‘…..’ Ryuk looked at the window showing the status of the thesis he had just gotten from Valhale while walking inside the hallway. He narrowed his gaze, a subtle hint of coldness passing through his pupils.

“Liege, are we leaving?” Regina, walking beside him, inquired, with Esme accompanying them with a much calmer expression now.

Unable to hear those painful screams of Valhale, Ryuk had taken all of them outside, leaving Drishti behind in that place who was definitely not in a good mood.

Indeed, Ryuk was able clearly see those sharp eyes gazing at him, reminding him of their first meeting, prompting him to leave sooner before he needed to activate another Grimoire.

“No, not for a few months at least,” Ryuk said, tightening his hand on Esme’s delicate palms to comfort her.

She needed a bit of patience right now, and at such moments, when a woman is torn between choices, she seeks comfort from those who understand.

Leaving at such a time to have them adjust would be a foolish decision since emotions are a weakness of any human, making them tend towards those who can give them solace at their most vulnerable time.

Of course, Ryuk was aware that Esme was strong enough and had everything that made her different, but in the end, anyone would feel pain, no matter how strong they are internally, seeing their loved ones suffer like that.

“But Liege, then why are we not leaving?” Regina felt confused, not understanding the reason to stay in this broken land when they had already obtained the thesis—the main reason they were here.

“You are forgetting, Regina, the real reason was for me to break through.” Halting in his path, Ryuk turned his head towards Regina, further adding, “and it will take some time.”

“How much?” Regina inquired, her eyes fixed on his. There wasn’t any mask on his face, but hers was intact, keeping the area around one eye hidden.

“Let’s see,” he said, focusing his mind elsewhere, ‘System, synthesize Devereaux Bloodline.’

[Intializing…..]

Visibly, two screens simultaneously flickered in front of Ryuk’s eyes. He calmly observed the information he inquired, ‘Why new? Wasn’t this my original bloodline?’

[Host, your body accepted it as a new bloodline, not as its original. Further analysis is needed to understand the reason.]

‘Will that cause a problem?’ Ryuk inquired. His initial intent was to awaken his bloodline and, with its boost, increase the speed to break through in less time.

Until now, he didn’t need to synthesize it, since due to being part of his body, his ability didn’t seem to work on the drawbacks of his bloodline.

The end result was him falling into a coma without anything to protect himself at that time.

So, if he encountered a cornered situation or betrayal from any Devereaux nearby, he needed to kill them—something impossible with this bloodline.

[No, Host. Instead, your body is treating it as a foreign bloodline.]

‘I see,’ a small smile formed on his face, realizing that the problem of his ability not being able to suppress the bloodline’s drawbacks had just been solved with this.

‘Suppress,’ Ryuk inwardly commanded, with a clear intent to suppress his bloodline.

DING!

[Devereaux Bloodline is reacting vigorously while being isolated from Host’s body.]

‘It wor—’ Before Ryuk could further think, a chilling and sharp voice reverberated in his hearing senses.

“What did you just do?”

‘?!’

Taken aback by the voice coming from his left, he turned his gaze only to meet two densely deep amber pupils looking back at him. Due to the distance, the visible nerves appeared crystal clear.

“Lady Drishti, I don’t understand what you mean?” Ryuk’s eyes settled on the woman. Her lips, in contrast to her eyes holding a depth that wanted to devour and know every bit of secrets he was holding, held an amusement.

Drishti had initially arrived here to ask if he had still left that same thing tormenting Valhale right now in her body or not, but to her surprise, she had just seen an otherworldly phenomenon.

Someone had bent the laws set by nature and her.

She had just witnessed an event where someone created a bloodline inside his body once after losing it.

It was her first surprise.

The second surprise was what happened after that.

She felt clearly that the awakened Devereaux Bloodline had just now been suppressed again by some unknown force.

Her amusement wasn’t at the fact that the bloodline, which was the core of her and any Devereaux, got easily isolated but at the fact that it was the same bloodline that had taken this young man’s five years of life.

And here, he had just easily suppressed it.

So, her mind reached some possibilities.

First was that an eleven-year-old kid had fooled everyone and orchestrated his own death by letting the bloodline’s drawback break his body, infiltrating Ardoros with a very clear plan.

Second was that the bloodline was not the original one but prepared by some artificial methods with a trigger to suppress it whenever needed.

Third was that the young man had just fooled her with some tricks, which even triggered her senses into accepting all these facts.

But in all these scenarios, one thing was certain…

“Interesting,” a soft smile adorned Drishti’s lips, arched with the wet touch of dew, hands folded behind her back as her body retreated from its previously leaned position.

‘…I forgot about her,’ Ryuk clearly understood that due to Drishti being the founder of the Devereaux family, she possessed the purest and strongest bloodline, which provided her the ability to detect the moment he synthesized his bloodline.

It was definitely a mistake on his part, but there wasn’t anything he could do since he eventually needed the help of his Devereaux Bloodline.

“Lady Drishti, I was just thinking of asking for your help,” Ryuk calmly stated, his eyes fixed on her with a subtle furrow in his brow revealing his curiosity.

“Help? Hm, it needs to be something… Leave it, just ask,” though Drishti wanted to see something more interesting, she halted before speaking, thinking that it was already good enough for her to know this much.

“Here you go,” Ryuk brought his hand forward, and instantly, a huge book materialized in his palm, coming out of his inventory.

“And why do you think I will teach you its content?” Drishti could clearly guess the motives behind his approach while offering her such a valuable thing.

Indeed, the thing inside the book was far more valuable than anything existing in this world, only if the young man realized it.

It was immortality.

Drishti herself wanted to learn the way, but the issue was that the body reconstruction described in the book would break her seals. If that happened, the presence of both her and Amrantha together would directly shift the balance of power among humans and other races.

So, she couldn’t learn the secrets inside.

From her observation, she guessed that even though Valhale was a founder, time had really taken a toll on him because his body lacked the potential to keep his own ability from reaching saturation.

But it was different for the young man in front of her.

Drishti knew that there could be a possibility of this young man showing her something interesting again, but…

“Though I could hel—” Drishti began to say something, but she was halted midway.

“I don’t need your help in reading this book,” Ryuk interrupted, not understanding how she could even think he would let her see the content of this book without getting anything in exchange.

“…Then?” Drishti inquired, narrowing her gaze and feeling slightly dissatisfied with his words.

Ryuk loosened his hand, causing the book to fall to the floor.

THUD!

The weight of the book left a clear mark on the floor’s surface. Ignoring it, Ryuk glanced down and gestured, adding, “There is a burning beast inside of it, its desire intense. Soothe it with your lips, Lady Drishti.”
