Chapter 175 Silver Thread's Creation
[A/N: Long chapter once again, but don't worry. I plan on writing 2 extra chapters today.]
A few meters from the Clangson estate, a muscular male walked into an alleyway and looked around for a few seconds. Once he made sure that there was no one nearby, his physique began to change and quickly turned into a cute girl.
"Okay!" she exclaimed excitedly as hopped in one place and grinned, "Time to bring out my second half."
Her shadow began to move like a liquid, but instead of separating from her entirely, it simply was a copy of her shadow.
One shadow was still connected to her while the other moved formlessly like water. The girl then bit her tongue and spit the blood out, which fell exactly on the moving shadow.
She then watched the shadow gain a physical form as bubbles and balls of flesh grew on top of each other with the shadow being the base. While this happened, she placed her finger on her tongue and the bleeding slowly stopped.
The rest of the blood that was in her mouth, was again sent flying towards the mass of flesh. The speed of growth increased and once a 170cm tower of flesh was done, it began to take on a humanoid form.
Limbs and head began to grow and once they were done, the other organs sprouted out. Eyes, nose, ears, lips, teeth, tongue, fingers, nails and everything that was needed to make it look like a human.
The girl smiled as she looked at the bald man in front of her and plucked out a strand of hair from her scalp. She then used the finger that had blood on it and wiped it on the hair strand.
Instead of turning read or staying blonde, the hair turned silvery white.
Once she was done, she placed the hair strand on the bald man's head in front of her and smiled. The hair strand moved like a worm and stabbed into the scalp.
There was no movement for a few seconds but all of a sudden, the guy's head began to bleed all over. Along with blood, there was a layer of silvery white which soon grew out.
"Heheh, looking really handsome but that doesn't matter. All you need right now is physical strength and an ability. You have the first one, but for an ability... hmm..." she said and thought for a few seconds.
Once she made up her mind, she looked down at her shadow and with a simple thought, two black balls the size of a golf ball shot up.
She grabbed the two and pushed them against each other, merging them before she silently watched the one ball in her hand.
'.... hair control and strengthening. Pretty good I guess.' she thought and pushed the black ball into the guy's mouth, which he swallowed silently.
"Now, we'll have to give you some intelligence and experience. Let me compile a good combination for you." she muttered as made him go on his knees and bend down.
Then, she used his back as a stool and sat down before closing her eyes.
'Not this.. not this either... I've taken the memories and experiences of hundreds of people but none of them fit my needs... I guess I'll have to mix a few of them to get the desired product.' she thought and got to work.
Extremely thin black strands flew out from her shadow and began to condense into a ball right in front of her. It took her more than ten minutes to get everything done. Explore stories on empire
"Phew, that took some time." she muttered and slid her tongue across her plump lower lip as she looked at her puppet.
Without any warning, she grabbed the black ball and slapped it on his head, shooting the black ball into his brain.
The guy convulsed violently, but right at that time, the girl smirked, 'Looks like Keith followed those two to the mansion tonight. I wanted to kill them for being so annoying but I guess we can play and have some fun tonight, hehehe.'
She moved from one shadow to another as she tried to find the shadows that were under the people who were given the responsibility to attack Clangson's mansion. In just one second, she scrolled scrolled through hundreds of shadows before finding the one she wanted the most.
It was the crazy guy who absolutely worshipped Otto and since he was the current leader of the raid, she knew that influencing him would give her better returns compared to anyone else.
She read through his thoughts and clicked her tongue mentally, 'Tch, what an idiot. He's aggressive just like Otto but this guy is so much dumber. Why do you even want to go in for an all scale attack when you have other choices?'
She shook her head and looked at the silver haired pretty guy in front of her who was still convulsing, but compared to before, it was much tamer.
Suddenly, an invisible form of energy surged around her as the dust and small debris flew outwards with her at the center.
Thoughts and goals of her target began getting influenced and just after a few seconds, the guy gave out an order.
"Everyone, keep your weapons down. We will attack stealthily this time and harass them until they can't take it anymore." he said and grinned widely as he pointed at one of the people near him, "Light up that bottle and throw it at the window. Which one of you is the strongest here?"
A guy from the back lifted his hand up, "Of course it me. I can't believe that you forgot about me Han."
Han clicked his tongue and pointed at the bottle of high purity alcohol, "We can catch up later asshole! This is a job from the boss so let's get this done right. Take that thing and throw it at the mansion."
The other guy sighed and nodded as he walked over to the person who had the bottle. He took it from him, lighted up the tip which was just a cloth passing through the cap and pulled his hand back as his muscles expanded and grew.
"Here it goes!!" he groaned and immediately tossed the bottle towards the mansion.
It few in a long arc and accurately struck the window.
Seeing this, the girl nodded with a smile on her face as she kept at eye on the silver haired man in front of her who was recovering at a steady pace.
'What will you do now, Keith? I'm just a few meters away so the moment you run far away, I'll kill your friends.' she thought, talking to an imaginary Keith in her mind as she kept an eye on him from the shadow that was formed by the mansion.
And just like she had expected, he rushed out like a hero but to her surprise, he stopped midway and ran back.
"You two should go check it out. This mansion is giving me a bad feeling so I'll stay back instead." she heard him say.
Hearing this, she frowned, 'A bad feeling? And you got this feeling while you were running? Yeah, it doesn't add up. For some reason, you decided to join those two while you could have been partying. It's a pity that I wasn't paying attention to you during that time... if not, I probably would have known the reason.'
Her thoughts wandered, but she was unable to come to a conclusion.
"Tch, fine. It was me who was clumsy, but let's see how you'll stop me this time." she muttered as she watched her creation stand up straight and elegantly push his hair back.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
He gave her a confused look but the girl simply grinned before opening her mouth.
"Your name from today onwards will be Ken, but tell others to call you Silver Thread. Make sure that no one learns your real name but for now, I'll give you orders randomly along with information and instructions. You can call me Juliet. Oh and add in the suffix Master."
"As you wish, Master Juliet." he said and saw her smile, "Great. Now... play the game for me."
Just as she said that, she pressed her thumb onto his forehead and gave him all the knowledge about Keith and the current situation in Auberg district along with various other things. In just a second, her job was done and Ken turned to look in the direction of the mansion.
"I'll take my leave, master." he said and bowed down slightly before he began to move.
He climbed over the tall wall that served as a protection for the mansion and as he jumped in, he saw that Keith was not outside anymore.
His expression was calm and emotionless as his hair moved to cover his face, taking the form of a silvery white egg.
Equipped with his makeshift mask which looked like an egg helmet, he rushed towards window that was connected to the living room.
