“Oh, I see,” Luna nodded, understanding the situation.
A frown appeared in her eyes. ‘Maybe he wants a relationship with Theos?’ Luna thought boldly, part of her paranoia letting itself shine through.
But she quickly brushed those thoughts away. At least, for now, what I observe from Camila is that she doesn’t like Theos romantically.
Although when she looks at him there is admiration and respect in Camila’s eyes, there is just that, admiration and respect. However, she knew more than anyone else that those feelings of respect and admiration could turn into infatuation.
“Ahh,” she sighed, pushing these thoughts out of her head.
What was the point of worrying? She couldn’t do much; Camila was much more powerful than her.
The only thing she could do was just one thing…
“Theos, make sure you beat the crap out of her,” Luna declared with glowing eyes.
If Camila were to get beaten up by Theos, how could she like him? That was logical for her; if Theos brutally defeats and humiliates her, there are no future possibilities for a relationship.
Theos smiled, realizing her intentions. ‘I’ll do my best,’ he assured her.
‘Can’t you be more obvious with your intentions,’ Theos chuckled in his heart at the sight of Luna’s sparkling eyes.
Still, he paid little attention to this, continuing to stroke her silky black hair. In truth, he saw it as normal, after all, she felt threatened by Camilla.
Watching the blue sky, Theos recalled all the events of the trip to the Forest of Treasures.
He could not deny that it was an exciting trip and that, in fact, he almost died. But fortunately, he escaped with his life and, on top of that, he improved a lot regarding his power and battle skills.
Yes, that combat experience he gained from facing off against a Holy Dragon was no small thing.
Also, the Death Fragment was modified and much stronger than before…
‘Later I should analyze the change of the Death Fragment and, above all, the weird memories I have in my mind,’ Theos said to himself.
Indeed, he felt that if he would research more about the Death Fragment he could increase his power quite a bit.
However, the weird thing is in something… ‘I had some memories in my mind, Camilla didn’t? That doesn’t make sense… I should have some strange memories in her mind, I don’t think her weapon and mine work that differently. Although they seem the opposite of each other, they are also quite similar, as if the two would complete each other…’
Thinking about this, he frowned suspiciously.
Lowering his head slightly, he saw Luna tenderly lying on his chest. With that alone, he felt quite happy.
Nevertheless, he immediately became serious, remembering that she wanted to say something to him at that time but couldn’t because Camila was nearby.
“Hey, Luna, I want to ask you something,” Theos suddenly commented.
Luna, who was sleeping peacefully on his chest, opened her eyes. “What do you want to ask me?”
She already knew more or less what Theos wanted to ask her, and in fact, she also wanted to tell him. But she wanted to confirm what he currently wanted to know.
“I want to know what you were going to say that time when you came out of the Bottomless Hole,” he replied, quite curious about the matter.
Luna looked up at him, her beautiful big eyes looking at him tenderly. She caressed his face.
However, even though she looked tender, Theos could sense that Luna was afraid to say what she was about to say.
He didn’t force her, waiting patiently for her to speak.
Fortunately, Luna didn’t take long to respond. “I saw… Something weird,” Luna said vaguely with doubtful eyes.
She didn’t know how to explain the whole situation very well, but she thought about how to do her best. Quietly, she took a deep breath before blurting it all out at once.
“Upon entering the Bottomless Hole, I didn’t see anything at first, in fact, it took quite a few minutes before I saw a violet light. I immediately went there, and after that, strange things happened,” she paused, remembering as best she could everything that happened.
“I went straight to that violet light, hoping that this was the object or something quite valuable, but as I was about to touch the violet light, all of a sudden, it disappeared, just like that. At that very instant, I felt my feet on the ground. Strangely and suddenly, I was on the ground again.”
“After that, a strange shadow attacked me with its weapon and managed to wound me. However, after damaging me, it didn’t attack anymore, but rather gave me a warning…”
Just as Luna was about to finish the explanation, I got a severe headache.
Grasping her head, the pain was so severe that Luna almost fell off the bed. Fortunately, she was held up by Theos.
“Wait, take this,” said Theos, panicking a bit.
It was all quite sudden, from one moment to the next, she fell, just like that.
He quickly took out a Rank A potion from his storage ring and gave it to Luna to drink.
Luna was not careless, she quickly drank the potion without reversal, downing it in one gulp.
Theos sighed in relief as he watched the potion take effect on Luna. She stopped clutching her head, and her frowning zeal softened.
“I don’t know what happened, but it’s strange,” Luna muttered.
“Maybe they don’t want me to tell you anything, maybe it’s a curse…”, Luna murmured again, somewhat frightened by the idea.
Theos nodded silently, his face dark and solemn.
But Luna didn’t react in the same way, even though she was scared, she smiled, not caring about this.
“He told me that HE is destined to win and that you, you will always be a thousand steps behind HIM. I am not destined to be with you, and if I don’t fulfill my destiny, HE will always be more and more powerful…”
Saying this, Luna felt a huge headache, as if at any moment she might explode.
Quickly, Theos moved, pulling out an S-Rank potion from his storage ring; he handed it directly to Luna.
“Thank you,” Theos thanked sincerely.
However, his eyes grew colder and colder until they reached a point of absolute ice.
