"Come with me." Nux spoke with a determined look on his face. "Where are we going?" Aeliana questioned. "To Umbrasol." "What…?" Aeliana blinked in surprise. Umbrasol? There was only one reason Nux would take her there— "I am going to devour you and the others and prepare for the Seer coming after us. From what I know, she cannot enter our Universe, so as long as we all hide in there, we will be safe." "What are you talking about? You know you cannot do that." Aeliana frowned. It wasn’t just her; the rest of the women who heard Nux’s words were taken aback as well. After all, they knew he was dead serious. But… If they followed through with this plan, then the moment the Reaper’s Veil disappeared and the Universe realized that the Leanders had disappeared again, it would attack Yrniel. This was what had been stopping Nux from doing all this. "I’ll use all the slots I have gathered. I’ll devour you and the others, and everyone that is close to us—the Progenitors, the Lust Family, the Bloodhearts, the Skys, Royce and his family, the Felines, the Frostwillows, and everyone I can—until all the slots run out. We will cut short the losses as much as we can. I’ll also break through to the Primordial Stage, which will allow me to turn everyone I devour into immortals with Absolute Laws. This way, we will not only have an army, but since my Universe’s Cultivation Bridge allows its people to grow independently and reach the Eternal Stage, we will hide inside my Universe until everyone in the fighting force is on that level. This will give us a fighting chance when we go against the Seer. The only problem is that she will not come alone—she will inform the Supreme Worlds, and with them working together, winning… might not be possible." Nux’s expression turned grim. In his mind, he had already started imagining different scenarios where he would face the Seer and the Supreme Worlds together. He even thought about devouring Azriel and freeing him from Yrniel’s bounds. However, he wasn’t sure if his Universe was strong enough to support a monster like Azriel. "Nux…" "Nux." "NUX!" Aeliana, who had been calling Nux for a while now, shook his entire body and raised her head. Nux, who had pretty much lost his mind as he tried to come up with a plan, finally came out of his reverie and stared at Aeliana with a lost look on his face. "Your plan would annihilate Yrniel." "But I will be able to protect everyone. I will be able to protect yo—" Nux was about to answer, but suddenly, Aeliana leaned forward and sealed his lips. "…" Nux froze. In an instant, all his messy, uncoordinated thoughts slowed down, and his bubbled-up emotions burst out. His most primordial urge took over, his canines elongated, and then— Pierce He bit Aeliana’s lips and started sucking her blood. "Mnnnhhhh~~" The Vampire moaned, her back arched up as she leaned forward, trying to get even closer to Nux. The two of them slipped, with Aeliana falling on top of Nux. The Vampire, however, didn’t seem to care; she just— Pierce She pierced Nux’s lips as well, drinking his blood that numbed her mind like some sort of extremely strong intoxicant. Thud The two fell down, but they didn’t care. They continued to savor each other’s flavor while they continued to push their bodies toward each other. Nux’s hands moved, groping and feeling every part of Aeliana’s body. The Vampire didn’t resist. She was too busy drinking Nux’s blood to think of anything else. There was no shame, no hesitation, and no delay in their movements. The carnal Lust had taken over their minds. "Mmnnnhhh~~" Aeliana moaned again, her bloodied mouth continued to kiss Nux’s face—his forehead, his nose, his cheeks, his lips, his chin. She had painted his entire face with her blood. The Vampire was marking her territory, and Nux… he allowed her to mark him as much as she wanted. This was it. There were no more questions or doubts about it. She was Aeliana Leander. She was his. And if he had to, he, together with her, was prepared to face the Seer and the Supreme Worlds, even if that meant all of them dying in the battle. After all, they would all be together. Even in death. As Nux’s thoughts cleared up, he noticed something. Yrniel… Every being on Yrniel had passed out again. He frowned as he expanded his senses. Then suddenly, his eyes widened. "Lord Azriel…" He called out. "What?" Aeliana, who was busy drinking Nux’s blood from his neck, froze when she heard her father’s name and glanced at her husband with a frown. "He’s awake." "What?" "Your father, he is awake." Nux answered, and in an instant, Aeliana distanced herself from Nux, her face turning red. "W-Why is he awake!?" She questioned as she quickly cleaned herself. Nux did the same as he then stared at the space in front of him. Crack The space cracked. Yes, Azriel Ruinous was here. "F-Father! W-What brings you here?" Aeliana questioned. The Pseudo Leader of the Ancestral Order had instantly turned into a teenage daughter, trying to hide what she was doing from her father, and… She was doing a very bad job at it. Azriel, however, ignored his daughter and stared at Nux with an annoyed look on his face. "You just couldn’t keep your hands off my daughter, could you?" The man snorted. "Is that the reason you woke up? Were you keeping an eye on your daughter?" Nux narrowed his eyes. "F-Father…?" Aeliana stuttered, her face even more flushed now. She was embarrassed! "What? I worry about you. I just sensed a big spike in your emotions, and it woke me up. I thought you were in trouble." "Shouldn’t you have gone back to sleep when you noticed she was fine?" Nux questioned, and Azriel’s mouth twitched. "I came here because I wanted to see how you were doing. I thought since I was awake anyway, I might as well meet you. Yrniel can support my existence for two minutes." "Father-in-law, please come up with a better lie." Nux answered with a deadpan look on his face. Obviously, he didn’t believe this man for a second. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎 He came here to ruin the moment. He was sure of it! "Father." Suddenly, Aeliana called out. "Hmm?" "Have you heard about the Seer?"
