Single Stat System

Chapter 69: Slaves

Going back to where Sakim was...

Sakim crouched down as he fed the Blood Manipulator Pill to the crimson-haired woman named Kristina who had her body became dry. After feeding the pill, he didn't waste any more time as he retrieved a certain amount of stolen HP from his Stolen Inventory. Or to put it more correctly, it was the HP he had stolen from her.

The stolen HP was in the form of a small ball of blood enough for his hand to grab it. He put it just above the mouth of Kristina of whose mouth was opened by Sakim's left hand. After which, he squished the ball of blood resting on his right hand as blood flowed down to her mouth.

Kristina suddenly gained strength as her eyes widened uncontrollably. Her dry skin had slowly turned smooth and rosy as it appeared that life was now coming back at her.

But it appeared as well that she was thirsting for more blood flowing in her mouth. That said, seeing that the blood flowing down to her mouth had stopped, she quickly grabbed Sakim's hand and put it in her mouth. With a bite, she sucked Sakim's blood itself as it appeared that it was more delicious than what she had tasted before.

"What the hell are you doing?" However, as Kristina was still enjoying her meal, she suddenly heard a cold voice around. She was snapped awake as she had just realized what she'd done.

Immediately, she released the hand of Sakim from her mouth. In no time at all, she got up from the blue-haired woman's lap as she kneeled in front of Sakim and apologized, "I'm sorry for my rude behavior. Please punish me!"

It was not as if she didn't know what was happening around her while she was in a helpless state. Knowing the formidable power of Sakim, and knowing as well about the pill she had just swallowed, she didn't dare to anger the other party even by her thought.

Sakim stared at her nonchalantly. Although the other party really acted so suddenly, it was not as if it harmed him in any way. Yes, she had bitten his hand and sucked his blood. But instead of feeling the pain he was expecting, he felt only a little pain as he felt as well that he was just bestowing some kind of power to her which he also felt that it was beneficial to the both of them.

That said, Sakim wasn't angry at the other party. He could only sigh deeply as he said, "Forget it. Just hurry up and stand up the both of you."

"Yes!" The two women replied. They didn't dare to be slow as they immediately stood up straight. Even though they were still resentful towards Sakim for making them as a slave, that was only in their mind. But in their heart, perhaps it was because of the Blood Manipulator Pill they swallowed, it seemed like they were starting to accept him unaware of it. With pleasure.

"What's your name?" Sakim stared at the two of them and asked.

"I am Kristina, master." The crimson-haired woman bowed her head and replied respectfully.

"My name is Izel, master." The blue-haired woman replied with the respect that didn't pale in comparison to Kristina.

"Hmmm..." Sakim nodded his head as he said, "But don't call me master. Just call me by my name."

"This..." Izel and Kristina exchanged looks before Izel turned back her gaze at Sakim and responded, "But if we call you by your name, you will reveal to the world that you are the Vessel of the Greed sin. Is that fine?"

"Oh..." Sakim also realized this as he said, "Fine, call me whatever you want. In any case, you two hold these for a moment."

After which, Sakim retracted two pieces of equipment from his Stolen Inventory and gave one to each of them. It was a dagger and a shirt.

"What's this?" The two were bewildered as they held the items given by their master. But after a moment, especially Izel who was holding the shirt, had her eyes widened in surprise upon seeing its stats. "Legendary equipment with special attribute!"

"What?!" Kristina who only had an orange item (Epic rank), shifted her gaze at her friend wondering if she was just joking. But seeing the seriousness on her face, she also touched the item and said, "Let me see."

[Dancing Wind]

Movement speed: +5.8%

Dodge: +7.9%

Wind Dance (Special) - For 30 seconds, increase the Movement speed by 2,900 and Dodge chance by 29%. (Cooldown: 30 hours)

"Wait, this is..." Dancing Wind? Kristina seemed to recognize this item as she frowned. She couldn't remember where and when but she was certain that she had already seen this item before. And the same went for Izel. She just realized that this item was somewhat familliar to her.

"!"

But then, before either of them could even think more of it and remember clearly, a gust of wind suddenly tried to push them away. Accompanied by it was a strong presence of someone releasing a cold voice as soon as he arrived, "What the hell is happening here?"

Izel and Kristina shifted their gaze in front of them as there they saw a man clad in a bandit costume. Julius? Both of them recognized the other party. And their heart skipped a beat as their eyes had immediately widened in shock. If this was before, then they would surely be jumping in joy now seeing his arrival. But now that they had just turned into slaves, they had this complicated look in their eyes. Just what should they do now?

On the other hand, Sakim smiled now that this man finally arrived. It was as if he was expecting the other party to come at that moment.

Removing the smile surfacing on his lips, Sakim then turned around and faced the other party with a natural calmness on his face.

"Is he your friend?" Sakim asked the two women as if he didn't know anything about him at all. He even had his eyes showing the hint of shock upon looking at the man who had just arrived. As if he was amazed by the formidable aura leaking out from the other party.

But then, he was truly amazed by it. This guy was definitely so much stronger than anyone he had met before. Even by the way he stood up, he seemed as if on guard at any possible threat in his surroundings. Surely, dealing with this guy was way more troublesome than anything he had dealt with before.
