Chapter 246 - Hypnosis

Jonathan was sitting in a chair, changing fresh dressing for his wound, in a side hall of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

He was pierced by Adolf with Druid’s sword during the battle yesterday. Fortunately, it didn’t hit his key part, and Druid had found the best medicine for him afterward.

“Do you feel better?”

Outside the door came the voice of Druid.

“I’m okay. The injury will be cured soon with those drugs. Go protect the Forbidden Book, and don’t be hurt by the demons,” replied Jonathan.

“Okay.”

Druid turned away. As Druid’s footsteps receded, Jonathan looked at his wound and seemed to feel some strange magic vaguely.

“Damn it. I already used the holy medicine, but the wound is still healing so slowly. Did that guy do magic to me?” Jonathan whispered to himself with a frown.

“Haha, it’s not to hurt you, but to make it easy to find you.”

Suddenly, a voice came in the dark.

“Who?!” Jonathan stood up immediately and summoned the Holy Sword on alert.

“Don’t be nervous. I’m not hostile.”

The voice sounded again. Then a lot of blood bats appeared in the room, from which stepped out a figure.

“Adolf!”

After a roar, Jonathan brandished his sword forward violently.

“Whiz!”

Adolf flashed to avoid the powerful sword, and then suppressed it with his hand, saying, “I came to discuss something with you. I have no hostility.”

“I have nothing to discuss with you demons. Either you or I will die today!” Jonathan didn’t listen to Adolf at all.

He forcibly pushed Adolf away with his elbow, and brandished his sword again.

“What a bad boy!”

A little bored, Adolf cast magic directly to crack Jonathan’s wound, and then aggravated his pain.

“Ugh!”

Jonathan screamed, and was immediately knocked down to the ground by the pain. He was sweating, convulsed and gasping.

“I think you can listen to me now,” Adolf crouched down.

“If you want to kill me, just do it!”

Jonathan glared ahead. He knew that the other side had performed the isolation magic, so no one could hear his scream now, and he could only wait for death.

“Oh, no no no!”

Adolf quickly shook his head and said intently, “Why will I kill you? Oh, you’re my friend. How can I bear to kill you?”

“Asshole! You never deserve to be my friend. You only deserve to die under my sword!” Jonathan retorted.

“Why are you so excited? I’m here to help you! You’re the brave and fearless leader of the Dragon Slaughter Knights, but why are you lying here so weakly now?” Adolf asked.

“Demon, what the hell do you want?” Jonathan gritted his teeth in pain.

Adolf stood up and said slowly, “Think carefully, Why can’t such a brave, hateful, powerful and fearless person like you control the Sanctuary?”

“Instead, why can that cowardly Druid have the popularity and power? As the Dragon Slaughter Knights, why do you have to be suppressed by the Seraph Knights?”

“It’s not fair. That robber took everything that was supposed to be yours. He didn’t even consider you a brother, but just a pawn. Look at your wound. That’s his sword.”

Jonathan slammed the ground angrily and said, “You want to hypnotize me? Druid is my brother. His sword was controlled by you, a demon, to pierce me!”

He remained sane now and was not misled by Adolf’s words. However, Adolf had been slowly casting magic to disintegrate Jonathan’s mind step by step ever since he came in.

His hands on his back were emitting strange red lights. At the same time, Jonathan’s wound was also shimmering with red lights into his body.

Adolf smiled softly, saying, “But do you think he really cares? Considering his speed, he’s absolutely able to rush over to block the sword for you.”

“Moreover, he threw out the sword for Wang Bugui and Wang’s people. Has he worked so hard for you Dragon Slaughter Knights in your memory? Even once!”

“Never! You rush to the forefront every time! As for the Seraph Knights, they just come to pick up the fruits of the war after your death and injury with the title of the Sanctuary’s most powerful fighting force.”

“Don’t talk rot! Our Dragon Slaughter Knights is the front troops to create fighters for the Seraph Knights. It’s a tactic!” Jonathan refuted.

“A tactic? He and his Seraph Knights have all the honors. But how about you? You watch your brothers die one by one, but still not as glorious as the Seraph Knight.”

