Chapter 641: 641
Unfortunately for Fariya, her seductive words didn"t work on Arthur, who tightened the threads around the succubus" neck, making her cough and gasp for breath . Only after half a minute did he loosen the unbreakable threads, leaving the woman red-faced and barely able to remain conscious .
"J—jeez… why are you so violent?"
Even after all of that, Fariya maintained her non-aggressive att.i.tude as her eyes seemed to s.h.i.+ne when looking at the goblin, or more precisely, the parasite hiding within .
"Stop acting like that . You can fool everyone but me, after all, you"re just a virgin . "
Once she heard the last word, the succubus twitched and her pupils contracted, but only momentarily as she regained her cool faster than ever . A charming smile was plastered on Fariya"s peerless face, her pink tongue ran over her rosy lips before she spoke again:
"I never meant to fool you… I actually need and want your help . "
"…"
Arthur didn"t speak and only watched at her with a piercing gaze . His silence allowed the succubus to explain her words more properly and state the reason of her non hostility toward a total stranger .
"You may have noticed that a succubus working for Heaven is not a common thing . " She sat up into a more comfortable position while stretching her slender white legs and calibrating her breathing .
"I"m not guarding this h.e.l.lhole because I want to, it"s merely to pay a debt… a debt that"s already been paid . "
Her countenance turned a little serious as she mumbled a few incoherent curses before continuing: "I was supposed to guard the second level for forty years but double that amount pa.s.sed yet they still wouldn"t let me go . " She let out a long helpless sigh while unconsciously clenching her bound hand: "I only requested to leave once but the d.a.m.ned warden shamelessly refused . Knowing his sick personality, I just remained here, waiting for an opportunity . "
Her eyes locked onto Arthur, who said back: "And why are you telling me all of this? Did you think you"ll gain my trust with this?"
"Not at all . You came here for a reason and, undoubtedly, you"ll leave soon . Just… when you"re planning your prison break, take me along . I can be of great help, I even know everything about this place . "
She pursued her lips while smiling again: "Actually, I was going to rely on the prisoners of the last floor but it"s too risky as they"re wildly uncontrollable . "
"I"m not helping you . "
Arthur rejected her almost immediately, causing Fariya to pout and sulk .
"Don"t be so fast to reject . It doesn"t take a genius to know that you"re a parasite, though a bit special than the rest . You can use Buo"s telekinesis so you can also use his Slavery Magic . I"m willing to become your slave until we leave, that way, I won"t betray you or lie to you . "
Hearing this, Arthur was genuinely surprised as becoming a slave isn"t as simple as on Astria . Buo Buo"s slavery magic is strict and if the slave even thinks of betrayal, the master will immediately know . Moreover, it"s permanent unless the master removes it personally so by becoming his slave, it"ll doom her fate .
"To think she"s willing to become my slave just to leave . "
"Master, she"s really an intelligent woman . She"s fully aware that becoming your slave is much better than staying here, even if you go back on your word and keep her as a slave forever . "
"Do you think she"s worth the trouble?"
"Definitely . There"s literally nothing to lose if she becomes your slave… well, Madam Lucy must not catch wind of this though . "
Arthur marched toward the bound succubus as his appearance returned to the original one, a tall middle-aged male human with grey and dark hair . His eye was pulsating with a blue light as it landed on the devilish figure of the succubus, who didn"t hide her s.e.xy curves or her soft and snow-white skin .
"You"re willing to sell yourself just to leave?"
Fariya scoffed and retorted: "Sell myself? I"d do much worse just to get out . Once they don"t need me anymore, the things they"ll do to a Demon is far worse than you think . Becoming your slave isn"t a bad outcome, in my point of view . "
She crawled closer to the motionless Arthur standing straight and right next to the bed . "So this is what you look like . Mmmh, I must say that my decision couldn"t be more perfect . "
She winked at him but he didn"t react at all and instead, raised his hand and made a small pulling motion with his index, causing Fariya to start groaning from the abrupt and agonizing pain . She felt an ominous energy lurking inside of her body and severely weakening her .
"Don"t forget that, in addition to the slave mark you"re going to get, this is still inside of you and it"s more potent than Buo"s slavery magic . "
Although still in pain, Fariya giggled and said back: "Yes… you can be inside of me as much as you want . "
Arthur coldly snorted and put his hand above her head before a grey floating rune emanated from his palm and slowly entered the succubus" head . It didn"t cause her any pain but she could feel a heavy feeling in her consciousness and around her heart and brain . This uncomfortable feeling lasted only for a short few seconds a cool and refres.h.i.+ng feeling surged inside of the woman .
