Adrius watched as Illyan was doing the task he gave her. She has become more obedient after he used a Slave of love on her. He didn't think the ring artifact that he got from Emilia would benefit him this much.

Of course if an official magus scanned Illyan then they would find the magic, but if someone is still an apprentice, then they could only dream of discovering it. Mostly because the magic is imprinted in the soul and also Adrius is now a rank 3 magus apprentice. So not a lot of people can threaten him.

‘ Now I do have 30 magic points, that means I need ten more to be qualified to enter the official magus realm. But I don’t have the most important thing, a meditation technique. I need to find one and I need to find it fast.’ Adrius noticed that his cultivation is a lot faster than the others, and he truly understood how important the magical talent is. The other people that came with him to the academy 2 years ago are still rank 1 or rank 2. The only people that have reached rank 3 from their batch were him and some other dude called Doran. The rumors say that Doran has a rank 5 talent, so his cultivation is faster than Adrius and every other student in their batch.

Adrius himself has a rank 4 talent and in 2 years he achieved rank 3 magus apprentice. But Adrius actually credited The soul eating method for his rapid rise in power.

As for Doran, Adrius didn’t know anything about him. The man was very mysterious, he didn't talk with anyone except his fellow apprentices at his master.

From what he heard Doran is studying Necromancy, the first time Adrius heard that there is Necromancy in this world he wanted to learn it. Why wouldn’t you want an army of undead. But then he understood that Necromancy in the magus world is not raising the dead and making them your army. But Necromancy in the magus world is the term called to the studies of death and souls.

A necromancer can still use the souls to attack a person, but it is not as cool as an undead army. So Adrius dropped the Necromancy subject immediately.

Yes knowledge is power, and this sentence has actually weight in the magus world. But he was already very well versatile in soul research. After all, he has spent over 3 months studying souls.

So you could say he was one of the most knowledgeable apprentices on souls, after all he fixed his soul scared soul. Thinking about his scared soul, his mind drifted to an old friend he has not seen for some time.

He looked at Illyan who was still working on cleaning his lab: “ Illyan, open that shelf and you will find a box. Bring it to me”

Adrius was honestly disturbed by the looks Illyan gave him when he said her name. It was like she reached an orgasim by just him saying her name. ‘Magic is a weird thing. Thank the universe that Emillia didn’t use this magic on me. Thank God she was already using it on someone and couldn’t use it on my or her soul would have crumbled’

He has discovered that a mortal can only take one slave and if they take more, then their soul crumbles. It is different for apprentices, apprentices souls are usually stronger than mortals.

And Adrius is a special case, his soul is from another world. So it has traveled all the way to this world and bypassed The World’s Consciousness. So it is stronger than the normal souls. Making A slave of love a perfect artifact for him.

Illyan didn’t take too long, and when she brought the box to him she went back to her task.

Adrius took out a knife out of a secret pocket in the sofa he usually sits on, and cut across his finger. Then he dropped the blood in the box, the box absorbed the blood and then it clicked and opened.

Inside the box were three glowing spheres, they glowed with a white light that would blind a mortal if it was visible to them.

When Adrius finished opening the box the shouting and cursing began.

“Adrius Caseo I swear by my family name I will come back and kill you in the worst way possible, you used an old man to kill me. Me the great Oliver the mouthless. You have no honor”

“ Adrius, please let me live, I only wanted to control you so I could have you for myself. Please I love you”

“You fucking imposter, get out of my body!”

Adrius looked at the 3 souls in his possessions, they were Oliver’s, Emillia’s and finally the original Adrius.

He started to answer them one by one: “ First of all Oliver, did you just now find out I had no honor? I mean my whole reputation is built on my amoral and dishonorable actions. As for the old man bit, that was actually Magus Lafaz, the patriarch of this academy. As for you Emillia, drop the bullshit. You wanted to control me so you would have more power. And you don’t love only use.

As for you Addi, No! I will not give you your body back , I told you a thousand times that this is my body now. Also congratulations, I have gotten news from your family that you have a new little brother. Crispin is his name. He is 1 years old now I guess. So I will have fun with Crispin when I fulfil my promise to you, remember my promise?” Smirked Adrius, he was not wearing his mask at the moment because it is not necessary. He can delete Illyan’s memory easily. Those 3 are dead.

The original Adrius started to scream higher in Xyron: “ No No, please don’t kill them please. They didn’t do anything to you. Please, kill me instead. Don’t hurt my family please”

Adrius smirked: “ Oh, Addi, backing on my words will be very damaging to my business. And don’t worry, it will be quick I promise. Also I’m tired of the name Caseo, it is not even pleasant to hear. And the world doesn’t need such a name. As for Crispin, don’t worry about him. He will have the honor to be a test subject to The Dark Eyed Demon.”

With that he closed the box before Original Adrius tried to beg. He called for Illyan and she took it to put it back in its place.

Adrius relaxed on his sofa, sometimes he liked being a piece of shit. It made life more interesting.
