He walked in the direction of the voice that offered him wealth, increasing the volume of the shouts.

"Don't go! Come to me! Please!" The angry shouts of the disfigured woman changed to pleads. She started begging him not to go to the other woman.

"Come to me, I can give you all you need in the world. Any one of my pills will give you endless wealth. You don't need her at all," the third voice said.

"Come. I will show you what wealth means," the second voice said.

He kept walking without paying any heed to the voices. He walked till he reached a distance close enough that the light being emitted by the compa.s.s alone let him see the woman.

She was also chained to the wall, but her entire body was so much different compared to the previous woman. This woman was incredibly beautiful. Her body was ravis.h.i.+ng and her face was flawless. In the real world, she would be able to make any man do anything for her.

"So you came to me. All men desire wealth. Free me and I will teach you how to acquire this wealth," she said.

"Free you?" He asked.

"You have the power to free me. All you need to do is come close and touch the chains with your hand. If you release your aura into the chains, then you will destroy them," she said.

Leo knew that the woman's words weren't completely true, but he didn't mind taking the risk. Based on his perception, the woman didn't have any aura or magic at all, so he thought she was harmless to him.

He took a step forward and almost touched the chains. Before doing that, he stopped and looked into the woman's eyes.

"What is the guarantee that you will give me wealth?" He asked her.

She smiled. "Tell me. What do you want?" She asked him. "I can't give you anything physically, but I have valuable information that no one else will have."

"Tell me, then. What treasures can I find in Solaria?" He asked.

The woman's expression changed. "Solaria? What is Solaria? Is it a new city?" She asked him.

"Solaria, the empire. How are you not aware of-" Leo was talking but something struck his mind. He quickly took a step back.

"Who are you," he asked her. He realized that his mind had been muddled ever since he had entered the temple. He felt greed toward the promises offered by the women that he forgot how dangerous it would be if he was careless. He felt compelled to take risks that he normally would never take.

"What do you mean?" She asked him. .

"I thought my question was very simple. Who are you?" He asked again.

"I am the 13th princess of the Viran Empire," she said. "My name is Nefrati Viran. But if you asked the question, that means you must have come back to your senses. So I have no choice but to try and take over from this distance."

Leo was confused. Suddenly, the chains that were binding Nefrati shot toward him. He didn't know how they magically did that, but he was in no position to think about that. He was in a very precarious position.

The chains were approaching him slowly, so he caught them with his hand. Even though he stopped them from hitting him, he knew it wasn't over. Even is the chains did hit him, they would barely graze him, so the attack wasn't achieving anything. So why did she attack him? What happened to him next answered the question.

The aura in his body stopped moving when the chain touched him. He tried to let go but the chain seemed to be stuck to him. He looked up and realized that the things binding the woman to the wall weren't the chains.

They were a separate set of shackles binding her hand and feet. The chain itself wasn't even made of metal. It seemed to be solid but didn't feel like it.

"Do you like my restraint? I made it after years of being bound here. I can finally use it," she said. freew(e)bnovel

"What is this?" Leo asked her.

"These are restraints that will take away your ability to use aura. If your aura is gone, then I can easily take your body and use it till I find a better one," she said.

"Take my body?" Leo was shocked.

"You will see what I mean," she said. A white light emitted from her body and an orb shot out of her forehead. It shot into Leo's head. Because he was so close and couldn't see it in advance, he wasn't able to stop it.

The orb entered his forehead but nothing happened immediately. He was confused about what was happening. He only knew something was up when he realized that there was a change in his body.

Something was happening in his mind. He quickly went to his mind, finding Nefrati there. She was looking up at the stars that were in his mind.

The orb was the soul form of Nefrati. She had entered the body of Leo and was planning on taking over, but she failed because of the additions to the mind that she wasn't prepared for. She looked at him when she saw him enter the mind alongside her.

She immediately attacked him with her hand. Her hand was filled with aura and was about to hit him. However, before she could land her hit, she found herself a dozen meters away from him.

She was confused. How was he able to escape her grasp? She looked up and saw that he was in front of her again. Her stomach contracted as his fist hit it, throwing her across the plains.

"You... you aren't an Aura Knight," she stuttered a little but Leo could understand her clearly.

"I am not. I am surprised that you a.s.sumed I was. But if you can get into my mind, then it would make sense that you can see through my aura level," Leo said.

"What is the energy that is in your mind? How is it able to s.h.i.+eld itself from my chain? And how are you able to defend yourself from being taken over by my mind?" She asked distraught.

"I have no words for someone who was trying to take over my mind," he said and walked toward her. He was planning on crus.h.i.+ng the soul so that he could go back to the real world.

"Wait! Don't kill me! Aren't you here for the inheritance of the Blood G.o.d? I can show you where the inheritance is," she said.

He chuckled while shaking his head. "And what makes you think I would listen to you? You already tried to fool me once," he said.

"This is different. I can give you a guarantee. I can make sure that you will be unharmed by anything I do. Is that fine?" She said.

"A guarantee?" He asked her.

"Yes. We can create a contract that says that if you let me go, then I will give you the information about the inheritance of the Blood G.o.d," she said.
