From Imp to Demon God: Conquering the Demon World With a Succubus-Chapter 95: A Brand Templar’s Accussation
The Brand Templar said in a stern tone, "I have gathered thirteen out of fifteen Commander’s signatures to arrest Myles for the time being. He will be interrogated. Don’t worry, Commander. If he’s proven wrong, he’ll be free. If not, he’ll be reported to the headmaster."
The Commander of the Blood Knights was greatly startled.
He frowned.
He asked, "And why are you being hostile to me?"
The knight captain of the Brand Templar was taken aback. Without hesitation, he bowed and waited in silence.
The Commander of the Blood Knights turned around and waited for their Emperor’s instructions.
He thought Myles would invite the Brand Templar to enter, but he was pleasantly surprised to see him walking towards him and stopped beside him.
Myles asked, "And how do I prove myself that I’m innocent?"
The knight captain of the Brand Templar straightened his back and stared at Myles coldly.
He said, "If nothing goes wrong in the knight department while you’re under our watch."
Myles went quiet. He thought. As expected, they have now noticed my ability to enslave others. They’re not idiots, to begin with. It’s easy to assume that I have the ability to brainwash others, especially when I became the primary suspect to the death of the veil stalker.
Furthermore, there was also the rejection of the Commander of the Veil Stalker and the Blood Knights, too.
Myles heard that the brand templar received thirteen signatures out of fifteen commanders. In other words, the Commander of the Veil Stalker must have strongly rejected to sign.
It also meant that the Commander of the Veil Stalker, like the Commander of the Blood Knights, who were strongly suspicious of Myles that they acted on their own accord, has fallen into his what they believe unknown brainwashing ability.
In fact, it was not the Brand Templar who would keep watch of Myles, the Commander of Chain Knights were included, too.
After all, the sudden change of the Commander of the Veil Stalkers and the Blood Knights’ behavior only meant one thing—they were subdued when they acted independently just to prove their assumption that Myles was the primary suspect.
They were confident that Myles could not act where there were two Commanders around, unless the Commander of the Veil Stalkers and Blood Knights would act.
That was also why the other Commanders would observe and wary against the Commanders of the Veil Stalkers and Blood Knights, especially the former.
The Commander of the Night Templar was already using his own artifact just to observe the Commander of the Veil Stalkers’ ability.
The knight captain of the Brand Templar was confident of their commanders’ strategy. They would definitely expose Myles of his secrets.
After all, he was the primary suspect.
If it was only because Myles killed a Veil Stalker, the commanders wouldn’t have gone to such length just to prove him guilty.
However, the fact that the Commander of the Blood Knights and the Veil Stalkers, the one who strongly suggested that Myles was the primary suspect, when they acted on their own accord to prove they were right suddenly changed their mind and excuse reasons that seemed absurd had inevitably raised the commanders’ attention.
The knight captain of the brand templars and night templars sensing the strange but powerful demonic energy wave coming from the dormitory of the blood knights also strengthened their suspicions on Myles.
Myles was also aware of his mistakes. However, he did not dwell on it anymore and decided to play along with the commanders’ strategy against him.
He knew that he was still in the advantage, as long as he continued to buy some time until they finally fell to his grasp.
He walked forward towards the knight captain of the brand templar and touched his shoulder, performing the Commander Brand on Myles.
Myles was stunned that the soul-burning sigil produced from the demonic energy of the brand templar began to spread around his body.
The voice in his head echoed in his mind.
[It has been detected that a law of marking is spreading on your body. It’s slowly affecting your body and mind. If you don’t fight against it, the sigil will stick and burn your soul if it senses a slight disobedience.
If you want to prevent it, resist and kill the demon who has this innate ability.]
Myles was stunned. He had forgotten about the innate ability of the Brand Templars. So, I have to resist? After all, soul damage will be difficult to recover from.
As though reading his thoughts, the voice in his head echoed.
[Warning! You only have five seconds to decide. If you don’t resist, you will be obedient to the brand templar and the demon he serves—if you won’t, your soul will be damaged and perhaps collapsed.
The Ancient Demon of Glutonny expressed his clarification that it would be difficult to heal from the soul damage. Furthermore, the Command Brand, once stuck to your soul, would also affect your mind and body like a parasite.] 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Myles sighed. I get it now. I have to get rid of this.
Without hesitation, Myles grabbed the hand of the Brand Templar and pushed it away from his shoulder.
He said, "I don’t think there’s a need for this."
Myles didn’t want to use his shadow threads outside of the dormitory room. His guts were telling him that someone was observing him.
If he would subdue and enslave the Brand Templar right now, then he would expose himself into danger.
The knight captain of the Brand Templar was stunned. His face contorted into anger and shouted.
"So, you really are being disobedient! You don’t follow the will of the Demon King!"
"I follow the will of the Demon King, and I’m obedient to my master, a succubus. Why would I be here in the first place if I’m being disobedient?" Myles sharply rebuked.
"It’s fine for you to suspect me, but to use the Command Brand on me? Your fellow knight?
Are you disrespecting me?"
