Chapter 11 - Enslavement Seal

—-

Enslavement Seal

Used to take over the target's soul, turning them into a Slave. A Slave will follow every order of the User but will not benefit from the system.

If the target is willing, the seal will be used smoothly. If the target is unwilling, the User needs to have a cultivation three stages greater than the target to use the seal, except for special cases.

The conflict in willpower will commence.

The success of the enslavement depends on the target's level of willingness and the difference in willpower. In case of failure, there will be a corresponding backlash, such as breaking the User's soul or becoming the Slave.

Entering the room, they sat on the dining table and Janice looked at him with a 'Go on' face.

"Miss Janice, I encountered a problem at home and that's why I couldn't return herre for two months, please forgive me."

"Dude, if you don't go straight to the point, I'll kick you out." Janice looked at him with threatening eyes. Her one leg was lifted as she comfortably leaned her elbow on her knee, making her look like a thug.

Unfortunately for her, she is just at the fifth stage of the Body Tempering Realm. Instead of looking threatening, Jasper found her actions cute, but not in a flattering way.

"Are you not taking me seriously?"

Janice stood up and grabbed Jasper's collar when she noticed his belittling look.

Oops, I didn't mean to show such an expression.

"Wait, calm down, Miss Janice! Here, look at this. It's my family's heirloom. I don't know what it is yet, but I think it costs more than just two months worth of rent. However, as a non-cultivator, I may get scammed so I need your help."

Jasper immediately took out a black flat coin the size of his palm and placed it on the table. He did it in a submissive and fearful way that soothed the anger rising within Janice.

"Wow, trash. You're trash in and out. By family problems, did you mean you stole your family's heirloom for quick cash?"

Janice's tone didn't match her scolding words. It sounds like she's praising him.

Jasper internally smirked, wondering who's a trashier person between the two.

"Do you know what this is? How much it costs? I think it could cover a year's worth of rent, right? Including all the bills."

Meanwhile, Janice looked at the black coin and was mesmerized with it. She's already in college and have seen some cultivation treasures. Objects injected with energy formations array through certain cultivation techniques will manifest its own magical use.

Reinforced objects are rare and naturally cost a lot.

Feeling the mysterious energy behind it, Janice was sure. Not only would it cover a year's worth of rent, it might even be enough to buy this whole apartment building!

She's rich!

"This is good. It would be enough to cover 6 months of rent."

"Just 6 months?"

"I'm already being generous. I think it's just 5 months but since it's your family's heirloom, I willing to add one monthm" Janice looked into Jasper's eyes, "Do you doubt me?"

Jasper internally sighed. He decided to drop the act. It was never necessary in the first place.

"Yeah. I doubt you."

Janice was slightly taken aback by Jasper's sudden change of attitude.

"What was that, punk?"

Jasper ignored her.

"That object only has five copies in the whole world. It has a powerful effect on people. Do you want to know what it is?"

True. Even the Ancestor didn't have one, nor any of his hundreds of disciples. That is because the Ancestor had only unlocked two parts of the .

Based on the maxim, the clone said to him: < Stand above all. Become a Sovereign. Lead the masses. Teach the peerless. >

'Lead the masses' refers to having followers. 'Teach the peerless' refers to having disciples. Meanwhile, the maxim Jasper received is the following: 

< Stand above all. Become a Sovereign. Enslave the darkness. Lead the masses. Teach the peerless. Drink with the gods and marry all goddesses. Defy… >

With the last sentence being cut off.

Going through the manual of the system, Jasper figured out even without the book's guide that 'Enslave the darkness' is for slaves as the word suggests and 'Drink with the gods and marry all goddesses' is for kins.

Thus, it is safe to say that Jasper in the whole world of Earth is the only one who has the power given by the to enslave people. Furthermore, the book did state that Jasper has more authority than the Ancestor, so it wasn't a far-fetched idea.

Then, again, Jasper has a large ego, so maybe he thinks too much of himself and his possessions.

Either way, the Enslavement Seal is a precious item not seen on the market. It could fetch a huge price. Not that Jasper is intending to sell it in the first place.

