Chapter 148: Getting a Slave

“Hey Freya, are you now ready to accept the contract?” Neil asked, he could sense that her energy was getting weaker.

So she didn’t really have any choice but to accept whatever he wanted.

“Yes,” she replied rigidly.

“Huh? Did you say something?” Neil asked, scratching his cheek.

Freya felt so angry, she would have destroyed an entire settlement but now a single person was making her feel so frustrated.

“…Yes, master.” Saying those words made her feel as if needles were pricking all over her body, she felt so uncomfortable.

She was a ruler and now she had become someone’s slave.

All because of those bastards, if they hadn’t locked her, she wouldn’t be so miserable.

“Good job, cute Freya.” Neil laughed, making her submit was also a nice feeling.

“Alright then let’s sign the contract.” Neil thought and closed his eyes as the contract appeared in his mind.

Freya still appeared as a mass of black smoke, she didn’t even have the energy to take the form of her body.

Both injected their essence into the contract and it glowed, as it appeared in both their soul spaces.

[You have become the master of a Phantom!]

A message flashed before Neil and it made him smile, it wasn’t bad to have such a slave.

“Now, give me the manual.” Neil ordered, the faster he could convert his essence the quicker he would be able to evolve.

And with the phantom’s manual, the transformation would certainly be even better and his strength would grow even further.

“Yes…” she muttered as a dark book appeared in his mind, it had such an eerie presence.

Like it was packing up a disaster.

“Hmm? It won’t harm me, right?” Neil questioned, if his own essence harmed it, there would be no going back.

“It won’t, I used it too and this is far better than anything the humans have ever seen. Once you start, you will notice it too.” Freya replied.

“How long did it take for you to complete the whole process? And can we only use one additional manual?” he continued with his questions.

“It took me around four months, even among the phantoms, this is extremely rare. And for the humans, this is just impossible.” Freya spoke proudly.

Before adding: “you can’t add a third manual, it will wreak havoc in your body.”

Neil nodded, this was still great. So reaching 4th Origin wouldn’t be too far now and the jump in his strength would be a lot higher.

“Um…” Freya cleared her throat, as if reminding him of something.

“Yeah yeah I know, but you will only get it once you ask properly.” Neil said, not making any moves.

Freya was going mad with rage, why was this person so annoying, she wanted to strangle him so badly.

Unfortunately, she was now completely at his mercy.

“M- Master, can you give them to me now?” Freya asked, forcing herself to say it.

“Sure.” Neil nodded as he took out thirty or so gene potions from his inventory, after killing so many creatures there, he didn’t lack them.

“Just this much?” they were all of the 2nd Origin creatures, so it wouldn’t be of much help.

“Yes, if you behave, I will give you more.” Neil knew perfectly well how to tame her slowly.

Freya could only agree, Neil didn’t even need to remove the caps of the vials as she pulled all the energy and absorbed it.

Finally, she felt a little better.

“By the way, cutie Freya, there is something I am still confused about.” Neil spoke, interrupting her blissful feeling.

“Huh? What?” she asked.

“I know that you had sealed Nemo’s memory, and done several things. But who exactly killed those humans then? And how did I appear in the recordings? There is no way you can control my body.”

Those several deaths before he had left the settlement were all real and set up by her.

She wanted to break Neil, using the guilt to drill a hole into his heart, thankfully Neil had his family around, especially Ileana.

“You saw what I wanted you to see, as for those deaths, I just took control of others around them.” She replied, she didn’t really feel bad about those deaths.

She had killed way more people before.

“I see, sigh.” Neil then focused his attention on the new manual he had obtained, he wanted to start training immediately but paused.

“Nemo, I have been receiving too many messages, what’s going on?” he asked, Neil wasn’t aware that his clip had gone so viral.

Although Cynthia also knew it but with her power it wouldn’t be hard to know such things.

“Master, the clip of you defeating that Shen guy went viral.” Nemo answered.

“Oh…” he frowned, will this bring more trouble?

“Check if there are any important messages among them.” He said, shaking his head.

For now, he just wanted to have a few peaceful days, enjoy his days with Ileana and his teacher.

And also tame Freya.

“Yeah, several of the messages are from important figures. There are several wardens, and one even from ECO.” She spoke.

“…What about Jane? Did she send any message?” after slight hesitation he asked.

“No, none since you two broke up.” Nemo said in a heavy tone.

“…” Neil sighed, despite feeling terrible at that time for some reason he hoped she would send him messages.

Maybe try to explain the stuff, so was it truly her who made them break up?

Should he try to meet her? Neil wanted to meet but also didn’t want to, what if seeing her again only brings more pain?

And now he already has Ileana and Cynthia, was there any place for her still in his life?

“Maybe it is her family stopping the messages too or someone else?” he wondered.

This was too frustrating, her name once brought a smile to his face but now it only brought heartache.

“Whatever, I am sure we will end up meeting sooner or later, things will clear up then. Anyway, Nemo did you find any 2nd order diamond class domains?” he asked.

“Yes master, I did. Though most are located far away, so I suggest attacking one of the enemy races.” Nemo said.

“And how do I travel there?” Neil asked, there is no way he would be dragging his domain all over the place.

“You only need to bring a part of your army to attack the domains, and you can teleport to the boundary easily, but for that you need to go to some settlement.”

Nemo said, sighing.

After thinking for a few moments he spoke: “Check those messages, see if anything is useful, also what did ECO say?”

Nemo went through the thousands of messages quickly, then discarded all the useless ones.

Finally she spoke: “There are messages from Arnold, even Shen, a few other wardens who want you to go to their settlements. Only Shen sent a message full of threats.”

Neil had left a very strong poison in his body, so there was a high chance he might die soon on his own.

“Apparently, he has some connections in the ECO. Anyway, the message from ECO mentioned that the matter with Arnold has been resolved, he was punished with one month of imprisonment and a heavy fine, you will be receiving the compensation soon.

And they have sent an invitation to you, master.”

“What invitation?” Neil was just about to ask but then the bell placed near the door started to ring.
