Chapter 173 - New Spirits

Out in the fields where Teren has brought Nick and the others to get their own Evil Spirits, he came back.

Teren has multitudes of Spirits but he only uses some of it to be an all-rounder. But since he had his way of getting Evil Spirits, he might as well get something advantageous. Even since his encounter with Lina, he had been thinking of using another strong weapon in subduing women.

He didn't think if it's ethical or not, he's thinking about how it will work. Having a conscience right now would only be a stupid thing. If it benefits him, Teren will resort to any methods.

Of course, even that is limited if he sticks to reality. After all, he was still clinging onto that one emotion that he hopes will help him recall his lost emotions. As of now, it's becoming a success. Therefore, he firmly believed that he should cling to it until the very end.

That's why even though he thinks he can use all methods, he wouldn't do something that he would think it break Iesa's heart. Although he's not aware of it, once it comes to that point, he will realize it. As of now, he surprisingly received a go from Iesa.

Teren clearly knows why she acted this way. But he didn't want to think about it right now.

At this moment, it's important to get an Evil Spirit that is suitable for being... 'addictive'

If only he swings both ways, he can also use this method to subdue men but, he can't really bring himself to think that. That's one of the aforementioned limitations that he didn't want to consider.

"But this is hard, even though I have all kinds of Evil Spirits, what kind does it make me good in bed?"

Thinking about this, he also thought of another thing that will help him. A Spirit of Vision. If he could find a suitable Spirit that will let him see a person's desires, that would be extremely helpful in roping in people to work for him.

If he benefits them, he will be at least confident that they will not betray him unless of an extreme situation.

But, of course, Teren wasn't grocery shopping. It was harder to find than taming the suitable Spirits.

"Ah... a Spirit of Ghoul, powers like a vampire or better, an incubus."

Teren looked at all the Evil Spirits of Ghoul. Behind him were myriads of Spirits trying to escape. That was like a banner to control the Evil Spirits and submissively follow him.

However, doing so is much harder than saying. If Teren loses focus, the Spirits may actually leave his body. Just like what Clade and Hanon felt when their Spirits were pulled out, Teren would experience it as well. Afterward, like a domino effect, he will further lose focus and will let out more Spirits. The pain from that would be so immense that even he will faint. At that point, the Evil Spirits that have grudges on him will happily feast on his body.

After taking a Spirit from the ground, Teren ate it as if it was food. He gulped and his face twitched. He immediately placed the other Spirits back to his body not to risk the chance of letting any of them escape, especially, the Great Spirits.

The moon seemed to turn red as Teren silently crouched down, digesting what he just ate. His eyes became dizzy as immense sexual frustration built up within him. His way of taking in Spirits was too forceful that there was a spike of power.

In exchange of letting him use it, the Evil Spirit will also feel what Teren feels during intercourse.

"Argh... fuck this!"

Teren groaned as Iesa's images just kept flashing in his head. He really wants to teleport into her room and do what he desires but since this is a spike of power, he may also accidentally harm her in the process.

So what? Does he have to look for a random woman that suits his taste?

Teren knew that's unnecessary. This sexual frustration is just extreme desire and if he let past it, it will not harm him biologically. After all, it came from an Evil Spirit.

After recovering and the desire is bearable, Teren focused on getting that Spirit of Vision. It's much harder this time and some opportunistic Spirits attacked him during this moment but he persevered. The Spirits that annoyed him were used as 'fuel'.

"Ha..."

He exhaled from exhaustion as he continued to search for that Spirit of Vision.

Teren had been using the Spirits of Illusion and Sensitivity a lot. He's most accustomed to it. Changing his tactic will lessen his overall power by quite a lot. He's not some sort of genius who learns everything with little practice. Therefore, getting a second Spirit of Sensitivity will destroy his fighting style. That's why he only uses one of each kind not to disrupt one another.

As for a Spirit of Vision, he can discard his first one since he's not really fond of it. This is more important. Spirit of Vision and Spirit of Sensitivity is quite the same but it's totally separated. The former lies in the conscious while the latter lies in the subconscious. The former can be explained while the latter cannot. The former needs some sort of activation while the latter is always active. The list goes on...

After getting another Spirit of Vision, Teren dropped and rested for a while...

Hours have passed and that was when he stood up. Unfortunately for him, his mood became sour from being sexually frustrated since the start. He had the temptation to just release it there but he needs it for now.

Teren had to try both Spirits on a person. Therefore, he asked his girlfriend for permission which she permitted.

....

In Iesa's apartment, she just sent the reply while lying her belly on the bed. 

She rolled and met the ceiling before sighing with a darkened expression.

"... this is hard..."
