Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Please take a seat."

Alice spoke without looking up at Luna who had just entered the cabin.

Luna also just nodded and moved towards the seat in front of Alice and sat there while also observing the cabin.

Both of them knew that the way Alice was treating Luna was just a small revenge for what Luna had done before (Chapter 46), and that is the reason why none of them said anything about that.

Luna then looked around the room and nodded inwardly when she didn't find Alex anywhere in the room.

She didn't know why, but she felt that she wouldn't have been able to work her plan out if Alex was there when they were talking.

Luna then looked at Alice again only to see her still looking through some documents while completely ignoring her presence.

Luna didn't mind though as she knew that it was just a game that Alice was playing to build up pressure and show that she was a very busy person.

But for Luna, this situation was better as she could use this situation to her advantage.

She started to use her skill, slowly filling the air with an odorless and colorless mist. Her skill was called "Compelling Mist", and it was an SSS-rank skill that was hidden from the world.

This was also the reason why she felt that she could defeat Stephan (When he still had his Skill) if he didn't attack her to finish the match in a single move.

The skill, "Compelling Mist" was a very dangerous mist as it worked on anyone that's living, be it a human or be it a beast. This skill has the ability that enables its user to hypnotize their enemy/ies.

Now, it's not simply hypnotizing as it works differently, it makes people enter a dream-like, drunken state where they would want to listen to only one person and that would be the user of the skill.

They would do whatever they are asked for even if it is to kill themselves.

But there are still limits as it doesn't work perfectly on people who have strong willpower, people with strong mental defense, or people with stronger mind-related abilities.

This ability releases a colorless and odorless gas from the countless pores on the user's body and lets it mix in air. The ability, however, has a range in which it works and the closer the enemy is the better it would work.

Right now, Alice was very close to Luna and Luna had time in her hands as well, which made it easier for her to get control over the situation.

She slowly and steadily released the gas into the air, and it started filling the room.

She knew how much gas it would take for an S-ranker to get controlled as she had been using the skill on many other S-rank raiders she visited the whole week.

She had visited the S-rank raiders as she promised, and she 'talked' about the compensation with them as the Auction House was the one that invited them. In the end, however, all of the S-rankers she visited somehow decided to not ask for any compensation.

It was all the magic of her ability as the longer her opponent inhaled the gas the better control she could have on them, she could even make them believe whatever she said.

If Luna told a guy or a girl under her control that they did something, they would accept that they did the said thing even when they were not in Luna's control anymore.

But this needed time and Luna will have to make her enemies inhale the gas for at least 10 minutes for that much control. However, again, there are limitations, as she can't use her skill on people with higher rank than her without being noticed.

Alice who had almost reached SS-rank in mana was also in that category, but Luna didn't know that and she thought that her plan was working, until….

"Ugh, W-what did you do....?" Alice held her head and grunted while looking at Luna.

She asked with some anger in her voice.

She already knew that Luna had some kind of controlling skill as Alex had informed her and they had planned to pull Luna into a trap, but she had to play her role for that.

Luna was surprised by Alice's response as she didn't expect Alice to be able to resist her skill, but then she scanned the room once again and relaxed on the chair.

"Hmmm, well, you are strong enough to resist my skill at low intensity, but do you think you will be able to do the same when I use it at its full power?"

Luna had already checked the room twice and she already knew that there were no cameras in the room, she also knew that Alice's room had sound insulation just like any other Guild master's so she didn't think there was any problem in telling Alice about her ability.

Luna knew that she just had to use her power at its maximum output, and she could control Alice like any other Raider, but she failed to notice Alice clicking a button below her desk while she tried to stand up from her chair only to fall down.

"You still being able to think straight is already a great achievement, yet you think you can still walk?"

Luna asked curiously as she looked at Alice but again, she failed to notice that even when Alice was sane, Alice was still not attacking her. If she focused on the fact then she could easily tell that it was either the case that Alice was just acting or Alice had some kind of plan in her mind.

It was not just that she couldn't notice these things, not at all.

It was just that she was not in her right mind right now, she was just feeling overconfident. She didn't know this but when she entered the Crimson Lotus building Alice was given an incense stick by Alex.

He also gave her a pill saying that she should keep it inside her mouth and burn the incense before Luna entered, and Alice did just that.

That incense is called "Hubris Haze", its smoke is fragrant and harmless to the body. Its main function is to increase the arrogance of the person inhaling it.

The pill that Alex gave Alice was an antidote for the incense.

Luna was unable to feel anything as the incense is not actually harmful to the body, instead, it is actually good as it heals the body slowly. But its drawback is that it increases the Arrogance of the one inhaling it 10 folds.

That's what was happening to Luna.

"Well, let's finish this."

Luna spoke and stood up as she got no response from Alice.

She used almost half of her mana to release the mist from her body and this time instead of being colorless it was pink, but before it could touch Alice or reach close to her, something shocking happened.
