Chapter 118: Servants
"..M-a--as.."
"....."
After that incident, Eli straightly went to his \'dorm\' while Tiana went to her dorm saying her friend was waiting.
Scylla didn\'t speak much as she maintained her stoic face again.
When they entered the \'dorm\', they could hear groans. Scylla left for the kitchen saying she would make the dinner, however, Eli could see some reluctance, and she controlled herself from asking anything.
The Master-Servant pact could provide a connection between them and they could contact each other through mental messages in a certain range of distance as it depends on the Master\'s Cultivation Rank but Eli couldn\'t. Except he could call them whenever, but that\'s all.
Though he would receive their mental message, with some distance which depends on servant cultivation rank.
This villa was huge so a 20-foot cat was no problem and the other one was just a person so nothing much.
Eli then called his servants in the meantime and sat on the sofa in the living room. After 15 minutes they came...more like dragged their body.
Eli could see blood bleeding from the cat\'s legs and paws and the assassin\'s body trembling in pain as her body almost turned charcoal.
"So, How is it your punishment?" Eli asked nonchalantly.
Both only groaned in pain.
"Answer.me" Eli frowned.
"hu...I-I-it-urhh-goood...\'ha\' M-Master" The cat was the one who answered first even in pain.
"..." Eli nodded and looked at the assassin.
"...." Assassin still withering in pain despite her lips moving, there was no sound.
"..." There wasn\'t even an ounce of pity in Eli\'s eyes, \'I deal with her later then\' as Eli focused on the cat.
When Eli looked at the cat, it flinched as it slowly waited for his order.
"What you told in the dungeon...is it true?" That time no matter what, the cat story was more like a true than madeup.
"...Yes"
"I see...so you don\'t know who put you there?"
"Yezz-ha-"
"Your current appearance is totally different from before, why?" Eli questioned as he looked at its body again to see a crack but nothing.
"T-This...is-ha- my true...appearance...mast-er...I don\'-ha- know what happened before...but something-ha-mixed...in my soul crystal...." The cat tried to answer while trying to hide its pain.
"...." Eli wondered, \'So, someone powerful enough to manipulate the dungeon and mixed something in its soul crystal...ha...sigh\' Eli last in thought.
"..." The cat looked at Eli\'s wondering face and just prayed, \'Come on, man, please at least give me some time to rest....damn it, fuck\'.
Before leaving today, Eli asked Scylla to build large ice spikes that could hold around 12 hours in the garden and ordered the cat to walk on them until Eli\'s call.
That poor cat screamed in pain, as it still hated the water and ice spikes literally hell for it.
Thinking again, a shiver sends its spin.
"What is your name?" Eli suddenly asked.
"...." The cat turned silent.
"Answer.Me"
"...Ki-Kitty A-Anna" The cat said hesitantly.
"..." Eli was surprised for a second and then, "pffftt...hahahaaha..." Eli laughed hard as he remembered whenever Eli called it \'Cat\' but now it turns out to be true.
"...hiss.." The cat hissed in anger.
But it made Eli even more laugh. The cat turned annoyed as silently waited for Eli to finish his irritating laugh.
After a few minutes, Eli calmed down and wiped his happy tears.
"Ha..ha...well, Kitty" Eli called the cat.
"..." Even though Kitty Anna was annoyed, what else she could do she simply shallower her anger.
Seeing this Eli nodded his head and asked, "Anything Else?" with curiosity as he wanted to know more about the cat\'s previous world.
"I-I..that\'s all-ha-Mas..ter ple.." Kitty Anna pleaded with Eli to give her rest.
"..." Eli knew what she wanted to say and looked at the kitty\'s blooded leg and her haggard body.
"I left around 8.30 am and now the time is 5.15 pm so the spikes can still hold 3 more hours, I cannot waste my maid\'s hard work.....so, Run 3 More hours on the spikes then you can rest" Eli said firmly without a single ounce of mercy.
Kitty\'s slit blue eyes widened in shock as she was about to plead again but,
"Go.Now"
"....Mas...te---bas..te---" Kitty\'s body moved on its own when Eli ordered. She left the living room with a vengeful look.
"Hehe.." Eli chuckled at Kitty and then finally looked at the charcoal body.
He then put his elbow on the armrest and leaned his chin on his knuckles.
\'She didn\'t die but....she needs blood\' Eli frowned.
Before leaving just like Kitty he also gave the assassin a punishment after learning she was a vampire though he already guessed it after seeing her sharp ears and canines but just to be safe.
He ordered her to stay in the sunlight directly after dispelling the protective layer and not hide in shadows and no blood until Eli called her.
