Supreme Magus novel Chapter 311

"Did someone enslave you in the past?" Phloria felt her heart tighten at the idea.

"No, but every constable has to train against such devices to let their colleagues know about their predicament at their first meeting. Enough talking, listen to my words and do it carefully." Jirni grabbed Phloria’s shoulders looking her in the eyes.

"Once we are out there, attack to kill. At this point, it’s too late to save any of them."

"Aren’t they victims? Just like her?" Phloria was having a hard time adapting at the circumstances.

"No, dear. They were ready to enslave people. They are as bad as Nalear is." Jirni shook her head.

"Also, if you show any mercy, they will not return you the favor. You heard her command, they’ll kill us even if it costs them their lives. You have no idea what wearing one of those things feels like.

"You became a stranger in your own body, forced to do whatever the owner of the master ring wants. Most victims of a slave item commit suicide within a year from their rescue. It’s like being r*ped in the mind and the body, every single moment."

Phloria unsheathed her estoc, taking a deep breath while thinking about her family and Lith. She hoped they would give her the strength to do what had to be done.

The mayhem taking place in the corridors soon turned the academy into a warzone. No one could be trusted, fear and paranoia made even the non mind controlled students attack anyone on sight.

There were more spells flying in the air than rice at a wedding ceremony. Solus didn’t stop to watch at all the acts of violence, yet every one of the crimes she witnessed reinforced her hatred.

Stopping Nalear wasn’t enough, Solus wanted to kill her.

Solus was getting more desperate by the second. She hadn’t much mana left and still couldn’t find any trace of Lith. Soon, she would be forced to trade her own memories to obtain the power she needed to keep moving.

’How can I sacrifice even one of them?’ She inwardly cried.

’What if I choose the wrong one and become another person? What if I forget the reason why I’m even moving? By my maker, where the heck is he?’

She could still bond to another person, but it would mean losing him forever and giving someone access to all their secrets and most private moments. Solus would rather die than betray their bond.

When it happened, she couldn’t believe her own fourteen senses. Solus could finally pick up an aura that she would recognize among thousands. Lith was just a few hundred meters in front of her.

She let go of the ceiling while casting their personal flight spell, soaring through the air like a small meteor. Solus felt so happy, so relieved to forget about everything else. Her other half was so close she could almost feel his touch again.

Alas, that cost her everything.

"Where do you think you are going, little one?" Nalear’s cruel voice shattered Solus’s hopes. Her spirit magic stopped Solus in mid air, pulling her toward the Professor’s open palm.

"Who would have thought I would find you while looking for that damn constable? Heavens sure are on my side today." Even if she had been at her peak condition, Solus wouldn’t have the strength to escape her pull.

She offered no resistance, letting herself be reeled in like an exhausted fish.
