Chapter 193: The Beauty's Relief



Chapter 193: The Beauty's Relief

"Is she the one from the guild?" Darea asked. They were still in the stoppage of time.

"Y-yeah. Why is she here?" Avion muttered to himself again. He looked around and frowned. At first glance, the situation is pretty obvious.

The king on the ground, having a hateful gaze. His royal robes are nothing like its prime state. The nobility of his appearance was nowhere to be seen. There are only bruises, wounds, and blood all over his body.

Behind him was the unconscious princess and at the front was Mettany.

Why is the king looking at Mettany like that?

Avion couldn't imagine that this silver-haired girl would attack someone, especially the king.

'Wait... what if...?'

Darea noticed this changed. Even though her eyes were closed, she could somehow feel the aura of a soul. The consciousness comes from the soul. It is the origin. If a person is happy, it came from the soul. Meaning, it has expressions first before the face.

If compared, it is easier to distinguish the soul's aura rather than the face if one has a Soul Element, especially a Rank Bih Soul Elementalist like the Conqueress. Even if she doesn't want to, she would recognize the change of Avion's emotions.

Upon realizing what it was, Darea almost opened her eyes in shock, 'Jealousy..?'

Meanwhile, the person himself didn't recognize his own feeling and was negatively pondering, 'So she's not only like that to me... how dumb am I to think that? I'm not even that strong. Strength and appearance are the main points that made Mettany activate her Conditioned Elesk. So it isn't surprising if she to... turn into like that towards another.' his eyes flickered with somber.

It wasn't his fault for misunderstanding. Avion was not there before. Even though they are in the black and white world, it is easy to see that Mettany had turned "reddish", signifying the activation of her Conditioned Elesk. There is only one answer, there is another one who could make her like that.

Unlike Darea, Avion couldn't look into Mettany's head even if he wanted to. His negativity was spreading and the Conqueress could clearly see the sadness, jealousy, and a tinge of anger within his soul.

Somehow... she felt the same. It was uncomfortable that she blurted out, "Avion, what's the case?" coldly.

"Oh... umm... nothing."

"Hm?" Darea bitterly furrowed her brows. Avion became timid to her which was unnatural.

"I mean..." Avion then released a sigh and composed himself, showing his dispirited behavior, "I'm just thinking about something. Sorry."

"No need to apologize."

Even though she said that Avion knew that she was a bit angry, not that he knew why that is the case.

After breathing deeply, he began to assess the situation, "I only see either two things happening here. One is that the king and Mettany are fighting. But that is very unlikely. I don't think she has any feud with the King of Karan... yet that is still a probability since I actually don't know a lot about her."

Darea saw some hesitation and pressured, "And the other possible scene?"

Avion's eyes frantically wandered around first, 'Should I say it? But it's not a secret that she has a unique Conditioned Elesk.' making up his mind, he continued. "I have already told you about once before that she has a unique Conditioned Elesk. That Conditioned Elesk makes her powerful by being in contact with men. If that man is stronger and has greater appearance then that she will become stronger."

"..." Darea "stared" at him, dumbfounded.

"What...?"

"Isn't that the definition of a Lust Holder?"

"Lust holder?" Avion blushed but was confused at the same time.

Suddenly, Darea doesn't feel the sensation earlier. Now... it's more of... anger?

'She's a Holder of Lust... huh... doesn't that mean that she tricked Avion? After all, I guessed that his original appearance is pretty handsome... hehe...' a killing intent rose which Avion was oblivious about since it was not directed at him.

'Playing with my servant's feeling is a no-no...' Darea composed herself. She stood in a very alluring position as she thought to herself, 'But how do I tortur-... ehem... remove her out of my servant's head? My Avion would be very heartbroken if this Mettany were to disappear all of a sudden.' her eyebrows then rose in realization.

Avion glanced at her. Although they were together now for more than a year, he couldn't get used to her slender, hourglass figure. However, he was in no mood to admire this beauty. It was just... strange how she moves like that as if she was uncomfortable in every position.

But at the same time, her curves were focused on every movement. Her white long hair that was tied in a ponytail as usual casually waved along with her every transition. It was as if she was intentionally doing it and was aware she was alluring.

Avion didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing that he was not in the mood. After all, although he had someone he likes, no man would be able to resist this beauty beside him.

'This is the first time I see her like this.' he was very confused. But if Darea was in her Immaterial Body, then not only would his confusion be intensified, but also, a tinge of fear and worry.

He does not know what is the meaning behind that smiling perky lips of the Conqueress.

Meanwhile, the white-haired beauty herself was still plotting. Secretly, even if she doesn't directly admit it, she was relieved, causing her this coquettish behavior. If this woman, Mettany was also a fine woman, the Conqueress would continue to frown.

Her worry instantly disappeared when she learned that this silver-haired girl was a Sin Holder. Meaning, there are a lot of reasons Darea should deal with her.

'What should I do? Maybe I'll wait for her to show her true nature to Avion before culling her... hehehe.'
