Chapter ?492 Nulai's Hesitation

Chapter ?492 Nulai's Hesitation

Seraphina and Viktor came out of the Lulling River, and once they stepped onto the land, Seraphina's ethereal aura drove away any monsters lurking around.

It was as if the pure brilliant light emanating from her entire being was not a bane to them, but instead, their instincts made them feel like they were not worthy to receive the grace of her light.

Viktor realized that her angelic beauty had reached another level now that she was at her peak.

Her pure, rich energy was potent enough to make the nature around her dance and rejoice upon feeling her presence and also made him feel a sense of tranquility and comfort he never thought he would feel.

It was like all the dark thoughts and feelings in his heart were suppressed away to the point they weren't affecting him. However, he knew this was only a temporary feeling and decided to relish this feeling while he could.

"We have to first go back to my home before I can send you back to your home. Is that okay, Azu?" Seraphina asked as she drew a circle in the air with her finger as a silver circle of light began to manifest in the air that kept getting bigger and bigger.

Viktor nodded before asking with a smile, "You know…I noticed you are still calling me Azu even though it was just a name for my disguise. Why?"

Of course, by now, Viktor already knew that his true name was Azu, at least before he lost his memories. Because of this, whenever Seraphina addressed him as Azu, he didn't feel strange at all but, in fact, felt it quite natural.

Still, he was curious why Seraphina stuck to that name despite not knowing all this.

Seraphina slightly turned her face to the side as she softly said, "I…I don't know. I felt as if it suited you very well a-and…made me feel closer to you," Seraphina felt shy as she said what she truly felt. Even she had no idea why she felt so attached to this name.

However, Seraphina suddenly realized maybe Viktor didn't like her forgetting his name and said, "B-But I am sorry if I—"

Viktor pressed his finger against her lips as he said with his face close to hers, "Don't worry too much about it. In fact…I realized I like that name more than I realized."

Seraphina was surprised that he really liked a name he simply made as an alias.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the two, a mesmerizing mature beauty with sapphire hair and icy blue hair was wearing an elegant dragon gown as she hid herself in the dark, cool mist while looking in the direction of these two. But to be exact, her piercing icy blue eyes were fixated on the man who was acting so intimate with the Fairy Queen.

"Azu?" Nulai mumbled after hearing how the Fairy Queen was addressing that man.

But her thoughts weren't lingering on his name since his face, his eyes, and his aura…it just stunned her to the core. Before she knew it, her heartbeat no longer maintained a constant rhythm.

There could only be so many coincidences before one realizes there can't be any more coincidences but truth.

Seeing his face and his eyes made her part her lips as if to say something or call out to a certain someone.

But something was stopping her from taking the next step. If anybody saw the most powerful dragon in this realm hesitating to talk to some unknown man like this, they would wonder if she was under a spell or something.

However, the reasons for her hesitation weren't simple. Even if she could feel a sense of familiarity with his face and his aura, she also felt as if she was looking at a different person. The man she was thinking about would never smile like this, nor had she ever seen a hint of happiness or any emotion on his face, unlike this man.

In fact, as far as she could remember, the man she revered always had the same emptiness in his eyes, and his large back seemed as if he was carrying a burden she could never fathom.

Their powers, their demeanor, and their personality couldn't even be mentioned in the same breath when compared with each other.

This Azu person in front of her seemed like the exact opposite of the man she knew.

Seeing him laugh and smile like this, his gaze filled with emotions of a mortal, made her feel certain complicated emotions in her cold heart. She had never felt so much chaos in her heart except for the time when her Master left, telling her that he had taught her enough. Seeing him again recently was enough to make her happy for the first time in a long time, but his quick departure only made her remember the pain when he left the first time.

Viktor was busy teasing Seraphina when he abruptly turned his head towards the side as if he felt something, only to see nothing but the dark, cold mist moving through the air.

Nulai didn't expect this man to suddenly look in her direction and unconsciously made sure to hide herself within the mist while being confused at her own actions, not knowing why she was trying to hide from him.

Seeing his mystifying dark brown eyes gaze directly at her, Nulai held her breath as she stood frozen in the same spot. His eyes alone were enough to make her feel very confused for even someone as decisive as her.

"What's wrong?" Seraphina asked as he saw him suddenly get distracted.

"It's nothing. Must be some creatures thinking of springing up on us. Let's get out of here," Viktor grabbed Seraphina's hand as he pulled her into the portal, making Nulai unconsciously step forward as if to stop him, but she didn't.

She lowered her arm slowly and stared at the empty space in front of her for a long time before letting out a low heavy sigh.

The next moment Viktor and Seraphina's surroundings changed into beautiful scenery as the two arrived on the top of a mountain filled with greenery and ethereal flowers and trees.

Right after they arrived, Seraphina remembered that Viktor was able to get into his soul palace while he was unconscious in Yannah's palace.

Out of curiosity and concern, she asked, "Azu, you said you had a vision when you were unconscious, right? Did you regain your memories?"
