The Conquerors Path

The Imperial in question who chose Clara is one hailed all around the world as a fighter and a hero healer. She fought inside the places of the demons and earned a lot of status and power for herself. But what the world doesn't know is the other side of this demon that yearns for another level of power and status.

The Imperial, that woman, was hailed as one of the very few out there who could heal the soul. But what people didn't know is that she can't just heal the soul, she can use the openings in the cracks of the souls to keep their original memories and everything set. However, she could erase their original set ego to make the people her slaves.

Even I was taken aback by the sheer brilliance in which this demon woman functioned. She, under the guise, hailed as among the heroes of the demons, yet within the darkness, she would make the powerful ones that came to her for help, ones with cracked or hairline problems in their souls, into her servants.

And one must know that people who can cause soul-like problems are extremely powerful ones. Hence only very powerful demons and other species of great power and prestige came to meet her. And she, under the eyes of the world hidden from the light, would turn all of these people into her slaves. A very dark way of her darkness healing that she invented herself.

'But I have to say that she is a goddamn genius.'

The only way for the Imperial's mind-wrapping works is by using an earring that she herself created, the very one that Clara has used today. Of course, it has its own limitations and ways that it can be used. For one, she can only use this on people with some sort of problems in their souls, some kind of problem must be present.

The second part is that the person this 'healing' is being used on should be lesser in power than you and shouldn't have an extremely high level of will. If they have tough mental strength, then things would be very hard and can even backfire. Hence this Imperial has played all her cards right and by the end of it all had an extremely powerful organization of people that no one knew.

Well, getting away from me crushing on this woman, the main question comes as to why I did this to Krisly. The very bad-mouthed but headstrong girl, one who just fights me to get information on me regarding her friend Nathalia. And the answer I have to give for that is simple, she works for the other side.

Just like Shira of the past, this Krisly belongs to the dark side that is flooding this world with deaths and danger. Till now, I haven't been able to fully infiltrate that place. I couldn't even get a double spy for me to work there and get information here. But now I have one, one that will get me more information than I can get now.

'But I have to say that she is a goddamn genius.'

Though Krisly works for the other side, her brother is clean and good, and so is the guy's family. All of them are powerful members within certain organizations, and their families are clean, except for this Krisly girl. And when I dug deeper into this, it would seem that Krisly herself wasn't born with much talent, even though her family has great blood of talent.

She was born with a rank 6 plate, while okay, it ain't the range of geniuses that should be produced within her lineage, along with it, she couldn't raise her plate well and didn't have much good control over mana. But it is said to have all changed when she awakened her bloodline. But my guts from the report I saw are saying to me this is no awakening of bloodlines.

'And she wasn't all that good to begin with.'

The only reason that Krisly had gotten close to Nathalia was to get to use Nathalia for the darker side. A powerful piece like Nathalia, any power in the world will fight and kill to have her, and Krisly slithered her way to get close to Nathalia. I don't know what her end goals are, but something tells me she didn't have good intentions for Nathalia.

The only good thing I found about Krisly is that she seems to care for her family, and that's just it. But that's not enough reason to stop me from doing what I have to do to protect my family and loved ones. Hence I don't have a hint of remorse for getting rid of the true ego of Krisly and keeping the shell one that is a full slave to Clara.

When Krisly wakes up, she will just as same how she fell asleep. No one will be able to tell her personality change, but the true Krisly's gone, only the useful ego that Clara can use is left. The technicality of how it can happen is all very complex, for the demon Imperial had done extensive research into using her darkness into the soul and mind to do this. That's why I have some respect for her.

Anyhow, now I have a very useful pawn that I can use, and it's finally time. Because even till now, any one of those double agents that I catch can't be turned at all. I even had Farah try to turn one of them to make them fully loyal to me, but they somehow died before it could even happen. And the things I saw happen to the girl's soul were quite spine-chilling.

The very same aura I felt that day close to death below Shira's basement had appeared and gone, thus it showed me that I couldn't forcefully try to enter in. Death contracts, making them slaves and all didn't seem to work. And even in Krisly's case, it was more of a gamble in my case, not a big gamble because I did this after a lot of thought. I knew that Clara had a 90% chance of succeeding due to the very fact that the information came from the system itself.

Asking for a slave control technique that can help me get over my current problem came at a very steep price, though. But at least now I have a way to the other side and, above that, a very useful way of making power slaves. But the moment I thought of this, I shook my head.

'I can't go too far.'

I want to achieve my goals, but I don't want to simply put innocents in the crossfire. But if push came to shove, I would do it, but even then, I don't want to go fully villain. I need to have some sort of line I shouldn't cross because as always, I don't want to turn into a monster. And as I was thinking of this, the door to Clara's changing room opened up as she called out.

"How do I look?"

The moment I heard it, I turned my head up, my eyes meeting the scene in front of me.

'Gulp...'

The vision before me was nothing short of mesmerizing. Clara, adorned in a scandalously hot ensemble, flaunted her curves in a tight-fitting, sheer pink babydoll dress. The delicate fabric clung to her every contour, leaving nothing to the imagination. A transparent pink veil draped over her body, teasingly revealing glimpses of the sinful delights beneath.

Her lingerie, a matching set in the same provocative shade of pink, pushed the boundaries of decency. The bra, barely containing her ample breasts, was provocatively unclasped, allowing her crimson-tipped nipples to peek out in a blatant invitation. The panties, far from innocent, boasted an open crotch design, leaving her perfectly sculpted and already dripping pussy exposed for my hungry gaze.

"Don't I look fucking irresistible?" Clara purred, a seductive grin playing on her lips. With a tantalizing twirl, she turned around, presenting her backside to me, jiggling her ass. Her ass, adorned with a string of teasing beads, beckoned like a tempting forbidden fruit. The pull trigger of the beads dangled suggestively, a clear indicator of the naughty games she had in mind, her ass ready for me to take.

Giggling mischievously, Clara wiggled her ass, causing the beads to sway and dance in a hypnotic rhythm. The beads, strategically placed to stimulate her every move, added a sinful element to her already enticing appearance. Her current look was an intoxicating fusion of sexiness and cuteness, a potent concoction that screamed to be devoured.

As Clara continued to tease, the room crackled with an electric charge of desire. Her eyes, filled with a wicked glint, locked onto mine, and her sensual movements became an irresistible lure. The combination of her daring attire and the playful beads showcased her uninhibited appetite for pleasure.

"Don't you just want to rip this dress off and ravish me?" she teased, her voice dripping with sultry temptation.
