Chapter 263 Feels Good Creating Destruction
\'Calm down Nix, you can do this, you have done this before!\' He told himself as he exhaled.
Closing the wardrobe and opening it once more, he pulled out a black bathrobe.
Shutting his eyes, he turned around and threw the bathrobe at her and spoke coldly at her, "you should keep your libido till we leave here. I can\'t afford to mess up this opportunity."
Lumina\'s mouth was slightly gaped open at his words, her hands holding the bathrobe. Tears brimmed in her eyes at his words, she had not planned to have sex with him yet but rather tease him in preparation for what he had promised.
His words made her stare at herself in disbelief, thinking that the idea she wasn\'t attractive enough to look at and the numerous times they had stopped midway was only a testament to this.
Nix had just brushed past her when he stopped and shoved his hands into his pocket, opening his eyes but making sure not to look behind him.
"You do know I care about you, right?" Nix muttered just enough for her to listen.
He let out a sigh and pushed back his hair, "it might sound unbelievable but there have been times I wanted to devour you right then, but couldn\'t because I can\'t treat you that way..."
Lumina had wanted to reach out to him, but didn\'t, instead, she asked about what he meant.
Nix wanted his past life done with, he wouldn\'t be the same guy that could get away with any female he was interested in.
"I needed to convince myself of my feelings first and not lust. Until there was a clear definition between the two, I couldn\'t do anything." He chuckled at how stupid he felt for going against what he would have naturally discarded while he was still in his previous world.
\'I\'m not a f*cking virgin, maybe this body might but why do I feel embarrassed?\' He brought his hands to stare at it and his erection which pressed on dangerously.
He muttered out a curse at how it hurt to try to quell his desire.
Lumina was too stunned to reply and could only stand frozen with tears brimming in her eyes, blaming herself for causing him to have an internal battle with himself even when he had their welfare in his thoughts at the time–they were meant to leave.
"By the way, I\'m sure your body would be drop-dead gorgeous. It would be best to see the moonlight outline every curve." Nix chuckled a little and looked at the ceiling to distract himself.
"Could you put the robe on, pick a cloth, and change in the bathroom while I get the remaining stuff?"
Slipping the robe, she tied the belt and did as she was told, but when Nix heard the door slam shut and looked behind he was shocked that Lumina was in front of him with a bright smile.
Giving a light peck on his lips and pulling away, "thank you."
Not allowing him to react, she dashed towards the bathroom and closed it behind her.
Nix blinked a few times to get a hold of what he had just experienced and a wicked grin spread on his lips.
\'You still got just a few more things to pack, concentrate stupid!\' He scolded himself and quickly went back to work.
–––––––––––
Stepping out of their room, he looked at Solis who had a bright smile on his face as he leaned on his sister like a child.
He could guess that he must be overjoyed that they were leaving for a place that didn\'t offer stress and pumping adrenaline as the academy and organization did.
"Are you pumped for the trip?" Lank placed his arm over Nix\'s shoulder.
Gia had a timid smile when Lank threw a wink her way, she immediately rushed towards Lumina and gave a hug, and tried to latch on to her for social support.
They all did a head count and realized that the two in room 4 weren\'t out yet.
"What\'s taking Obsidian and Alex a longer time to get done?" Luna immediately spoke up in irritation.
Pushing her brother off her, she stormed to their door.
Bang!
Bang!
She hit the door in fury, adamant in making them come out before she broke down the door. "What could take guys so long to do when we ladies are up and done?!"
Click!
She had not prepared for it to be open and found herself getting sucked in and falling on someone.
"Luna?"
Luna gasped when she realized who she had fallen on–Alex!
"Alex?!" She gasped in shock and pushed away from him in a hurry but was pulled up by Obsidian.
He wasn\'t pleased with what he had seen and snarled at Alex.
"Jeez! Dude calm your butt down, she had been the one who fell on me." Alex rolled his eyes and dusted his white shirt.
"Now I gotta change again!" He cried out in frustration, storming off towards the wardrobe.
"Obsidian, you could let me down now." Luna looked at her dangling legs and the fact that Obsidian held her under her armpits when he pulled her away.
Solis burst out laughing and pointing at the position his sister was carried in.
Cross popping veins made their way to Luna\'s head and she shot a mist that intentionally obstructed his vision.
She watched with amusement as Solis begged for the mist to be removed as the only way he could remove it would be to use his ability to counteract it but the light could temporarily blind him with such a concentrated light he would have to generate.
Obsidian gently dropped her to her feet and apologized for his action, Luna simply gawked at him with a warm smile.
Even though Solis couldn\'t see, he could guess what his sister was doing. "Would you stop fantasizing about him and help out your blood?"
This broke off the little time she had to stare at Obsidian and clenched her fist which made the mist solidify and cling onto Solis\' face before it dissipated.
Nix had a smile, pleased that he had his team together, they were minutes away from leaving and that left a good feel to it as he nodded towards Obsidian.
Obsidian nodded back and engulfed his luggage in his black sphere which levitated and hovered while they awaited Alex\'s return.
Coming out with a plaid long sleeved button down shirt, Alex had a grin and his luggage thrown over his shoulder.
Creating similar black spheres that took his teammates\' pieces of luggage he made it so that it followed the respective teammates who had the luggage.
"Are we all ready to leave with a blast?!" Nix announced with much energy.
They all nodded in response and threw their hands in excitement. Giving enough distance away from Nix, they all watched for what he was going to do.
Nix was the first to activate his ability as his eyes glowed. Instead of using it immediately, he went with the first phase.
"Come forth!" He commanded coldly as blue mist seeped out of his body and began to converge and materialize into Raz and Rekor.
<How tiny is this space?> Raz questioned its twin with a smirk.
<Should we tear down this whole place?> Rekor suggested with a similar mood.
\'Would you two concentrate on the most important thing? or I would cancel my summon, how would you like that?!\' Nix threatened.
<You\'re...> Rekor began and expectedly Raz completed its statement.
<... no fun!> Raz did complete it.
\'F*ck fun, you\'re brought out for one purpose, it\'s either that or I look for another way.\' Nix snapped.
They all watched in horror at finally seeing the twin dragon, apart from the distinctive blue color of their scales, they could see the jagged razor-sharp teeth that were visible with the creepy smile put up.
"I–Is that dragon smirking at us?" Solis pointed with shaky fingers at the dragon and whispered to Alex.
Alex couldn\'t respond while being mesmerized by the dragons. He could tell these dragons even with their creepy look, were more docile than the red dragon that looked like it was driven by bloodlust and happy to duel with him.
Seeing the sort of beasts within Nix, his respect for such a person who had tried to hide such power was unheard of.
Nix had been able to know from Mune that these dragons had numerous abilities akin to each of their colors–as mythical beings, they were the first to develop such abilities(as a mix of magic and gifts) thousands of years ago blessing those who had helped them in the past up until it spread to the majority of the population.
It wasn\'t until a century ago when the direct descents turned against them and treated them as monsters so they could contain the interaction with a dragon and anyone who would be able to harness the dragon\'s abilities.
That hate and fear had been embedded into their descendants and had successfully prevented anyone from approaching one directly–this had led them to be territorial and steered clear of the last remaining territory of the humans who they deemed ungrateful and doomed for destruction.
<Ready?> Rekor questioned Raz with its mouth wide as it gathered blue energy as did Raz.
<It feels good to create destruction!> Raz replied as it was nearly ready to launch what they had gathered.
