Chapter 73: Law of Charm (High Affinity)

When the Guardian of Scarlet Bond arrived, she was surprised once again when she saw the status of Myles.

She smiled awkwardly.

She whispered, “Yeah, right. He really never ceases to surprise me.”

She didn’t think Myles would be among the Blood Knights, whose soul was lingered by the demonic energy of the Law of Charm.

She thought Myles would be exempted since he lasted longer than others.

It caused her to fall into deep contemplation.

It doesn’t make sense. Myles would definitely be exempted from this situation. What happened?

Myles was the last Blood Knight before the arena deactivated. Hence, the demonic energy of the Law of Charm should have not reached his soul.

Unless, the Law of Charm was slowly gathering while breaking Myles’ soul defense until Myles was engulfed in one whole, causing his soul to be affected.

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond frowned. She raised her hand and flicked her fingers. The noise spread through every soul of the Blood Knights and the Law of Charm was attracted to the origin of the noise as their demonic energy slithered towards her.

The Commander of the Blood Knights was mesmerized by the spectacle that the Guardian of Scarlet Bond showed.

He then perceived that the demonic energy of the Law of Charm lingering on the soul of the Blood Knights vanished.

They’ve finally returned to normal.

He sighed in relief. He turned towards the Guardian of Scarlet Bond and was about to bow when he paused after seeing her reaction.

She seemed to be completely shocked.

The Guardian of Scarlet Bond’s reaction was inevitable. After all, the amount of demonic energy she consumed just from the lingering demonic energy of the Law of Charm was enough for her demonic core to progress for a week.

She was stunned.

She turned towards the unconscious Myles and giggled.

She said to the Commander of the Blood Knights, “Call me every time this happens.”

Without waiting for the Commander to respond, she vanished and returned to her class.

The Commander of the Blood Knights was stunned. He did not expect the last order of the Guardian of the Scarlet Bond before she disappeared.

He mumbled in a daze.

Did she expect it would happen again and again?

As he was pondering, his eyes landed at the unconscious Myles and thought. Right. It’s this guy who triggered it. The Guardian of Scarlet Bond also knew him better than any other Blood Knights except her Blood Knight. I can’t take her words lightly.

The Commander then checked each of the Blood Knight’s conditions and deemed they would wake up fifteen minutes later.

He informed the other Commanders about it and they agreed to wait a bit more..

…

After the Blood Knights woke up, they were given a chance to rest for the whole afternoon and night. Some had chosen to train in an isolated manner, some were inquiring about what happened, while only Myles decided to return to his dormitory to contemplate.

After a while, his shadow detected the presence of another Veil Stalker and he enslaved them without hesitation.

He then learned that everyday, the Veil Stalker would change position to infiltrate and gather intelligence. They were given two months at most, until it was their Commander’s turn.

Myles saw it as an opportunity. However, he had to prepare himself first and must already be at the Greater Demon Rank 3 to enslave the Commander.

He glanced at the Veil Stalker in front of him and pondered.

He asked the voice in his head. “Aside from gaining a fragment in the Law of Charm, will my rank elevate from the arena’s demonic energy, too?”

[The Ancient Demon of Gluttony confirms your assumption to be true.]

Myles nodded, elated.

He stared at the Veil Stalker for a while and asked, “Won’t your master be alarmed that I have enslaved you?”

“No, they aren’t, Emperor.”

Myles nodded. He asked the voice in his head before about it and confirmed the Ancient Demon of Gluttony’s power was enough to prevent informing the actual masters of the demon he enslaved them.

Even against the Demon King.

However, Myles wouldn’t believe the second part—he was being cautious about it. Of course, the idea of enslaving the demon noble students, who were still not enslaved by the Demon King would be prioritized in being enslaved.

The fact that his enslaving powers had already evolved to a level he could enslave others as long as he was cautious enough compelled him to enslave the first Veil Stalker.

For the Commander to be enslaved, telling him my true demon name and forcing him to utter it is not an ideal move to enslave him. It has to be the second effect.

I have to ensure that no one is present in the room, except him before using every means to enslave him…

…

For the next two weeks, Myles had the same lifestyle in the academy, albeit, they were now sparring against Shadowbind Knight and Eidolon Sentinels.

In total, he gained another ten followers. At first, the Commanders felt strange about the behavior of their knights, who were defeated by Myles.

It was even more strange when they were defeated against a Blood Knight, who showed the least potential among others.

In the end, they only believed it was his pure skills that brought him to that point, but they also assumed it was Myles’ limit based on his potential.

Hence, they were confident their knights would surpass him one day.

However, it would be weird to surpass Myles when they were showing deep respect towards him.

They asked their knights what happened but they responded normally.

At the moment, Myles had just gained his tenth followers and returned to the Commander of the Blood Knights’ side.

He was praised by his victory but he did not even react, conveying he was already accustomed to their praise.

The Commander could only twitch his lips in annoyance.

Myles, on the other hand, was busy with the voice in his head, who had just announced that he gained a fragment of the Law of Charm.

[Congratulations, the Law of Charm mid-grade affinity levels up to high-grade affinity.

You can now learn demonic arts relating to the Law of Charm.]
