
Therefore, even if he wanted to return in the future and even include this amus.e.m.e.nt park Domain in his Domain, it would probably be a long time before that day would come.
Rather than thinking about what he had that could make the other party get out of that awkward situation, he might as well think about the ball of silk that the other party had left behind.
Flanders looked at the red silk that the b.l.o.o.d.y princess had left behind. He did not think too long before he put it into his Domain.
It was the same situation. There were too few clues. Even if it was useful, he did not know how to use it.
It was like giving a child a computer. A child would not know how to use it unless he had learned it before.
However, as long as the computer was not broken, the child would always be interested in exploring it. As time pa.s.sed and the child grew up, he would naturally be able to use the computer skillfully.
After doing all this, the journey to the amus.e.m.e.nt park came to an end. Flanders looked out of the window. The death bus that had left the amus.e.m.e.nt park had once again returned to the road that was empty on both sides.
However, all the other pa.s.sengers involved had already died.
Even Edward, who had lived for five or six days, was no exception.
It seemed that because of the last shrill scream of the b.l.o.o.d.y princess, a large number of red lines gushed out of Edward"s eyes, nostrils, ears, and mouth.
As these lines gushed out, Edward had already turned from a fake corpse into a real corpse...
That amus.e.m.e.nt park was really too brutal for weak people.
All the pa.s.sengers were wiped out.
Except for Flanders.
Flanders did not care about these unlucky pa.s.sengers. They lived in a strange creature"s world, and dying early might be a relief for them.
He deactivated his Devil Conquerer form and stood silently in the middle of the death bus, waiting for the bus to arrive at the next stop.
Perhaps it was because Flanders had displayed his power before, or perhaps it was because he had consumed too much energy in the amus.e.m.e.nt park. In short, Flanders was just standing there, and the death bus did not attack him again.
