141 Ch. 141 'Zehell's Pet Daemon'

It's been almost a week since Niken woke up in the past era, and Niken still hasn't found an answer. This made Niken almost give up and get worried.

She was worried that Kazuto wouldn't be able to find her and thought she was dead. Niken hoped that Kazuto could still survive and will not become an evil knight like the white knight. Niken was sure that Lionel and Zehell would help Kazuto not to become an evil knight. So the man would be fine.

What has Niken suspected was not entirely wrong, but also not entirely correct. Kazuto could not locate his inamorata and almost thought the girl was dead. But he could still feel the warmth in his heart, which indicated that his inamorata was still alive. Niken was still alive somewhere.

That's why Kazuto didn't need Zehell or Lionel's support because his mind was still sane, and he had some hope he would reunite with Niken. 

Kazuto climbed a tree until he stood at the top of the tallest tree and activated his magic. A pair of eyes turned red and investigated around for the umpteenth time.

No matter how often he looked for his inamorata, his gaze always ended at the mermaid lake that they had visited a few days ago. Kazuto didn't feel Niken's energy there, he didn't smell Niken's there either, but why did his red eyes tell him that Nike was there?

Kazuto jumped down from the top of the tree and landed perfectly, creating an aura of majestic around him.

"So? Did you find her?" asked Zehell, who just trying tracked Niken's magic presence but to no avail.

Kazuto shook his head sadly while gripping his chest.

Even though he was sure Niken was still alive, his chest nevertheless felt almost unbearable pain for not seeing the girl before his eyes.

Niken, where are you? Kazuto tried to call her through their mind-linking, yet there was no answer.

"Are there no clues at all? Niken is your inamorata, she won't be able to stay away from you for this long," said Lionel, who was nodded in agreement with Zehell.

"He's right. We've been looking for Niken this whole week and failed to locate her. The fusion mark on her body is supposed starting to react to your call." continued Zehell

"At least she is not in danger. If she is confronted with life and death situations, Kazuto will hear the sound of her call."

As a knight who has fused his energy on inamorata, they could call each other whenever they were in a dangerous situation. As soon as they heard the call, they would know their spouse whereabouts.

Just like when Yuki needed help and called out to her inamorato, Zephyr immediately appeared. Or when Niken was almost raped by Deamon and called out to Kazuto, Kazuto could also hear it.

At this time, Kazuto called Niken repeatedly and in despair, but there was no response at all from Niken.

Not that there was no response, but Niken could not hear his voice because, at this time, Niken was in a period of five hundred years before their time.

"Even so, I'm inquisitive where she is hiding. She doesn't know anything about this place."

"Don't give up, let's search again."

"Do you think Niken is going to the lake?" Kazuto's question made the other two men look at each other in confusion.

"It's impossible. Why do you assume that?"

"These past few days, every time I use my red eyes, my gaze always ends at that lake." Kazuto pointed at the lake in front of him with his index finger.

"Well, it's worth to try diving in."

Kazuto and Lionel turned to Zehell in astonishment. Did they not misheard? Zehell intends to enter the lake?

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Are you planning to enter the lake?"

"I'm coming with you."

Lionel rubbed his forehead to hear Kazuto wanted to come instead of preventing.

"Are you crazy? Once we go inside, we will become their food." retorted Zehell. "I heard there is a royal princess there, her magic is far above me, I won't be able to fight her."

"But you said..."

"I said it's worth trying diving in doesn't mean we have to go there by ourselves."

"Then?"

"What's the point of having a pet if I don't use it."

Pet?

Before he could ask further questions, Zehell had summoned one of his pet from his astral dimension.

The pet has a human form with a charming, handsome face and different eye colors. One was red while the other was blue. His hair was so long that it reached his feet' tips, and its brilliance was as deep black as the night sky.

Realizing what kind of pet Zehell summoned initiating Kazuto growled angrily.

"Why do you keep a daemon in your astral?" Kazuto hissed furiously, remembering what the daemons had done to Niken a few months ago.

"What's wrong with it? I have tamed it, haven't I, Flynn?"

"..." Flynn didn't speak at all and just yawned lazily as if he had just woken up before being called by his master.

Then he looked around lazily without caring about a pair of black eyes, which gave him an aura of kill-intent through his eyes.

At first glance, Kazuto could see Flynn's lazy expression then changed to a sad look when the daemon's gaze fell into the lake.

"Flynn, can you get into the lake and find out the whereabouts of a wizard? She is the black knight's inamorata, you will know right away when you smell her magic."

Flynn nodded once, and in an instant, the daemon had disappeared and appeared at the lake's edge. Seeing the ability of the daemon to break through the barrier so quickly surprised Kazuto and Lionel.

"I knew he could get past it. I'm not sure if I can break through that barrier without opening a gap."

"Why did you send a daemon to the evil mermaid's lair? Aren't you afraid your pet will get hurt?" Lionel wondered if there was any point in sending a daemon to a lake filled with evil mermaids.

"He's no ordinary daemon. He won't die in the hands of evil spirits. On the contrary, those evil creatures would hide at once as soon as they feel his aura.
