The Alien King's Alluring Obsession

Edna

I focused on my brain.

I want to seize control from the plant. My brain was a great place to start.

My head felt like a thousand needles was inserted into it. The pain reduced the power of my offensive attack.

I didn't let that stop me though.

I gritted my teeth and continued what I was doing. Going through all these pain would be worth it if I win my body back.

Staying dormant wasn't an option.

I would surely die if I didn't fight back and I only have a certain percentage of dying when I resist the plant's control.

My choice was already decided the moment the plant kicked me out of the mental space she brought me into.

The plant's consciousness seemed like a huge tsunami. It was great and the oppression it emanated chipped at my willpower. Disdain for me was transmitted to my mind. My body wasn't her original form after all. I had a little advantage.

I kept pressing forward with all my might.

I don't know if it is the flight and fight response helping me, I was able to keep the carnivorous plant at bay.

I was weak but I escaped the fate of being devoured alive.

Finally, my efforts bore fruits.

The gigantic tsunami that represented the plant's consciousness started to recede and reduce. I didn't give it any time to recover.

I continued my offensive.

As the plant's control and mental strength reduced, I was empowered.

I thought I would be killed and assimilated. The tables shifted.

The mental battle between us took some time. I don't know how much time passed though.

'You will pay for this!" The plant woman's dying scream shook my mind.

After dropping her resentful word, he disappeared without a sound.

A strange stream of rejuvenating power coursed through me.

A sigh slipped out of my lips.

I stopped attacking the guests.

The vines in my lower body withered and my original legs took shape.

My actions halted the ongoing battle.

I became the focus of everyone's gaze again.

Tekita's eyes glowed.

His presence reminded me of the thing I should have considered the moment I defeated the crazy plant.

I should make my escape now.

I knew I was different from before.

Subtle power flowed through my veins.

This wasn't something I have experienced before.

The protruding skin on my face didn't disappear along with the plant.

I scanned the ruined inn.

I was ready to make my escape.

Yulia looked at me with hopeful eyes.

The fear that coated her pupils when the plant took control was nowhere to be found.

'I am sorry.' I apologized to her mentally.

I can't bring anyone along.

The only person I can save is myself.

If I establish myself in the future, I would come back for them. For now, taking them with me is suicide.

I don't have the power to fund that kind of project.

I turned around and ran to a broken window.

My speed surprised me.

The windy air was filled with sand particles. It pricked my face as it blew past me.

I prepped myself to jump.

We were in the top floor after all.

I knew my strength had increased. I don't know if I would survive safely after jumping down from three floors. I wasn't about to find out.

I saw a few things connected to the building that I can use to break my fall. I noted those things down.

When I was ready, I let myself go.

A muted noise created by something sharp traveling through the air sounded.

An unknown thing hit my back.

A sudden weakness abounded from somewhere unknown. I was in the middle of my jump.

My hands slipped and I tumbled out of the window.

The strong urge to survive pulsed through me.

I stretched my hand and grabbed the jagged edge of the broken window.

Pain assaulted my nerves as the pointy tips of the window's material poked my palm.

The pain didn't make me let go though.

If I release my hand, death awaits me.

As I moved, the unknown thing that hurt me left my body before falling yo the ground.

I glanced at the floor.

I almost curled up in horror.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Someone threw a dart.

The dart had a small tube connected to it. The tube must have stored the medicine that sapped me of my strength.

"Kain, bring the collar." I heard Tekita's voice.

Then, he appeared near the window and the broken walls.

He hurled me from the window back into our ruined room with his two hands.

I gasped heavily from my exertion.

Coming close to death repeatedly wasn't funny.

If I said I didn't know who shot something at me, I would be lying.

I made a mistake.

The moment I crushed the evil plant, I should have disappeared. After waiting for a few minutes, I sealed my fate.

Tekita glanced at me.

"I may not be able to deal with a mutated plant that has no weakness, but for any living being walking on two feet, I am confident I can suppress them." Tekita smiled, "You thought you could leave just like that? Naive!" "You bastard!" I cursed.

He was right.

The plant didn't have any weakness in her original form. As her vines were destroyed, more vines took their place. She was invincible.

I don't know why she was obsessed with my body though. I don't really believe in her words.

Tekita was playing with my life.

All he cared about was the ways he could secure his benefits.

When he shot the dart at me, I was almost outside the window. The shock from his sneak attack made me lose my footing.

If I didn't react quickly and grabbed the remains of the broken window, I would be meat patty by now.

Tekita was obsessed with the benefits he would gain. It was disgusting.

"I know I am. You aren't telling me something new." Tekita replied, "Your value has just increased with this new mutation. No one on this planet can survive when a mutated plant tries to seize their body. Humans are really unique. No, maybe you are the special one."

His words highlighted my stark reality. I became the duck with golden eggs.

"This is the collar." Kain said as he walked to Tekita's position.

Tekita received the collar and squatted beside me.

The silver collar glinted coldly in the dim light.

"The is the remote." Kain said as he gave Tekita the controller.

I tried to muster some strength.

It didn't work.

Tekita pressed a button on the remote. The silver collar divided into two equal halves. He came closer to me and clamped the collar around my neck.

The weight of the metal collar was light.

This discovery didn't make me happy though.

Right on cue, the medicinal effects in the dart Tekita threw at me ebbed away slowly.

I sat up.

"Edna, you shouldn't do what you are not suppose to attempt. This collar has spikes and it also has electric nodes to conduct a punishing current." Tekita advised, "Choose your cards wisely."

His finger hovered over a button on the remote.

He pressed the button lightly. Sharp objects poked the sensitive area on my neck.

He was joking.

The smile on Tekita's face was irritating. Still, I knew there was nothing I could do.

This man must never fall into my clutches. If he does, I would show him what hell looks like.

I returned square zero.

I am going to bid my time again.
