"W-wait!"
On the other side, Lux's (Raiden Ei) steps stopped. She turned around to stare at the source of the voice, her face slightly frowning as soon as she saw the figure of the handsome teenager who was panting.
This surprised him a little. She did not expect Hunter Rank C to be able to follow her movements.
'No, it's probably more like his eyes,' Lux (Raiden Ei) looked at the two pupils of the teenager's eyes with some interest.
"Do you need something from me?" asked Lux (Raiden Ei) indifferently.
The teenager, Emil Falcon, took a breath to calm down and then slowly said as his face turned red. "T-there's something I want to talk to you about."
"Say it."
"I-I..." Emil's face was deeply flushed but he tried to calm down while taking in the air around him then... He made a proclamation.
"I loved you at our first meeting, so please marry me!"
" ... " Lux's (Raiden Ei) expression froze then she frowned. "You-"
"I-I know this doesn't make sense because I'm much weaker than you but believe me I'll become as strong as you! I just need enough time!"
"Look-" Lux (Raiden Ei) was about to speak, but her words were once again cut off.
"And with my status as a part of the Falcon Family, I'm sure both of our lives will be happy! I promise that I will be faithful to you! I'll also never cheat on you and take another woman! So please, get married-"
"Enough!"
JEDAARR...!!!
"HAH?! Ouch!"
Emil stumbled and was dumbfounded as purple lightning suddenly raged madly and struck him!
His expression trembled at the Electro Archon's cold expression. Vaguely, he even saw murderous intent behind her gaze.
Purple-colored lightning ran through Lux's (Raiden Ei) body as the pupils of her beautiful eyes flashed coldly.
"Look, I don't know what makes you have such feelings for me, but I'm not interested in being in a romantic relationship with someone else.
So I refuse. Falling in love, marriage, and the like, it's all just nonsense to my ears.
Then what about your noble status? In front of absolute power, noble status is meaningless.
As for your loyalty, I don't need it. If I want it, I can find someone who is truly loyal to me by showing my sincerity to him. There's no need to bother swearing allegiance.
Also, what do you think with your talent, you can catch up to me?"
"I-if I'm given time, I'm sure I can catch up to you!"
"Oh?" Lux's (Raiden Ei) gaze was very cold. "And how long would that be? Five years? Hundreds? Or... Thousands of years? Do you think I want to wait that long?"
"I-it's..." Emil looked doubtful. To be honest he was not confident enough to be able to reach the same level as Lux (Raiden Ei).
Lux (Raiden Ei) had six powerful Talents while he only had one Talent which was his bloodline inheritance, and that could not be compared...
"See? You doubted." Lux (Raiden Ei) shook she head then she said indifferently. "The men I admire are those who make decisions without hesitation. Unfortunately, you are not among those who fulfill this criterion."
While the real reason was because Lux (Raiden Ei) was not a real woman, but in fact this was Raiden Ei's wish.
Raiden Ei disliked people who lacked firmness in making decisions and people who were weak.
Of course... Even if such a man appeared, Lux (Raiden Ei) would still reject it because once again remember that he is a man!
Even though he was currently in female form but that was only temporary! His sexual orientation was still normal! He still likes girls!
If it wasn't because he needed strength to live in this dangerous world, he would have vehemently refused to become a girl.
But Lux (Raiden Ei) also understood why Emil could fall in love with her.
After all, Raiden Ei was very beautiful and even Lux whose emotions were eroded by the Divine Ice Emperor was affected by her, let alone Emil who was in puberty.
"As for love at first sight? Are you kidding? I think what you feel is lust, not love."
"I-it's not lust! I'm really in love with you! I want to marry you!"
" ... " Lux (Raiden Ei) stared at Emil's gaze. Finding that the teenager's eyes were pure. And indeed... He found no lust.
The real Raiden Ei would probably be somewhat surprised, but that was all. Lux doubted that the real Raiden Ei would want to become someone else's wife...
