Chapter 67: Mysterious Lady
CHAPTER 67: MYSTERIOUS LADY
Despite being only a few years more than a couple of decades old, Azrael can pride himself that he has seen his fair share of good, even great looking people, some of them even being his friend or acquaintances, but never in his entire life did he encountered someone with an appearance like this lady.
Standing at a tall height just some few inches below his own height, this lady is the prime definition of someone with a devilish, extremely charming body and an angelic, peerlessly beautiful face, her feature leaning more towards the eastern appeal possessing a fairly large, clear almond eyes void of any impurities, her prominent pupil being of a pure, beautiful black in color as if the one is observing the night skies when staring at them, said eyes being adorned by long, slightly curling eyelashes that just made her all the more attractive.
Above those eyes are the softly arcing eyebrows that perfectly compliments her eyes as well, connecting them is her fair, cute nose, her fair milky skin making it look like the tip of her nose lean on a brighter shade of red rather than the healthy pink it actually is, and beneath it, her small, beautiful lips charming enough to pull anyone’s gaze towards them, the natural. slightly crimson, pink color of this luscious lips of hers would make anyone wonder whether she is using any sort of makeup at all.
Complimenting her looks perfectly is her body with her curves hitting all the right places, leaning on a more voluptuous curve, indicating her mature age, and yet, despite that, there’s just nothing that one can point out short of perfect when looking at her hourglass body.
Staring at such a lady, Azrael couldn’t help but have some impure thoughts popping more and more frequently in his mind, forcing him to grit his teeth and even going so far as to bite his own tongue to snap out of this entranced state, making him wary of this lady as her appearance alone is enough to turn him like that.
Despite this wariness though, he decided not to show anything that might pose as weakness just in case this lady has an ill intent towards him, however, knowing that her strength is way beyond his, he felt like she shouldn’t have any ill intent as if she truly does have one, then she would’ve already acted upon it given the vast difference between their strength.
"Hoh... not bad boy, if someone is any worse, then they would’ve pounced on this old lady already" seeing Azrael completely snapping out from her charms, this enigmatic lady couldn’t help but give him a praise, a smile forming on her ethereal face, her expression a mix of amusement and surprise.
"Can I ask who this lady is?" despite his decade-long experience in the tower, Azrael had never encountered a being like this, the air around her making him think of a single word and nothing else: God. Anything less than that might be too inadequate to describe her.
Seeing the young man still standing his ground and gradually developing resistance to her innate charm, the lady couldn’t help but smile, even more entertained than before, as an interesting thought popped into her mind.
’Should I actively use my charm?’ she thought to herself before shrugging the thoughts off her head, worried that this young man’s mind might just completely collapse the moment she does that.
"My name is inconsequential, for now, boy, besides, aren’t you more curious about what this place is?" smiling at the young man in front of her, this divine-like lady replied, unaware that her innate charm is increasing with just that smile, but fortunately for both her and the young man she is talking to, he already built up enough resistance to mitigate the serious effect of this level of charm.
Still, while he might not turn into some sort of mindless madman from the lady’s charm, he still couldn’t help but feel like something warm is going to come bursting out of his nose if he looks at each of the changes in her expression anymore, forcing him to tear his gaze away from her as they continue their talk.
"That’s right, miss, you told me that only those with Immortal Energy can enter this place, that means there’s a relation between this place and Immortal Energy, can you tell me what it is?" recalling her words, her introduction on what this place actually is and believing her answer, Azrael asked in curiosity, his question making the lady nod with a smile on her face.
"Indeed, there is a connection, I told you right, this is a nameless Immortal Realm, it is nameless because not enough people can decide about it yet, as for the connection between this place and Immortal Energy, well, you will find out about it later, you only need to know that in this place, it is possible for you to actively improve and increase the amount of your Immortal Energy"
The lady said, her words, mostly the last few ones baffling Azrael as he always thought that he needs to just improve his strength and his Immortal Energy will gradually improve as well, thinking that this is the only way for him to improve it, yet now based on the words of this mysterious lady, this place will allow him to just bypass getting stronger and just go directly to improving his Immortal Energy.
"Surprising, right? That’s my reaction when I first entered an Immortal Realm as well, man, those were some good times~~" seemingly travelling down the memory lane as she observes the shocked expression on Azrael’s face, the mysterious lady said in a jovial tone, acting as if she and the young man she is talking to already have a close relationship with each other, the way she is talking to him would make any outside wonder whether she’s a long-time friend of him.
"Anyways, now that you know of the purpose of the Immortal Realm, enough of the chit-chat, time for you to capitalize on this opportunity to improve your meager amount of Immortal Energy."
