Reborn as a Transcendent

Chapter 446: So Cute, Slapping You Must Feel Great

⇐ ⇒

"@#$@!" The Artifact Soul was frightened, bouncing back and emitting a cute scream. If she had a heart, it would have probably jumped out of her chest by now.

"You're the one behind all that, right?" Yaeger quickly stretched out her hands, pinching the Artifact Soul's pinkish little face and pulling hard.

"@#!" The latter swore out of immense pain.

At this moment, Alicia and the rest looked over in surprise. ‘Why is Princess playing with the Artifact Soul?' Looking closer, it was clear that Yaeger was bullying the Artifact Soul. Alicia was dumbfounded. That little creature was the master that controlled the underground maze; she should never be treated this way!

Just as Alicia was about to intervene, a sudden change occurred. The white dimension suddenly darkened, and blue light flashed from Yaeger's direction. Light flashed on the Artifact Soul, her eyes growing grim as she sensed killing intent. Although she wasn't proficient in combat, her opponent was right in front of her and defenseless—a perfect opportunity for an easy kill.

Taking advantage of the situation, the Artifact Soul unleashed blue energy beams from her eyes. At such a close distance, Yaeger couldn't possibly dodge them. But surprisingly, Yaeger had no intention of dodging at all. She had provoked the little creature because she felt no threat from her.

The Artifact Soul clearly controlled the underground maze, but she didn't pose a threat at all. Or perhaps, she alone wasn't strong enough to even threaten Yaeger. That's why Yaeger dared to provoke her.

Just like now, Yaeger remained unfazed, feeling no hint of danger despite the destructive beams about to hit her. On the other side, Yunuen and the others panicked, their hearts skipping a beat while their minds went blank. "Watch out!" Alicia cried out, her voice filled with urgency.

Simultaneously, the Artifact Soul's attack was merely five centimeters away from Yaeger—a certain death scenario. However, in a strange turn of events, the terrible blue energy beams froze, halting right in front of Yaeger. Time seemed to come to a standstill, but their emotions continued to surge.

Astonishment filled the air, leaving Alicia and the others stunned and dismayed. The situation, which should have ended in certain death, had taken a bizarre and confusing turn. However, as they observed that Yaeger remained unscathed, shock and confusion transformed into reassurance.

Among them all, the Artifact Soul was the most bewildered. Although she knew time was flowing smoothly, her own attacks inexplicably ceased. Soon, her surprise turned to horror.

In that moment, Yaeger emanated a black aura, and a small roulette appeared at the center of the white dimension. A powerful aura enveloped the entire space, pressing down on everyone. Instantly, they trembled under its force.

Wide-eyed, the Artifact Soul's cute face turned pale as paper, her petite body trembling incessantly. She was filled with intense fear, as if she had encountered this aura long ago. It evoked within her a sense of worship and terror.

‘Indeed, this little creature is related to the [Chaos Roulette],' Yaeger thought, observing the expression on the Artifact Soul's face. In that instant, she connected all the dots from her previous experiences. She remembered the dangers she faced when she first entered the Trap Maze. As the maze's difficulty increased, more perils emerged.

She recalled stumbling upon adventurers, players, and black-armored warriors gathering outside the maze, whom she coincidentally slaughtered. Later, she found herself battling two Swift Black Dragons in an arena. Desperation had driven her to use the [Chaos Roulette]'s Special Effect to turn the tide of the battle.

At this moment, the Artifact Soul radiated intense killing intent towards her. Yaeger suspected that the little creature was the one who had allowed Chris to enter. It seemed she held a deep fear of the roulette. Yaeger had already noticed the special connection between the [Chaos Roulette] and the Artifact Soul. Otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly tried to kill them all.

Provoking the Artifact Soul was a deliberate move to test her connection to the roulette. The expression of shock on the creature's face confirmed Yaeger's suspicions. They shared an unusual and significant relationship.

"@#$…" The Artifact Soul uttered incomprehensible words, her expression filled with sorrow. As soon as she finished speaking, the [Chaos Roulette] emitted a beam of light energy. The moment it entered the Artifact Soul's head, she let out a piercing scream.

The [Chaos Roulette] quickly settled down and returned to Yaeger's chest, causing the horrifying aura to dissipate. Relief washed over everyone, and they continued to observe the unfolding events.

Ding! You have successfully signed a [Life Contract] with the Artifact Soul [Blue] of the [City of Chaos]. From now on, you are the new master of [Blue] and the [City of Chaos].

Ding! Congratulations on becoming the first player ever to own a [War Fortress].

Reward: One drop of [Angel's Tears], one partial copy of [Green Emperor's Longevity Manual], ten High-grade Agility potions, 10,000 gold coins.

Ding! You have earned the title of [Lord of Chaos City].

Upon hearing the sudden system announcements, Yaeger found herself stunned, as if trapped in an endless dream. What had just happened? Had she won a massive giveaway? The realization struck her—she had been given a city.

She facepalmed in disbelief. On the other side, the Artifact Soul had recovered and swore at Yaeger in frustration. But Yaeger remained unfazed. She tapped the little creature's small face with force, asserting her control. "It's not a dream," she said. "There is now a deep connection between me and this little creature."

Moreover, Yaeger realized that she had the power to control the Artifact Soul's life. The creature, infuriated by the slap, opened its mouth in an attempt to bite her hand. However, Yaeger swiftly raised her hand and slapped the Artifact Soul once more, “Speak human!”

The Artifact Soul froze in disbelief, tears streaming down its face.

"Waaaaah!" The Artifact Soul cried, its sobs reminiscent of a child's. Yaeger couldn't help but derive a peculiar sense of pleasure from witnessing its tearful display.

In that moment, Yaeger felt a gratifying sense of vengeance. It was absolutely delightful~

"Huhuhu, Little cutie. I am now your master. If you fail to serve me properly, be prepared to face the consequences!" Yaeger menacingly pinched the Artifact Soul's cheeks, assuming the role of a villain.

"#&%*!" The Artifact Soul cried out, its unwillingness evident in its tearful expression.

Yaeger swiftly delivered another slap and commanded sternly, "Speak human."

"Sob… I refuse to speak the lowly language of humans…" The Artifact Soul spoke with disdain.

The sound of a crisp slap resonated through the air.

"Sob sob sob, I actually love speaking human languages the most…" The Artifact Soul sobbed, its words tinged with a hint of irony.
