Chapter 76 - Put in SuChapter A Difficult Situation
Suo Fei was utterly stunned. He didn’t know what had happened. Why did I attack Samael?Why can’t I control my body?
The feeling of helplessness as he watched his body move on its own made him panic. His own hand, with the dagger that he commonly used, pierced the chest of Samael, the person he loved and trusted the most.
No!This can’t be!
Seeing that Samael’s clothes were stained red with blood, Suo Fei’s eyes ached at the sight. He couldn’t control his body, but he could clearly feel his heart aching as if the sword had pierced his own heart instead.
No!No matter what had happened, it shouldn’t be this way!
He wanted to take control of his body, he wanted to resist! This thought emerged abruptly and Suo Fei unyieldingly began resisting the strange force. He focused on taking control and felt that he was competing with a stranger, crazily competing for control of this body.
At this time, although Suo Fei still couldn’t comprehend it fully, he vaguely understood that he had fallen into someone’s trap and was being controlled by someone who had a high mental strength.
Such a thing was completely strange to Suo Fei. He had never encountered it before but it was not unheard of. It was a puppeteer, a hidden cla.s.s in Yalance. There was actually a puppeteer here.
Suo Fei felt chills straight to his core and he didn’t dare think too much about it. He knew that he must be strong-minded this time. He must not show the slightest weakness otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to resist the person intruding his body.
Suo Fei didn’t dare to look at Samael. He didn’t dare to look at him straight in the eyes. He was afraid to look at Samael’s expression. No matter what his expression was, it would be enough to make him fall apart in an instant. He believed in Samael and he knew that Samael believed in him. However, it was because of this trust that he became increasingly afraid.
How would Samael understand his situation? If the situation was calm or if he was a bystander, Samael might be able to accurately determine that he was being controlled. However, Suo Fei didn’t have confidence even though it was Samael. At this moment, in this kind of situation, could Samael still make a calm judgment?
He was afraid, afraid that he’d see even a tiny bit of disappointment in Samael’s eyes. Such an emotion would distract him and make him unable to continue taking control of his body. Thus, he dared not look at Samael.
But in fact, his mind was already weak just by having these thoughts. The opponent he was resisting was astute and instantly felt Suo Fei’s fear. The one in control of the body was still not Suo Fei but because of Suo Fei’s resolve, the body had stiffened.
Nevertheless, the man was still able to control it. Suo Fei was forced to raise his head and look at Samael. He nearly wanted to scream out due to the fear in his heart. But he couldn’t stop it. A flood of emotions acc.u.mulated deep inside him and he didn’t have any way to vent it out. He could only remain suffocated, making it all the more unbearable.
He looked at Samael with his heart filled with fear. As he looked straight into those beautiful purple eyes, he finally saw Samael clearly and the fear and worry in his heart vanished.
Samael was looking at him without a trace of doubt in his purple eyes. Instead, it was gentler than usual. He saw Suo Fei looking at him and he lightly opened his lips and said, “Don’t be afraid. Hang in there.”
At this moment, if Suo Fei had control of his body, he would have definitely cried out loudly. Samael knew. Even in this situation, Samael still knew. He knew that he would never hurt him. That he was being controlled. Blood kept pouring out of his chest, but even so, Samael still cared about him, encouraged him and believed in him!
All of his fear vanished like smoke in thin air. He had received the most powerful support. Samael believed in him and he believed in himself. He definitely could do it, he could regain control of his own body!
His strong willpower came back after a defeat and actually allowed him to seize control of the body. Pulling out the dagger and speedily healing Samael were matters of vital importance.
However, the moment he pulled out the dagger, the scene that was playing in front of him made him absent-minded.
Those ‘Suo Fei’s attacked Samael together. When faced with such attacks from all directions at such a close distance, Samael didn’t have enough time to dodge, but… he could strike back!
These ‘Suo Fei’s could die instantly with just a wave of his hand. Moreover, with Samael’s ability, he could still dodge all of the attacks.
But… Samael didn’t strike back. He didn’t even move. He rigidly withstood all the attacks.
At this time, Suo Fei realised that perhaps Samael wasn’t able to ascertain which was the real him. Such a top-level puppet technique could completely copy him and make clones of him. Because his consciousness had been occupied, the manners and behaviours of those puppets were exactly like him.
It was simply impossible to distinguish which was the real Suo Fei. It was like a mirror’s reflection… Apart from him, no one else could tell.
However, he couldn’t speak. He couldn’t tell Samael.
