As the words fell, everyone felt a chill rising from behind.
Rod, standing nearby, was even more startled.
If one could change a person like this, then where did the original self go?
More importantly, would I, at some point, also undergo such a change and no longer be myself?
Everyone had similar associations, and unconsciously, they all moved a little away from Mephit, creating a circle of space around her, making Rod in the corner stand out.
Mephit's gaze rested on him for just a moment, and like a dragonfly skimming the water, she withdrew it without anyone noticing.
"I interfered with his spirit, helping his main consciousness regain control of his body."
The surroundings fell silent, and Jelaba was quiet for a moment before asking, "Why can you control him so easily?"
"His spirit was in internal conflict and offered no resistance. The other part of his consciousness was no match for me. It had exhausted its energy in its violent attempts to control the body."
