Chapter 141: Enough!
’Don’t get anywhere near her!’ Tiamat warned urgently, and Christopher froze in his tracks, sensing the immense danger.
The Fox stood up from its throne, its crimson eyes now locked intently on Christopher.
***And what do you think, insignificant human? Perhaps you would like to provide me with some actual amusement.***
The fox casually pointed a golden claw towards the unmoving form of Phoenix on the ground.
***Rise, my new slave, and demonstrate your loyalty by killing this other human!***
Christopher’s blood ran cold at the Fox’s words. His gaze dropped to Phoenix, and his eyes widened in disbelief as he saw her body begin to stir. Before his very eyes, and Tiamat’s awareness, Phoenix slowly rose from the ground, her flaming sword still clutched in her hand. But her eyes... her once vibrant eyes were now glowing with the same eerie crimson light as the Fox’s. Her gaze, devoid of any recognition, locked onto Christopher, radiating pure, unadulterated killing intent.
’That isn’t her... She is being manipulated, a victim of powerful mind control,’ Tiamat explained grimly.
"I can see that!" Christopher spat out, his fists clenching involuntarily.
***Kill him.***
The Fox commanded, its voice echoing with malevolent authority. And with terrifying speed, Phoenix shot forward, her flaming sword aimed directly at Christopher, her movements fueled by an unnatural, sinister purpose.
