NOVEL NEXT Chapter 29: Ruler of Darkness(Knight)
"Ugh... hug me..."
"What?"
*cough*cough*
"Uh..." Antanasia didn't understand anything, but seeing Temorsth in such a state, she had no time to think.
'So soft...' Temorsth's head got buried between Antanasia's big melons.
'Good job. No, Excellent! You did an excellent job, Persona!' As Temorsth drowned in the valley, he raised his arms and locked them around Antanasia's waist.
'Thanks, I just tried to use the memories I got from you, Relatio.'
'Ugh... this pain was insane...'
'What did you expect? At the same time, all five of our minds and memories got integrated, it's good that only a few blood vessels burst since our heart rate almost doubled in that second.'
"Uh? Blood? Are you bleeding?"
"Uhmh... But don't worry it's just my nose."
"Uhm..." Antanasia squirmed with confusion and awkwardness, and because of the light movements Temorsth got hit by both of the melons.
'This is almost like in anime... you got a nosebleed from getting into an erotic situation.'
'No, that wasn't the cause...'
'I know! Just shut up, you won't understand anyway.'
...
At the same time, in Temorsth's mental world.
"We might have made a mistake." Seeing what the body was doing, Tiana called out.
"Oh, don't worry. What can happen with a crazy scientist, a wild warrior, a romantic love lover, and someone obsessed with the truth combining their mind and thoughts? Nothing right? I thought the same."
"Why don't I feel irony?"
"Hm?"
"Nothing..." 'You don't even hear yourself now...'
...
"Uhm..." Anastasia continued squirming.
"Hmh, An..." Temorsth moved his head up, Since his cheeks were squashed from both sides he looked like a little hamster.
'Cute...' *Ahm...* She tried to hide her thoughts with a fake cough a fake. "Yes, what is it?"
"Do you not like blood?"
"Uh, why do you think I don't?"
"You started acting weird after you noticed mine."
"This..."
"Hm?" Noticing the uncomfortable look in her eyes, Temorsth continued. "If you don't feel like talking about it..."
"No, it's just... I got thirsty."
"...?"
'She is thirsty! Do you hear it, we...'
'She didn't mean it like that.'
'Seeker, you too? Why do you all brake the fun?'
'Sorry...'
'Can you all please don't talk so much... I'm getting confused...'
'Hmh... alright.'
'Thanks.'
"Uhm... do you get this after seeing any blood?" Temorsth contained the questions after a slight hum, that cleared his mind of chaotic thoughts.
"What!? No! I'm not like that, what are you thinking? I'm not some low-life whore!" Antanasia raised her voice, she sounded as if she just got insulted to the ground.
"What are you...!?" She looked down at him but... "Uh?" after she saw Temorsth's confused hamster-like face, looking up at her, she become bewildered.
"You...you don't know?"
"What?"
"..."
"What is it? "
"Really... Did your parents teach you anything?"
"They did, in fact, many things. Why, did I ask something offensive?" Temorsth gaze changed, and his face and eyes turned to show innocence.
"Ugh...!" Temorsth blue eyes gleamed and seeing her face reflected in those sparkling eyes, Antanasia lost her focus for a second.
'This little... At one time he is a little perverted devil and at the other, he looks like an innocent baby...' She had confused and irritated thoughts. She couldn't decide whether she liked or disliked this new master of hers.
'If I remember correctly... Sis warned me of something like this...'
...
'Sister, you need to beware of these scheming bastards.'
'What are you...?'
'Sis, you are extremely strong but you will get played by those two-faced men...'
'Hey, I...!' Antanasia couldn't even speak since Katarina interrupted her words.
'Those bastards will play you out with their innocent look and devilish hearts.' Katarina walked closer to Antanasia.
'Sis, you are truly innocent...' As Katarina got before her sister, she stroked her face with a light movement. "...and those bastards only want one thing.'
To say Katarina was right and wrong at the same time. Temorsth wanted two things and his thoughts actively confirmed those two things.
'First, conquer the heart than the body...'
...
*Ahm...* Antanasia cleared her throat before she started to speak.
"To stay in their strongest form, vampires have to drink blood, but that is only true for those who didn't surpass their feral state or are still young as vampires."
"Umu...umu..." As Temorsted listen to her, he slipped his head back between the big melons.
"Khm! So for vampires at higher realms, drinking blood lost its essential purpose of staying strong." Since she notice his more indecent approach, she called at him with another cough.
"Nowadays high ranking vampires only drink blood when they need to heal or when they notice something that is to their taste or when they are making a bond of some sort."
"Umu...umu..."
"Can you stop squirming?"
"No... you have a good scent, I want to feel it more."
"Feel? What are you talking about?"
