GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?-Chapter 2114: Combination Ability.
Their point of contact with her was her mind, so the snake was deposited on her mind through the mental probe. The snake coiled around her mind, grew spikes around itself, and then constricted itself.
The snake elongated to encircle her mind. This increase in size cost them 20 extra units of spiritual energy for a total of 30 units. But the extra cost was worth it.
After encircling her mind, it tightened itself and squeezed her mind. With the snake strangling her mind, the spikes on its body dug deep into her mind.
The snake became entrenched around her mind. This caused great pain to her.
The pain was so great that she fell to her knees, held her head with both of her hands, and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
They couldn't see her, but they could hear her, and they could see her current emotions. Her loud scream was like music to their ears. It made them smile.
Legion-1 chuckled and said, "The combination of the power of two hated pathways. She never stood a chance."
Legion-2 warned Legion-11, who was currently in control of the body and using the Mental Probe ability of the pathway of the telepath, "Don't get carried away now. This is far from over."
Legion-12 replied for Legion-11. "We know. We aren't novices."
Legion-13 chuckled and said, "Yeah. This isn't our first time doing this."
Meanwhile, Legion-11 was speaking to the lady, "Don't do anything suspicious. Just stand up and walk straight ahead until you reach the back."
She was understandably confused by the presence of an unknown voice in her mind. She was also panicking.
"Who are you?" she asked.
Legion-7 controlled the black, thorny snake in her mind and made it twist and constrict. This caused pain to shoot through her mind.
It was pain that she couldn't resist or ignore even with a strong will. She stumbled and fell to the ground as she lost control of her body. She was screaming in pain as her body began to shake.
Legion-11 admonished her, "You're making a scene. Control yourself and do what I asked you to do. Don't ask any questions, just stand up and walk out."
At this time, many people in the shop had been attracted by her screams. The shop was a fabric shop so they were alarmed by her behavior.
Many people came over to ask her what was wrong, but she smiled and said, "I'm fine, thank you for asking."
She rebuffed everyone. If Legion was around her, no one would have listened to her. They would have stuck to her to protect her.
But there was no enemy in sight. It simply appeared that she was experiencing an episode of a terrible disease.
She stood up and wiped the tears from her face. Then she went around back.
The voice in her head sounded again, "Take your left and go straight ahead until the next turn."
She didn't see anyone around. But she did as the voice in her head told her to do.
Legion didn't appear to her. They didn't want her to see who they were so that even if she broke free from their control, she wouldn't know who to target and their identity as slavers would be safe.
Their identity as a slaver is far more dangerous than being a godclad. If being a godclad can already cause people to follow them and try to kill them, then being a slaver will cause many powerful godclads to come after them.
Many slavers want to be careful. They want to hide their identities, but it is not easy to do at all.
Right from the start, to use their Bondage ability, they have to be in contact with who they want to bind. They usually achieve this contact through physical touch.
That means that they have to be close to whoever they want to bind. They can hide their features, but being close means that some things about them, such as smell, height, build, and shoe size, will be known. This can be used to track them in the future.
Very few godclads can be like them, who don't appear around their slave at all. In fact, they are not even in the same street with the lady at all. They took another street while directing her to the edge of the town.
The distance between them and her has crossed 100 meters. They can't see her with their eyes or with the mental probe ability. Yet, they can still communicate with her and direct her regardless of the distance between them.
It is all thanks to the combination of mental probe and bondage ability. Because of this combination, they were able to place their mark of slavery in her mind, not her body.
Usually, the mark of slavery would be on her body at exactly the spot that they were in contact with her when they bound her. This mark would be visible to others and would be easy for people to identify her as a slave.
They can also use the mark of slavery to cause her to feel pain. That's the main ability of the mark.
The mark can't control her actions. It can only be used to cause pain to the slave. It can't make her lose control of her body or stop her from killing her slaver.
The pain will compel the slave into obedience. But it might not work on a stubborn slave.
This is true for this lady too. The only difference is that the mark is on her mind, so the pain is greater. The pain being from her mind is why her actions were disrupted when they activated the bondage.
The mark being on her mind also grants them other benefits. Apart from being unable to identify her as a slave by physically examining her, the hidden location of the mark will also make it more difficult for the mark to be removed by others and the slave herself. After all, it is nearly impossible to remove what you can't see or touch.
