Yuuya: !!!!!!!!!!!
The moment Lumine said to keep quiet, a heavy pressure fell on Yuuya, making his mouth shut.
Next, she slowly hovered down and her feet land on the ground.
STEP!
STEP!
…
Step-by-Step she walked over to the man. Though because of dense scarlet red aura around her, the more she came closer, the more suffocated Yuuya felt.
And when there as only distance of 5 metres between them, she stopped.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): I told you before, didn't I? I will kill you. And this time, no miracles will be able to save your pathetic life.
The current demeanour of Lumine was completely different than previous one. It was sharp and sinister. And as her cold and indifferent gaze fell on him, the man felt a chill down his spine.
Gritting his teeth, he spoke.
Yuuya: We will…see that.
At this time, he had already opened his system interference and used the rare potions which he got from system and were stored in his inventory. This feature was something only his system provided, to let him use the items even when they were not taken out.
As a result, his strength drastically rose and he was not affected Abyssal Princess aura as much as before.
The reddish-golden eyed girl of course noticed the increase in Yuuya's strength. Still, she remained unfazed and let him be.
DING!
Once he was done powering up, a falcon helmet covered his head.
Yuuya: Let's see if you can handle me.
SWOOSH!!
With the speed far surpassing than what he had while in "Berserker Armor", he charged and appeared in front of Lumine in an instant before swinging his sword at her.
On the other hand, without showing in change of expression, Abyssal Princess just casually waved her hand.
BANG!!
Yuuya: Ugh!!
The normal impact her scarlet-red aura enough to ward him off and blew him away.
Not only that but a mouthful of blood also came out of his mouth as he got system prompts in front of him, telling him that 80% of his organs were destroyed and hence required an emergency treatment immediately.
Horrified, he hurriedly used the healing potions to heal himself. But to his shock, he realized that his wounds were not healing at all.
'Yuuya: What's going on!?'
[Host, the sinister red aura has entered your body and preventing your injuries from healing.]
'Yuuya: It can't be! DO SOMETHING, SYSTEM!!!'
[Host, I am trying but for some reason it's not working.]
'Yuuya: What do you mean!!!'
As he was shouting hysterically inside, his body stopped in air. Panicking, he noticed that that scarlet-red aura emitting from Lumine was suspending him in the air.
Yuuya: Wait, Lumine! Let's talk it out!
He said while trying to break free but it was all in vain.
The Abyssal Princess turned a deaf ear to words. She then pointed her hand towards him before slowly squeezing them.
CRACK!!
CRACK!!
…
Yuuya: GAH!!
The man started screaming as all of his limbs started twisting and twirling.
DRIP!
DRIP!
…
Blood was falling on the ground, dying the ground red.
By the time, it stopped, all of his limbs were now looking like coil.
He was looking at the sky as his eyes rolled back behind his head and both blood and foam was leaking out from his mouth.
The excruciating pain made him unconscious many times but the next would wake him, making him experience the torture again and again.
HISS!!
Suddenly even more aura started coming out of the Lumine. But this time, that very aura turned into beautiful scarlet-red flames. And those flames soon covered everything around whether its ground, sky, or the surface of water.
Then slowly, the Abyssal Princess rose in the sky again.
Before long, she was above even Yuuya and was looking down coldly at him.
The man who had just recovered some of his consciousness, witnessed Lumine raising her hand again.
HISS!!
HISS!!
…
As if finding the queue, all the scarlet-red flames around, started gathering in Abyssal Princess hand.
It was a very horrifying sight to him because it was as if the entire world was submitting to Abyssal Princess and were following her orders.
A few moments later, Lumine closed her hand, leaving only her index finger out.
At first, there was nothing but then a wisp of scarlet-red flame appeared there.
Yuuya: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dread gripped Yuuya's heart as he realized that that mere wisp was the condensed and concentrated flame made from all the gathered flames.
Turning to him, Abyssal Princess pointed her finger towards Yuuya.
The moment she did so, that wisp was flame left her finger slowly made its way towards him.
