Sacrifice: Time of Mine

Chapter 138: The Conqueress Newfound Treasure

"So what will you do with me now? Enslave me or capture me?" Avion asked as if he was not the one he was talking about.

"You're rather calm about this." Darea felt something was amiss which Avion replied-

"Being a servant is multiple times better than entering that death loop, right? And being a servant to the great Conqueress will give me a high status." 

"I guess you're right..."

But in the next moment, a heavy pressure enshrouded everyone in the area.

"Ugh!" the innocent servants peeking from inside the mansion only lasted for a few breaths before they collapsed. 

Jamina, however, was still tightly clutch as if she was not hearing anything from the outside world. Adrenaline was rushing inside of her and the pressure made her felt that death was coming. She bit her lips in fear.

Meanwhile, even Master Numui and Lady Shamira trembled in fear.

This is the intimidation of a Ruler!

If Guild Master Gon were to be in front of this intimidation, he would be like a little child. This level of intimidation reached the point of physical, not only psychological!

Avion frowned in pain. Not because of the intimidation but because Jamina's clutch was getting tighter.

"Don't be afraid. It's fine now, it's fine now." he immediately comforted her, not feeling that there is an invisible pressure, "No one's going to die..."

His words pierced through her own world and made her relax, finally making her unconscious.

All of this happened simultaneously and Darea continued her words just then, "But I do have to be careful with your acting skills. You have fooled me once. If I let you fool me again, it is my biggest failure."

"To this, we will make an oath. If you make a lie or hide anything from me, you will immediately die."

Without hesitation, a grand book came out of Darea's body and it immediately turned tangible at the next moment.

The wind began to howl just from the pure energy she was casually releasing.

Master Numui and Lady Shamira wanted to leave and run but they didn't dare. This colossal power was enough to make them tremble after the intimidation ended.

"This is the Rank Es Oath Elesp: Inescapable Fate. Not even I have the power to escape it once I agreed." Darea proudly smiled as a bright glow shone from the tangible grand book in front of her.

Avion's face turned dark, however, currently, he has no power to resist, "Fine, state everything you want me to promise."

Darea's fingers tapped her lips in ponder, "Let's see... I'll put my original intention first. Promise to the book what I said to you earlier."

Without hesitation, Avion said, "I promise not to lie or hide anything to the Conqueress."

Chains came out of the book and encircled Avion while passing through Jamina's body.

"Good..." Darea lightly laughed, "Then promise that you will be the most loyal to me and prioritize me over everything else."

"...."

Earlier, Avion was unhesitant, but now, he was only silent.

"What are you waiting for? Remember, you have no choice. If you try to say anything else, I can just deny it and the elesp will break." Darea domineeringly said with killing intent emanating from her.

After a pause, Avion continued, "I promise that I will be loyal to the Conqueress. That I will never betray her and treat her as one of the most precious."

Chains once again came out of the light and entangled him.

"Twisting the words won't do anything. This is not an ordinary elesp, it is Inescapable Fate. It knows what you meant and it knows what I want. I am the dominant one here and you are my slave. Don't think you can find a loophole."

Although that's what Darea said, she was already fine with it since Avion had already said the key words "be loyal" and "never betray"

'But does he need to add the last part?' she was a little unsatisfied, thinking that it would be better if it was only "most precious" without "one of"

However, Darea didn't break the elesp but continued.

"Next, promise to the book that you will do whatever I order you to."

"I promise that I will do what the Conqueress orders... as long as I have the ability to accomplish it." Avion changed the promise.

"Oh... you're really not afraid of me just breaking the elesp and killing you right away?" Darea looked down towards Avion but the latter didn't reply.

"But that's fine. There may be times that you can't do what I ask you and it will be an unnecessary death... not that I care."

She wasn't afraid because Avion had already promised that he will be honest. Meaning, if he lied that he can't do one thing, he will die.

If it was any other person, Darea would not put death as punishment. It would be too much of a waste if a loyal subordinate made an honest mistake and died on the spot. But since Avion will just go back in time, she knew that he will eventually be tamed after experiencing a few deaths.

The last chains coiled around Avion.

"I agree to the oath." Darea said to the book and the light vanished. It did not fail. If it failed, the translucent chains will break. Meaning, Avion was now a servant of the Conqueress.

"Now, I'd like you to try and defy the oath if you like to." she stepped forward and crouched down to meet Avion face to face.

"No need." Avion knew her intentions.

If he did what she said, he will die and learn that this oath is the real deal.

"Hm... hm... good boy." Darea caressed Avion's head as if he's a dog. She finally caught this Time Elementalist!

If compared to her other treasures, Avion would be in the top three if not the best!

Darea was greatly happy. With Avion by her side, she holds the unique tool that can make her invincible, making it easy to conquer the whole world. After that, she can also access Avion's knowledge which was beyond the world.

In this way, her conquest will never end!

How can she not be happy?
