Inevitable Road To Divinity-Chapter 97 I challenge you
Chapter 97 I challenge you
Going behind her, Xue Ren finally left the cold territory. And because of that, he has realized something...
'I fucked up once more.'
Eleonora knows that he can increase energies by lewd acts! She even herself stepped on him... Xue Ren imagined what would happen if whole country knew that he can increase their energies in such way...
'Would men kill me? Would even women chase after me?'
Sho Yue said that women treasure their first times and are bound to their first man... But for Xue Ren, it was stupid. If man dies, then the woman should go and find happiness once again... In the end, he has to survive and properly take care of his own women.
"Eleonora, you can step on me, but you can't tell anyone about increase."
Snow Princess just ignored him as she went forward. However, in her mind, she was thinking how stupid Xue Ren is. If such information leaked out, then not only her status as princess would be tainted, but as woman as well.
Still, Eleonora has her own plans and decided to keep doing this as she needs power. Not power in numbers, but her own...
"It's up to you whether it can be secret or not. I already saw that you could hold your desires inside yourself though."
'It's because I already touched you once...'
After this small talk, Eleonora didn't say anything just like Xue Ren since they don't have anything to talk. After all, he is going to learn about ranks and ranking soon.
It was also first time for Xue Ren to be so close to the Emperor's castle. He could feel a strange pressures coming out from it...
'Barriers...'
Everything was closely under watch, but Xue Ren wasn't thinking too much about this, but about something else.
The attitude of others towards Eleonora. She was princess yet only commoners had shown her respect... Seeing this, Xue Ren felt like her cold attitude isn't coming from her nature, but environment.
Soon, they entered quite big building. The sight of young girl on the desk greeted them as her cheerful voice rang out...
"Hello, Miss Eleonora."
'Miss?'
It was then Xue Ren could feel the eyes of young girl on him. The eyes that shown pity... But she quickly regained her cheerful appearance when Eleonora ordered her to examine Xue Ren. She herself was interested in Xue Ren strength...
He could properly watch her fight when her snowflakes filled with killing intent were rampaging her enemies. Still, his power to increase energies was much more interesting.
The young girl told Xue Ren to follow him as they entered the room. Since they were alone, Xue Ren decided to learn more about his princess...
"Um, can you tell me about Princess Eleonora?"
"You don't know anything?"
Young girl didn't think much as to why he doesn't know. She began talking with voice of symapthy... towards Xue Ren...
"Her mother took her race and left to their main world. It's said that she had quarrel with her husband, the Emperor!"
And because of that, a lot of people began to leave her fraction. Then, with attitude of Eleonora who was as if she didn't want to do anything, her fraction became completely void of people.
"If she forced you, then let's get your rank and leave this place secretly. If your rank is good, then once you join other fraction, she won't be able to do anything to you!"
"Ah, no need. But thanks for your intentions."
For Xue Ren, the fact that she knows his abilities is crucial. But, there is also Conquer desire. So, for Xue Ren, the most important thing is to learn more about her...
'You can calm down this desire, but there is also Devour.'
He can use Devour to destroy her foundation and satisfy his desire, but such thing is close to death for those who seek strength. That's why, it's all up to Eleonora. If her treatment towards him gets worse then...
'I will Devour you.'
"What's up with this rank?"
"Eh..."
The young girl just shook her head. Where does this man come from? She had such questions, because even those from outside capital know about badges!
"Every badge has its own color. From lowest: white, brown, yellow, orange, green, blue, red, purple, and color belonging to the strongest - BLACK!"
Those colors are also divided into three categories.
Apparently, only Emperor hold black badge.
"Of course, it's only simple rank. If one uses technique that raises the strength or attack that goes beyond ones level, then rank obviously is going to change! Those badges are made from 'Cocytus Stone.' It changes color based on the one's energy quality.'"
It all started when Cocytus Stone has been brought from the lower world to the medium world. It changed color naturally and then, after various changes made by various existences, this stone became determinant of ones strength...
'So I can use a bit of energies here, then use full energy at home to see my true strength...'
The young girl took one white badge and she passed it down to Xue Ren.
It was in shape of star.
Xue Ren then poured into it a bit of vampire aura, magic power and dark energy. The badge shone and changed color to brown one...
The star was barely filled so-
"Brown low rank."
'I didn't use that little...'
Xue Ren felt like something is wrong... Is he that weak? He already had desire to go and see his true rank, but before he could thank the young girl for her work...
"So here you are, new butler of Eleonora..."
The man with quite daring outfit appeared. He was tall and without top, he was showing his muscles that had scales in several places. In his eyes, shone the desire to fight and such desire was already pressuring Xue Ren...
'What the fuck?'
"How about you wear something? I ain't into men."
The man ignored the comment as he shouted...
"I challenge you!"
It was then, Xue Ren noticed the similarity between him and those who had attacked Eleonora. Same red scales and tail that was slamming non stop on the floor.
