Primordial Soul's Rebirth

Chapter 147: CHAPTER 147 – What’s wrong with Noctura?

Alex didn't want to hear that 'he was not supposed to know' or 'he needs to grow stronger to know' or anything like that, right now.

He was fine till now as it was always related to him, and when it came to himself, he didn't feel scared of anything.

But it was NOT fine now, it was NOT related to him now, it was something about Noctura, one of the few beings he came to love, like, and care for.

He wasn't going to take the same answer for this one.

He wasn't sure what he thought as he warned Sophia, but somehow, he felt that he had the power to do that.

He waited for her to reply as he saw Noctura looking at him with guilt in her eyes.

"Come here," Alex patted his lap as he gestured Noctura to come to him.

Unlike normal times, Noctura didn't rush at him while wagging her tail, she slowly and hesitantly moved toward him.

This only made it worse for Alex as he was the key reason behind her situation.

If he didn't name her, she would never have gotten the bloodline.

If she never got the bloodline, she would never have unlocked her new abilities.

If she never unlocked her new abilities, she would never have been in this situation.

So, in the end, it was his fault.

As Noctura moved toward him, Sophia finally answered.

[The moment you gave her the bloodline, she was bound to you eternally, no matter which timeline you go in, no matter what path you take in other possibilities or timelines, she will become your tamed beast every time.]

Sophia didn't say anything about Alex's last line.

She wanted to say many things.

'I would never want to see your close ones getting hurt.'

'I am doing whatever I can to help you.'

'I regret not having enough power to help you more.'

'Sorry for being so useless.'

There were many other things she wanted to say, but she didn't.

Right now, anything she says would sound like an excuse, so she directly elaborated on what she meant, just like Alex asked.

Alex noticed it as well, but he wasn't in the mood to console her as he had Noctura to look after, right now.

'What are the drawbacks?' Alex asked after Sophia finished speaking.

[Her feelings, any of her feelings that are related to you will reach new heights, much higher than they were before.]

'Why is it even needed? I never asked for that….' Alex sighed inwardly as he looked at Noctura who was now standing in front of him.

He held Noctura and placed her on his lap.

"It's not your fault, pup, it's my fault. So, don't blame yourself for it."

Alex spoke as he stroked Noctura's fur.

But his words caused Alice and Ann to look at him with worry.

They knew he loved Noctura, and they knew he would do anything for her, but they didn't like seeing sad Alex.

They remember the time when Alex named Noctura, and he told them later during the three-month break that Noctura was given a new bloodline at that time.

They also know that whatever is happening is happening because of the bloodline.

So, they knew the reason why he was blaming himself, but they didn't want that….

Noctura, on the other hand, just snuggled close to Alex, searching for more warmth as she sniffed Alex's scent as if she was not going to be able to smell his again.

'Master….' She murmured inwardly.

Alex didn't notice anything as he asked Sophia.

'Just tell me what I need to do to turn her back to how she was or at least make it so that she would not behave like what she had been doing.'

Alex asked Sophia with a sigh.

He had realized that his blaming Sophia was just him trying to find an escape.

He knew that, in the end, he was the anomaly, he was the one who had the system, and he was the one who couldn't remember anything.

It was all him.

[There are two ways.

First one: Defeat her in a fight and plunder her intense emotions.

Second one: But a skill called 'Emotional Purge' and leave Noctura alone for a while for her to get used to the skill.

I would suggest you go with the second one as the first one is rather risky.]

Sophia replied to Alex along with her advice.

'What does the skill 'Emotional Purge' do?' Alex questioned inwardly as he continued to caress Noctura's fur.

[It lets the user eliminate excessive emotions if they want to.]

'Then why does she need to be alone for a while?' Alex knew that there was some catch in it.

[When she tries to eliminate her emotions, she needs peace and quiet.

She can't be disturbed and it is a growth-type skill so she needs time to master it.]

'I see...' Alex muttered as he started thinking of how to help Noctura have a place where no one would disturb her.

But just then, Noctura, who was continuously sniffing Alex finally stopped and looked into Alex's eyes.

"Master, I want to go out... alone."

Noctura spoke in the same voice that she had been doing, the voice that she gained after her bloodline potential was released.

Alex just smiled as he continued caressing Noctura when he heard the first part, but he paused when he heard the second part.

Alice and Ann who heard that also looked at Noctura in confusion.

"What do you mean, pup?" Alex asked as he started patting her again.

"I think something is wrong with me.

I don't know what it is, but I feel like I would be fine if I were to be alone for a while."

Noctura spoke as she closed her eyes, enjoying Alex's pats.

"You can be alone here as well.

We'll give you a room, lock yourself in, and have all the alone time you want."

Ann suddenly spoke as she closed in toward Noctura and Alex.

"Yeah, we'll not disturb you," Alice did the same as she spoke.

"No, I have to do it, and I want to do it," Noctura spoke resolutely.

She had been thinking for a while about it and this was the best thing she could think of.

If she were to go out alone without anyone, then she would miss everyone without a doubt.

Although she will miss her Master the most, she will miss both Alice and Ann as well.

All of that would make her remember the importance of every one of her loved ones.

Noctura then turned toward Alex, and so did Alice and Ann.

They knew the decision was up to Alex, in the end.

Alex had closed his eyes as he was thinking about it deeply.

He opened his eyes only to see three pairs of eyes staring at him and then he looked at Noctura who was looking at him with pleading eyes.

Alex just sighed….

"All right, I won't stop you," Alex finally spoke, and listening to his answer, Noctura directly jumped over him, making him fall to the ground along with her.

"But?" Just then Ann questioned as she looked at Alex.

This question made the happy Noctura calm down while Alice also looked at Alex.

Both Ann and Alice knew that Alex was not letting Noctura go out just like that.

Alex looked at Ann with a light smile.

"But you will be taking some things along with you…." Alex spoke.

'Buy the items I asked for,' He ordered inwardly.

[On it.]

...............…..

Alex, Alice, and Ann were standing in front of a large, dense forest.

"Let's go in, she must be where we left her," Alex spoke with a smile as he stepped forward.

Alice and Ann smiled as well.

'He is like this in just a week…' X2

Both of them sighed but still had a smile on their faces as they followed Alex.
