BXBX NOVEL Chapter 383 Swords
\'Well...I certainly didn\'t expect that...\'
Wain and Erza were the only ones who hadn\'t found a pair yet, which meant they had no other option but to work with each other.
"Ahahahaha, I won\'t hide it, I was hoping it would happen." Ern dissipated, this situation amused him. Wain had tried to avoid even looking at Erza\'s, but now he would have to team up with her.
"It seems fate itself has brought us together." Erza approached Wain.
"Fate is cruel..."
"Good, you\'re ready, and now it\'s time to begin." The white-eyed SpiritSpirit said and raised his hand up, and the other main spirits did the same.
Whooooooosh.
Many small, stone swords flew out of the portals beneath the thrones and headed toward the pairs.
The swords glowed with jewels, in different colors, blue, green, red, orange, yellow, purple, or blue. These were the colors of the eyes of the chief spirits.
A sword with white crystals headed toward Wain, and Erza grabbed it and squeezed it tightly.
"Your task is to stick the sword into the altar, and then you will have access to the ghostly treasury where our auction will take place. Go through the portals depending on the color of your sword." The White-Eyed Spirit stated.
"What happens if we fail?" Some Ashen asked.
"It\'s no big deal. You\'ll just get beaten and come back here, but I hope there are as few losers as possible, otherwise you\'ll embarrass not only yourself but also your ancestors."
"Let\'s go." Erza said seriously and headed for the portal.
"I hope she continues to be so calm."
"Wain, good luck!" Ern shouted and entered the purple portal with Alice.
Wain nodded and headed for Erza, who was waiting for him at the entrance to the white portal.
"Young man, taming a lustful woman is very simple. You need to redirect her passion in another direction." The white-eyed SpiritSpirit suddenly said with a pat on Wain\'s shoulder.
Wain walked silently forward.
Everyone involved entered the portals, including Artur and his assistants.
"Hey, I wasn\'t the only one who felt that, was I?" Some spirit in the stands said.
"Yes, there were two humans among them, one weak and the other possessing an immense aura. That\'s unexpected."
"I hope nothing happens to them. That girl could die." The green-eyed SpiritSpirit said.
"If that happens, then that was her fate."
"Calm down. You don\'t have to think about it. Don\'t forget that we Demons have always been on the side of the humans." The White-Eyed Spirit said, and the others smirked slyly.
...
Walking through the white portal, Wain and Erza found themselves in a massive temple, with many columns and white torches illuminating the space.
"So, what do we do?" Wain muttered.
Erza remained silent and approached him. They met eyes, and Erza abruptly grabbed Wain by the neck, he didn\'t even have time to understand anything.
"Become mine, or I\'ll break your neck."
"You bitch." Wain clenched his teeth in anger, and his aura began to intensify.
"Don\'t bother, you don\'t stand a chance, you\'re weaker than me as it is, that\'s the way it should be." Erza said confidently. She was Inerian, and for her, there was only one type of relationship that a woman-dominated.
"Yeah? Are you sure about that?!"
Dark wings erupted from Wain\'s back, and a phantom snake tail descended upon Erza. Wain got out of Erza\'s grip and bounced to the side.
Erza blocked the snake\'s tail with her hand, and all that was left of It was a faint flop, as if after being hit with a pointer. Her eyes were cold and her gaze cruel.
...
"Ahahahaha, I didn\'t expect it to be this interesting at the beginning." The purple-eyed SpiritSpirit laughed.
"This girl seems to be interested in him, and she\'s Inerian. What a terrible coincidence for him."
"Yeah, I wouldn\'t want to be in his shoes, but it\'s so funny. Ahahahaha." Orange-eyed SpiritSpirit exclaimed.
They could watch any participants and observe their progress. The spirits were not only organizers, but also spectators and judges at the same time.
"Hey, what\'s going on?" The red-eyed SpiritSpirit said excitedly.
"This aura... Why does he possess it?"
The spirits were puzzled watching the conflict between Erza and Wain and were talking among themselves, only the White-Eyed Spirit was silent. He was smiling broadly, as if he had finally found what he had been looking for.
...
"So what\'s next? Apparently, this is one of your strongest skills, and you couldn\'t even scratch me. You\'re a man, and you have to obey me, and I\'ll take care of you. Is that a bad suggestion?"
"Huh, do you Inerians even know anything about freedom? You\'re offering me practically slavery. I\'d rather die than agree to something like that!" Wain exclaimed, and a dark pillar of energy burst out of him.
A thin layer of ice appeared on the floor, and Wain transformed into the Cursed Swordsman. He swung his sword and unleashed a wave of ice on Erza.
Erza thrust arm forward and created a fiery cross that instantly melted the ice.
Whoooosh.
She leaped forward, and lightning struck Wain with her foot and threw him aside in the stomach. Wain broke through the wall with his back and spurted out blood.
"That\'s enough. I let you get away last time, but I won\'t make the same mistake this time." Erza said seriously, walking slowly toward him.
Wain got out from under the rubble and smirked, "Don\'t talk shit. You can\'t kill me since you still need me, but I don\'t understand why even after all this time, you still want to capture me?"
"Because that\'s what my heart tells me."
"Huh, love of Inerians is a real nightmare. Maybe you should use your brain for a second. There are so many other people in the new world besides that girl. Haven\'t you thought about that? I\'m sure you\'re bound to like someone else besides me, so stop chasing me."
"No, the others compared to you are nothing. I felt nothing for that girl, though she is weak too." Erza uttered, and a huge dark orb appeared in the air.
