Supreme Monarch

"Greater Magic - Revivify. Max Magic - Heal."

Without missing a beat, Tyler promptly cast two spells simultaneously. The first was a restoration and resurrection spell that cost him 100 ingots of rare metal to activate, in this case, gold. Immediately following that, he cast the highest grade healing spell he knew at the gaping hole in Misty's chest.

The first spell was to keep her body alive even in such a critical state as the spell 'Revivify' was a necromancy class spell that could actually resurrect any dead creature to life with the lowest possible vitality. Thereby keeping them alive no matter the fatality of the wound they had sustained beforehand.

However, the spell would only work if cast within the first minute of death and would not consume any soul energy. However, the spell provided no healing effects and if immediate medical aid was not provided after a certain period of time, the revived creature would eventually die again from whatever killed it the first time.

The spell also uses a decent amount of negative energy and wasn't suitable for being used multiple times on a single being. After all, this was only. 3rd Tier spell and Tyler only intended to use it as a life support system.

Hence the reason for the second spell.

Following a gentle burst of negative energy, a pure radiance embraced the dark elf's entire body and filled her with rejuvenating energy.

In the next moment, a new heart began to form inside her chest as new flesh and bones were restored around it and before her body could even realize she had died, the new heart had been completed and her body's functions simply continued as though nothing had happened.

Even her mind had failed to process the information fast enough as she had just stared at Tyler with a shocked expression. Even after she had finally snapped out of her dazed and saw a still beating heart in the hand of the demon crouching in front of her, she could not possibly imagine that it was her very own heart up until a moment ago.

Tyler on the other hand, felt a chill run down his spine as he could still feel the heart in his hand beating which was extremely weird for someone like him who had never been to medical school.

However, he didn't want to appear uncool so he steeled himself and stared seriously at the still pulsating heart in his hand as he scanned it with his Magic vision and the Keen eyes of a Demon.

His pupils changing colors ranging from red to yellow before returning back to its natural state as Tyler completed his scan.

As expected, a near invisible black chain was wrapped around the heart and not even Albert and Bones could see it. The black chains slowly moved on their own as they tightened their grip on the heart and in the next moment.

*Splat!

This was the reason why the dark elves— despite being treated as trash, toys, and considered inferior lifeforms — remained loyal to the noble families as they could not betray the family even if they wanted to. Such was the consequences of their actions.

Those black chains were known as the chains of slavery and would be passed down from generation to generation. It originated from a powerful blood contract between the very first dark elves that had escaped from the elven continent.

'Damn... talk about not having a break.'

[Notice: Chains of Submission detected.

The chain of submission is an 8th-tier spell that binds the souls of the targets and their entire generation to the user and their descendants. This was an incredibly powerful blood contract that can only be nullified after the true death of the victims.]

'Is that so, only by true death?'

[Yes. Destroying the heart itself would not be enough to break the curse as the chains would return to the new heart of the victim as long as their souls remain in this plane. In order to break the spell, Master must completely erase the spell itself and not just the heart.]

'I see. So that's why they are unable to escape even after so long.'

As Tyler stared at the squashed heart in his hand, he quickly activated a restoration spell on it and it quickly returned to normal. The chains of slavery then slowly reappeared around it.

Apparently, the chains would destroy this heart as it had been separated from its host before reappearing back inside Misty. This meant Tyler needed to figure out a way to get rid of the spell itself before the heart in his hands completely died out.

Considering how insanely potent the original 8th tier spell appears to be, destroying the spell was something that was easier said than done.

'Still, if this curse is hereditary, why didn't I sense it from Rain?'

[The chains of submission seem to have been destroyed in miss Rain. Most likely by pure coincidence or by accident due to the various experiments conducted on her to implant her soul with an incomplete innate ability.]

'So it was because of that. How unsettling.'

Returning his attention to the heart in his hands, Tyler could see the chains attempting to destroy the heart once more so it could return to its host and couldn't allow that to happen at all cost.

?Black Flames?

With only a thought, black flames erupted on the heart still in his hand as they consumed everything they touched, reducing the chains and even the heart to absolute nothingness.

A dumbfounded expression was plastered on Misty's face as her mind could barely comprehend what had just happened. Unlike Rain, she was well aware of the fate of her race and what happens to all those that even thought of betraying the family. fre𝑒𝘸𝚎𝚋n૦ѵℯl.c𝒐𝘮

Such a fate was inescapable even when the elf attempted to defect to another Great Family. Yet, without even breaking a sweat, this man had completely destroyed the chains that held her down all these years.

Misty slowly touched her chest as she felt her heartbeat no longer being hampered by the chains of slavery. Misty's eyes watered as her mind became overwhelmed with emotions. Emotions she had almost completely forgotten she had.

'What is this feeling...'

As she desperately tried to come to grips with her own emotions, Tyler stood back up and walked towards the entrance of the cell as he spoke:

"Now then, we're done here. Albert."

"Yes my lord."

