Chapter 683.

Chapter 683.

Davey faced Neltarid[1], whose true gender remained unclear..

"Why are you calling me Freyja? You would cause a great mishap by desecrating the goddess in front of the Saint."

With an expression that remained unchanged, Neltarid waved their hand gently and said, "Even if time flows and flesh changes, how could I possibly forget you?"

As they spoke, they touched Davey’s cheeks. Then Davey lost control over his body in an instant. What was the use of elevating his spirit to the level of a demigod if he could not use any of it at that moment?

After they subdued Davey, they then leaned closer to him and placed a kiss on his forehead just as he manifested the Power of Taboo. But at that moment, golden chains appeared and slowly pulled them apart.

"Freyja has noticed."

Considering it was Freyja’s domain, it was only a natural outcome for her to notice.

Davey could feel Neltarid’s eyes on him even if they were close. Then, after a moment of silence, Neltaridbegan to let time flow again.

"When the Roar of the Moon comes for the seventh time, Freyja’s dimensional barrier will completely dissipate." With their eyes still closed, their gently stroked his cheek and further said, "The remnants of the hidden Absolute Gem will be fully revealed."

When Neltarid spoke of seven Roars of the Moon, they meant seven months.

"All those who yearn for that power and are captivated by its light shall gather,” they declared as they began to transform into light, as though they had caught fire. Meanwhile, to Davey, who was listening, Neltarid’s voice seemed to be moving away, as though becoming distant.

"Why are you making it so hard to have a proper conversation with you..." Davey replied, but he ended up freezing halfway through his annoyed complaint.

From every direction, something that looked like bizarre hands with colors reminiscent of the night sky emerged and closed in on him. But he didn't feel fear upon seeing them. Instead, instinctive panic overcame him, knowing somehow that he shouldn’t let them touch him. But as thousands upon thousands of them got closer, Neltarid shone and emanated power, making all of them halt as if by a miracle.

[...]

Davey quickly changed his attitude and laughed lightly. He even said, "Ah, you might as well keep shining like that. Oh, it was dark, but now it’s all sparkly and nice."

In response, Neltarid lifted their hand and flicked their finger lightly. Davey then felt himself begin to disappear, as though he were evaporating.

[Freyja, who promised to be my other half.]

The voice, which seemed to belong to a young boy, became more harmonious and pleasing to listen to.

[My mistake has led to a creation betraying its creator and awakening destruction that never should have awakened.]

"That octopus tentacle."

[The awakened destruction will gradually synchronize with me, and the more it does, I would become less and less capable of helping you. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

"..."

[I'm sorry to burden you, Freyja.]

"If you call me Freyja one more time, I'm cutting ties with you on the spot."

[Davey, find the Absolute Gem... Seal the rift that ties Thanatos to your homeland and put him to sleep again.]

"Would that octopus tentacle be a problem?"

[Everything on Earth will change.]

It was possible that the current, brilliantly civilized Earth would change, as if an age were coming to an end.

"You should've taken better care of your power," Davey said mockingly.

But truthfully, he could not really blame anyone. After all, the real problem was the Malicious Spirit.

[Weak as it may be... May my blessing be with you.]

Davey was expelled from the place and vanished completely.

Davey often found himself dreaming.

"Sigh..."

"Ah, it doesn’t matter. It’s not for me to interfere," Davey dismissed. But then he stopped abruptly and asked Yulis, "Isn’t it too early?"

"Haha..." Yulis laughed awkwardly and scratched his cheek. "I apologize. It turns out that she became pregnant."

"Rinne!" Davey screamed without any hesitation. His voice rang out so loudly that Rinne burst through the window as if on cue.

"Rinne’s perfect landing is highly rated!"

"Bring me the crowbar."

Davey radiated a piercing coldness, as though frost was forming around his mouth.

On the other hand, Yulis finally realized he had said something terribly wrong and began to back away.

With a twinkle in her eyes, Rinne tilted her head slightly and quickly scanned Winley and Yulis. Then, when her gaze landed on Winley’s abdomen, she wordlessly pulled out her signature weapon, the crowbar that was known as humanity’s savior, and handed it to Davey.

"Mr. Yulis, exactly just one. I’ll just rip off one thing."

After all, a man's symbol could never be broken, just torn.

In utter panic, Yulis hid his crotch area with one hand and addressed Davey politely, "Huh?! Wait! Prince Davey!"

Davey simply approached Yulis with an icy expression on his face.

"I knew from the start you had feelings for Winley."

Still, this was unacceptable. And if word got out, Winley's chances of getting married would be ruined, and a myriad of rumors about her would also spread.

"Now that you've disseminated your seeds, I can take it away," Davey said coldly as he magically bound Yulis, who was trying to escape in vain.

"Oh... Brother! Please stop!"

Davey felt like he was seething with frustration inside. Although he had always thought that Winley would find love, he also believed that it should happen a lot later.

"Brother! Please! Spare his life!"

At Winley's earnest plea, Davey twirled the crowbar around.

"I’m sorry, Winley. But people must pay for their sins."

The realization that Davey was being serious set in, and Yulis’s face went pale upon seeing Davey’s smile. And when Davey laughed, Yulis awkwardly followed suit.

After a moment of uneasy stalemate, Perserque whispered to Davey, "Did you know? Apparently, Baris showed up to the council meeting looking all skinny and pale. His soul was probably sucked out by Lady Felicity.”

When Davey nodded, Perserque chuckled and said, "And our next target?"

"Lady Felicity."

Unable to conceal her intentions, Lady Felicity had obviously been eyeing Baris since their first encounter, and it seemed she had jumped at him like a leopard to an impala.

Davey flashed a menacing look at Yulis and held up three fingers as he said, "Mr. Yulis, I really dislike people who don't take responsibility. So choose."

"Wha... what do you mean?"

“First, you get engaged to my sister and have your life on the line.”

Yulis swallowed hard at Davey’s words.

"Second, you refuse and die. Third, you just die and bring the entire Red Tower down with you."

Yulis had no other choice given the circumstances, although Davey would still have the fury of a brother who must give his sister away to a different man. But Davey had not realized yet that the logic he laid out would soon put him in a bind.

"That’s right. If you make a mess, you have to take responsibility."

Perserque chuckled as if she knew something Davey did not.

1. The author is using both he and she to depict Neltarid, so Neltarid will be referred to they in the future unless it's a flashback. ☜

2. This is an old-fashioned saying in Korea. It’s about how none of parenting matters in the end because people’s children will take their girl/boyfriends’ side first, not their parents. ☜
