"Aaarrrgghh!"


    A scream not befitting a Paragon came out of Ariana''s mouth.


    ? ''How is this possible?!'' Ariana asked herself as she retreated in pain.


    Her Pseudo-Legendary Grade Vambrace was actually incapable of stopping Vincent''s sword!


    Her Vambrace is also strengthened by her Lightning Coil so she didn''t expect this to happen.


    Her skin, muscles, and bones were also incredibly tough… In truth, there were many asions when she was struck by a sword but none of them managed to scratch her at all.


    She thought that the dagger that stabbed her stomach was already her enemy''s trump card… However, the man managed to pull out another legendary sword that could cut a Paragon…


    ''So unlucky… This person must be very important to the Tower Lord… There was no way he can possess two Legendary Grade items and even control a Mythical Beast at such a young age…'' Ariana said in her mind as she finally realized that she was dealing with someone she can''t mess with.


    "Stop!"


    Ariana suddenly shouted as she saw Vincent walking towards her.


    At this point, the screams of the martial artists behind her have already stopped so she can easily guess that the Mythical Beast has already dealt with them.


    Anyway, she wanted to buy some time to recover a bit of her energy so she wanted to engage in a conversation with the young man in front of her.


    "Are you willing to surrender now? I won''t be killing you if you happen to give up now." Vincent said as during this time, Professor Levent has been using her telepathy to ry what happened during his absence.


    As soon as he heard that the ck Magic Organization has already "bribed" the other organizations against the ck Tower, he knows that he has to know more about this.


    And obviously, the Paragon in front of him would be able to provide all the information he needed to understand their situation.


    "Surrender? Who are you, anyway? Are you really part of the ck Tower? Why haven''t you acted until now?"


    She was really curious about this. She knows that with Vincent''s peculiar ability and his Mythical Beast, the ck Tower would''ve been able to defend several more strongholds.


    ''I''m sure he''s not Mikhail… Perhaps, he''s Ignacy''s son? There''s no way a normal organization can lend out these legendary items to him unless he''s from a rich family or supported by one.'' Ariana thought as she realized that the dagger stabbing her had already returned to Vincent''s hands.


    Her bleeding was stopped by her lighting attribute so her wounds were easily closed and her organs had started to regenerate.


    "My name isn''t important… But your life is…" Vincent replied as he started to pressure Ariana with his Soul Domain and the Tome of Gluttony.


    Suddenly, her lightning protection disappeared and Vincent didn''t miss this chance to drain the mana in her body…


    Because of this, Ariana''s recovery slowed down again.


    Vincent then pulled out a potion from his inventory.


    "If you want to live, drink this potion… It won''t kill you but it will suppress your abilities for a period of time. If you cooperate with us, you might only be imprisoned for some time and you definitely won''t die… but if you ignore my kindness now, I will have to kill you here." Vincent threatened as he coldly look at Ariana.<novelnext></novelnext>


    Ariana could only bite her lips in anger… Even if she can escape here, she would be in a very precarious situation if she didn''t treat her arm immediately. Vincent cut her right arm cleanly with his legendary sword. If it wasn''t treated anytime soon, it might be permanent…


    No matter how great their Magic Technology was, this kind of injury will still be difficult to treat if a certain time passes. Reattaching a limb is just too difficult and a normal recovery pill or potion that people bring every day wouldn''t be enough.


    After considering her options, Ariana can only nod and spoke with an aggrieved tone.


    "I will cooperate… However, you must heal my arm quickly…" Ariana immediately said as she looked at her right arm on the ground.


    "Hmmm… That''s easy. We should still have plenty of time. You have to drink this potion first…" Vincent said.


    "B-but if you seal or suppress my energy with that potion, I won''t be able to maintain the pressure on my arm. I might bleed to death instead."


    "It''s fine… This potion has weak healing properties… I''m not sure why it appeared but trust me… Hurry up."


    Vincent said but he swiftly appraised the potion to confirm that he got the correct one in his inventory.


    [ A Vial of Subordination Impulse Potion ]


    [ Grade: High


    Number of Enhancements: 9/10


    Description: A magical liquid made from the essence of Hazel Avens and Venom Mind Leaf with various supplementary ingredients. Consumption can lead to disorientation and hypnosis vulnerability. During this time, you will have an impulse to serve the first person you see after the consumption.


    The potion''s effect can onlyst for 10 days.


    Remarks: Every sessful enhancement will improve the effectiveness of the potion. ]


    That''s right… It has no healing properties at all.


    Vincent didn''t show his expression as he gave it to Ariana. It''s also better if she thinks that the potion can just suppress her powers instead of hypnotizing her.


    She then swiftly checked the potion and appraised it with her limited ability. She''s abatant and not an alchemist or appraiser after all. Although she has a method to appraise things, it wasn''t to a degree that she can find out the effects of a high-grade potion…


    The most she could do was to check whether it is a poison that can threaten her life or not.


    Obviously, she didn''t find anything wrong with the green potion since she can''t really die just by drinking them…


    Ariana sighed as she evaluated her situation.


    ''That''s right… There''s no need to borately poison me if he has this level of strength to begin with… As long as I''m alive, the Alliance Head would be able to rescue me.''


    With this in consideration, she finally agreed.


    "Since it only has weak healing abilities, you have to treat me immediately after I consume this…" Ariana dered to which Vincent replied with a nod.
