Sins Paradise: Domination System-Chapter 58: Let’s Have Fun

Surprisingly, even when he cursed at me, he followed me without rebelling.

Maybe he understood that rebelling would only cause pain to him. He even stayed still when I tied his hand with a rope that I used to bind the spies yesterday. It was returned to me by Rania earlier.

"Where are you taking me, scum?" Alexander asked with a growl.

He was calmer than before as he walked beside me down the corridor of the Royal Academy. Emilia went first to prepare something I asked her, so it was just the two of us. That was the reason why he showed some attitude and wasn't afraid of me at all.

Still, he called me scum this and scum that. Was he an idiot? At least call me with something a bit more unique. And to think he still dared to call me that while the Princess acted politely when talking to me only showed how much he hated me.

How laughable. If he truly hated me, at least try to bite me or attack me. He was really spineless compared to players in Horizon Online.

Without glancing at him, I replied. "A place that you will like."

Then I tugged the rope in my hand that was connected to his hands. "Walk faster, will you?" I grinned.

"You!!" He shouted at me in a loud voice and tried to get out of his binding, but he couldn't.

His strength was lower than what was needed to destroy the rope. Even with stolen status, he was still weaker than Level 25 monsters; funny.

"Don't bother to resist. You're weak." I looked down at him with a cold gaze. Once again, I leaked a bit of my bloodlust, and Alexander shut his mouth in fear. Cold sweat poured out from his body.

I had a question, though. In the past few days, I didn't do anything to him. Eliza was also just a daughter of a baron, not fit to be a future Duke's wife or lover. At most, she could work as a maid in the Bluerose Duchy, but I knew that Eliza wouldn't want that.

So with those obvious refusals, why?

"Why did you poke me? I never understood why people like you always try to find a problem with innocent people."

Alexander's body shivered in fear. He looked at me with a confused look, unable to understand why he was still scared even though he had a new-found strength. Why would a noble like him fear me, who came from a lower origin?

However, the one who reflected in my eyes wasn't a noble. But a fool who stepped on a sleeping dragon's tail.

"No matter." I gave up on hearing his answer. It was always like this.

Many answers were received, but none of them would ever make me understand why people like this guy loved to do this. The one that satisfied me the most was one answer from my worst enemy.

"I guess you just do it to feed your ego and because it was fun."

No answer came, and I only heard the sound of gritting teeth. It came from Alexander.

"And it's not wrong if I have fun too, right?" I said in a low voice as I entered a familiar area. This was the training ground, an area where the revival chamber was the most useful.

If Alexander was Level 20 now, thanks to the stolen status, then what I needed to do was just reset it, no? That way, the status wouldn't be able to return to Adam and essentially make both of them crippled.

Hopefully. I still couldn't understand how the skill worked even now. It was still a mystery.

But, I could bait the big guy if I torture his son. Even if Duke Bluerose didn't really care about his son, he would still pay me a visit to get the compensation he deserved. At least it would take a week or two before the Duke made an obvious move.

This was killing two birds with one stone again, and I could round up the biggest mastermind by having fun with a bastard who poked my side like a thorn.

"There." I swung my hand lightly and threw Alexander in the middle of the training ground as the door was closed with a bam.

I retracted my bloodlust to give him a bit of freedom. The rope also came undone when he rolled on the ground, and he could now move again.

"What do you plan to do, scum?! Did you bring me here to beat me? Hah!" Alexander scoffed as he picked himself up. His black eyes shined a strange purple glint, which was probably the effect of Beatrice's skill. "Shame on you. I am now stronger than a knight or a Paladin like you!"

At his words, I only shrugged my shoulders while letting out a tired sigh. Did he really believe that?

I took out a normal iron sword from my inventory and tossed it to Alexander. He looked at it and immediately got angry, glaring at me like an animal that got cornered by its predator.

"Are you underestimating me?!"

"No. I give you leverage to use a weapon." I replied while gesturing to him with my hand. "Come. This is a trial for you, a Sinner who has made a deal with the devil."

Probably not expecting me to know about his deal with Beatrice, Alexander's eyes widened in surprise. Then they narrowed into a dangerous slit as he took the sword I tossed at him by bending his body.

The barrier around the training ground was activated at that moment. I had asked Emilia beforehand to activate it when I was about to have fun and tweak a little something with the revival chamber. About that something, I would find out if that worked or not later.

Right after he took the sword, he rushed toward me from his low position. A good move. He was also fast for a student who had yet to gain real experience in hunting and fighting in a real death fight.

He kept his body low as he sent a sharp thrust toward me. I grinned as I saw the sword closing in and took a step to the side to dodge it.

Then with a swift movement, I swung my hand, which was coated with blue energy like a sword, down and instantly beheaded Alexander. His head rolled around as blood spurted from the severed part, and the sword in his hand fell with a thud on the concrete ground.

"That's one," I said as I watched Alexander's body disappear into a mote of light.

The blue energy that coated my hand earlier was due to me using a skill <Sword Hand>, derived from Lv 8 Swordsmanship.

It was a useful technique that used Mana created from MP to make my hand as sharp as a sword and allowed me to use some sword techniques with some restrictions. I also got no bonus STR or AGI from equipment, so it was only useful when I fought lower-level opponents.

I only used it to humiliate people I didn't like.

And about the tweak on something I talked about earlier… I noticed the blue mote of light from Alexander's body gathered in one place, right in the middle of the training ground.

It gathered and condensed, turning into a humanoid figure as a minute passed. The color returned slowly, starting from the clothes that Alexander used earlier to the color of his skin and hair. Finally, after a few seconds, he was there, lying on his back and opening his eyes slowly.

"Ughh… What the…" He grunted, still confused after his revival.
