11 Worship me and I will heal you!

"No explanations at all? just save him? alright." Lucio started thinking about how to help the sword thief, he can't touch physical objects and he cannot be seen by creatures that can't control their essence at all, Using the stone shot was a bit overkill for a human so he had no idea on how to save him.

"We're gonna torture you for a bit then kill you" They started walking towards the sword thief.

"Boss I've got the sword out of the rocks!" He was now holding the magical sword that the sword thief stole, it can't be used by anyone except him but they can still hold it.

"Is there a way for me to speak to them?" He asked the system, he was running out of time.

[[There is, you'll have to spend 1 essence for each word you speak when its activated.]]

"I'm willing to spend 1 essence per word!"

[[Skill, Voice of an Essence has been unlocked.]] Another official skill was unlocked, so far he had Essence Blast, Creation and Destruction as official skill.

"Activate Voice of an essence!"

[[Please select your targets.]]

He selected all of them then start to speak

"Killing is prohibited in my territory. If you dare to kill someone in my territory I will kill you."

"Who's there?!" Everyone started to look around, the voice was speaking through their mind, it was either a stronger cultivator than them or a god, but there weren't supposed to be a god in this area so it was probably a strong cultivator that focuses on strengthening their mind.

"I am the god of this mountain, I will kill you if you dare to touch him again." Lucio spoke with a mighty voice

"God?!" They were wrong, it wasn't a stronger cultivator but a god.

The red robed man stepped forward and spoke.

"If you are a god then show yourself!" He doesn't believe the voice in his head.

'Tsk he doesn't believe me, I don't want to kill him but I guess I can still do this...' Lucio clicked his tongue and decided to punish the human.

"Create Stone." He spoke, a fist sized stone appeared mid air.

"What the-" The red robed man realized his mistake, it was really a god that spoke to them, but it was too late the stone was speeding up to his leg.

CRACK!! The stone broke one of his legs.

"AAARGH!!!!" He screamed in agony, he was now in the ground holding his leg.

"M-my lord!" The four other people started to kneel and sweat profusely, they weren't expecting a god to intervene with a small issue like that.

"Leave my territory at once and I shall spare your lives!" Lucio isn't planning to kill any of them but he decided to scare them off.

"R-right away!" The three subordinates of the red robed man came to him and carried him away.

"Also drop that sword! that doesn't belong to any of you anymore!"

"Y-yes!" The blue robed man placed the sword down then followed his friends running away from that place.

The quest was still incomplete even though the sword thief was out of danger.

"M-my lord I have nothing to give you please spare my life!" The sword thief kneeled then begged for his life

'Oh that explains everything' Lucio thought, he was still a threat to him.

He deactivated the voice of an essence and spoke to the system

"Can I convert him to my follower?, I don't need to create my own mortals for them to worship me right?"

[[Yes, You can convert him to your follower but the system won't explain on how you would gain him as your follower.]]

"Tsk, aren't you supposed to be helping me?" The system was different from other systems he knew about from the fictions he read on his past life.

"Hmmmm.. System, is there a way to heal him?"

[[There is, you would need 500 essence to heal him.]]

"FIVE HUNDRED?!" He only had around 700 essence right now, 500 was a bit too much.

[[User, that amount is pretty small compared to the amount of essence you will need to create a mortal.]]

"Now that you mentioned it..." 500 essence was indeed small compared to 10,000 essence.

"Worship me from now on and I shall help you" He activated the voice of essence again then made a deal.
