Chương 170: Escape [1]

'....I killed him.'

Staring at the officer's body, I massaged my wrists. They were hurting slightly.

In all honesty, I didn't have to kill him. Simply knocking him out would have done the trick, but I didn't want to risk it. 

In the chance that he woke up earlier than I anticipated, he'd ruin my plans. 

Well, at least, if he wasn't still broken then. 

But I doubted he was. While I had indeed managed to manipulate him using his past, and Emotive Magic, it wasn't to the point where I completely ruined him. 

....I was still not there yet. 

But I was following the right path. Of that, I was sure. 

I was confident in being able to break someone with just words in the future. I just needed to grow more familiar with these strange powers of mine. 

"Haa." 

Looking around, I took a deep breath and removed my clothes, replacing mine with his.
