"I told you it is a trap!"
Zylarith raised his voice.
"I will be fine."
Sharnoth replied confidently as she glanced at Kethrian with a dangerous look on her face.
"I invested too much in them."
She declared. She had no plans on losing the subordinates she had gathered and cultivated with so much effort.
But—
"I can say the same too."
Suddenly, Sharnoth heard a voice and before she could react—
She lost control over her body.
’H-Huh...?’
She frowned. Everything around her slowed down as her senses became stronger. Then, as if to shock her even further, she saw her arms move without her... wanting to move them.
They... they were moving on their own.
No, more accurately, someone else was moving them.
’H-How...?’
She stuttered.
She saw how ’she’ accessed her storage ring and took out an artifact. It was a summoning artifact that allowed her to summon one of her most loyal subordinates in front of her.
’She’ activated the artifact, summoning a subordinate who was currently fighting another enemy. His sudden summoning confused him,
"Lady Shar—"
He tried asking a question, but before he could say or do anything, Sharnoth’s hand moved. ’She’ grabbed his head and threw him into the Death Region Kethrian had created and just as she did—
BOOOOOOOOOOM
She witnessed the explosion right in front of her, the explosion that was more than enough to kill her a few times over.
Less than a second.
From her losing control over her body, to summoning a subordinate, using his body to activate the trap, all the way to the explosion she was seeing—it all happened in less than a second.
And the moment that second was over—
Sharnoth regained control over her body.
"W-What...?"
The woman stuttered, unable to believe what just happened. Her worldview crumbled. Letting someone else control her body as if it was their own was a strange, disgusting feeling that she didn’t like one bit.
But...
For now, it was time for her to deal with the enemy.
Once she realized what he was capable of, Sharnoth became serious. The battle continued without any mistakes from her side and soon, she overpowered him and took over Khaemorr within the next few hours.
The matter ended just like that—
Or at least, that was what Sharnoth was hoping.
But...
"Sharnoth Nocthys, talk to me."
Zylarith ordered with a solemn look on his face.
He had been staying silent all this while, waiting for Sharnoth to bring it up. But realizing that the girl had no plans on saying anything, he stepped forward on his own.
Sharnoth paused and Zylarith continued,
"I took over your body, I am sure you must have a lot of questions, ask—"
