Chapter 568: A Soul, And A Lord
I glared at Lilith, acting all cute, despite almost killing me, and I sighed; Taking a look around at this whole in-the-wall shit hole. There was nothing here but a damn mat to cultivate. Not even a restroom to shit!
"You still mad?" She suddenly asked as I shook my head.
"Not really; my sins are making me more emotional than I am accustomed to." I played off, still a little furious of that bastard Loki giving my wife a gift. That was my job! I provide the presents and the babies! Me!
"Well, I did get you a sorry present! It took me a year to make," She claimed as my heart began to flutter.
Waving her hand, a massive teddy bear appeared. Unable to fit in this small room correctly, he took up more than half of my cave. However, as the bear pressed against my skin, a wave of comfort played over my heart.
"Wanna fuck over the bear?" I impatiently asked, turning to my lovely wife licking her lips.
"I do, but I am saving myself for our wedding night." She softly whispered, tracing the tip of her lips over mine.
"And if I can't wait?"
"Sure you can; you waited a year, didn't you?" She seductively replied, dismissing the bear back to her spiral ring. "From what I saw, Larisa is so heartbroken after you plowed her. she fell into a heavy depression as you never returned."
Cracking a bitter smile, I nodded, "We will see how the next two months go. How did you know I was coming?"
"As soon as you entered this domain, I felt your presence. You should really try to see what your Abyssal Night can do, Sene. If you can think it, I am sure it can do it. How do you think I am able to hide my tether with you?" She sharply said as I narrowed my eyes.
"And your only telling me this now?"
"And I have to pay the price to do so." Lilith softly said, pulling out a crystal of demise that glowed a red hue. My eyes widened, and my soul shivered. Everything regarding why she never told me about certain things began to click.
"What can you tell me?" I solemnly investigated. Lilith only became a god recently, so there is no reason, the Crystal of Demise, should be red unless she did something big.
"My legacy of the Abyss is information. Information that is granted by whatever I touched." She said as the crystal began to acquire traces of black slivers.
"Ok, that's enough! I got it!" With sweat dripping from my brow, I hastily placed my hands over her mouth as she licked my palm. Teasing me with amusement in her eyes. "You are not taking this seriously at all, are you?"
"Not much I can do. Right now."
"Can you use souls to mend this?"
"Sene, I can give you advice, but that's about it. I can guide you, but I will recommend you be wise when dealing with souls." Lilith darkly urged, crossing her arms; she sighed. "There is a limit to how much anyone can take."
Taking her words to heart, a bit of pressure raced over my heart. It seems like there is something I don't know. Lilith could only be talking about the Soul Cores.
'There will be someone there at our wedding to tell you more, but be wary of how you use your Flames of Hellfire from now on." She warned.
Releasing another breath of air, a long sigh rushed from my lips, "All these questions are going to drive me crazy. How have you been in this Sect?"
"Great. But some of the guys are a little creepy. I am already on top of the goddess ranking." She remarked, as her hair turned scarlet and her eyes emerald. Changing some of her bone structure, a different kind of goddess appeared in my line of sight. A firey flame made one wish to fall in worship at her gaze.
Smirking, I narrowed my eyes, "Are they now? At least they recognize my wife's greatness." I said, tracing my hands over her cheeks; she leaned into my palm, and her cheeks turned red, reaching all the way to her ears. "What is Julius' battle prowess?"
Studying the confusion, Lilith suddenly laughed, "You want revenge, don't you. I did hear he kicked your ass. Forget it, Arsene, you will never when if he uses Into the Abyss. Those of the Abyss are not meant to be killed, much less challenged. "
"There Battle Prowess, and mine." I repeated.
Lilith chuckled sinisterly, "They are at Paragon, all of them. When we use Into the Abyss, our battle prowess rages, and we have access to every single ability of our kind. Every power and every experience. And that is but the first ability of our kind. There is a reason they are not allowed to leave the Abyss."
"Aegis mentioned something regarding Paragon. What is it?" I muttered, clenching my fist tightly.
Lilith shrugged, "Figure it out yourself. What I can say is that the First Paragon ever to exist was your brother, Zariel."
"And my battle prowess?" I coldly inquired, never feeling so weak in my life.
What kind of stupid shit was this? I had known the Abyss was strong, and the collective mind made them even more dangerous. But this is crazy, to use any type of Dao without training and all this other shit. A newborn abyssal demon could proberly kill me.
"You are a Lord. At your peak using everything in your arsenal, you bearly touch upon a King. You are very powerful, Arsene; it's just you have yet to tap into your bloodline or truly use the Path of Abyssal Night."
Holding me in her sight, Lilith took my hand, "come, let's go to the Martial Halls. Someone needs a Soul Defense Arte. Leaving you like so will be dangerous."
Pushing the stone door open, I was dragged through the air. Lost in thought, I could not help but stare at the fiery goddess. "Why have you never used Into the Abyss?"
"Because I never saw the need to. I am a soul bender, I have a Crest, and I have every Circle of the Hells within my head. I needed to raise my battle prowess on my own. This not only helps my people but me as well.
"So, are you a lord?"
"I am if I use Circles. One of my favorites is Genisis, a Karmic-Time Circle that makes someone relive all past injuries. A single touch of my blade and death will follow."
"Would have been nice to use on a wraith." I annoyingly recalled.
"Undead are immune to its effect. And that Wraith was undead.." She claimed, shooting me a victorious smile. "