Suo Fei was exceedingly distressed because of Samael’s behaviour. The puppeteer gained the upper hand because of his momentary inattentiveness and Suo Fei lost the initiative that he had gained. He was unable to heal Samael…
Suo Fei tried his best to gain back the initiative, but the wretched puppeteer had already grasped his weakness. Those Suo Fei puppets’ attacks weren’t strong, but they took turns to attack Samael ceaselessly. Suo Fei himself had already joined the group of puppets long ago. He managed to stop himself from attacking, but his eyes were firmly nailed on that spot. He couldn’t control his body to look away.
He could only look on helplessly, look on as Samael became riddled with bruises, look on as Samael motionlessly withstood the attacks despite clearly being able to fight back effortlessly and look on as this powerful and prideful man was put in such a difficult situation just because of him.
How could he still be able to focus while watching this scene?
No!This can’t go on!
Suo Fei kept telling himself, Why is this happening to Samael?It’s because of my incompetence! Because of my incompetence, I got controlled. I got threatened!I still let my defenses down despite the situation!
If this continued, Samael would have withstood more attacks. How could I let this happen?!All of my reasons are just excuses. Compared to Samael, I’m nothing but sc.u.m.How could I be worthy of Samael?!
No!I must be strong. I must let my mind focus. As long as I could gain control of this body, as long as I could defeat this wretched puppeteer, I would be able to save Samael.
This is my own battle, so only I could fight it.
I can’t be dependent on Samael. I must save Samael. I can do this!
These thoughts ran through his head in circles and Suo Fei pulled himself together once more. Then, he began resisting the puppeteer stronger than before.
Sal had never been in such a miserable state. He had never found himself in this kind of challenging situation.
Summer was his medium, the most outstanding puppet in the entire Yalance, a puppet that solely belonged to him.
However, he had never tried occupying two people at the same time.
Hull was a green dragon who had lived for thousands of years. If Hull had not trusted Sal, had not been severely injured, had not lost a large amount of his mental strength after being trapped in the bottomless abyss, Sal would not have been able to control Hull’s consciousness so easily.
However, even though Sal occupied Hull’s body, Hull had always been resisting. Nevertheless, Sal was confident that as long as Summer existed, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to slowly gobble up Hull’s consciousness little by little. Although it needed some time, it could be done.
In the end, he truly succeeded. He occupied Hull’s consciousness and found out how to awaken Launay.
His joy made him somewhat complacent and his behaviour became heedless which was unlike him.
He never had high regard for Suo Fei, this weak elf. He believed that the elf would not be able to survive if he wasn’t relying on Samael. This elf had just been after Launay’s, hoping to receive his protection. Such a weak creature must have an extremely weak mental strength.
Thus, he had no doubt that it would work on Suo Fei. He was still a.s.sured that he could control two people at the same time.
In the beginning, it was exactly like what he had thought. The foolish elf had been occupied by him so effortlessly and he successfully commanded the elf to betray Samael.
What could be more ruthless than such a fatal attack?
Sal was extremely pleased with himself. He could practically imagine the look of despair on Samael’s face. Then, he would awaken and become that grim, strong, and unfeeling Dragon G.o.d.
But… what happened was beyond his expectation. Samael didn’t awaken. His expression had remained unchanged. What went wrong?
Could it be that Samael wasn’t genuinely in love with that elf? No, that couldn’t be. Sal had the utmost belief in Hull. Hull knew Samael extremely well so what he had said must be the truth. So why exactly did it not work?
Could it be that… Samael had actually seen through his scheme?He actually knew that Suo Fei was being controlled?How could that be?How could he not have any doubts in this kind of situation?How could he believe that despicable elf so much?
The anger in Sal’s heart burst into a blaze.
In addition, at this moment, he actually sensed that d.a.m.ned elf resisting with all his might. That cowardly and despicable thing actually wanted to fight over control over his body!
He couldn’t let him succeed. He immediately commanded Summer to transfer the mental strength that was suppressing Hull to Suo Fei. He wanted to completely occupy the d.a.m.ned elf. Even if it completely destroyed his mind and turned him into an idiot!
Suddenly, Suo Fei felt even greater pressure, so much so that he even experienced a heavy tearing force and a severe headache.
This time, however, he didn’t retreat. He had been watching Samael all this while. The scene initially made him afraid, terrified and distracted, but when he saw Samael enduring until he was covered with cuts and bruises, his motivation to fight had been bolstered.
He was the only that could save Samael. He had to be strong to be worthy of Samael’s feelings for him!
With this conviction, Suo Fei’s mental strength reached its peak.
Sal had no choice but to transfer the mental strength he was using to suppress Hull to contend against Suo Fei. He ruthlessly wanted to destroy Suo Fei completely, but he heard Summer’s ice-cold voice, “Master, because of the transferring of mental strength, I’m unable to suppress Hull any longer.”
Sal was slightly startled before he finally gnashed his teeth and said, “Give up on suppressing Hull. I want to completely ruin this elf.”
“Yes, Master.”
