Chapter 139 Mind Manipulation °

[Slightly R-18]

*****

"Moka." She timidly replied.

"How about him?" Hisha pointed at the brother.

"Duergar." She responded.

Making a grunt, Deurgar snapped at his sister, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Can we be set free, now?" She held onto the cage.

Squatting in front of the cage, Hisha smiled. "Do you think it's going to be that easy?"

Moka's eyes widened in horror at his words.

Pushing himself up, Duergar snapped at his sister. "You were foolish to give out any information about us!"

Whimpering, Moka broke out in tears, wailing and kicking at the cage.

Bang!

Bang!

Kritz facepalmed at her persistence, it was only a matter of time before she would get the repercussions of her actions.

Bang!

'They just don't learn, do they?'

Boom!

Once more, the buildup of the hits backfired as she was thrown against the wall.

Hisha hid his shock at the result of hitting the reinforced cage.

'So that's the reason Kritz coated the cage with his Sux.' Hisha thought with a smirk.

[It's a complex technique known only to the Vandriks]

'Excluding me, you mean.' Hisha corrected.

His ability could negate any preferential technique or ability akin to a race.

[Excluding you, host]

HTC corrected it with a sweat dropping emoji.

'Yeah, that's right!'

Shaking his head, Kritz held onto the bars, staring down at her with disdain. "You're quite stupid and weak for a high-ranking hobgoblin."

Snnf!

Moka wiped her face, her eyes glowing with rekindled rage.

Lurching at Kritz, she scratched at the air trying her best to reach out for him.

Kritz had his brows twitching in frustration, from what he could see, she had been emotional a few minutes ago, and now dangerous and ready to strike?

Slowly her skin went a darker shade of purple and spit drooled down her chin.

Hisha had also noticed this and turned to Duergar for answers.

Left with no choice, Duergar lowered his head.

"She has a split personality." He muttered.

"Eeeeee!" Moka screeched as she tried to make a slash at Kritz.

"She has both her timid and cowardly self of which she can speak, then we have... that..." He gestured to Moka, facepalming in embarrassment.

This was strange new information to Hisha as he had never heard of creatures who could have split personalities as distinct as Moka's.

"Tell me, how did you invade my territory without my knowledge? Why did you choose to attack now?"

Duergar scoffed at the questions, a maniacal laughter echoed throughout the dungeon.

Furrowing his brows, Hisha thought of the item in his inventory he had wanted to use for some time.

'HTC, I guess it's possible to use it now. This thing isn't my harem nor someone sharing a bond with me.'

[Affirmative]

A devious grin spread across his lips which had made Duergar reconsider his initial outburst.

'The mind manipulation pill would be useful at this point.'

Beep!

[Using this pill would put your target under your control for 48 hours after initialization]

[Would you like to proceed?]

[Y/N]

'Heck, yes!'

Materializing into his clenched fingers, he got to his feet and walked over to Mako.

"W... What are you doing?!!!" Duergar yelled in protest.

There was something oddly strange about the overlord's behavior that made him worry about his sister's safety.

Clicking his tongue, Hisha let out a low chuckle. "I'm not going to hurt her."

'But it would be more enjoyable to use her.' Hisha snickered in his thoughts.

Not wanting to risk killing her due to mistakes in containing his strength in the scuffle, he turned to Kritz.

"Restrain her so I can carry out a little experiment."

With a nod in reply, Kritz wrapped her with his Sux, squeezing her arms as she let out a scream in pain.

Opening the cage, Hisha stepped in.

Caressing her cheek, Hisha felt how smooth they were under her trembling body.

She shook her head, attempting to have a bite at his fingers when she had the chance.

Snap!

Snap!

"I prefer the timid version of you, it's not only pretty but also a big turn-on." He whispered into her ear, holding her jaw in place to prevent her movement.

Taking the pill, he forcefully opened her mouth and threw it in, closing it once more.

