Twisted

Staring at the red hickey on Ighor's forehead, which was quickly submerging itself in him, Beatrice couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

Suddenly, Ighor opened his eyes, getting up from the coffin.

"Ighor, you know what you need to do, right?" asked Selena as she stared at her servant, causing Ighor to slightly nod.

"Yes mistress," said Ighor as he suddenly walked out of the room.

Staring at Ighor who was walking out of the room without any trace of free will left inside of him, Beatrice couldn't help but turn to her teacher.

"Teacher, are you sure he's fully controlled? If so, why didn't you do that to the other ones," asked Beatrice as she got up, no longer sitting down on her chair.

"Don't worry he's fully controlled," said Selena, not answering Beatrice's second question.

"Understood, then I will go back now," said Beatrice before also walking out of the room.

...

As Beatrice walked inside of her room, she couldn't help but fall into thought.

"Elias, make me a cup of tea," said Beatrice as she sat down at her desk, staring into the wall in front of her with a frown on her face.

Whilst Elias was making the tea, Beatrice began thinking.

'It seems as though Mages are not as easily controlled as I thought,' thought Beatrice as she tapped her fingers on her desk.

Contrary to Beatrice's expectations, it seemingly took her teacher some effort to control True Mages, completely differently from what Beatrice had thought was true in the past.

As Elias walked towards Beatrice with a cup of tea in his hands, he suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart.

After Elias handed Beatrice the tea, he simply stood there, waiting for her orders.

"Elias."

"What is it, mistress?"

"Kill yourself,"

After only a moment of hesitation, Elias suddenly took out a pen from his pocket and brutally stabbed it toward his neck.

Suddenly, Elias lost control of his body as Beatrice controlled it, preventing him from committing suicide.

Staring at Elias who was frozen in place, a cold look appeared on Beatrice's face.

"For a moment, you hesitated," bluntly said Beatrice, causing Elias to suddenly freeze.

"I ordered you to do something, and you hesitated, is that something my servant should be doing?" asked Beatrice as she stared at Elias.

"No, mistress," said Elias as he began slightly shaking.

"Then why did you do it? Why did you hesitate? Do you value your life more than my orders?" asked Beatrice as she looked at Elias.

"No, mistress," said Elias, causing Beatrice's frown to deepen.

"If no, then answer my question, why did you hesitate?" asked Beatrice, causing Elias to no longer respond, merely sitting there in silence.

"Elias, you are now prohibited from refining mana, give me your hand," said Beatrice, prompting Elias to take a step towards Beatrice and stretch out his hand towards her.

...

At this moment, Selena was walking down a hallway, with Ighor following behind her, when she suddenly stopped.

Hearing the screams of agony, which were coming from Beatrice's room, Selena couldn't help but shake her head.

"Ighor, have you prepared your three former companions for my arrival?" asked Selena, causing Ighor to slightly shake, especially when he heard the word 'companion'.

The moment Ighor heard those words, the scene of Daniel stabbing a knife into his brain couldn't help but flash before his eyes, causing anger to arise from within him.

"Yes mistress, they are ready for your care, but sadly, it seems as though Daniel is not very cooperative," said Ighor, causing a small smile to appear on Selena's face.

"Don't worry, I expected that already, since he doesn't want to cooperate, he can only be put to good use somewhere else," said Selena as she opened a certain door and stared inside.

Staring at Daniel's mutilated body, which was clearly still alive, a small smile couldn't help but appear on Selena's face.

"You go call my disciple here, she's more suitable to help me," said Selena, causing Daniel to suddenly raise his head, staring straight into her eyes.

"Kill me."

"No, at least not yet," said Selena, bluntly responding to Daniel question, causing him to once again lower his head.

...

"Teacher, what do I need to do?" asked Beatrice as she turned her attention to Daniel, who right now was being tied to a table.

"You should use pour as much of your mana as possible into this guy's body, don't try to do anything else, just pour as much in as you can," said Selena as she handed three mana potions over to Beatrice.

Hearing her teacher's words, Beatrice couldn't help but fall into thought as she moved towards Daniel.

'Teacher should be able to use her mana to do the same thing that I'm about to do, why doesn't she do it herself,' thought Beatrice as placed her hand on the face of the unconscious Daniel.

Suddenly, Selena appeared next to Beatrice, stretching out her hand and pouring a grey potion into Daniel's mouth.

The moment, Selena poured the potion, Beatrice suddenly began feeling as if Daniel's skin was slightly moving.

"You can begin now," said Selena as she began closely staring at Daniel.

Over a minute passed in silence, nothing was seemingly happening whilst Beatrice was pouring her mana into Daniel.

Over a minute into the procedure, Daniel's face suddenly began uncontrollably morphing, as he suddenly turned red and caught on fire.

Thankfully though, this fire did not last long as he once again began morphing but this time, in a completely different way.

As Beatrice poured her mana into Daniel, she couldn't help but feel some horror in her heart.

'That potion...'

Staring at the leg, which had emerged from Daniel's stomach, as well as the head which had grown from his thigh, Beatrice couldn't help but feel rather fascinated.

Time passed, and as Beatrice poured more and more mana into Daniel, his body became more and more twisted, more and more monstrous.
