Chapter 107: Trying to Control Fiona

Reiner chanted the incantation and felt a burning sensation in his palm.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a black pattern appear in his palm.

The pattern kept changing shape according to whatever he thought of.

At times it became an animal, at others a plant.

Elyanna widened her eyes, muttering as she watched, “Reiner, you can’t be human…”

“There you go insulting me again; you’re the one who’s not human, I’m just a bit talented.”

Elyanna narrowed her eyes, studied Reiner carefully and said, “You can use wind, water, lightning, earth, and fire, and now even the light and dark spells that belong only to elves; is that all a coincidence?”

Reiner nodded. “Probably.”

Then he looked at the pact mark on his hand and said to Elyanna, “How about… you let me dominate you for a moment so we can run a test?”

Elyanna’s little face collapsed, and she raised her staff to whack him.

But Reiner easily blocked the blow with a barrier.

“If you bully me, I’ll tell my mom and you’ll be finished!” Elyanna threatened.

Reiner teased, “Typical kid, always dragging her mom into everything.”

Elyanna puffed up in anger.

She cursed Reiner viciously, slammed the door, and left.

Reiner hurried over, grabbed her, and said, “Don’t go, I was wrong, I won’t make you angry again.”

Elyanna snorted softly, returned to the room, and sat on the bed.

“Teacher Elyanna, explain exactly how to use this domination magic.”

“Set the rules in your mind, use it on yourself once first, and then on the target.”

“Compared with that slaver’s stamp, the domination magic I taught you is far more flexible and convenient.”

“Then how do I nullify the current contract?”

“Take Nora for example: wash your own pact mark with Dark element; as the master in the contract you just cancel it unilaterally, Nora’s mark will disappear, and you simply stamp a new one, that’s all.”

“Could you be more specific; what does wash mean?”

“Since you can use domination magic, you should feel the Dark element flowing inside you, right?”

“Of course.”

“Gather that Dark element beneath the pact mark you want to erase; it will burn the mark away quickly, you can practice on Nora.”

“If I fail, there won’t be any side effects, right?”

Elyanna shook her head. “It just won’t work, nothing else will happen.”

Reiner thought for a moment and gave up on the idea.

But he could practice on Fiona.

“Go downstairs; if Fiona wakes up, call her up for me.”

“I don’t speak Orcish,” Elyanna replied helplessly.

“Just holler for me.”

“Fine.”

Elyanna trudged downstairs.

A few minutes later she shouted, “She’s awake!”

Reiner switched to Orcish and yelled, “Fiona, come up here, I need to see you.”

Before long she pushed the door open and stood respectfully before Reiner.

“Is the dizziness better?”

“Much better, I can walk on my own now; after a bit more rest I’ll be completely fine,” Fiona answered, holding her forehead.

Reiner patted the edge of the bed. “Sit.”

Fiona sat obediently and looked at Reiner with tired eyes.

Reiner first erased the pact mark on himself, then formed a fang-shaped pattern in his palm.

Following Elyanna’s instructions, he pressed it on himself once, then said to her, “I’m going to give you a new pact mark; you decide where it should go.”

Fiona paused, apparently hesitating.

After thinking for a long time, she slowly untied the cloth around her waist and lifted the corner of her thick wool shirt.

“It doesn’t matter; I’m not an attractive female anyway,” Fiona sighed, turning her face to the side, “Since you’re not interested in me, there’s no reason to guard myself…”

What long legs she had.

She was nothing like those broad-shouldered, thick-waisted, muscular beastwomen.

She possessed Nora’s delicate softness and Martina’s voluptuous curves, a near-perfect blend.

Half a year ago Reiner would definitely have had a nosebleed at such a scene.

But the alternating training from Martina and Nora over the past months had turned him into a man of firm will.

Faced with this temptation, he did not even blink.

Reiner said sincerely, “You are as beautiful as an emerald.”

Fiona blushed.

It was obvious she had little resistance to cheesy compliments.

She averted her eyes and replied with mild annoyance, “Stop joking; if my tribesmen heard that, they’d laugh their heads off.”

“I’m not joking; you may not even realize your own charm,” Reiner said, leaning in to look at the pact mark on her before adding, “Now I want to test the effect of the new pact mark.”

Fiona nodded. “Go ahead.”

With a thought from Reiner, Fiona shivered under the command and collapsed limply onto the bed.

He wanted to gauge the strength of the domination magic, so he put on a mischievously sinister look and slowly approached her.

“Reiner… what… what are you going to do?”

“Take a guess.”

Fiona parted her lips, looked at Reiner pitifully, and clutched her clothes tighter. “I… I agreed to the contract, but not for something this silly, please don’t…”

Reiner closed in, gently pinched her cheek, and said, “The contract is signed, so final interpretation is mine! Heh-heh-heh!”

Fiona lay there as if resigned to her fate, muttering, “Fine, if it’s my lord Reiner, I guess I’m willing…”

???

“You could at least resist a little; I’m testing here.”

“I tried; I can’t fight it, my dark magic is gone, just do it…”

Seeing things take a strange turn, Reiner released the control.

Fiona returned to normal, covered her chest, and a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed across her face.

She muttered, “As expected, no male will ever like me; even if I lie still, they still won’t touch me.”

…

After thinking for a moment, Reiner replied, “You’re very pretty; other people just don’t appreciate it, but as a gourmet I can spot your charm at a glance.”

Fiona shifted to the side and whispered, “Reiner, you’re teasing me again.”

No sooner had she spoken than two familiar coughs sounded behind them.

“Ahem, ahem!”

He slowly turned his head and saw four people peeking through the crack in the door…