While Janice was angry, she was more curious about the object. She'll beat this boy later, but right now, she's focused on the black coin.

"I thought you said you didn't know what this is?"

"Ah, I just remembered."

"..."

"Do you want to know? That's extremely precious."

"Then, tell me. What does this do?"

Janice was running out of patience. Jasper paused before answering.

"It's an enslavement seal."

"Enslavement… seal?" Janice's eyes shone. She hasn't heard of such an object. That's why she felt a deep doubt.

"Does this do what I think it does?"

"Yeah, it will make the target into the user's slave."

Janice then frowned, "How can such a profound item exist? If this is a lie, you'd better fess up right now or you'll meet a harsher fate!"

"It is not a lie. To demonstrate, I'll use it on you. How about it?"

A nerve popped out of Janice's forehead. What a bad joke!

"I'm running out of patience, brat. If you continue to play around..." She doesn't need to continue the threat.

On the other hand, Jasper was calm as still water.

"Janice, let's cut to the chase and make the process smooth. Do you want to become my slave?"

"I think you need to be taught how to behave!" Janice reached out to Jasper's collar again to smack him. But before she could, the [Enslavement Seal] activated.

Her mind was instantly invaded. The conflict of willpower commenced.

Janice blinked and was in a dark place. This was an unknown, yet, for some reason, she felt comfortable in this place. After all, this is the inside of her mind.

But at that moment, something trespassed. The black coin revealed itself from the shadows. Its size is a big as a mountain, or even bigger. Size is hard to determine in this space, as there is no reference except for oneself.

What Janice just knew was that she was fearful of it and extremely unwilling.

The black coin faintly glowed red, calling her to submit to it. Janice resisted and pushed it away using her mind.

That was when fingers with a size proportional to the black coin came out and wrapped themselves around the coin.

All of these were mental representations of Janice, and they show the difference in strength. No matter how unwilling she is, Janice could not be compared to the Ancestor.

Eyes glowed from the darkness and stared down onto her. The moment hers locked with the giant's eyes, she fell to her knees. All resistance has faded and the black coin's red glow smoothly enveloped her.

[Janice Estel has been enslaved]

[Slave count: 2]

The enslavement process was anticlimactic. The results were already determined the moment the Enslavement Seal was activated.

Back in the real world, Janice woke up to find herself on the floor. Her senses slowly returned to her. Her face became paler and paler as each second passed. Tremor invaded her body as disbelief and helplessness seeped in. Something invaded and planted itself within her. She felt like opening her insides and tearing them out, but knew that she couldn't.

Janice has yet to fully understand the situation, but she just felt like puking.

Glancing up, she saw the man who had just enslaved her sitting on one of the chairs with one leg crossed over the other. His chin leaned on his knuckles as if he were a king.

"What did you do?" 

But once their eyes met, she immediately looked away as goosebumps traveled her body. She remembered the giant eyes and she couldn't help but palpitate in fear.

"Tell me your name."

"Janice Estel…!" Janice was stunned. She didn't intend to answer, but her mouth moved on its own.

"Stand up."

She stood up.

"Walk around."

She walked around.

"Sit," Jasper amusedly pointed at the floor before him.

Janice sat there.

"No… no… what is my body doing? It's not listening to me a-at all!"

"Ahh… I finally have a slave…" Jasper's body tightened from excitement.

Then, from within his coat, a snake came out and spoke, "Master, I am your first slave."

Janice looked at the snake, and her eyes widened as if they were about to pop out. Did she hear it right? Where did this snake come from? Did it just talk?

"Yeah, technically, but I don't really see you as a slave. You're like a friend."

"..." Nyx was speechless for a second as that came out of left field. "Ah, Master… I haven't done anything special, Master. I am merely following your orders."

"I-i-it talked!" Janice wanted to jump away but the orders from her master was absolute so she sat still, "The snake talked!"

Only beasts at the Golden Core Realm have enough intelligence to communicate with humans. Janice's head spiraled down further. What is happening? This is a dream, right? How come this non-cultivator trash can order me around and have a beast at the Golden Core Realm with him?

"Hahaha… what a stupid dream…"

Ahhh, she went mad.