"Show her to a room in the servant's quarters and observe how she interacts with the others."

"As you wish."

"Oh and, get her some clothes."

Hearing those words, it didn't take long for her mind to comprehend what he meant as Misty finally realize that she was completely naked in front of this man all along and her entire body practically glowed bright red for some unknown reason. It wasn't like she wasn't used to being naked in from of men by now so she could barely understand why she was so embarrassed and ashamed right now.

Perhaps this was also his doing as she couldn't even bring herself to look him

in the eyes. In front of him, something just felt different and she couldn't help herself from being flustered.

Tyler hadn't even noticed her reaction as he was already walking out of the cell as he spoke and casually left the cell. He then moved onto the next cell, where another naked lady with multicolored hair lay on the bed in the same condition as Misty had been when he had first entered this place.

Tyler casually walked inside the cell and repeated the same process as he had gone through with Misty. He first used purification to erase the negative corruption that plagued her before proceeding to deep dive into her mind using Mind Manipulation after sending her consciousness deep into her soul.

Next, he speed ran through her memories but unlike with Misty, there wasn't anything he needed to learn about the Zorak family as Z had already provided him with everything he needed to handle them. That was why he had chosen to become a merchant in Winged city in the first place.

He was simply going through her memories in an effort to be thorough so he would have all the information about her character needed to conduct and observe his mind experiments on her.

However, having gone through the entire life of this girl. You would expect Tyler to grow attached or feel empathy for her. Yet, the only thing Tyler had felt was disgust.

He had never imagined that such a twisted being could be born in a person from childhood, but even though being in this girl's head irritated him a lot. Such a complete degenerate would be the perfect test subject for his more extreme sub-skills of Mind manipulation.

To start with, Tyler used 'Mind Break, and completely destroyed the mind he was currently in as he washed everything come crashing down on him.

However, in the next moment, he used, 'Mind Restoration' and the world of memories around him began to repair itself.

'Well I'm glad that worked. She would've become a vegetable otherwise. This will is surely to come in handy in the future.

Tyler thought as he waited for her mind to finish repairing itself. He then proceeded to test out all his ideas and theories on her mind as he fabricated new memories while deleting some old ones.

He found himself able to adjust her instincts and interest as he completely turned her from an eccentric antisocial psychopath to a more tamed bookworm. Or at least that was the idea, as her change was a complete 180, he had no idea what would happen next.

Unlike Misty, Tyler confirmed that there weren't any chains of submission bounding thus girl to the Zorak family but as a behemoth, she had simply been hired by them and quickly became part of their elite force alongside her now dead husband.

After what seemed like hours of work, Tyler ended the activation of his skill and left the world of her mind as her consciousness returned to her body.

Immediately, her entire frame began to tremble as she had also gone into shock due to the sudden alterations in her mind.

'I guess the only way to go about this would be to take my time making minor tweaks here and there. What a shame.'

Tyler thought as he watched the naked body of this crazy girl convulse violently before her mind went completely blank and she died of shock. Even as life was snuffed out in front of his eyes, the only thing he could think of was that.

'Uh, her boobs are quite small aren't they? No wonder she's crazy. Wait?... that doesn't make sense...'

Having been distracted for a moment, Tyler suddenly snapped back to reality as Brethal's body stopped shaking. He then used resurrection on her and the same thing that happened to Misty happened to her as her soul energy became weaker.

"Hm... err... Master, is that you?"

As the life returned to the multicolored-haired girl's face, her eyes slowly opened as she turned to look at Tyler and spoke gently, unlike her usual tone and personality as Tyler had seen in her head.

'I suppose this is one way to go about this.'

While it seemed as though he could easily manipulate people's minds so extensively as long as he could resurrect them to eliminate the side effect, things usually weren't so easy.

For instance, it had taken a while to break the wills of these girls enough that he wouldn't experience any resistance as the slightest resistance could create a mental block that he would not be able to get rid of.

Still, these results were satisfactory enough as this was not something he planned on using often. It was something that would only be effective against certain opponents so it wasn't worth the risk unless he used a tool to achieve the same results.

'Well whatever.'

After staring at a docile Brethal for a while, Tyler asked Albert to also provide her with a new set of clothing. He had no idea what to do with her but given as she was a demigod, she would surely have her use.

However, the fact that she was a demigod was what he was worried of. Her mind had been more difficult to break but given as Z had done a good job traumatizing her, he was able to easily manipulate her mind but he had no idea if she would be able to break free from the path he had set up for her on her own.

Tyler thought deeply about the issue for a moment before settling on what to do about it. He then gave some more instructions to Albert and Bones before swiftly leaving the miniature dungeon and heading towards the south wing with intentions.

Thanks to Ferlis and his surprise invitation, Tyler now had a lot of work on his plate before he would head out to Winged city tomorrow. He needed to find a way to establish a connection between Paragon's city's merchant Guild and the other Merchant Guilds in the demon continent.
