BXBX NOVEL Chapter 167 One Exception
Temporarily closing his eyes, Hisha let out a sigh as he locked his gaze with her once more. \'How I wish that was the case, then I\'d be able to use a different approach.\'
"It\'s best I don\'t go overboard while you\'re still recovering." He replies, his breath ragged as he tries to calm his tendencies.
It took a few minutes for Surie to understand what he had meant and the moment she did, her cheeks flushed a bright pink.
Ahem!
Hisha looks at her arm, hoping she could release his head from her grin or risk being lifted when he stands upright and pulls her closer to himself.
Releasing her grip on the back of his neck, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I need to get back to the arena. Would you prefer staying here or returning to the others?"
Giving it a second thought, Surie goes with the latter, she couldn\'t stand the serene environment of the infirmary.
"I would rather stick with you, lord Hisha." She pulls him by the shoulder and kisses him passionately.
Hisha had his chest press against her soft breasts as his hands unconsciously explored her body underneath the armor.
\'For something that looks so hard, it is surprisingly flexible.\'
He couldn\'t stop fawning over the armor that felt nothing he had imagined.
It all began to make sense as to why she had been given the five-strike rule as opposed to the others who had full armor.
He groans as he feels her tongue slide into his mouth, tasting her with relish.
\'I\'m not meant to do this for now! Hisha wakes up to reality and sees the big goal ahead!\'
Pushing off her as he tries to catch his breath, he breaks from her lips, panting heavily as he uses his hand to lift his body weight off her.
"We should get going." He pants out, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Surie grins ear to ear at the sight of his state, her eyes latched to his bulge that was visibly trying to get his mind off it.
"There can always be a next time during my visits or aside moments like this," Hisha explains, trying his best to stop his thoughts from going into a lustful overdrive.
If he didn\'t know any better, he could feel himself slowly lose to his lustful tendencies.
With him being far away from the lustful experience bar being high, he wasn\'t willing to risk engaging on his urges so he couldn\'t have the previous host take over his body.
Surie smiles at his words, her mood a lot much better as she replies in a sultry voice. "I will be expecting your visit to the meretrix I stay at."
[5000 points acquired]
[Harem: 6172]
|Raw carnage level~147%+1%|
[Death]
Hisha gives a sweet smile influenced by the notification from his system.
With his hand outstretched to Surie, he waits for her response.
Her cheeks flush at the gesture, feeling herself get pulled the moment she places her fingers on his palm.
With their bodies pressed against one another, Hisha looks down and searches her eyes. "I can feel you\'re almost fully recovered."
Surie nods her head, smiling sheepishly whilst placing the side of her head on his chest. "Thank you."
[Exp+2]
[Charm+10]
This only serves as good news for Hisha, who willingly accepts her attention if it means getting desire and charm points.
"Shall we?"
Surie readily nods her head.
*****
Teleporting to his chair, Hisha sat cross-legged as though he had never left.
Vanas held onto his chair, trying his best to calm his nerves at the sudden jump scare from Hisha\'s appearance. The rest of the tribal chiefs all stared in shock, unable to utter a word.
Kritz looks back in awe at his lord\'s return. "Welcome back, Lord Hisha."
[Charm+15]
Giving a nod of approval, he brings back his attention to the arena.
Nodding his head at HTC\'s reports the names of the remaining contestants.
"Interesting..." He mutters to himself at the sight of the murder and bloodshed that could be seen in the fifteen corpses.
A lady with ice claws snarls are the rest of the women as her blue eyes glow fiercely
Cold steam seethes from her mouth as she looks around her at the ladies closing in on her.
\'Character status.\'
[Name: Crystal Lumi]
[Height: 168cm]
[Position: Halone–Ice queen]
Scoffing at the title, he shook his head at how diverse his harem was.
\'For an ice queen, that\'s one huge temper she got there.\' Hisha jokes.
One thing that was striking was the fact that there was ice around the usually sandy terrain.
Some of the corpses had ice shards impaled into their bodies, leaving visible trails of blood from their wounds.
\'The other contestants seem to be having a hard time dealing with her.\' Hisha remarks, taking a glance at the user interface.
[There is one exception]
Hisha leans a little forward to get a glimpse of a lady who to his shock turns out to be Zui–she was the only one who seemed to be unaffected by the cold with her bare skin exposed.
\'I wonder if it has something to do with her bloodline.\' Hisha concludes with his eyes narrowing.
[She has utilized a high-rank technique]
Not understanding what was said, Hisha takes another look at Zui, only then could he understand what was being said.
His brows furrow when he notices purple runes engraved into her body forming a branch of chains that linked up one after another.
\'The runes on her body, they look similar to the ones on her array.\'
Hisha follows his gaze as he watches how Zui uses her words to cast spells. Watching her casting spells without any sign of Sux.
\'A witch, that could prove useful.\'
[If she could hold her lot against Alta for a time, it would seem she has gotten a lot better since the last two near death experiences]
Hisha nods his head at the plausible explanation, it was only fair that Zui learns how to fight for her survival after those experiences.
"Go Zui!" Solara gets to her feet, cheering on her friend.
Hisha scratches his eyes in disbelief to also witness a few others cheer on Zui, but none could compare to the one person who tries to outshine the rest with her wings spread out.
"Alta?" Hisha gawks in disbelief, nearly bursting out into laughter.
She had used her wings to push away some who threw their hands in the air in support, allowing only Solara to take most of the vocal support.
Solara pauses for a while, looks back at Alta, and whispers, "you don\'t have to do this, you know that, right?"
Curving her wings around Solara, Alta broke into a grin as she whispered back. "If I don\'t cheer on, who will be my little plaything to get to you?"
Pushing back, Solara shook her head with a smile. "You\'re crazy."
"It comes with the tribal description." Alta proudly replies and immediately switches her gaze to cheering on Zui.
\'What sort of psycho am I conversing with?\' A big grin was spread out as Solara turned her attention back to the arena.
[It would seem they are still getting along]
Hisha nodded his head but had other plans running through his thoughts.
\'How does Zui manage to move her body with that much ice surrounding her?\' Hisha asks, curious as he watches Zui charge her hand with gathered Sux from those surrounding her.
Zzzzt!
Boom!
Three others dropped to their feet due to the strain from the easy drain on their Sux without body contact.
[Her high-rank ability spurns from using your opponent\'s Sux against them]
\'So she\'s merely charging herself with Sux gotten from others within her range?\'
[That is correct, and she\'s channeling it back to her advantage]
Hisha suddenly had a weird idea as he stared at the bloodied arena.
Kritz materializes beside Hisha to report on the action he had missed, and the one explanation only confirmed his suspicions.
Those who had been impaled on the ice shard already had a bit of their Sux drained before they could properly engage Zui.
Crystal had only killed them when they were considered a nuisance and stopped them from unintentionally fueling Zui with their Sux.
"What made her this way?" Hisha questions Kritz.

¶ Who still remembers Zui, by the way? (ー_ー゛)
¶ Any idea on why Zui seems different?
