Chapter 385: Nexus Gate

"Huh?" Lilith suddenly exclaimed, turning her burning amethyst eyes to me.

"You're going to eat her?" She asked, flaring her nostrils, "And what do you by chance mean by 'eat?"

Licking my lips, I pulled her in, releasing an evil chuckle, "And what if I wanted to eat her? What will my wifey do?"

"You two are strange. But to be able to resist my voice is odd. Who are you?" The Mermaid with long dark red hair inquired as she came into view under the moonlight.

"Ariel?" I stated, completely ignoring her true name.

Tilting her head, she frowned, walking onto sure with two legs instead of the tail I caught a glimpse of. Studying her gorgeous body coving in artic robes, I grew amazed by the beauty within my eyes.

"My name is not Ariel. It's Vaisya." she charmingly voiced, albeit not intentionally from what I could see. Vaisya appeared somewhat innocent as she did not approach with a guard but instead with curiosity. "I have never seen one of your kind resist my voice."

Lifting her eyes to me, Lilith smirked, clenching my hard-on with a meddlesome glint. "Is it the mermaid, or is it the Scarlet Hair?" She asked, causing me to shiver in pleasure at her firm grip.

"The hair!" I quickly said, noticing Lilith grin from ear to ear.

"HENTAI!!!!" Vaisya screamed, causing me to groan in shock and pleasure as Lilith began to massage me.

"How th~e hell do you know that word?" I asked, bewildered as Lilith curiously turned to her. Narrowing her gaze, she frowned.

"Come out,"

"Umm, can you let go?" I asked as Lilith didn't even bother to acknowledge me.

However, my gaze suddenly fell upon a familiar face causing me to gasp, "Ren? How the hell did you get here?"

"you say my name as if we are familiar," He said, rising from the ocean, with long black hair tied gently behind his head and his arms crossed from behind. He did not appear wet in the least as he stepped onto sure. " Where you not the one who gave me to Baphomet?"

"So he really didn't kill you," I uttered with a cheeky grin, not truly surprised at his survival. "Well, when I heard about your third wish from Truck-kun, you were the best possible choice." I shamelessly uttered.

Walking to Vaisya's side, he interlocked his hands with here's shaking his head, "I would ask you to leave her be, Snow."

Narrowing my gaze, Lilith finally let go a little to my dismay, "You make it sound like I am some type of monster."

"Were you not just talking about eating her?" Ren replied with a stone-like expression.

historical

"The word 'eat' can mean many things," I explained, waving off his concerns. "Are you mad?"

"Mad? Three demons appeared next to me, and before I knew it, I was before my new master... Oh did I forget to say, I am also his disciple. Greetings, senior Brother Snow." Ren maliciously saluted with a half bow, showing a profound glint that seemed to hold me in his sights.

Lifting my lips higher, I approached the man who appeared to be a false God, stretching out my hand, "Greetings then," I said without fear.

Shaking my hands, he scuffed, "To think I would be shaking hands with a murderer like yourself." he said dismissively. "Oh, forgive me. Greetings, Lilith Snow. It's an honor." He greeted her formally, bowing towards my wife.

"Charmed, I am sure," Said Lilith scanning his body with her cold gaze.

"So I take it your still mad? In my defense, I figured he would not kill you. Baphomet is what some might call a mad genius. Care to tell me what he wanted with you?"

Staring at me for a bit, Ren smirked. Knowing we were somewhat in the same boat, he spoke, "He took some blood and some soul energy. What do you think he is after."

"Truck-kun maybe," I truthfully stated, to his shock, "Will not be surprised if he has that angel as well. He still hasn't come looking for me yet, so I take it he is actually busy right now."

"So you know of her," he uttered, revealing nothing whatsoever. "Mind telling me what you know?"

"Secrets and all that, but shall we get down to business. Your Wife?"

"Fiance," he corrected with a warm smile as he turned towards Vaisya, grinning like a vibrant star.

"Well, mind telling your fiance to release my people, "I suggested pointing towards the three men and women hovering above us.

"We could, but how about I take one, and you have the other two for some useful information," he said with a cunning smile that reminded me of an old fox.

'And that would be?" Lilith inquired, lifting her tender lips.

"You two are quite close to a Nexus Gate." He replied, pointed to... well, who cares. "It's unoccupied, but as the celestial daughter, I am sure you can activate it."

"You are rather informed," Lilith spoke, caring with it a probing smile, "I did not think that old monster would be so informative."

"you were under my radar for longer than I would like to admit; the both of you were," Ren explained, turning to his fiance.

Waving them off the bodies of Dreck and Deb fell onto the sand, totally unconscious." I take it we are free to go?"

Scuffing at the thought, I rolled my eyes, "please, you could have left any time you wanted. Why ask permission?"

"As to not get in your path, Snow. I am quite content with my life, and meaningless violence will solve nothing. And I am pretty sure you two are not as defenseless as you make yourselves out to be." He said, arching his lips as Vaisya pulled him away with a grin.

Waving us off, she leaped into the sea alongside Rin. Watching the ring of humans follow after them into the sea, I shrugged, noticing the still gaze of Lilith.

"Problem?"

"Maybe, you think he's an ally?" She asked, shifting her attention towards me.

"I have no idea. Truck-kun picked him, so I know he is strong. For now, let's just keep a close eye on him. Do you know which way he was pointing at?"

"it's South East towards the Kafiea Mountains; I hear that these mountains are covered in a powerful sword intent said to kill those who cannot resist its power."

"Like these shores here? I may have missed it before, but sword intent is radiating out of the shores."

"Now you know the reason it's called the Swords Coast. This land is filled with Swordsman, all of who is proficient in sword intent. Its been like this even before Grandfather came to this land. The Swords Coast is said to be one of Alos's biggest mysteries."
