Chapter 56 The Master
Chapter 56: The Master
As Brandi calmly stood in the middle of her domain like a poison goddess, her heart was far from composed, nervously beating against her chest.
Which at times felt like unnecessary worry.
After all, her skills continued battering Hunter from inside and outside. To say nothing of his skin being mauled and scalded, with rivers of blood dripping, Brandi had pulled on his lungs and heart, which would have already driven countless people insane.
Some would have died by now, too, yet Hunter stood still like a black tower.
It seemed like raised pain sensors didn\'t leave an effect on him…
\'Is it because he\'s headless? That can\'t be just it…\' Brandi inwardly analyzed, for she could see the outline of Hunter\'s armor and frame.
On the other hand, Hunter could only dream of finding her position in this dense, poisonous cloud. Even if he had his head outside it, he couldn\'t easily pinpoint her location.
Time was on her side.
Hunter\'s loss was just a matter of time, in fact.
He couldn\'t move, after all.
He hadn\'t even tried to move his limbs as there was no disruption in her Virulent Zone — Brandi could tell that.
Comforting her nervous heart, Brandi focused on keeping her skills active, wearing Hunter down while her expressionless face was observing his towering frame for any changes…
Which, at last, happened.
His Garden Of Liberation surged around him, draping him and even going above like a wave of tsunami. Countless red roses and their spears extended from the red cape of Headless Deathless, hurtling at Brandi\'s curves like perverted tentacles.
Yet, she smirked, freezing them all with her toxins.
\'I have already invaded your veins… I can stop your skill with nothing but thought!\'
Which wasn\'t exactly the case, as Brandi would have loved to freeze the entire blood wall from which more and more red roses blossomed. At some point, Hunter\'s frame was drowned in them, leaving a wall behind, spitting thorny spears at the toxic woman!
\'Pointless struggle!\'
All were halted before passing even a half distance to her.
Yet, more and more were still coming at her!
\'Was he waiting to get drowned in his blood?! I… I made such a stupid mistake just because there was no blood ocean around him!\'
As this thought resounded in her heart, the battle started tipping in Hunter\'s favor.
From the spot on which he stood like an immovable tower, the temperature heavily plummeted. Cold steam flooded the poison prison, taking over Brandi\'s toxins by showcasing a real frigid potency.
Soon, Brandi entirely lost Hunter, who was drowned in her zone!
Hovering her eyes on the spot where he should stay, she raised her defenses, waiting for whatever he was about to throw at her.
\'He can\'t move… he surely can\'t move! Even if I made a mistake, I began the battle with numbing poison! He has too much of it in his system and flesh! Which leaves only blood! Only his blood can reach me!\'
Which was a wrong thought…
…for in the middle of the coldness, Hunter was gathering his strength in his right first. When the time to counterattack came, all cold steam and around seventy percent of his lost blood rushed to his fist, filling it with more weight and power.
At last, he threw a punch forward, tearing a tunnel to Brandi\'s side.
But the force of that punch was so high and heavy that Hunter ended up destroying Brandi\'s defenses and slamming his strength into her body, tossing her off her zone!
She flew outside in a parabola with a blood streak in her wake. Then, she rolled on the silver sand before weakly raising her eyes at her scattering zone…
…from which Hunter was walking out.
Noticing how he actually walked, Brandi\'s heart jumped from admiration and fear because Hunter indeed couldn\'t move even a finger. Yet, he walked, for he prepared a scheme to allow himself to move and fight despite all the toxins burdening him.
Inspired by the recent events and experiences, Hunter made a tsunami wave of his own blood hanging above him, from which countless roses extended, wrapping around his limbs and joints, turning him into a marionette, with his separated head being a puppeteer.
If even one rose lost against Brandi\'s toxins, he instantly created a new one, replacing it.
And in this way, he now won the battle, for the shadow of his towering black armor was already cast on Brandi\'s laying self. With his hand extended forward, he could freely crush her.
The battle was over.
It was understood by both sides since Brandi was far from her usual mature self. Before this man and his hulking presence, she was now like a little girl, with her defeated and fallen self at his wish.
Her already developed admiration and fear toward him has grown more…
…and a few apologies had already rolled onto her tongue, only to flow back to her heart.
Which were feelings Hunter inflicted within her on his own without relying on his inheritance… for if he really wanted to develop some bond with the spirits in his world, he had to be the linchpin of their relationship — their man.
The Master.
He couldn\'t leave that to his inheritance… and that just sounded so lame.
Nonetheless, Brandi\'s punishment was far from over.
Using his dripping blood off his gauntlet, Hunter stretched roses toward Brandi, lifting her off the desert before taking her into his embrace.
As his arms wrapped around her back, he pressed on her spine, crushing it.
"Ahhhh!"
The sound of it was horrifying and painful. Blood getting spat from Brandi\'s mouth didn\'t help the image, either.
Hunter didn\'t care about it, however.
He flatly said, "I hate when people try to snatch my opportunities… you tried that, Brandi, and here we are." He gave her a few seconds to process those words before continuing, "And I did my best to understand your position. I put myself in your place, trying to see through your heart. All on account of you helping me, saving Seraphina, and you being Nakisha\'s sister. We had a fair deal, after all. You helped me, I helped you… so I kinda came to understand that nothing really keeps you in my world, as there is no bond between us. But now, I hope you understand that I can\'t let you go… that I\'ve become your Master… that you belong to me… and that you have an unfavorable position in my heart. I hate you more than I like you… and my interest in you had been deep because you are a hot older woman. Now, none of it matters. Your ambitions and plans no longer matter as well. Because I am stronger and selfish, I compel you to focus on your relationship with me and rebuild it from this unfavorable position."
All those words were said with the experiences Hunter had gathered in the hunter world.
After all, everything boiled down to strength and prospects.
Hunter\'s potential was much higher than Brandi\'s, and now that she had fallen into his world, he couldn\'t just let her go and risk his secret being exposed.
She was bound to him by the external circumstances.
There could only be her being his or being enslaved.
No other way.
Which was why Hunter decided to build his relationship with her by fighting against her, showcasing his adaptation, strength, and future potential. If that, alongside his inheritance, wouldn\'t convince Brandi to work for him and become his, Hunter would be forced to use a maid dress to control her.
And that would have been the worst.
It\'d mean literally no opportunities with her and no room for growth as she would be utterly controlled by him.
It sounded boring, even somewhat disgusting.
Tons of opportunities literally bloomed when people worked genuinely from the bottom of their hearts, after all.
Turning around, Brandi loaded her spine with toxins while focusing her rippling purple eyes on Hunter\'s face.
Her voice weakly trailed off, "As you wish, Master…"
At that moment, Hunter\'s heart warmed, and he felt like he was growing into a man who really could have a lot of beautiful and strong women around him!
The satisfaction of the new experience of a woman calling him \'Master\' washed over him, cutting all red roses, making him sit on the ground with his head soon attached to his neck.
As the armor dispersed, Hunter closed his eyes and allowed Brandi\'s skill to take away all toxins from him.
After that, Nakisha came to her sister\'s side and kicked her healing spine!
"Ahhh!"
"Bitch!"
"S-Stop hitting me!"
"Huh? Why? You told me off and even said to take an example of him, only for you to be the dumbest one! I\'ll fucking kick you until I\'m content!"
"Ahhh! Ahhhh!"
Hunter chuckled, "That\'s sisterly love, isn\'t it?"
