Chapter 68: Dominance

The Vampire Lord disappeared and his proxy announced it was now time to dismiss them. Instructors flew towards their race and led them to their destination.

Myles followed the seniors, who were led by their Blood Knight instructor. Myles didn’t have a chance to assess him as he was completely distracted by the voice in his head.

He asked, “First things first, can you show me the current second effects of the Ancient Demon of Gluttony?”

[Understood.]

[Effect 1: You can conquer a demon and enslave them through two types of methods based on sexes. Against men, you must break down their sheer will and submit to your dominance, while against women, you must force them to submit through copulation. The moment each type of method occurs, the Ancient Demon of Gluttony will automatically activate, enslaving them without hesitation. Furthermore, do note that each of the methods could work either of the sexes—as long as you force them to submit and acknowledge your domination and be willing to be consumed by you.

When Myles read the last sentence, he almost spat out his saliva.

Suddenly, he found it amusing how his train of thoughts was swayed by repulsive ideas. In the end, he understood what the voice in his head was trying to say. He could enslave women, who were hard-headed and would rather settle the conflict through duel.

As Myles ruminated about the second effects, he asked the voice in his head, “Won’t it make more sense to just add this effect rather than changing and removing the previous second effects?”

[It does make a lot of sense, but the Ancient Demon of Gluttony did not prefer the second effect anymore. Furthermore, it will be difficult for you to activate the second effect in the future due to its complexity. Conquering a succubus and gaining their existential traits is out of sheer luck, just finding the exact existential traits of other races and conquering them through that way will be extremely difficult.

In addition, the Ancient Demon of Gluttony did not prefer for you to keep changing your appearance. Gaining affinity and skills by consuming their core are still the most effective and direct way.

Lastly, to make more sense for you, the Ancient Demon of Gluttony discussed with me how to revise the second effects to ease your way in building your Empire at the cost of the Energy Absorption skills.

Don’t forget to feed the Ancient Demon of Gluttony with the demonic core of other demon nobles and you will gain skills and affinity with specific laws.]

Myles frowned. “Do I have to consume demonic cores just to gain the skills and affinity? Won’t it be a waste to cripple my followers? Are there any effects you and he can come up with without wasting my followers?”

The voice in his head was silent for a while before saying, [The Ancient Demon of Gluttony wants to pass his message to you, do you want to read it?]

Myles frowned. He asked, “What is it?”

[“FUCK YOU!”]

Myles was taken aback. Furthermore, the two words covered his whole vision alone, causing him to have mixed feelings on his reaction.

He sighed. He pondered for a while before asking, “What does he want, really?”

The voice in his head was silent for a while before saying, [Consume. Everything.]

Myles was surprised. Soon, his expression turned grave.

He did not like what the voice in his head had said.

Not a bit.

…

Surprisingly, the Blood Knight instructor led them to their dormitory. They gathered in a circle once again, as the Blood Knight instructor introduced himself.

“I am Commander of the Blood Knights of Lady of Scarlet Bonds and Murmured Promises. I’m your current instructor. At the moment, the Blood Knight of Guardian of Scarlet Bond is on a mission which might take years to complete or progress at all. That’s why I’m here. Don’t worry, I’m a graduate, too.”

The second knight cadet asked, “Why not the Commander of Lady of Chains and Whisphered Vows?”

The Commander was stunned. He chuckled, “You need the best, huh? Well, I also don’t know about that. The Royal Academy formally asked the Lady of Scarlet Bonds and Murmured Promises for me to be your instructor. Maybe, it’s because the Lady of Scarlet Bonds and Murmured Promises and the Guardian of Scarlet Bond are twin sisters.”

“Twins?” The second knight cadet couldn’t restrain himself from uttering.

Myles was also surprised. He was now curious about the Lady of Scarlet Bonds and Murmured Promises’ personality.

Will she be the opposite of the talkative Guardian of Scarlet Bond?

The Commander said, “Yes. Going back to the main topic, I presumed the Knight Captain has already stated all the main courses of the knight department, right? It’s that much simple. If you don’t have any questions, then we will take a rest for now. We will be early tomorrow.”

The knight cadets glanced at each other and did not say anything. Eventually, they glanced at Myles, who seemed to be in deep thought, as they did not disturbed him, letting the Commander signal for the rest.

Myles followed and rested in his bed, which was usually isolated from others.

As soon as he arrived on the bed, he was about to take out his mantle when the shadow on his domain suddenly informed him someone was stalking him at the corner of the top of the wall.

Myles frowned. The cornice seemed to be normal at first glance and yet the shadow around it was telling him a knight race was camouflaging to observe him.

He calmly swept his gaze around it, acting as if he did not sense a thing—he really did not, except his shadow was informing him.

He communicated with his shadow and discovered it was not only him it was scouting, the entire room was being observed by the knight race.

He remained standing and fell into deep thought, wanting to recognize which knight race he belonged to, but, in the end, his eyes turned sharp.

He glanced at him coldly as the shadow around the knight suddenly restrained his movements, appalling him.