Seeing the death approaching, Yuuya started struggling even more violently. Too bad that the aura keeping him in the air didn't even budge.
Yuuya: WAIT!! LUMINE!! I AM SORRY!!! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!!!!
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ...…
Yuuya: I PROMISE I WON'T DO WHAT I DO IN MONDSTADT! JUST GIVE ME ONE CHANCE!!
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ...…
Seeing how Abyssal Princess was not responding, he finally snapped.
Yuuya: BITCH!!!! LET ME GO!!!!
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ...
Yuuya: IF I SURVIVE THIS THEN I WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE WORSE THAN DEATH!!! I WILL MAKE YOU MY PERSONAL TOY AND PLAY WITH YOU HOWEVER I WANT!!! NOT ONLY THAT I WLL MAKE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD HAVE A TASTE OF YOU!!!!
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ...….
Yuuya: STOP!!! I ORDER YOU!!!!!!
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ...…
No matter what he said, Abyssal Princess remained indifferent. Since in her eyes it was more than a dying struggle of nobody.
Seeing how his verbal method was not working, he finally turned his last lifeline.
Yuuya: SYSTEM!! HELP, ME!! DO SOMETHING!!! I DON'T CARE WHAT!! I AM YOUR MASTER!! YOU MUST DO SOMETHING PROTECT ME!!! SO, DO SO, RIGHT NOW!!!!
The transmigrated was pushed to his limit to the point that he no longer cared even if the existence of his system will be known to others.
[I am sorry, Host. Something is preventing me for interfering...…I can't help you]
Yuuya: STOP JOKING!!!
Finally, that wisp of flame reached him and entered inside his forehead.
At first, he felt nothing but then he started screaming as the flames started burning him from inside out.
Yuuya: ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
A few moments later, flames burst out from his eyes and mouth.
Yuuya: HELP ME!!! I DON'T CARE WHO!! WHETHETER ITS GOD OR DEMON!! HELP ME!! I WILL WILLING TO PAY EVERYTHING!!!!!
Still, there was no miracle this time. The transmigrated kept on struggling violently because of extreme pain.
Inside, his skin started turning red and then he exploded.
KA-BOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge mushroom of scarlet-red flames rose in the sky, erasing the island along with it while dying the sky same in colour.
The Abyssal Princess was standing in the middle of that scarlet-red explosion but she was completely unscathed.
Her revenge was finally completed.
.
.
.
.
While Lumine was deeply pondering about something, she didn't realize that a golden light shot out from the storm and disappeared into the horizon.
???: Going somewhere.
Though before it could to go further, a hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed it.
Primis: Let me guess. Looking for the new host.
[You! Who are you exactly!? How do you know about me and stopped me.]
Primis: I wonder.
The man replied nonchalantly. This time, Yuuya really died for real. Hence, his system had no choice to make its escape in search for the new host.
Though it would have never expected that someone will intercept him.
[Even if I can't find who you are exactly but you seem very promising. What do you say? Want to become my Host? You can attain a height never before.]
Hearing this, Primis gave him a mocking expression.
Primis: No thank you.
'Primis: I am already approaching the limit of as 2nd Level Existence. A weak system like you can never even dreamt of reaching at the same stage as I am. So, this dead is waste of time.'
[You are declining a System! Do you have any idea of the opportunity you are missing!? Do you know many people wish and covet for a system? Is such opportunity worthless to you?]
Primis: Yes.
[You!!!]
Primis: Anyway, its time for me to get what I come here more.
Once his words fell, blue aura came out of him and engulfed the system.
[You!! What are you doing...Argh!!!!]
The System voice turned painful as Primis blue aura forcefully entered inside it.
[Stop it!! You ae destroying me!!!!]
Turning a deaf ear to his plea, Primis continued and soon reached his destination.
[That's what you are aiming for!!! How do you even know about it!!!]
Primis: There is many things I know. Something that you can't even imagine.
[Stop!!! If you do that you will become the enemy of every system in the existences!!]
Primis: Is that so.
Saying, a cruel smile appeared on Primis face.
Primis: What a haul. Then…I will be waiting.
