Chapter 497: Aldrian’s Order
Hearing Aldrian’s threat, he felt a chill run through him and instinctively used his energy to form a layer of clothing over his body. Although it wasn’t real attire, it was enough to keep himself covered. His head still throbbed from the sudden, piercing pain that had struck his soul. He didn’t know why, but he felt certain Aldrian had caused it, leaving him slightly shaken.
What he had just experienced was a level of pain unlike anything before—agony that struck directly at his soul, the kind of pain that could be fatal to anyone.
"Well, that’s fine too. Now that you’ve become my slave, you’ll be helping me from now on."
Joon Suk couldn’t help but frown slightly at Aldrian’s words. A slave?
Unconsciously, anger flared within him—but before it could build, the pain in his soul returned without warning. His body convulsed, his energy faltering, and the conjured attire dissolved as he lost control of the energy flow. The agony overwhelmed everything.
The pain was so intense, he forgot his anger entirely. After several seconds that felt like an eternity, it finally ceased. He gasped for breath, lying exhausted on the floor, cold sweat streaming down his face.
Aldrian watched in silence, making no move to intervene. The Everlasting Demonic Follower had done its work.
The moment a slave harbored even the faintest negative intent toward their master, the seal embedded in their soul would put the slave in their place.
"If you don’t want to feel that pain again, don’t even think ill of your master. The seal inside your soul will teach you a lesson the moment you do," Aldrian said calmly.
Joon Suk gritted his teeth. Once again, fury and humiliation stirred within him—but as soon as the pain threatened to return, he forced himself to suppress those feelings. The pain faded just as quickly.
He exhaled in relief, breathing steadily for a few seconds before channeling his energy to clothe himself once more. Then he sat down, facing Aldrian, and look at the man who had become the hottest topic across the continent more seriously.
