Bow or Die

Rose's glossy black hair fluttered in the wind, adding another level of charm to her demonic appearance. Her silky smooth pale skin seemed filled with strange allure; her crimson eyes had a playful look in them as she intently stared at Gray's face.

Gray slowly turned his head in her direction and silently looked at her for a good minute.

Rose looked slightly intrigued by his gaze. Unlike all the gazes that were filled with uncontrollable lust or possessive desires, the gaze of the blonde-haired young man was filled with annoyance.

Neither Gray nor Rose took the initiative to speak, but they silently looked into each other's eyes without blinking.

Just as the situation was about to turn completely awkward, Gray opened his mouth and said in a cold voice, "If you want to kill me then do it, but don't follow me around like a fucking creep."

Gray was greatly annoyed by her sudden appearance and disappearance; it felt as if she was playing with him.

If the woman in front of him thought that he would act like a dog and wag his tail just to please her...

He was someone who wanted to live like an emperor, not someone who cowered in fear in front of a strong opponent.

Although Gray knew he had taken a huge risk by provoking the mysterious woman, this was something that needed to be done.

He had to absolutely check her attitude and limits; otherwise, the situation would become even more complicated and dangerous.

This was just the start. As time passed, more and more of his secrets would be revealed if she always kept her eyes on him.

"How arrogant."

"You, a mixed-breed dog, dare to talk in such a tone." Rose spoke, the expression on her face barely seemed to have changed, remaining as playful as before, but her eyes were completely different. They were filled with extreme coldness.

Gray felt a chill run down his spine when her gaze landed on his body. The gaze seemed to be filled with unfathomably deep killing intent that made Gray's scalp tingle; his legs started to shake like a tree during a storm. A great weight suddenly seemed to have been placed on his shoulders that wanted him to kneel and kowtow.

He was already prepared for such a reaction and didn't regret his earlier action. His blue eyes were like a serene lake, remaining calm and peaceful even though his face had already started to contract under severe pain.

Beads of sweat had started to appear on his forehead and began to slide toward the ground.

"An unawakened being able to resist my killing intent, interesting, very interesting. Little boy, you are really making me curious."

"I really want to cut open your head and extract all of your memories," Rose started to smile with a strange look on her face. She licked her red lips and walked towards Gray at an unusually slow pace.

The pressure that Gray was feeling suddenly multiplied by tens of times. With every step that Rose took in his direction, Gray's head throbbed in pain as if someone was grabbing his heart tightly; the feeling was very painful and suffocating.

Without even realizing, Rose stood in front of Gray. Suddenly she leaned closer and licked the blood that had appeared at the corner of his face.

Gray felt a strange sense of electricity coursing through his body when Rose's small tongue made contact with his face. Added with her intoxicating body scent, Gray felt as if he was on the verge of completely going mad.

In the next moment, Rose got away from him in disgust and spat on the ground.

"So disgusting, you are no longer human." Rose's expression looked greatly disturbed when she said these words, and following her words, the pressure that he was feeling increased once more.

Gray felt as if his body was hit by a truck and immediately fell to the ground head first; all the bones in his body seemed to have turned into powder.

At this point, Gray was in unimaginable pain. He suddenly wanted to die so he could escape the pain.

Boom!

Gray's mind suddenly went blank. All the blood vessels in his body seemed to have exploded at the same time; his entire body was covered in ghastly red blood from head to toe.

"Listen to me very carefully, little boy. I am giving you two choices now: If you want to live then accept me as your master, or die." Rose slowly walked towards Gray and said in a low voice.

If Gray was in a normal condition, he would have surely rolled his eyes at her words. Although she sounded magnanimous and was giving him two choices, even a deaf man could hear the warning in her tone - there was only one option in front of him.

Gurgle!

Gray wanted to say something, but all that came out of his mouth was blood; he had lost the ability to speak.

Realizing something, his eyes suddenly narrowed to an extreme degree and a dreadful feeling filled his heart.

'Don't tell me?' From the start, she had no intention of sparing his life and was only playing around with him.

At this time, Rose Blue coldly snorted and said in disdain, "You really think you would even exist if I wanted to erase you from the face of this world?"

"How laughable. From now on, you are the disciple of I, the Sixth Rank Magus Rose Blue Heaven." Rose announced in a loud tone. Immediately following her words, the pain that Gray felt lessened and slowly reduced until it completely disappeared.

Even the wounds on his body started to heal, and in barely a few minutes, he gained the ability to get up.

The earlier events felt like a dream.

Gray eyes seemed to have gotten a little hollow, for a moment he even forgot about his goals and objectives.

Slowly he took a deep breaths and clenched his fist tightly.

Never, he will never be supressed like this again, never.

For a Gray this was the event that would completely change the course the of his life.