Replying, he activated the hidden feature.
When he did so, a system window will appear in front of him.
[[ Do you want to DELETE the System? Yes or No ]]
Without a slightest hesitation, he clicked "Yes".
[NOO!!!!!!!!!!!]
CLICK!!
SHINE!!!!!!!!!!!
A burst of light came from Primis hand but he held it in.
Once it died out, he opened his hand.
Now, now two orbs at the size of teardrop could be seen floating his hand. One of them was transparent in colour while the other one was white.
Seeing them, the corner of his lips rose.
Ais: So, these orbs were what Lord was aiming at. Huh.
Primis: Yeah. To most people, they might be useless, but to me their value far exceeds what a system can offer.
Nodding her head, she didn't ask much.
Putting those orbs away, he then turned towards the direction of the scarlet-red explosion.
By now, the clouds and dust had settled down.
.
.
.
.
At the explosion sight.
The Abyssal Princess was still hovering on her spot while her gaze was on where Yuuya died.
After confirming that not even ashes were left, she finally opened her mouth.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): It's Over.
???: Indeed.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hearing the voice behind him, Lumine turned back and looked at the person.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Mr…..Erste.
The Abyssal Princess who was cold and indifferent to everything while showing her majesty till now, finally showed different expression for the first time.
Many emotions appeared in her steady eyes, though the most who stood out her longing and yearning.
Slowly she flew towards him. Her aura which was too much to take for others, as if melted when it touched him.
By the time, she was in front of him, a mist covered her eyes before she rested her head on his chest.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Why…
She asked slowly, though her shivering shoulders were enough to show here vulnerability.
Raising her hand, she started punching his chest.
BAM!!
BAM!!
…
However, her fists didn't have any strength in them.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Why…Why...Why
Primis: Because I know you can do it.
Hearing this, her movements pause.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): W…What if…..I failed.
Primis: You won't.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): How can you be so sure!?
Raising her head, she looked directly into Primis eyes while her face was covered in tears. She was no longer had the same demeanour, authority, majesty of the Abyssal Princess which was there before.
Primis: Because I have been watching you.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Huh?
Primis: All those years of our travelling together and everything that you went through during your transformation...…. I have always been watching you. I have seen everything. All your struggle, hardship, pain you went through and reach such heights. That's why I know, you can do it.
Turning silent for a moment, she asked.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Then What if…..I still...…failed.
Primis: Then I would have intervened and would have made sure you succeeded.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ........How can I still trust you.
Primis: That's for you to decide. Whether you want to trust me or not.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): ....
Lowering her head at his chest again, she spoke.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): You're cruel, Mr. Erste...…You know all along what I answer will be. Yet, you want me to say it.
Primis: ...…...
Sighing, she spoke
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): You're right. Even now I trust you more than anyone else. Because no matter what cruel and ruthless method you use, it was for my well being and to make me stronger...This means also means, I am still a great use to you. Right?
Primis: ...…Yes.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): I see...Then I must make sure that the day won't come when you thinking I am no longer necessary.
Primis: ...
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Fine. If this is what you want then make me go through even more hellish situation, give me even more difficult task...…And I will emerge victorious every time.
She then raised her head again, though this time, there was a genuine smile on her face.
Primis: In that case...…I will be watching like always to all your endeavours.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Um.
Sighing inwardly, Primis then turned towards the destruction behind her.
'Primis: Anyway, with the death of Yuuya, the Phase I of the attack in Mondstadt is completed. Now, we need to make preparation of Phase II. Though there is still time for it.'
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): By the way, Mr. Erste. I want something.
Primis: Hmm? What is it?
Instead of speaking, she moved her arms, coiled them around his neck. Next, she raised her raising head and put her soft lips on his. Kissing him.
Lumine(Abyssal Princess): Mmph~
If Primis wanted, he could have stopped or dodged her, but he didn't.
'Primis: I guess I will let her enjoy.'
Then he moved his hands around her waist and hugged her.
In this scarlet-red world, only two people can be seen kissing without any care of the world.
