Chapter 712: Styx’s Powers
—–
Seconds became minutes, and minutes turned into hours, we spent a nice evening in the grasslands just enjoying the food, the sun, the breeze, and the overall atmosphere. It was a comforting stay and I can happily say that I enjoyed everything thoroughly. The day had yet to end, so we quickly gathered around a large tree with a lot of shadow, and we began to enjoy some cold dessert, ice cream brought from Earth, which is just the best, everybody loves their own flavor though, so we were all eating our favorite flavor.
"Iwe weam…" The cute Styx looked into the ice cream cone, it had a blueberry ice cream on top, this was her favorite flavor apparently, and she never could get enough of it. She used her tiny tongue to lick it happily, and sometimes took big chunks of it with her teeth.
"Chomp… Brrrr…" She sighed, as she felt the ice cream melting inside her mouth, the icy temperature of the dessert made her jaws tremble a little bit.
She looked back to me as she seemed to give me a look as if… she was resisting the cold, her face suddenly got all wrinkly, and she honestly looked very funny.
"You shouldn't eat too much ice cream at the same time like that, you're going to just freeze your brain like that." I said, while I reprimanded her, I petted her head and cleansed her cheeks from the ice cream left with a handkerchief.
"Wowi…" She said, as if saying "sorry", she was so adorable and cute that I couldn't help but forgive her right away… Ah, I am weak.
"It is fine… I love you." I said, as I kissed her forehead.
"Uwaaah! Baba… Papa!" Said Styx, as she grew red when I kissed her forehead, she got very happy over my sudden kiss.
"Papa, I wuv you!" She said, running to my side and hugging my stomach.
"Really?" I asked.
"Wes!" She said with a cute smile.
"I see… I am glad. You're one my greatest treasures… MY beloved little girl… I will make you happy no matter what…" I said.
"Hehehe…" Styx giggled adorably as I hugged and kissed her back, I was so happy to have such a cute girl.
"Papa! You love me too?" Asked Alex, getting a bit jelly, he walked to my side and hugged me as well.
"Of course I do, I love you a lot, Alexander." I said, as I kissed his cheeks.
"Hehehe… I love you too, papa!" He said, hugging me tightly. I raised him with my arms and then he began kissing my face as well.
"Mooch!" Said Styx, as she wanted to join in the affection. The two kids began kissing my face adorably. I didn't really knew what else to do than to laugh and smile dumbly…
As I enjoyed the day, I began to think about what had happened through the week since she was born, Styx had yet to show off any weird or crazy magic. It seems that her magic is very confined as of now, so we won't be able to see any for the time being. I don't know what'll trigger it, but Alexander was using his magic already in anything he wanted, but Styx seems a bit traumatized with this… most likely because her magic probably reminds her of her previous life, so it is better to not force her into anything.
My daughter had been developing quite a bit, but it has been just a week, so we cannot really expect big things to happen, she'll surely take a long time to fully develop as well… But we'll get there eventually, I know we'll do, I cannot really overthink it too much! So I will just keep going forward. I already am happy she is showing a physical form from her usual darkness…
But aside from these things, I have discovered many things regarding her appearance though. First of all, her horns. These horns seem to gather enormous quantities of mana and divine energy! And I think they're something like special organs that absorb this energy and store it for later usage, Axitl horns and Vheslia horns are the same. Cathyl horns cannot do that though, so perhaps it is a trait special to demon-like beings while Cathyl is a beast-kin.
After that… her eyes. She has special eyes. It seems that this blue and red eye has some sort of power. I think she has what's called "Demon Eyes". Withing her status, there is skills called "Demon Eye of Penance" and "Demon Eye of Repentance"… I don't know what they do but they stound strange. She hasn't used them so I guess that's that. I have inspected them and they don't look deadly, they won't instantly kill somebody.
And later, there is the core she has in her chest, this core has a powerful amount of chaos energy and divine energy, this core is like a powerful core of red crystal color, enough to be able to easily fuel an entire planet with mana… Yeah. This core is a weak point, if its hit and somehow breaks, she'll have an energy leak and her body might end up losing its original shape. I think it can be regenerated, but it will take time, and in such state, she'll be weakened. So I have to make her some clothes to protect her core, something that her mother doesn't actually have.
And lastly, there are her tattoos… These tattoos seem to be natural tattoos that magical prodigies are born with, these give her an amazing ability over magic, she can conjure magic without having to make up magic circles, apparently, which is plain incredible, but aside from these things… Aside from these things… I… Well, right! There is also her Trait… the Trait she has is quite… something, to say the least, but it would be an understatement to say it is bad, because it is just at the same level as Alex.
It's named… [Black Demon's Heart Realm].
