Chapter 356 Leaving The Dimension and Unexpected Declaration
Meanwhile, Erin's struggles grew more frantic. With her wings restricted, it was only a matter of time before she plunged down from over 300 meters to the ground.
Dread clouded Erin's eyes as she squirmed midair to get rid of the blood threads that were no different from thick chains.
Watching her struggle, Nox took a deep breath as he dug his heels into the ground and pulled hard on the threads downward. Erin's wings faltered, and for the first time, she began to descend. Her emerald eyes glinted. "Dammit… such mostou—"
Before she could finish, Nox pulled down with all his might.
Swoosh!
Despite her attempt to stay afloat, Erin found herself crashing to the ground against her will at frightening speed. As she drew closer to the ground, Erin gritted her teeth and tried to shatter the threads.
However, it was futile, and…
BOOOM!
Erin's radiant form came crashing down. However, instead of falling onto the ground as expected, she landed squarely on Nox's chest with a resounding impact. The force of the collision sent both of them tumbling to the ground, the air knocked from their lungs.
For a moment, there was silence. Erin lay sprawled across Nox, her face inches from his. Her glowing emerald eyes locked onto his dark ones. A mixture of rage and disbelief crossed her features.
How did the trajectory change? She was so certain that she would have slammed into the ground, but… but… at that moment, she glared at Nox.
"You…" she whispered in a trembling voice. "How dare you…"
Nox, who was still pinned beneath her, chuckled softly. "Took you long enough to come down," he said in a light voice.
Erin's cheeks flushed with a mixture of anger and embarrassment as she struggled to push herself off him. "Get your filthy hands off me!" she snapped, her voice trembling.
There was nothing in between them; her upper torso was bare, and she could feel the heat coming from Nox's body and catch a whiff of his intoxicating masculine scent. That heat… and that scent made her body react in a strange way that disgusted Erin.
To her request, Nox smirked, his grip on the threads tightening as he whispered in a low voice in her ear, "Not until you admit defeat," he teased, his tone mocking.
Erin's fists clenched as a strange, pleasant sensation washed through her body the moment Nox whispered in her ear.
What was happening? Why couldn't she think straight?
With great difficulty, she snarled, "Get your hands off me, male!"
Her wings twitched and threatened to shatter the blood threads fastened across her body.
But Nox wasn't about to give her the chance. With a swift motion, he summoned more blood threads, tightening them around her limbs and pinning her down completely. Erin's struggles grew weaker as the realization of her predicament set in.
"This… can't be happening," she thought, her mind swirling with disbelief. "How did he—how could I let this happen?"
Erin was strong! Deep down inside her, she knew she could still keep on fighting for some minutes; after all, her Divine form could last for over five minutes!
But… because of this male, she felt so distracted.
On the sidelines, the worry in Akira's eyes was now gone, replaced by a mixture of shock, perplexity, and, strangely, anger.
She had been concerned just moments ago, thinking Erin would suffer devastating damage from falling from such a frightening height. Akira had even been preparing to intervene and save her. But at the last moment, Nox had made some kind of hand gesture, altering Erin's trajectory. And now… this had happened.
Akira furrowed her eyebrows, a tight line on her lips. She didn't like the position they were in currently. It was too intimate!
Meanwhile, Nox's expression softened slightly as he looked down at Erin. "You're strong, Erin," he said, his voice low and steady. "I know there are still a lot of things you want to show me, but unfortunately, I have somewhere to be."
Erin glared up at him, her emerald eyes blazing. "You think this is over? You perverted male!"
Nox only chuckled at her words as he controlled the blood threads, pulling Erin away from his body, though he would have liked to remain in that position for some time.
I mean, who wouldn't want such a hot woman lying on top of them?
The blood threads lifted Erin into the air. She gritted her teeth and tried to get rid of them. Her eyes glinted in satisfaction as she saw that the threads were breaking apart gradually.
"Good. When I get rid of this, you'll pay!" she gritted her teeth and returned all her focus to the blood threads.
Meanwhile, Nox walked up to Erin, who was looking at him with a pout. The other Valkyries were still occupied with Nox's pets, so they had no time to help their commander. Stay updated via empire
"Thank you for not hurting her," Akira said.
"Although you won't believe me, I have some relation to your race, and I really have no enmity with anyone here," Nox responded with a wave of his arm. "Besides, they're not really my enemies."
Nox paused and glanced at his beasts, who were not going all out attacking the Valkyries. "That's why I told them to hold back as well."
"Why does it sound as if you want to go somewhere?" Akira trailed off, her gaze narrowing suspiciously as she looked at Nox.
"Unfortunately, yes, I have to. I've been gone for too long," Nox said.
A crestfallen expression appeared on Akira's face, and she clenched her fist tightly, holding her head down.
Seeing her expression, Nox sighed and raised her chin to look up at him. "I still have some unfinished business and lots of answers to find, so I'll definitely return here in the future."
Akira's eyes lit up at these words.
Erin, still suspended midair by the blood threads, scoffed. "Coward! Leaving before facing the consequences of your actions! Typical male behavior."
Nox glanced at her, his smirk widening into a grin. "Erin, if I wanted to crush you, I would have done so already. But I think you've learned enough for one day. Consider this a lesson in humility."
Erin's emerald eyes burned with fury, but before she could retort, Nox flicked his wrist, loosening the blood threads just enough for her to regain some control over her movements.
"You'll regret this, male," Erin spat, her wings flaring as she struggled to stay afloat.
"I look forward to it," Nox replied with a casual shrug. He turned to Akira, his expression softening slightly. "Take care then."
With that, Nox turned away and gently rubbed the Dimensional Key. A familiar door appeared, and he called all his pets back into the taming space.
The Valkyries, after witnessing the monsters disappear, stared at the surroundings with confusion flickering across their eyes.
"Where… where did they go?"
"Ah, look! The male—he's escaping!"
"Akira." Before Nox stepped into the door, he turned and said, "Can you help me hold them back for a bit until the door closes?"
"Okay, just don't die somewhere before we meet again!" Akira shouted back while clenching her heart. Only the Great Goddess knew how hard it was for her to say those words.
"Hehehe." Nox chuckled. "That won't be possible."
With that, Nox stepped into the dimensional door, its shimmering light swallowing him whole.
Erin finally broke free of the ultimate tier blood threads with a fierce snap, her wings flaring dramatically as she landed on the ground. She immediately turned toward the door, about to rush in, but a radiant sword blocked her path.
Her gaze followed the sword to its wielder, and Erin's face flushed red in anger. "Princess, you dare side with a male!" she seethed with rage.
"Move this instant!" Erin bellowed, but Akira stood there with a determined expression on her face.
"I won't," she said, her calm voice ringing through the battlefield.
"You…" Erin's entire body trembled as she saw the dimensional door close. "You let him escape!"
But only silence met Erin's outbursts.
Akira seemed to be in a daze. Her eyes were filled with intense happiness as images of the short time they'd spent—Nox's confidence, his proactive nature, that masculine energy, the care he had for his pets—all flashed in her head.
At that moment, she came out of her trance, locked gazes with Erin, and with a determined expression on her face, she declared, "I have made a decision… that male shall be my breeding partner, and I will go to the ends of the world to find him!"
