Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 181: The arrival(2)

"Ready?"

Felishia asked as Nix went out of his office room. By her side were Camila and Cinzia, all geared up and ready to go out. Cinzia even carried the spear with her. Each of them was extremely tense as well.

"How about you people wait a few more minutes? I will be real quick. I have to take some Neon crystals and other things necessary."

He uttered looking at his team and left to the laboratory and picked a few of the crystals and wore his full metal armor and came back with a sword.

"Okay, I believe traveling through rifts will make you feel fatigued. What are you planning to do? Do you have any suggestions?"

Nix asked looking at her.

"Hmm, I am thinking of a closer place... There is an abandoned temple of the Goddess of wisdom in Sedante. Since I am trying to join forces the Village of Drows is the best option and we wouldn't need to get inside the Cities in this wartime either. So what do you say?"

"Sounds good... It is close to Blazering too."

As he said Felishia opened a rift in the alley and walked into it. In a mere second all the others followed her and Nix did the same.

As soon as he stepped he felt several eyes on him and his mana sense accurately pinpointed the location of those that surrounded them.

The forest was luscious and thick enough to make monsters invisible to naked eyes and a good location for guerilla warfare. It was quite dark as well.

Felishia looked at him and slightly smiled as Nix's hand went back to grab the sword's hilt.

"It is me."

Those three words lowered the ominous pressure Nix was feeling.

Immediately few men and women walked from the places they were covered in. Nix was quite surprised to witness their prowess. It seems they have the ability to merge as one with anything they choose to. 

The number of people was low. As soon as they walked out they all kneeled before Felishia in unison making the others except Nix look in a bewildered way. Because they were still in the Dark about Felishia. They did not know about her past or knew the fact she was a demo god. All they knew was that she is someone formidable.

"Greetings Goddess Felishia!"

A man with long ears and eyes clear as crystal and reminiscent to that of a diamond said with a smile. His skin was dark as charcoal and his clothes seem worn out. Well, they were originally a race that worships and loves nature so the attire was essential to their choice of clothing.

"Greetings Asuha. Pave the way to the settlement and this is all our allies."

Felishia uttered looking at the man's diamond-like eyes.

Nix just quietly observed her attitude which was very different from what he used to see. Her face didn't even flinch nor showed any reaction.

For some reason, all of their eyes were locked on to Nix. It also made him feel uncomfortable as well but, he chose to concentrate solely on what's in front of him to not exhibit how he really felt. 

Swiftly both the drow women and men came towards him and closely looked at him.

"May I know why you are so close?"

Nix asked looking at Asuha.

Asuha and the others noticed that he felt uncomfortable and moved back.

"We apologize for our rudeness. Our Goddess had never brought a stranger and more importantly one from humanity. If I were, to be honest, our kin is attracted to you. You are somehow emanating mana which is very unique and has the traits to absorb or manipulate nature."

Asahi explained.

Just as they were speaking Astaroth appeared beside him, with a dazed expression and began talking.

{AHhh! What he is saying is. Your mana is something of a void that can use all the Attributes. I am truly appalled that these Drows were able to point out at ease. This is also why you did not have any Attribute. You are null and empty.}

'So, is it possible to awaken the so called void as my attribute?'

{That is something I have only heard in myths. Drows found this because they felt like your mana gave out a mixed frequency. Which is very unique and expels unique frequencies every single time. This is probably due to your transmigration when you entered the Primeval cosmo.}

'Have you seen anybody else possessing this attribute? Because from the books I have read the books to find a way to awaken. There is no mentioning about this Void you speak of.'

{As I said it is an attribute that was said to be nothing but a myth for ages. I do not know if you truly possess void as your attribute. I just mere speculated so I might be wrong.}

"I am Asahi, nice to meet you. "

The Drow said.

"He is the Imperator I spoke of."

Felishia interjected between Asahi and Nix.

"I apologize for taking you lightly Imperator."

The Drow said with a bow.

"It's fine."

He said switched his gaze to Felishia furrowing his brows to receive answers about why she mentioned him as Imperator to them.

Felishia explained through telepathy.

'Huh?'

'Alright, I get it.'

He said and drifted his attention towards Cinzia who seemed quite troubled and Camila was still in conflict with her feelings so, it has been a few days since they've had a chat.

Felishia was the one who forced Camila to join since she didn't get to mass level up as well. Though Nix was the one who requested her to do so. It was her that forcefully dragged her.

Apart from all this the two women were very tensed and felt out of place. She was surely dazed that they did not know Felishia was a demi-god.

Soon the drows led them towards a distance where a boulder was located closing the cave.

{We are actually near Sedante and not inside Sedante village. The temple is close by but I will have to introduce you to the members.}

Felishia said transmitting her voice through telepathy.

"Well, if you say so."

He shrugged and looked at Camila who had a grumpy expression on her face.

The Drow women showed interest in him and continuously peered at him. Nix didn't know if that was the reason because even Cinzia wore the same expression.

"Are you a swords Man, Imperator?"

One of the Drow women younger than the age of twenty asked looking up at him.

"No... I just use weapons I can handle."

He stated.

"Is that so? Would you like to learn archery?"

She asked cheerfully she seemed extremely plump and charming enough to get him seduced or attracted.

Noticing the woman's interest Asahi intervened and vouched for her as well.

"In fact, she is a top archer in our Village. If you choose to learn she'd be the best choice."

"Then, I am willing..."

As he was about to accept her proposal Cinzia shyly blushed and clung to him locking her arms around him.

"Nix would you like to learn spearman ship as well then?"

Well, if she let him loose he'd add another woman in the harem and make the completion tougher and she was not ready to let him get anymore women either. She already feels out of reach since Rosalie's and Felishia's presence outwits hers because of their prowess. She also felt like Nix was getting further away from her.

But she couldn't outright speak up these things. Since this will just seem like jealousy and stopping him from his growth just for some attention.

The Drow woman smiled wryly and backed away understanding Cinzia's intentions. But for some reason, he received an angry gaze from Camila.

'Still, acting all tough huh? You cannot even apologize one more time?'

Camila thought looking at Nix who was just walking without giving a damn about her gaze.

Just within a few minutes, they arrived before a cave that's opening was closed by a big boulder. Felishia tapped the boulder with her stave thrice inserting her mana and the boulder slowly moved.

Inside it was two beast-men who moved the boulder. It seems it was a signal to let them open the door.

"Ruilo Magore!"

The men bowed.

Ruilo Magore was the slogan of the group that followed Felishia. The meaning to it was 'Live long.'. This was an ancient term used in Empyrean which Felishia later derived from.

"Ruilo Magore."

She greeted as well.

'Fuck this is some dark cult shit. Right here.'

Nix thought to himself reminding some of the movies he'd have watched when he was on Earth.
