Chapter 55: Brandi\'s move (2)
Brandi\'s fierce gaze hovered for a few more seconds before something she had been fearing occurred.
The maid dress tightened around her top, fastening her arms to her torso. At the same time, the long hem plastered itself onto her legs, sealing her movement. Worse, as the maid dress reached her neck, she felt her throat squeezed, threatening to finish her in one move.
In less than five seconds, her maid dress turned into a wet suit, endangering her life.
Which still wasn\'t the worst, as Brandi felt her mana and blood being stirred by an extraordinary sealing concept that shouldn\'t be in the hands of someone as weak as Hunter…
Yet, the maid dress was this advanced piece of equipment… and soon, all her skills and schemes evaporated as though they never existed.
Sensing that toxins were escaping his body system, Hunter waited patiently to regain his freedom while keeping his gaze on Brandi\'s pale and horrified face.
As he could move just fine and confirmed that nothing jeopardized his life, Hunter turned his eyes to Nakisha and decided to ask her a few important questions first.
"What happened to you when I sealed you back in the forest?"
"Appeared in the silver desert… fought skeletons and tried climbing up the mountain a few times, only to give up as there\'s something pushing me off it. The first skeleton also dropped me this black maid dress in the beginning, which I didn\'t want to put until the situation forced me to. Wearing this dress makes me one of yours."
With a few more questions, Hunter could grasp the entire picture of Nakisha\'s life in the gray world.
Since time moved differently here, she spent years fighting nothing but skeletons, gnawing on their bones and trying something different. At some point, she really needed a break, so it wasn\'t that odd of her to try the maid outfit.
Looking at it from a different perspective, Hunter confirmed that his inheritance was helping his future.
Moreover, he already had some bonding with Nakisha before sealing appeared. There was a moment when both of them wanted to work together against humans… and the recent events just made it clear that she was on board with being under him.
On the other hand, Brandi\'s case was much different and less impactful.
"What are you going to do with her?" Nakisha asked as she felt the tense mood swirling around Hunter as he kept staring into Brandi\'s face.
It was honestly difficult to tell what he was thinking, and the same couldn\'t be said about Brandi\'s future.
What she did surely deserved death.
She schemed against Hunter while he was going through his blood test, then threatened to seal him in the gray world, which was even worse than death. With her toxins, she could really complicate Hunter\'s return to the mortal world and make him a prisoner of his own world!
"Mate?"
Deep inside, Nakisha didn\'t want Brandi to die… for various reasons. It would have been much better if Brandi became Hunter\'s slave just to preserve her life.
But what Hunter did next stupefied both Brandi and Nakisha…
…for he wished for the maid outfit to untie her and give her back freedom. Of course, some price had already been paid by her, as her body hurt and her breathing was rough, with countless questions and fears burdening her.
Hunter didn\'t go easy on Brandi, however.
In an instant, he encased himself in the black armor of the Dullahan race and extended his gauntlet forward.
"Stand up and fight me," Hunter flatly spoke, "I\'ll show you who\'s the master and the maid here. But in case you win against me, I\'ll unseal you. Don\'t worry about that."
-
Straining to stand up, Brandi didn\'t know what the hell occurred in Hunter\'s mind.
But she was more than willing to take this chance to escape this world.
Her eyes reflected Hunter\'s frame, which stood tall and strong, prepared to fight whenever she was ready.
Even though he was tired and far from his peak strength, with no blood ocean to refill his reserves, he still managed to appear like a harbinger of death, momentarily troubling Brandi\'s heart.
Which was only possible because it was his world… and that the maid dress made them equal!
Nonetheless, it was time to fight.
Brandi cast off all pointless impressions and screamed to the skies, "Virulent Zone!"
Unleashing a mini version of her domain because Hunter\'s maid dress hindered her strength, Brandi exuded purple clouds off her curves from head to toe, veiling herself in the purple smoke.
It billowed in all directions like a plague, washing over the Headless Deathless.
As he was devoured, Brandi became more convinced of her victory…
…for in this zone, she could limitlessly and without any obstacles send and maneuver her toxins. It was now easy to invade Hunter\'s system, make him breathe whatever she wanted, and stall him to her heart\'s content.
And even if her skills were heavily limited and some of them were locked, she could easily freeze and hurt him without even walking from her spot.
Which were things Brandi did.
First, she used the previous skill to freeze Hunter, not giving him a chance to come closer. Then, her toxins touched his nerve system, raising his pain sensor to unbelievable levels. Even a casual manly slap of a wronged househusband would hurt Hunter, making him believe a cannon exploded in his face.
But Brandi had more dangerous skills than a cannon up her sleeve.
Her toxins had finally started their offensive, drawing scalding bubbles on his skin. A weak blow would have been enough to burst them into agony, yet Brandi used her zone\'s poison to wash over his skin, instantaneously and mercilessly popping all blazing diseases, bathing Hunter in his blood.
Yet, he hadn\'t voiced any pain.
"Trying to stay cool and tough? Let\'s see how long you can endure this before falling to your knees!"
