Chapter 261 Say Ahhh!

Sitting in a lotus position, he spiraled a dome of fire around him for privacy.

Of all the secrets he had divulged to his team, the only one they were yet to understand was his system–that he had no explanation to and wasn't going to stress himself in giving the descriptions.

Ayanami was held back by Obsidian's tentacle, with a grin plastered on his face. "It's best you stay away from the heat."

Ayanami did not attempt to struggle and her gaze was on the spiraling flames in front of her, wondering what he must be doing to keep it a secret from someone who is already mute and those who worked for him.

'Aren't you curious about what he's doing?' She spoke in her thoughts while staring at Obsidian the whole time.

Feeling uneasy and coupled with his inability to do anything to her, he rolled his eyes and looked away.

While inside the dome, Nix exhaled and inhaled to keep his cool as he prepared for the worst that could happen to his points.

[Inventory available]

[Number of items: 5]

[Storage space: 20]

His eyes were glued on the healing potion but turned it down as he felt that it could only be used by him or in a dire situation.

Requesting the help of Mune, he watched as a ball of light burst into a teenage version of the little Mune he missed.

He let out a sigh of disappointment at the similar resemblance to Lumina which made him desire her presence.

Mune pouted immediately as she looked at Nix.

'What is it?' Nix muttered in his thoughts, breaking the silence.

Mune knelt and shook her head in refusal to his question.

Nix hissed in response, disturbed by her mood swings.

[You don't look happy to see me even though you summoned me]

Nix gulped and sweatdropped, realizing he had been caught to a degree.

'That isn't true.' Nix coughed out.

[Your brows creased the moment we locked eyes] Mune whined.

Before Nix could quickly defend, Mune continued once more, [Why are we inside a dome of flames? Are you going to spank someone soon?]

Nix's brows twitched at the latter question, feeling it was a slap to his pride and purpose of summoning her.

'I need your wisdom...'

[Correction, you need my 'help'] Mune stressed the last word with a big mischievous grin.

'Why the hell was I given such a wild guide?' He muttered under his breath and clicked his tongue.

Mune could pick up on the faintest sound and had caught on to what he had said, yet chose to say nothing.

Instead, she gave a smile and walked behind him, placing her hands on his shoulder and nestling her chin on his head.

'You aren't little anymore, your chin would drill a hole in my head!' Nix overreacted, struggling to get free from her grasp.

Using her augmented strength, she held him in place. [So that's the issue, master?!]

'What?' Nix immediately replied, perplexed by the serious tone in her voice.

[You don't like that I've permanently grown to this size] Mune related and let go of her grip on him, walking away and returning so she's in front of him.

Holding his gaze, she cupped her boobs and gave them a lift with a seductive grin.

Nix's jaw dropped at her action and tore his gaze away from her cleavage. 'There must be a glitch in the system.'

[No, there isn't] Mune countered, showing she could also read in on his thoughts if it concerned her.

Nix stared at her with wide eyes and pushed back as he was wary of her actions.

[Remember I am a guide created from your desire. Have you ever wondered why I didn't like Lumina at the time?]

Nix was taken aback by her question and thought it through for some seconds, 'you share a fairly similar feature with her.'

Mune narrowed her eyes and shook them, [You had the desire of wanting something who could care for you, love you, and has red hair. I happened to fit that desired fantasy]

Nix could feel her reluctance to continue, he was partially regretting summoning Mune, it might as well have been better if he had waited for an upgrade so he could get a resolution reward like he had gotten a few times.

[Lumina came along and she happened to fit that description perfectly and underlying jealousy and her protection could be deadly sometimes, yet it did show she truly cared about you and that made me jealous and because of your desire, my body slowly morphed into a younger version after the system reconstruction]

Nix was left stunned by her words, he had finally understood why she had taken the form of a teenager instead of an adult like Lumina.

His desire had been the one that had changed her outlook physically and had unintentionally made her act the way she did. The unique thing was her vast knowledge of the world he is living in.

He couldn't bring his thoughts together to address what she had done earlier.

Mune understood his train of thought even though he didn't say anything. She pulled back the loose strap of her purple silky gown.

[Ahem! Master, what do you need me to do?] She pushed back a strand of loose hair behind her ear.

Nix shook his head, getting his bearings and exhaling.

'I need an item, one that is different from the rewards I get for my occasional specified level up.'

Mune scrunched up her nose and tilted her head in confusion.

Facepalming, Nix decided to take things slow. 'I need you to ascertain if it's possible to get rewards manually.'

Mune's face lit up with his question and she bobbed her head in response.

Explaining the sort of item and its features, he sealed his lips the moment he was done.

Mune nodded her head and thought about how she was going to break the news to him on a personalized resolution reward other than what the system randomly gives to fit a situation currently or in the long run.

'Great! Then ho–'

[But it's going to cost you a certain amount of points]

Nix smiled, already expecting such a response, and never flinched when she called out the number of points.

Nodding his head to her condition, she was perplexed on why he didn't give the usual act whenever she called out the points needed.

[Are you sure, master?] She looked at him, worried that he was merely faking it so he wouldn't throw a fit.

"I'm sure." He replied calmly.

[What exactly do you need this strange poison for?] Mune conjured a glowing green liquid when set in motion in a transparent vial with its body circled by a silver elongated dragon, closed by the torso of the dragon resting calmly on the silver lid.

'How about I test it so we could find out with a human experiment?' Nix snickered with a twisted smirk.

Opening his palms, he requested she give him the vial.

Reluctantly Mune did as she was told and placed it gently in his, [you do know that is a deadly poison with unstable properties, master?]

Nix nodded his head and said with a grin. "It's worth the points I lost."

Hiding the vial in his pocket, he was prepared to continue with his plan. Deactivating his gift, he was greeted with the restrained body of Ayanami a meter away from his face with tears in her eyes.

"What the heck is going on?!" He turned to Obsidian for answers–he was the one who looked like a criminal caught in the act.

This is a sponsored line break announcement. If you are not reading on nov(el)bin(.net) then the content is stolen. Support the creator on nov(el)bin(.net) and check out their other works.

Obsidian whistled and relished in the fact that Ayanami couldn't blab about what he had done.

When he felt killing intent from Nix overcome him, he went to his knees. "I was wrong."

Nix raised a brow, not expecting such a response.

"She had been who she was even when mute and had made me pissed, so I just wanted to scare her a little," Obsidian confessed, looking down at the floor so he could avoid eye contact.

Nix looked over to a shaking Ayanami from the ordeal. She looked relieved and scared, as though no longer approaching his flames had saved her from being toast.

"Let her go." He ordered and took long strides toward them.

Obsidian gladly let her go with a thud, "whoops, my tentacles slipped."

'You're such a child sometimes.' Nix shook his head and looked down at Ayanami.

"Your troubles will soon be over." He snickered and grabbed her by the face.

Dipping his hand into his pocket, he brought out the vial. The moment the eyes of the dragon spotted its victim, its silver eyes glinted for a second and the stopper opened.

Obsidian watched with curiosity, wondering how Nix had brought the vial along and what it could do. This was the only part of the plan that they were yet to understand when Nix had explained–"you would know the climax of the plan if you see it."

'This is the climax of the plan.'

Mune hovered beside Nix, eager to understand the usefulness of the poison vial.

"Say ahhh!" Nix opened his mouth as a demonstration.