As she became his slave, she was automatically granted the system, and her stats dramatically increase, to the point that Fariya remained shocked for half a minute .
Arthur got most of his power thanks to his sky-high stats, which defies logic . Any person"s stats shouldn"t surpa.s.s the one billion mark, what makes them strong are their mastered techniques, powerful skills, pure and unique energy essence, or G.o.dly artifacts . In Arthur"s case, he could content again Exalted G.o.ds because his stats are so absurdly high that his body is able to demonstrate strength unlike any other .
Now that Fariya became his slave, she gained 5% of his stats, which is still a staggering amount .
After all that happened inside the tower and the several power-ups and possessions he did, the lowest main stats of Arthur was around 14Billion points and 5% of that is 700 million . For the succubus, it"s like her body became twice or thrice faster, stronger, and more resistant . It"s definitely a huge power-up which now allows her to fight 3rd stage Exalted G.o.ds, possibly even those at the Transcendent Stage .
"Arthur MoonStar? I can"t say I"ve ever heard of such a name . "
Feeling the restraints binding her body vanished, Fariya stretched her limbs and properly sat up . She was looking at the blue notifications windows floating in front of her eyes . It"s the first time she"s ever used the System so she was excited and curious .
Even without needing to check her stats, she easily could tell that she was stronger, making her happy . She abruptly stood up and was about to hug her new master only for her body freeze mid-air as an unstoppable telekinetic force was surrounding Arthur .
"Don"t get close to me or touch me . That is my first order . "
Reluctance showed on the succubus" face but she still replied: "Yes, master . "
After a brief silence, the woman let out a gasp as she sensed something else connected to Arthur .
"M-master… what"s that?"
She pointed at his chest but her words were obviously about the quad-spirit dormant inside Arthur"s consciousness .
"A spirit . "
He gave a non-satisfactory short reply . However, before Fariya could talk again, a deep voice that seemed to belong to an old man echoed in her head:
"Succubus Fariya, welcome to the team . "
This only deepened her shock as she covered her mouth and creased her brows . She feeling four kinds of energies emanating from the spirit, making her questions this reality .
"As you can see, I am a quad-spirit and a loyal follower of my master . I hope we do get along . "
The only thing Fariya did was slowly nod her head before mumbling something to herself . Her seductive pose and manner of speech were completely gone as she was discovering one absurd thing after the other since she became a slave in such a short notice . Even the tinge of regret she was supposed to feel was non-existent as the power-up and the thought of finally leaving this place relieved her turbulent mind .

"f.u.c.k f.u.c.k did you feel that?!"
Midolf turned his stiff neck to the quiet Radolf and loudly spoke, causing his words to reverberated across the gloomy and partially empty floor .
"Pipe down . "
Sadly, the white-haired youngster, who was actually a mythical roc, was surprised by what he felt .
"Master is close! I can also feel another ent.i.ty linked to him!"
He closed his eyes and concentrated for a few seconds before speaking with an ever louder tone: "My sweet f.u.c.king feathers! It"s a d.a.m.n succubus! We"re f.u.c.king doomed!"
He nudged Radolf repeatedly, sounding kind distressed .
"Madam Lucy will pluck both of your heads and… and she"ll feed me to the sharks!"
Facing the hysterical roc, Radolf shook his head and sighed .
"I doubt master will do anything that will betray the madam"s love . He must have enslaved the succubus for a reason… different than the one in your mind . "
"What different! Why would you enslave a f.u.c.king succubus? To have her clean the d.a.m.n house?! Forget it! I"m not leaving the prison . I"m staying here! I"m-"
His voice cut off by a feminine snort which made Midolf seal his lips and close his eyes .
"Will it kill you to speak more quietly? A lady is trying to sleep . "
Midolf didn"t say anything as he pretended to be asleep while Radolf ever-so-slightly bowed his shackled head and apologetically said:
"Empress, please forgive his rude behavior . It won"t happen again . "
…
A while later, the bound Parasite Empress raised her head, staring at the dark ceiling while thinking of something .
"You can"t be favoring a mere succubus over me… right?"
