Gorgeous Jewel
Chapter III Chapter 81

In a dining room with a long table right in the middle of the room, a grey-haired male deemon from the vampire tribe was enjoying his meal. The deemon sliced the piece of meat on his plate slowly as he glanced towards the door.

Soon someone came in, walked slowly and lowered his head until he was standing at the other end.

"Sorry, Sir." Said the man. The figure of the man who had just entered was one of the dragon race.

"Kyrant Volge's. What's making you late?" Asked the man sitting at the end of the table with a cold tone and an annoyed expression.

Kyrant was silent for a moment. He was embarrassed to say the answer but that was the fact. A female deemon from the oni tribe who looked weak in his eyes was able to overwhelm him.

Kyrant remained lowered as he said doubtfully. "The woman is much stronger than I expected."

Hearing such excuses not coming to his wits, the man deemon threw a eating knife and darted past the corner of Kyrant's eye. The throw so fast it gave a slight scratch on his cheek. The dinner knife was firmly stuck to the door behind Kyrant.

"Has your dragon race already completely lost its power?! What kind of shit do you think that's?" The man gently wiped his lips and stood up. "I'm asking you once again. Can you do that plan?!" Continue asking in a firm tone.

Kyrant immediately bent his knees in front of the deemon. "certainly Mr. It was my fault for taking the woman too lightly. Next, I can definitely get the kid."

The man nodded then walked past Kyrant. A male servant rushed to open the door in front of him and let the man pass by while bowing slightly.

"In a few days, we'll carry out the plan. Remember Kyrant, this is also for the sake of your dragon race."

The man left Kyrant alone in the room. Kyrant walked up to the wall and hit him. "Damn! If not for this slave seal...!" Kyrant looked at the symbol on the back of his hand which was the bondage seal. He clicked his tongue after venting his anger on the wall.

The dragon race that was so powerful and haughty was the only race that was difficult to get into contact with. Because of their strength which was much greater than the other races, the dragon race had always looked down on the races other than them with inferiority. Their attitude and outlook towards the other races was not much different from the Elves.

I don't know what happened to Kyrant until he got the slave seal.

As for the slave seals on the Arkham continent, they have a stronger influence than those in the human world. The powerful rank of even that slave seal could affect one's mental and memory, even though it took time to do so.

After collecting the results of the hunt he got while traveling to the city of Demonscar in the hunting union, Alice also rose to become a platinum-ranked hunter. Now he can access the contents of the library more freely. Easy again, Alice had gained a lot of policies after rising in the rankings. But for him, that level rise was no longer his goal. Alice was currently still worried about whether or how she met the Demon King.

Alice is currently in the suburbs precisely on an empty field. Alice felt like she needed some alone time to think about things. Either the way home or his daughter.

"I feel a strange energy surge in you. What energy is that?" Nyx asked suddenly through her sea of consciousness. Nyx's sensitivity to the surroundings including Mana's energy flow has returned since she restored her condition.

"How did you get it?"

"I call it Qi."

"Qi...?" Nyx never heard of it. What is qi? Ask Nyx to herself.

"Yes. That's my secret. Different from the people out there. I studied this Qi energy after I lost my Mana Heart. I was caught in helplessness. Therefore, for the sake of protecting my family and those around me. I trained hard to get to what I am today." Obviously Alice, even though she was actually still hiding about her reincarnation.

"Hmm.so Qi that's the strange energy I felt back then. Then how do you collect that energy?"

"I guess for those who have the Mana Heart, it would be difficult to do so. But the probability is not zero. Because the Qi energy was not much different from the Mana that was in the air. You just need to feel it, understand it and absorb it into your body. In addition, the way it flows in the body is also different. Qi does not flow from the heart to the rest of the body but from several points in the body called dantian. It is from there that the absorbed Qi will flow throughout the body as energy."

Nyx buzzed while nodding. "so apparently. From your explanation I understand a little. It was indeed difficult for those who had Mana Heart. Witches who were used to storing and flowing Mana through their hearts would certainly not be able to forget this and do other methods simultaneously. Moreover, they should be able to understand Qi as they began to know Mana. Oh. I almost forgot. What's your relationship with that little girl?"

"As you can see. She's my daughter."

"Huh?! Hm...From the looks of it, you guys are indeed similar even I can imagine you as a child after seeing it. But. Aren't you just getting old..." Nyx raised her finger while counting slowly while recalling how long she recovered herself.

"The story is quite long. I don't know why he looks the same as me. The only difference between us is the color of our hair and eyes. At first I was a little heavy-hearted when he called me Mama. But, after being noticed, she was so adorable."

Nyx looked at Alice with astonished eyes and disbelief. "Worrying? Don't you realize how terrible the power inside him is?"

"I know, all this time I was suspicious and always wondered about his identity. But Echidna doesn't have any memory of her when we first met."

Nyx breathed her heavy breath. "Well, since she thinks of you as her mother, I think that's good too. I almost thought that she was a goddess who came down to Aria with her powers."

"Is he that strong?"

It was as if Nyx was pointing her index finger right in front of Alice. "Yes. Although it's not like a superior god like us, but you need to know that the god entity itself is enough to shake Aria."

"That's what it looks like."

Alice remained silent for a moment. Should he make a breakout? But where? In the Demonscar continent there was no safe place for him to make his breakthrough. That surge of energy would definitely attract the extremely powerful deemons and monsters. If only once he was distracted in the middle of the process. Then he would be cut off from his cultivation path or worse, he would lose everything. Based on his thoughts these few days. He felt that Erebos had a close relationship with the person behind the screen who was watching him at the time.
