"This is what you were planning, weren’t you?"
lia questioned as she glanced at Nux.
"I can’t just not help a woman in need, now can I?
I am not that heartless,
My heart is simply too pure for that."
Nux grinned and the won around him rolled their eyes.
"So that was the plan..."
Vyriana muttered.
"You want her to be indebted to you, and not just with one gift. You are planning sothing much bigger."
The Dragon spoke as she turned her head and glanced at the 3-ter-tall blood seeds that were hovering in the air, bound by both the blood sky and ground.
Yes, these ’blood seeds’ weren’t just so props to make this domain look prettier; they were Aurendor Transcendents lia had defeated, and every single one of them had interacted with Sharnoth or her mother in one way or another.
"We are quite lucky."
Nux comnted with a smile.
lia nodded as well.
"The Aurendorians are quite interesting. To think their people could outlive most people in this Universe."
She comnted, a little impressed.
Of course, she knew different races had different lifespans.
Even back in Yrniel, Vampires and Dragons usually had longer lifespans compared to others. Demons, Elves, and Dwarves too had different lifespans, while Humans and Beastn had the lowest lifespan.
However, the total difference between the long-living races and the race with the shortest lifespan wasn’t bigger than 500 years. Sure, this difference got bigger when races from other Universes were considered,
But all this was only considerable when mortals were compared. As beings started to cultivate and beca stronger, their lifespan extended as well. At this point, a few thousand years didn’t make much difference.
Aurendorians, however, were different.
Their lifespan was much higher than normal. What’s more, was that their lifespan increases more than other races in the Universe as they break through.
While a normal Transcendent can only live for 100,000 years, an Aurendorian Transcendent can live for 125,000 years.
This was the reason Nux was able to catch these Transcendents, who were once soldiers who had defiled Sharnoth’s mother.
Of course, Nux knew there were such races in the Universe with longer lifespans—so Transcendents could live for 500,000 years or more—but to think Aurendorians would be one such people.
This indeed worked out well for him,
Now, he could gather more sacrifices to permanently have Sharnoth on his side. After all, unlike her, he didn’t need to go for an all-out war to abduct people he wanted to.
Yes, he still couldn’t gather most of the culprits since all of them had died, but the higher the number, the better it is for him.
"Did you find anything?"
He questioned as he glanced at lia.
"Three more."
lia answered.
"Just three?"
"Rest are dead."
The Vampire answered and Nux just shrugged.
"Where are they?"
He questioned.
lia then gave him the coordinates of the worlds the three targets were in and Nux—
"I will be back."
He disappeared.
"He is working hard."
Allura chuckled.
"When has he not worked hard at a ti like this?"
Astaria rolled her eyes.
The rest of the won chuckled as well.
Aisha, on the other hand, had another problem.
"Oi, how long do you plan on keeping this domain?"
"This is called training. One does this to push themselves beyond the limits and get stronger. It is a concept foreign to many, so don’t feel foolish or alone. You can co to if you have any questions."
The Vampire answered sarcastically. What made it even worse was the fact that she said those words with a straight, deadpan tone.
"You have gotten much more annoying after breaking through, you know?"
Aisha snorted.
"I apologize for working hard. I will see to it that I slack around like you do."
lia once again answered in her deadpan tone, and the Succubus almost lost her mind. It was quite entertaining to watch.
"You sure are having fun."
On the other side, Edda walked towards Allura, who was watching everything with an amused look on her face.
"Are you not?"
Allura questioned back, staring at her two sisters who were about to throw hands, and Skyla and Evane, who had gone there to stop them.
"I am."
Edda nodded,
"I am more curious about you though.
You are oddly silent these days, almost as if you are trying to hide sothing."
"You are thinking too much."
Allura just smiled.
"You don’t think you can hide it from , do you? I thought we had a special relationship."
Edda muttered, recalling the ti the two of them were together inside the Skyfall Royal Palace.
Allura laughed gently. She then glanced at Edda for a mont and—
"I am preparing sothing, and it needs ti."
"Hmm?"
Edda frowned, wanting to know more, but—
"You will know when it is ti."
Allura simply placed a finger on her lip, signaling Edda to stop.
Edda was montarily taken aback. Soon, however, she just shrugged and stopped talking about it.
...
On the other side, Nux, who, together with his subordinates, abducted the three Transcendents, read their mories, trying to find more, but his luck seed to have run out.
The rest of the culprits were all dead.
’Well, I guess fifteen should be enough.’
He shrugged inwardly and suddenly,
Bzzz
The Call Artifact inside his storage ring buzzed, instantly placing a smile on his face as he realized who it was.
"Lady Sharnoth, I thought you would take your ti enjoying the gift I sent you."
He answered with a big smile.
"I lost myself for a mont there. I apologize for my action."
Sharnoth slightly bowed her head.
"What do you an? I wanted you to lose yourself. You have a lot of pent-up emotions in your heart—let them out."
"No, I would like to take my ti. I do not know when I will get this chance again. Acting rashly would be foolish."
"Right."
Nux nodded at those words.
"Indeed, it wouldn’t be fair for our guest if you acted without being considerate. You should take your ti and co up with sothing perfect for him.
But...
You don’t have to worry, he isn’t the only gift I prepared, you know?"
"What...?"
Sharnoth’s expression changed, and Nux’s smile widened even further.
"This is just the beginning, Sharnoth Nocthys,
When I am done with you, you will fall in love with ."