"Hm... Anyway, then is my blood to your taste?"
'You little... changing the topic when it's not to your liking...'
"Ugh... Y-yes..."
"Hmh... Why do you like it then?"
"It has a sweet scent..."
"Hmmm..." After an elongated hum. "If you want... I'll let you drink some."
"...!" Temorsth light words made Antanasia's eyes turn to pure shock.
"Hm?"
*sigh* "I will not even ask, you obviously don't know this either..." With the words, firstly she tried to calm herself.
"No." But Temorsth's short answers shook her already fluttering heart.
"...?"
"I know."
"...!?"
"You're already mine. What does another connection matter?"
"...!"
"Am I right?"
"You..."
"Yes?" His voice sounded so innocent and pure that even more anger appeared on Antanasia's face.
"You little pervert! If you are so full of energy let go of me!" Anastasia grabbed Temorsth's shoulders and tried to push him away.
"No! Not yet." Temorsth gave resistance and since Antanasia didn't use real force she easily got overpowered.
"Umu..." Feeling the resistance loosen, Temorsth smuggled back into her embrace.
"Just a little more. I need to recharge just for a little longer."
'Recharge...? am I an energy source or something?'
...
And after a little more than five minutes.
*Mhm...* 'I like this feeling... but I have to get up now. If I keep doing it the whole day will pass.
"Alright, I finally got all my energy back." With the words, Temrosth released his lock, and feeling it Antanasia did the same.
"Uhm..." Even though Antanasia looked like she was forced to do all this, the moment the release happened her eyes fluttered for a moment.
She raised her hand to her chest, and as she clenched it into a fist a thought crossed her mind. 'Empty...'
'Sister...' Holding a child after so long, made her reminisce about the times she hugged her sister the same way just so they wouldn't freeze to death.
*Uh...* Feeling the soft cold air hit the spot that was warm until a moment ago, a chilly feeling shook her.
"You know..." As Temorsth stood up he turned around and raised his arms with an exaggerated movement, he was stretching as if he has just woken up from a good night's sleep.
"Uh?" And hearing Temorsth call out to her, Antanasia returned from the remembrance.
"My offer will always stand, just ask for it."
"What are..." And just as Antanasia would have asked back.
*smooch* With a quick movement that even she didn't expect.
"And this is your reward..."
"..."
"...for taking care of me... Alright, let's go! I will do it this time, I'm sure of it!" And just like nothing happened, Temorsth walked away.
"..." Seeing him do so, Antanasia raised her hand to touch her cheek. Anastasia's clouded gaze conveyed her empty mind. She was so dumbfounded, no thought came to her.
...
And at the same time. There was someone who was watching all this unfold in real-time.
"She took it!? She took his first!" A woman was screaming to herself in a world only a few beings could reach.
"She...she..." A personality unknown even to Aidana herself began to emerge when she saw something being stolen from her.
"No... no... calm down, it was just on the cheeks... what am I some teenager girl or something?" To calm herself, Aidana hit both of her cheeks.
"Uh? Why did I get mad?" Since she didn't know why she got so flustered all of a sudden, confusion descended onto her face.
"What is happening to me?" Not to say Aidana even Temorsth himself didn't know that he was taming not one, but two woman's hearts at the same time.
...
"Hmh... Now let's think this through. What did Dad mean by slashing the shadows?" Temorsth arrived back at his training ground.
'No.' With a simple word, Brilliance confused everyone.
'Uh? What do you mean, no?'
'Dad didn't say "slash the shadows".'
'Yes, he did...'
'Hmh... then see it for yourself.'
...
"...son I will give two words as tips..."
"The first, shadows..."
"The second, slash it..."
...
'Shadows and slash it. He didn't say you needed to slash the shadows.' As the memory that Brilliance remembered seeped into Persona's mind, his eyes opened with surprise.
'Do you remember now?'
'Yes... But what does this even mean? What do I need to slash? What do the shadows do?'
'We need "shadows".'
'Arnt the ones around what we need?'
'No those are the destination. What we need is a starting point.'
'Then how will we get the one we need?'
'First, we need the spear.'
"Alright, it's here." He still had his spear not that far since he just finished his training not too long ago.
'Active that Balance Breaker.'
"Balance Breaker!" The black energy of darkness burst out around his body.
'Now do you recall something? How Dad looked when he showed, Shadow Step?'
"This... right! I look almost the same as Dad when he did it!"
'Yes, we are bathing in "shadows".'
'But we need one more thing...' Reletio meddled into the conversation.
"Slash it... but how and what exactly?"
'Don't concern yourself with that now, just take a step as Dad did.'
"Just a step... Alright!" And at that moment as Temrosth took a step with the burning black energy of his father in mind.