Adolf said again. He, at the same time, stepped up his magic again, and the opponent had gradually been brought into his rhythm.

“You’re lying to me! They will have the same glory as the Seraph Knights after their death! They died for faith, for justice. Why can’t they have the glory?” Jonathan growled.

“Can they? They can only lie in the graves now. The dead flowers around them are all given by you Dragon Slaughter Knights. Have they Seraph Knights ever sent even a flower?”

“Oh no. Not to mention the flowers, have they ever gone to see them? Those people died for justice, for creating fighters for them.”

Adolf said again. At the same time, the red lights behind him became stronger again. Jonathan didn’t notice that the dark red magic was eroding through his gaping wound.

He was looking back at the moment, trying to find out the memories to overturn Adolf’s statement. In his fading memory, he seemed to have visited them with some people.

But when he struggled to recall, he found he couldn’t remember at all. A moment later, the memory disappeared!

Adolf was about to successfully control Jonathan. Now he could tamper with the other side’s memory. He changed all of Jonathan’s memories with the Seraph Knights into various discord and hatred.

When they fought side by side, the Seraph Knights were almost at the front. However, Adolf used a few fights and changed the front troops to the Dragon Slaughter Knights.

When the other party’s hypnosis was deepened, he enlarged the death and injury of the Dragon Slaughter Knights in his memory by several times and changed the image of the Seraph Knights into hideous hypocrites.

Although Jonathan wanted to prove these memories wrong, there was no way. He had almost been deeply hypnotized by the other party, and these tampered memories were difficult to distinguish.

They were half true and half false. Real things were added with false things to confuse Jonathan, which was the most confusing lie in the world. Jonathan couldn’t tell which was true and which was false.

“Uh! No, no!”

Jonathan felt a great headache. All the memories in his mind had been tampered with. No matter how he tried to think back, he could only recall much faker memories.

Adolf uttered with a chuckle again, “Think carefully, do the Seraph Knights really treat you as brothers? They gain the advantage every time, and you are the one who suffers, aren’t you?”

“And Druid, he’s on Wang Bugui’s side. Don’t you see it? Wang Bugui had hurt your brothers to put on a show of force since he came to the west.”

“Druid and his knights didn’t help you at all. They just stood by and even laughed, didn’t they?”

Adolf laughed, and then used magic to tamper with Jonathan’s memory again, setting all the Seraph Knights ridiculing and laughing.

“Ugh! Ugh!”

Jonathan shouted with his head in his arms. The memory in his mind was really changed into such a scene. Rage rose in his heart. His eyes were bloodshot and his teeth were almost broken.

“They, didn’t help me… Wang Bugui beat and killed my people when he came to the Sanctuary. He should die!” Jonathan growled.

“Yes, you’re right. And his companions, they should also die. How many of you did they kill last time they broke into the Sanctuary?” Adolf continued to cast hypnosis.

“My brothers, nearly a thousand of them have died! Druid!” Jonathan growled wildly.

In his memory, Wang Bugui and his members aimed at wildly killing the people of the Dragon Slaughter Knights. Instead of helping them, Druid even led the Seraph Knights to slaughter his brothers.

He had now completely degenerated and become a puppet of Adolf. With a pair of bloody eyes, he kept roaring like a wild animal. His body was full of rage.

Now, he had no other ideas but to kill these people.

“Good, you finally remember how abominable they are! These hypocrites are living better than you now. But look at your brothers, they’re miserable.

“Countless of them died and injured in the battle yesterday, but the Seraph Knights were protected by Wang Bugui!”

Adolf made confused remarks again. At this moment, his hands were not on his back. He put them directly before Jonathan’s eyes and cast magic against him.

“Yes, these damn guys!” Jonathan flared with anger.

He had taken those fabricated memories as facts.

“So, I’m not your enemy. There’s a saying that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. You need help now, and I can certainly help you.” Adolf stretched out his hands.

“How are you going to help me? You must have conditions.” Jonathan clasped his head.

“Haha, it’s a win-win situation for us…”

Adolf chuckled, and then stepped forward, explaining the plan against Jonathan’s ear.
