Archer chuckled before using Mana Manipulation to send the elf into a fake world where he was tortured, flayed, and eaten alive by monsters. By the time the old man was brought back to the real world, he was shaking.
He watched the Moonriver Empire's strongest Duke trembling on all fours as he prostrated in front of him. The older man declared. ''My Lord Emperor, please allow me to repay my dishonesty, corruption, and other crimes. I'll make sure the nobles fall in line with the empress.''
''Excellent!'' he declared, rising to his feet at the elf's words. ''Now, go share what you saw in my vision with the others.''
The man turned to the others and retold everything. This horrified them all, but just in case, Archer did the same to some of them. They started screaming and pleading for mercy, but he stepped back with a smirk.
''Take a Mana Oath to not betray me and help build the Moonriver Kingdom into something great?'' he asked with an amused expression.
