Red-eyed Lord Sebastian!

The startled shout didn't come from Lod Sebastian, but it came from another person. It was none other than Isiah. He was standing at the entrance of the study. Due to all the commotion happening in the study room, he had come to this place, and the first thing he saw after opening the door was a black apparition entering his master's body. It made him so scared that a terrified yell came out of the pits of his stomach.

His scream put a frown on Lord Sebastian's face. Whether he was the real one or not was another story. He turned around and looked at Isiah in irritation. His eyes flashed a crimson glint, and being stared at by those red eyes that held no pity for life and only a desire to dominate, made Isiah so scared that he stepped backwards. He tripped on the third step and fell back.

"Ouch!" Isiah cried out in pain as his head hit the wall.

"Che," The crimson-eyed lord Sebastian clicked his tongue and looked at Isiah in disdain. "Had no one ever told you that your shout is unpleasant to hear? Can you stop shouting before I make it impossible for you to ever say a word?"

"M-Master? Is that you? Are you alright?" Isiah blurted out. He was confused and in pain, unable to make sense of the situation.

The crimson-eyed lord Sebastian scoffed, "You should be worrying about yourself."

"Huh? What?" Was this person not his master but the black shadow he saw overlapping with his master's body? If that was really the case, it meant that an evil spirit had taken control of his master. What do they do after possessing other people's bodies? Isiah was very clear about that fact. They kill and butcher whoever they come across before eating them.

The prospect of getting killed by an evil spirit and getting his entire body devoured made him so scared that he started to crawl away in a hurry.

"Foolish!" The crimson-eyed lord Sebastian laughed as red tentacles crept out of his body and surged towards Isiah. They reached him within seconds and wrapped him up, immobilizing him.

Isiah struggled to free himself, but they held him so tight that he could do nothing but squirm.

"Resistance is futile." A heart-chilling voice came from behind him. The throbbing of his heart intensified. It doubled when Lord Sebastian suddenly appeared before with his head lowered. When the lowered head raised and his Lord looked straight into his eyes, his heartbeat stopped for a moment, and he felt the air around him freezing. Isiah forgot to even blink.

There was an evil glint in Lord Sebastian's eyes. Isiah felt that if he didn't do anything soon, then this might be his end. He didn't want to die. Isiah wanted to live. He had a sister to support and medical bills to pay. If Isiah fails, who will take care of his little sister? He was sure that the hospital would cut off her support system and let her die if no one were to pay them the monthly medical fees. That's how cruel the world of today was. No one sympathized with poor people. Everyone was a slave to power or money.

He was tied up and couldn't move, so how could he escape? The only thing he could do was beg the demon for his life!

"Please let me go, I beg of you." Isiah cried out pitifully, "If you let me live, I will do everything you say."

The lips of the crimson-eyed Lord Sebastian curled up. It seemed as if the proposal made by Isiah had interested him.

"Everything?" He asked.

"Yes, I will do everything you want me to do. Just please don't kill me." Isiah hurriedly replied.

"Open your mouth." He said as eerie redness flashed in his eyes.

Isiah obediently followed his word and opened his mouth. Lord Sebastian put two of his finger inside the mouth of his disloyal servant. Isiah felt a bit embarrassed as his red and wet tongue came in contact with the finger of his lord. But his embarrassment didn't last long as redness surged out of those two fingers, mixed into one, and took the shape of a red scorpion that crawled in his mouth. The eyes of Isiah widened in fear. He didn't know what was moving in his mouth, but it wasn't a good feeling. Isiah choked when the scorpion went down his throat. He started coughing and bit on Lord Sebastian's finger.

"How dare you bite my fingers?"

The red-eyes Lord Sebastian seemed angry enough to kill.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." Isiah apologized. He was acting obedient and weak because he didn't want to die.

"Pa!"

A hard slap landed on his face. It left fingerprints on his little face. He closed his eyes due to the sheer pain arising from his cheeks. He was sure that his cheek would be bloated tomorrow.

"Open your eyes and look at me if you don't want to die."

A command came from above.

Isiah had no choice but to follow his words.

He raised his head, snapped open his eyes, and looked at him.

"Forget about everything you saw here." The Crimson-eyes Lord Sebastian said while looking into his eyes.

Isiah felt his mind turning foggy, and his vision also blurred. The next moment, he heard words coming out of his mouth.

"Your wish is my command, Lord Sebastian."

The crimson-eyed Lord Sebastian nodded his head; a smile hanging on the corner of his lips revealed that he was feeling slightly happy.

"Go back to your room, lay down on your bed, and sleep for half a day." He set free Isiah only because the latter was no longer conscious and a slave to his will.

Isiah, who had no light in his eyes and only a desire to serve Lord Sebastian using every inch of his body, said, "As you command, Lord Sebastian."

As if he was a puppet attached to the will of Lord Sebastian, Isiah stepped towards the servant's quarters, entered his room, laid down on his bed, and immediately fell asleep!

Meanwhile, the red-eyed Lord Sebastian returned to the room, walked up to a mirror, and looked at his reflection. An amusing smile popped up on his face. With a slight wave of the hand, he pulled a sofa behind him. He sat down on it, crossed his legs, and stared at the mirror.

'I wonder how you'll feel after seeing what I'm seeing. I'm sure, though, that the truth of your disability wouldn't come off as pleasant to you."

A smile stretching from ear to ear appeared on the devilish-looking Lord Sebastian.

The electric clock ticked loudly, and the time finally moved on from 11:34 and hit 11:35!