Eli thought this punishment was nothing much as he saw Zera\'s little reaction to the direct sunlight but now, \'She really looked like black dried fruit...sigh, Is she some kind of lesser vampire or something?\' Eli thought.
Lesser Vampires were nothing but the lower purity of their bloodline. The higher the concentration, the lesser the effects of the sun though they still feel the skin burning like Zera who still felt a burning sensation even though she clearly inherited her mother\'s pure blood.
After contemplating, Eli called Scylla.
"Scylla!"
"...Yes, Master" Scylla walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron.
"..." Eli looked at her stoic expression and asked,
"Do you have some monster blood?"
"...Yes, Master" Scylla said before looking at the almost ashen dead body. Did she feel pity or disgust?...nah, she just wished to end the assassin\'s life.
"Then, take 1 litr..." Eli glanced at the skinny body covered in a thin white gown before saying, "3 litres".
"...Yes, Master" Scylla wanted to refuse to waste high-level monster blood on the dead body, \'Maybe dried fish...\' but she obeyed his order.
After that, Scylla brought 3 packets of blood and left saying she was about to finish the dishes.
"..." Eli looked at Scylla\'s back as she disappeared into the kitchen.
Eli then took one blood packet and dropped a single drop on her dried lips.
\'drip\'
\'sshhh\'
Like a desert man found an oasis. The assassin opened her pink shining eyes as she opened her mouth a little wide.
\'drip\'
\'drip\'
\'drip\'
Eli little by little dropped the single drops of blood. He didn\'t want her to lose self-control and after a few minutes, her burned skin fell from her body and disappeared into the air.
"You can move right?" Eli asked carefreely.
The assassin just nodded her head. Then Eli gave her the first packet.
Soon she grabbed it and started to drink fast,
\'gulp, gulp, gulp\'
She gulped in a single go as she, "Ahhh" Finally she gave a satisfied sigh.
Her body almost turned normal as her colours returned to her body.
"So, Prisania was it?... How was your punishment?" Eli asked nonchalantly as he took the remaining two packets in his hands and swayed left and right.
"...Yzz, \'cough, cough\',..ha...Prisania...My Lord and It\'s horrible" Her pink eyes only followed the blood packets but she answered and said with a horrifying face.
After standing alone in front of the sun. Prisania thought a lot as she finally understood what happened to her as her memories were fuzzy and some were erased.
She was a top-class assassin, who willingly entered a certain organization and trained to become an assassin under the guidance of her savior.
But cannot remember her colleagues\' faces and her savior\'s face.
"..." A small smile appeared on Eli\'s face when she said flatly that was horrible.
"Good" Eli nodded and still he swayed the blood packets as he started to question her,
"You don\'t know who ordered you to kill me, right?"
"Yes"
"You don\'t know where is your assassination HQ, right?"
"Yes"
"You don\'t know who am I, right?"
".....Yes"
Eli wondered whether she was just a \'Yes\' Group machine.
"Are you sure, You don\'t know me?" Eli frowned.
Prisania snapped out the hypnotic blood packets when she heard a stern voice.
"....I-I-I..." Prisania suddenly started to sweat.
"Answer.Me" Eli\'s voice turned indifferently.
"HHIII!" Prisania suddenly jerked as she hurriedly put her face on the ground and said, "Yes, We met before....When I disguised myself as a receptionist during the Admission Exam" Her body trembled in fear.
"hmmm....I thought so" Eli mumbled.
When he saw her first he felt like he had seen her before but he couldn\'t guess who was it, but now, \'That receptionist...is her..ah that\'s why I felt familiar....even so...\' Eli\'s eye turned serious, \'Infiltrating the Nex and not only that she also disguised herself as an employee...It couldn\'t be done without someone from inside\' as he slowly fell into the thoughts.
Seeing no response, Prisania cursed herself, \'Dammit, I should have said it before...what should I do? what should I do?.... Should I kill myself...no, he would control my body literally..urghh...Dammit..\'.
After a few minutes,
"Well, I don\'t have a particular use for you...Tomorrow we will see what kind of fate is waiting for you" Eli said indifferently.
"Huh?" Prisania raised her head and looked at Eli\'s puzzled expression, \'Tomorrow?\'.
Eli didn\'t care about her puzzled gaze just threw the remaining blood packets and said,
"Here...Enjoy. Maybe this could be your last drink of blood....go to the empty room and wait for me tomorrow morning.for.your.verdict" Eli said seriously.
"W-Wait..." Prisania first caught the blood packets and,
"It\'s true, I came to kill you but I only ki..." Before she could finish her body already went to upstairs.
"Now then" Eli muttered as he glanced at the Kitchen.
