Back in the lounge, Amon concealed his aura once again, which caused his eyes to turn back into their original color while retracting the void that prevented the surrounding space from repairing the spatial crack besides him.

Then he shifted his gaze once again towards Alice who was still in his arms, before letting her down and said to her in a teasing voice, "So, do you still think I'm too weak to help you?"

However, Alice didn't reply immediately, even though the suppression of Amons aura was gone, and she could again move on her own without any difficulties.

She was utterly shocked by what she just witnessed. She had seen many powerfully beings in the war between her planet and the clan that invaded them, but their strength wasn't even close compared to what she just saw.

By now she was certain that Amon definitely was not a mortal being and even among those fabled immortal being who broke the shackles of time and could live forever if not killed, he should be at the absolute peak.

The planet they just visited was by no means small, its size was comparable to Evandel and this being completely destroyed it within seconds just to prove a point. Not even the tiniest bit of dirt could be found on the planet after the black hole disappeared.

Then a realization snapped her out of her thoughts, 'He can freely travel through space and is powerful enough to destroy planets if he wants to, he can surely help me to go back to Evandel and to find my family and safe them from those magi. And it's not like I have that much of a choice anyway I'm way too weak to find a way back and even if I somehow escape here and manage to become stronger, it would take me hundreds of years to reach the required strength to help them. Who knows what would happen to them until then, if I reach that level of strength at all.'

With that thought in mind, a resolute expression emerged on her face before she looked at Amon and asked, "If I become your servant, will you help me to go back to Evandel and safe my family from those invading magi ? I was captured a week ago, but I was not in our castle when those magi invaded, and with all those formations there they should still be fine for a while."

"Well, I am not that busy right now, so I could help you with that. However, I don't think you know the stellar coordinates of your planet and neither do I, so it will have to wait for a while because I need to find the clan that captured you and then convince them to tell me where your planet lies."

However, after seeing the sad look on Alice's face after he told her he didn't know the location of her planet and she had to wait, he added "It won't take long to find the coordinates of Evandel, a few days at most. I'll just need to look through the central continent for a bit until I find a portal leading towards a planet with vampires on it. Your race isn't that common in the universe, so it won't take long for me to find the right one."

After hearing Amons conformation that he would help her, a lot of different feelings emerged from her. She had seen what this being was capable of, so she was happy after hearing that he would help her, but mixed within this happiness was also sadness because to get this favor she had to practically sell herself to him.

However, after thinking about her current situation, she couldn't find a better solution than to relay on Amon even if she had to become his servant. If she didn't agree, even if he allowed her to leave, surviving in the magus world on her own would be pretty harsh and how knows if someone would capture her again.

Even though she didn't know what Amon wanted from her, at least he didn't force her and gave her a choice, so with a heavy heart she walked right in front of Amon while thinking 'At least if a have to sell myself I can decide on the price' before lowering her head and said "As long as you help me I accept you as my Master"

Then much to Amons surprise Alice closed her eyes and allowed her dress to slip from her shoulders. It descended gracefully, cascading like a silken waterfall, until it fell on the floor, leaving her completely exposed in front of Amon.

Seeing her like this, Amon sighed again, 'Did she somehow misinterpreted me saying that I found her interesting? Well, I don't mind the view, but I guess I should clear this misunderstanding, or she would assume the wrong things from me.'

With that in mind, he gently placed his hand on her chin, which caused her and open her eyes. Amon then raised her head slightly, so she could look him in the eyes while saying with a gentle smile on his face, "I don't know how I am always misunderstood with those things, but I have no intention of doing anything you would resent me for to you. So you don't have to force yourself to do this."

Hearing this, a sign of relief showed itself on Alice's face, and she asked in a low voice, "So you don't want to sleep with me?"

"No, I wouldn't mind doing it with you, however as I said, I won't force you to do this. Even if you agree, I know you would resent me for doing anything to you right now, so why would I ? It's not like I am some impatient kid, and I'm pretty sure you fall for me at one point anyway, so get dressed again we are leaving" said Amon.

Alice, who didn't know how to reply to that, slowly picked up her dress again and covered herself with it before she asked in an embarrassed voice" Can you turn around?" However, as a response, Amon just began to laugh and said in a mischievous voice, "Why should I ? it's not like I told you to undress in front of me, besides that, haven't I already seen anything there is ?"

However, before Alice could respond, Amon placed his hand on her left breast for a second, and before she even realized what had happened she could see Amons eyes switching their color for a blink of an eye before he removed his hand again and said "Don't misunderstand this either I just replaced the spell that enslaves you. The new one won't restrict you in any way, and the only thing it does is that it tells me your location and prevents your soul from dispersing if you would die. So if you die, I can either repair your body and place it back in or look for a new body for you. However, I would prefer if you don't die. I am not that good at healing people, so it would be slightly bothersome for me if I had to revive you right now."

Hearing what Amon just said, Alice forgot her embarrassment for a second and checked her body. The seal on her heart which prevented her from circulating Mana was suddenly gone, and that was not the only thing she sensed. Compared to before, her body was clear of any impurities and every fiber of her being was brimming with strength.

Normally, a magus would create a Mana Core to store their Mana, while vampires like Alice transform their hearts into Mana Hearts to circulate their blood better and store their Mana within their blood. This caused vampires to have a superior physic compared to magi.

However, impurities within their body influenced both of them. If they had too many of them within their body's it would not only influence how fast they could move their Mana to cast spells, it was also a prevents them from ranking up.

Yet, right now, Alice felt as strong as never before. Normally, two things are required for someone to rank up. First if they needed to get rid of their impurities, so they could store enough Mana within their body's and second they needed to compress it enough and to transform their cores or hearts to the next rank.

However, in some sense this was a never ending circle because if one reached the next rank, their perceptions increased, which enabled them to find more impurities within their body's to purge away before they could rank up again. Right now, Amon cleared literally erased all impurities within her, which essentially meant that until she reached rank 4 and fused her body with her soul, she could rank up whenever she gathered enough Mana to transform her heart.

So right now, even though she was Still rank one, she had Mana several times that of a normal rank one existence. Even though she couldn't control it like second rank existences, just alone because of that, she could be considered a semi rank 2. She concluded that right now she should be able to face even early rank 2 existences to some degree just alone because of her monstrous amount of Mana and the purity of her body, which helped her circulate it. Feeling all of that made her flabbergasted for a moment. She didn't know how Amon had done it, but within the blink of an eye and with a simple touch, he released the slave spell, set up a new one and pushed her almost to rank 2.

All that was left before she could be considered a rank 2 existence was that she needed to collect enough Mana within her heart to increase its rank, and then she could break through. However, after thinking about the fate of the planet they just visited, she sighted inwardly, pushing a mere first rank existence towards peak first grade shouldn't be difficult considering his strength. A few moments later, the voice of Amon ripped her out of her thoughts, "Can we go or do you want to stay here ? And don't forget to wear your dress. I don't mind if you walk around like that in front of me, however i you should wear something in the city, or I might get jealous." Realizing she was still naked, her face once again gaining a red hue before she hurriedly dressed herself and walked behind Amon towards the door.