Moka fought to open her mouth, sensing something was wrong with what she had been fed.

Shaking his head, Hisha snickered. "Swallow, it would be better for you."

"What did you feed her?!!" Duergar yelled in rage, rushing to the side of the cage, and glaring daggers at Hisha.

"Silence, vile creature!" Kritz thundered, zapping it in the throat.

Duergar gasped, trying his best to speak to no avail.

[You have a wonderful sidekick]

'Shut it! I prefer the term butler... and yes he is, he did what I would have done to silence that piece of trash.'

Duergar's body shook with suppressed rage at what he was witnessing. 'Get your hands off my sister!!!'

Locking eyes with Duergar, Hisha made a mocking pout. "If you can't speak, I guess I could get some answers one way or another after I've had some fun."

With his eyes doubling in size, Duergar shook the cage in a futile attempt at getting to the other one.

Boom!

Throwing him against the other side of the bar, he groaned in pain.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"You just don't learn, do you?" Kritz pinched the bridge of his nose.

"You don't decide for me." Hisha sneered.

Gulp!

Losing her composure, Moka swallowed the pill.

[Mind manipulation initializing... 10%...]

Hisha watched in awe as her skin reverted to a lavender complexion and an expressionless face.

'More like a doll if you ask me, HTC.'

[Would you like some life to it?]

'Obviously!'

Moka's cheeks were flushed as she reached out to Hisha with a lustful gaze.

'How the hell did you know I had this in mind? I have not spoken yet.' Hisha held her hands, forcing them above her head, and pushed her against the wall.

Staring at her changed behavior, he could see the burning desire in her eyes as she awaited his command.

[What system am I again, host?]

'...'

Hisha's deadpanned face stared at the screen.

Kritz stared in shock at the sudden change in the attitude of Moka. Clearing his throat and looking the other way.

Duergar wasn't too pleased as he let out an inaudible scream in rage.

"Let her go." Hisha commended Kritz, she needed to be free to respond to his actions as he causes a mental breakdown to Duergar.

Doing as he was told, his Sux dissipated allowing her much more freedom to move.

Upon her release, she pressed her bust onto Hisha's chest.

'I'm liking this new behavior.'

"Excuse us, I will call on you when I need anything." He conveyed it to Kritz.

With a nod of his head, he vanished in black mist.

Finally alone with Duergar, he had a wicked smirk as he turned to Moka, giving her a sensual and long kiss.

At the first instance, he had wanted to use the pill on Duergar, but he had realized there would be nothing to derive from getting the information on a silver platter.

'Break him and force him to spill while he's still conscious!'

This was the mindset of Hisha as he fondled Moka's right breast.

Breaking away from the kiss, he looked behind him and at Duergar. "When I feel you are ready to speak, only then will I release my hold on your sister."

'I am ready to speak, ask me anything!!' He screamed in his thoughts, nodding his head in willingness.

Shaking his head to the response, Hisha tore at Moka's purple crop top, grabbing a hold of one of her breasts.

"I can't hear you." Hisha snickered.

"Sit." He commanded Moka.

Thud!

She immediately did as she was told, dropping to the floor as she sat on one of her legs and the other to her side.

[Ability: Materialization]

[2 Sux is exhausted every minute]

'Sure, sure. I already know that after the first encounter with meretrix-01.'

Creating a blindfold around Duergar, he needed him to hear and not necessarily see what he was going to do.

[2 Sux exhausted]

Duergar tugged at the blindfold, scratching at his face in the process.

"It's pointless, just listen as I have a good time with your sister." Hisha cackled.

"If you truly want to gain your speech, you would have to bow a total of 3000 times with two seconds interval. Your petition to show your willingness to talk would only be granted after you complete a little task."

'HTC, track his bows after every 20 seconds.'

[Bows: 0/3000]

Duergar got on his knees in a hurry, bowing as told.

Hisha's gaze fell back on Moka. "Looks like you might be finally useful."
