From there, the thugs led Igaris into a quiet alleyway. Probably toward their hidden hideout.
However, their eyes suddenly squinted with power as his figure became blurry.
"Such unnatural speed..." one muttered in his last moment of consciousness.
Igaris didn't have any time to waste.
As such, without warning, he attacked like a lion among a flock of sheep.
It happened so fast and so abruptly that the thugs couldn't even resist or scream before they were knocked out cold.
Igaris didn't kill them. He only rendered them unconscious, then began channeling Acquisition Energy into their bodies.
After using his ability countless times, he had learned how to manage the flow, just enough to bind the soul and manipulate their mind.
He wasn't Acquiring them fully.
Because he had no intention of letting these pathetic lifeforms pollute his Inner World.
He didn't want them as subordinates, only as tools.
He was enslaving them, just as Evernight once told him.
