"No …"
Impossible!
Hearing what Rozen said, Horned Ghost subconsciously wanted to deny it.
If it was before, it would be fine, but now, the Crow's Feather had successfully turned into a spell tool, and Rozen said he was not Luminescent Light. How could that be convincing?
However, Horned Ghost was not an ordinary person. He saw the abnormality of Rozen's Crow's Feather Weave in the next second.
The dark coat seemed to be extremely obedient on Rozen's body, but with his understanding of the Crow's Feather, Horned Ghost could still see the unnatural chaos in the Crow's Feather Weave.
This unnatural chaos was the manifestation of the Crow's Feather resisting the user's control.
"Am I being forcibly controlled?"
Horned Ghost's face suddenly sank, and the way he looked at Rozen also changed.
Who would have thought that?
As a result, it was not the Crow's Feather that dominated Rozen's body, but Rozen dominated the power of the Crow's Feather.
Now, Rozen was equivalent to controlling a servant or a Shikigami, with his own spell power, he firmly controlled the Crow's Feather in his hand.
"That's true, but the Crow's Feather is constantly resisting. If I relax even a little, this eight-headed crow will immediately attack. As a spell artifact or even as a Spirit-branded Retainer, it's incredibly difficult to control. Wearing it really makes it hard for me to relax; I have to worry about being attacked at any moment."
Rozen shrugged.
After all, it was not an absolute contract that forbade betrayal, resistance, and even death. Rozen didn't even engrave a Shikigami contract on the Crow's Feather. Now, he was just forcibly controlling the Crow's Feather with his own power, naturally, he couldn't guarantee that it would not resist.
Just like a servant, after signing a contract with the master, there was no guarantee that it would never betray the master. Therefore, the Command Curse came into being, and its original function was to force the servant to obey.
As far as Rozen knew, there was only an absolute contract that could be engraved in the soul of the servant through the power of Miracle.
Even though Rozen's self-made Spirit-branded Retainer Contract was extremely powerful and could perfectly control Spirit-branded Retainers, if the Spirit-branded Retainer's power exceeded his own by too much, there was still the possibility of the Spirit-branded Retainer disobeying.
Of course, Rozen's ability to control Familiars and Spirit-branded Retainers was second to none. Rozen didn't even know if there was a way to surpass this level of control.
Therefore, if Rozen forcefully engraved a Shikigami contract on Crow Feather right now, he would probably be able to make Crow Feather obey him and change his master, right?
However …
"I don't have any grudges with Ye Guang, so I'll return it to you."
With that, Rozen suddenly tore off his coat and threw it in the direction of the Horned Ghoul.
However, as soon as the coat left Rozen, it immediately transformed back into the three-legged Golden Crow as if it had gained its freedom. It flew back to the direction of the Horned Ghost and perched on its shoulder, looking at Rozen with fear and trepidation that had never been there before.
Obviously, Crow Feather was really frightened by what Rozen did.
In the past, Crow Feather had never been so forcefully controlled by anyone, not even Ye Guang, which made Crow Feather feel free and unfettered.
Now, after experiencing the absolute control brought by Rozen, one could imagine how Crow Feather felt.
Presumably, no matter how much Rozen persuaded Crow Feather, it would never be able to possess Rozen's body again, right?
And losing this spell tool of the highest level, Rozen didn't feel pity at all.
Indeed, Crow Feather's ability was very useful. It could fly, automatically cast spells and attack, and could also automatically defend and counterattack. In addition to the auxiliary enhancement of spell power, if Rozen obtained it, not only could it make up for his weak physique, which resulted in a lack of mobility and movement, he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked and plotted against anymore. He could completely rely on the power of Crow Feather to defend, counterattack, and even counterattack.
Therefore, for Rozen, the power of Crow Feather was still quite tempting.
More importantly, Crow Feather wasn't just a spell tool, it was also a Shikigami.
Since that was the case, with Rozen's ability, he could make the power of Crow Feather stronger and break the rules. By then, he wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt anymore.
If Crow Feather was an enemy's item, Rozen would definitely snatch it without hesitation.
But now, since he had obtained all the spell knowledge of Ye Guang, and Ye Guang wasn't his enemy and had even given him such a great benefit, Rozen wouldn't go that far.
(Since I already have the knowledge to create Crow Feather, I can just make another one in the future.)
Because of that, Rozen didn't have to be reluctant to part with Crow Feather.
"So, the deal is perfect, right?"
Rozen showed a relaxed smile to Horned Ghost.
Horned Ghost could only remain silent.
After a long while, Horned Ghost let out a sigh.
"Seems like things are more troublesome than I thought."
Horned Ghost allowed Crow Feather to rest on his shoulder, turned around and glanced over at Rozen.
"Although you aren't Ye Guang, you have talents that aren't inferior to Ye Guang. Now that you've obtained all the accumulated knowledge of Ye Guang, you will surely become an astonishing person in the future. I hope we won't become enemies in the future."
After saying that, the Horned Ghost flung his empty sleeves, turned around, and slowly left with the crow feather.
So Rozen watched Horned Ghost leave and didn't say anything.
"Enemy … huh?"
After mumbling, Rozen muttered to himself.
"It doesn't matter if we're enemies or not, but if it's just a comparison, I'm quite interested."
Originally, Rozen didn't know how strong he was and urgently needed to find someone to verify his strength. Now that he had obtained such a large amount of curse knowledge, how much power he possessed became even more mysterious.
Horned Ghost was a Ghost King that had lived for thousands of years. His strength had reached the highest level of Tamed Demon. Among all the existences that Rozen had seen in this world, he was second only to Ashiya Michinoku.
Such an opponent was too hard to find.
"But I won't take the initiative to find fault with him just because of this."
Watching Horned Ghost's figure disappear by the river, Rozen also turned around and continued to organize the large amount of curse knowledge in his mind while leaving.
Under such a situation, the barrier around them gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.
Then, the petite girl who was watching from the top of the bridge disappeared, and even the old man who was looking down from the night sky disappeared.
However, on the rooftop of a building, there was a tall figure standing there and witnessed the whole process.
It was a handsome young man who was dressed like a gentleman. He wore a monocle and exuded a strange demonic aura.
"I see. Qiu Guan of the Earth Imperial Gate isn't the reincarnation of Ye Guang."
The young man confirmed it with an elegant smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a strange expression.
"Seems like it's better to report to the princess first."