"Enough." Lux (Raiden Ei) sighed. "As I said before, I'm not interested in any kind of relationship with another person, let alone... Marry her."
"At least give me a chance-"
"Don't force me."
Emil gasped as soon as he heard Lux's (Raiden Ei) cold tone.
"If it wasn't because I wanted to avoid conflict with your family, you would have become a cold corpse by now."
Emil bit his lip and both his hands clenched tightly then finally relaxed. With a downcast expression, Emil began to say. "Is that so... I see..."
Seeing this Lux (Raiden Ei) somehow also felt tired. Actually, Emil wasn't that bad. If his current position was replaced by another girl's heart, that girl would definitely melt under Emil's proposal.
Unfortunately, she instead met him who was a man...
Shaking her head lightly, Lux (Raiden Ei) said indifferently. "If only that-"
Just at this moment, Lux (Raiden Ei) suddenly got a strange premonition. Her expression changed seeing three shadows slowly approaching Emil's figure.
That speed was not something that could be seen by the eyes, even Hunter Rank S would have trouble seeing it, but it was a different story for Lux (Raiden Ei)...
" ... Bow down."
"Eh?"
Emil was a little confused hearing Lux's (Raiden Ei) cold voice then-
Wosh!!! Pause...!!!
Emil was dumbfounded before the intermediate explosion of the collision of the three shadows and the purple thunder suddenly hit him!
"What the-?!"
Emil's body hit the wall hard, creating a huge crack then he unconsciously coughed up blood but he didn't care about the wound now that he was worried!
"RAIDEN!!!"
"...I'm not that weak to worry about. Instead of worrying about me, it's better to worry about your safety first."
Lux's (Raiden Ei) figure was seen with her brow furrowed in displeasure, but seeing that the woman was unharmed, Emil was relieved.
Then he was surprised to find that behind Lux's (Raiden Ei) back was a circle like a sharp disk.
Six points like a pinwheel were curved in purple color. Like a rope, one by one the six points were connected to each other then it formed a circle.
It was Raiden Ei's or Raiden Shogun's 'Desiderata Chakra', a manifestation of her Electro power that would increase her attack damage, speed and be much more efficient in using her Electro.
Right with the materialization of Lux's (Raiden Ei's) Desiderata Chakra, her body was enveloped by purple lightning and the radiance in her eyes was indifferent making him appear much more charming and untouched by mortals...
Seeing that appearance for the first time, Emil was mesmerized involuntarily.
" ... Beautiful."
"Satisfied with it?" asked Lux (Raiden Ei) while giving a cold look that could make anyone shudder.
"Ah!" Emil came to his senses and he hurriedly apologized nervously. "S-sorry, I-I was just..."
Lux (Raiden Ei) ignored him. Instead, she squinted when she found three silhouettes in the shadows.
" ... You're really unlucky to be targeted by the three Assassin Rank S of the Shadow Order," Lux said which made Emil freeze.
"Oh? Look at what we found. Not only were you able to parry the attacks of the three of us simultaneously... You also saw our identities at a glance."
"Not really." Lux (Raiden Ei) said. "Just happened to have an acquaintance who is from your Guild."
"What? That's surprising. There seems to be a little rat. I should report it to the Boss later."
"Too bad, I'm afraid that's not possible because... You guys won't have a chance for that."
"..." The three Rank S Assassins paused then grinned as they laughed maniacally.
"HAHAHA!!! Interesting, interesting! We originally intended to let you go but now..." A murderous and lustful glint flashed in both their eyes.
"The three of us will capture you and we'll rape you and then keep you as a slave. Torture you until you start begging us like a dog!"
"Try it if you can." Lux (Raiden Ei) indifferently.
"HAHAHA! WE CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR YOU MOAN!!!"
"Incidentally... I also want to hear your screams."
WOSSH ....!!! BLAARR....!!
