Chapter 220 Parasite
Velian approached the mysterious black object with a mix of curiosity and caution. Delviny stood at the ready, her hand hovering over her sword hilt, prepared to act if anything went wrong.
In her mind, it was torture for her to harm Velian and see his blood because it reminded her of the day when he almost died because of her but right now, she knew acting like a coward won't be good.
As Velian drew closer, the object seemed to pulse with otherworldly energy, emanating a faint hum that resonated through the air. He could feel its power, an ancient force that seemed to call out to him.
[Master, this thing is trying to invade our body again, but since it is in small amounts you can hold it, I will start analysing so try your best]
"I'm trusting this one on you, Luna,"
With a deep breath, Velian reached out and touched the object after nodding his head.
As his fingers made contact, he felt a surge of energy course through his body, like a jolt of lightning.
"Uhhhh!" He felt a stinging pain on his finger, but unlike last time he managed to hold it.
"Brother, should I cut it?" Her hand trembling, Delviny questioned with a scared face, but Velian just nodded his head in the opposite direction asking her to wait.
Delviny tensed, ready to spring into action if necessary, but Velian remained calm. He closed his eyes and focused, using his innate magical abilities to analyze the object.
[Analsying the object]
"Luna, hurry up, this thing is trying to escape," Velian understood one thing even without the help of the system.
This black smoke was intelligent and even though it was a smoke, he was able to physically grab showing it had some kind of volume to it.
Slowly, he began to unravel its secrets, unlocking the ancient knowledge that had been locked away for a long time.
[Analayse complete]
Name: Parasite Demon Lord Seed
Rarity: Unknown
Skill: Merging with the main body for a symbiotic relationship
The black object seemed to glow with an inner light as Velian delved deeper into its mysteries showing it wasn't pleased with this development.
Delviny watched in amazement as Velian worked his magic, her hand still hovering over her sword hilt, ready to strike if anything went wrong. But as minutes passed and nothing happened, so she began to relax.
Finally, Velian opened his eyes, a look of wonder and excitement on his face.
"I understand now," He said, his voice filled with awe and happiness.
"This thing is a parasite, which means it has no power, I wondered why it was able to penetrate my defence," He understood how dangerous this thing is.
"Delvi, don't destroy this thing, can you bring me a bottle to keep this inside and make sure all the soldiers are sent to take treatments," Velian ordered.
Delviny nodded, relieved that their mission had been a success. Together, they gathered up the object and prepared to return to their base, eager to uncover more of its secrets and harness its power for themselves.
"Looks like this thing is up to no good," Velian didn't want to put anyone in danger, so he carefully decided to put it in a prison-like place, that was directly under his supervision.
"Delvi, you saved my life again, I don't know how to thank you," Velian wondered how he can pay his sister for all the things, she had done.
He thought about giving her a physical object like a sword or armour, but she already had those things with her, so he decided to ask her directly, without trying to give something that is not valuable and disappoint her.
"Delvi, what do you want for all these things? I will give you anything," Since Delviny is a warrior type, he expected to hear something like a weapon, but her request really surprised Velian as it was the last thing he expected to hear from his strong sister.
Delviny smiled, feeling a surge of hopefulness, when Velain told her to request anything.
"Well, I was hoping that maybe you would consider going on a date with me. You and me alone,"
Velian's eyes widened in surprise, and Delviny's heart raced as she waited for his answer hoping he wouldn't find her request childish.
Finally, he spoke with his eyes looking at Delviny in a strange way.
"Delvi, I would love to go on a date with you. I have been hoping for the chance to ask you out myself, but aren't we doing things in the wrong order?" He laughed remembering all the steamy nights, they spent together.
Delviny's heart soared with joy as she realized that her feelings were reciprocated.
Even though she currently had a warrior persona, she still couldn't give up her princess behaviour fully as she wanted to try things in the fairy tails, she read once she was a little girl.
She and Velian made plans for their date, both feeling a newfound excitement and anticipation for what was to come.
As they parted ways, Delviny couldn't help but feel grateful for Daphnia for giving birth to Veliam
They shared and the opportunity for something more. She knew that no matter what happened, she would always cherish the memory of this moment and the hope it brought happiness to her life.
"Tomorrow, you and me, let's go undercover and visit the city," Velian suggested to which Delviny happily agreed.
After parting away, Velian talked with Luna about what they found.
"Luna, is this by any chance something related to demon lord?"
[It might be, but its goal is not clear, I think it's trying to find a new strong host, even in the memories of Yuvanna, there's no mention of such a thing, but her memories are not reliable as she was a shut-in]
"I remember reading about demon lords, I think mother will know something about them, I better ask her before it's too late,"
He decided to question Daphnia and entered the cast with greetings from all most everyone around him.
