"Obey..." Shin muttered through clenched teeth, blood trickling down his lip as he glared up at Britt. His voice was low and guttural like the last breath of something dying, or the first breath of something terrifyingly alive.
[Slave Leash Activating…]
[Target: Britt — Bound.]
[Subject will not move or act unless ordered by the Host.]
The system notification flickered across Shin's vision.
Britt's fingers were just a breath away from the hilt of the fallen sword when they froze mid-air, the invisible chains locking her in place.
"W-Wait… I can't—!!" she shrieked, her voice cracking into a growl. "You hacked me again, you psychotic freak!!"
"Holy shit…" Sam stumbled back with wide eyes, nearly tripping over his own boots. "I'm not getting hacked next!"
Bob clenched his fists, though by now, he was just weak with low MP. "Get your hands off—"
Shin didn't even look at him. His gaze was fixated on Britt. His smile widened into something far too stretched to be sane.
