Primordial Soul's Rebirth

//// Sorry, but will only be able to juice out one chapter today. 🙇 ////

Alex, from the moment he was pulled into this isolated space, was trying to tell or show Selina that she wasn't the one in control of the situation.

Selina was pretty and all, sure.

But just looks won't make Alex go soft on her.

Her attempt to approach him was good; she was being formal and even trying to maintain a certain respect for him.

The moment she arrived close to him, or to be precise, the moment she came in range of his incubus aura, that was not restrained anymore; even though she is a mythical ranker, she was affected by it.

All of the feelings of closeness or relaxation that forced Selina to take those steps were due to the little influence of Alex's bloodline, which changed Alex's image in her mind.

She wasn't weak enough to get completely controlled by Alex's aura, but it was still able to influence her enough to make her lower her guard.

The fact that she was a fox only made it worse, as foxes are known to get attracted to any shiny, good-looking, or unique-looking thing, and Alex, who was the walking definition of handsomeness, was like a living kryptonite for her.

The foxes are so attracted to that type of thing that there are cases of the sliest foxes getting fooled into a trap by those kinds of things.

But as soon as she realized that her situation was getting out of her hands and that she was not behaving like she would in normal situations, her focus returned, and the same looks of Alex that caused her to get pulled into all this now looked a bit odd to her.

It was as if something within her body was now trying to make her hate Alex after it had realized that she was getting attracted to him.

But Selina just thought that it was her irritation about the situation that made her feel that way, so she just frowned a bit before she replied to Alex.

"As you probably know, my race has a strong connection to space, and I can sense that you have an incredible affinity for space elements, my lord.

That's why I approached you. I wanted to offer my help in mastering space elements, as it seems like you're not entirely familiar with them yet."

Selina spoke with a respectful yet slow tone, hinting that she wasn't satisfied with how things were, but that was ignored by Alex.

"I doubt you've become so loyal that you'd want to teach me without me even asking. So, tell me what you want in return."

Alex squinted his eyes; his gaze, however, remained on Noctura as he kept caressing her head.

As Selina had guessed, Alex knew about her strong connection to space elements, and it was because of his all-seeing eyes.

But the reason that Selina said that was different.

Her race alone had Stellar in its name, and it gave away her relationship with space; that was the reason why she was so concerned about Alex knowing her race's name.

If anyone so much as heard that name, they could easily relate her race with space, and that would make many people drool at her bloodline, wanting to have it for themselves.

That was not something anyone would want.

Selina, who was trying to control her conflicting emotions right now, heard Alex's question, causing her to look at him, but the moment she looked at his face, she started feeling irritated again.

She finally frowned.

'This is weird...'

She muttered inwardly.

Her getting frustrated by the situation was not uncalled for, but how could she find Alex's face hateful?

Soon, however, as she saw Alex's squinted gaze focusing on her, she realized that she had been silent for a bit too long.

"I wanted nothing, my lord.

I just wanted your help in testing some of my theories."

She hurriedly replied with a bow, trying to hide the frown on her face.

She didn't want Alex to find out what was happening.

She just wanted to go back to her room and try to look into herself.

Everything was going differently from what she had thought from the moment she decided to get involved with him.

She found him to her liking the moment she saw him manipulating Grum into a trap of words in the throne room during his coronation, but she now realized that not everything that looked good from afar would be as you think them to be.

The feeling she got when she talked with Alex—the feeling of being oppressed and being looked at as if she were nothing—she liked them—no, she loved them, but for some reason, whenever she thought about him now, she felt irritation only.

"So, you want to use me, the demon lord, as a test subject?"

Alex questioned with a frown, pretending to be offended by her words, but the actual reason for his frown was the thing he saw inside Selina.

'Is it…?'

He didn't complete his question, but the one who was asked the question already knew what he was trying to ask, so she gave an affirmative response.

[Yes, it is what you think it is.]

Sophia replied, causing Alex to stare deeper into Selina's body.

"No, my lord.

There are some things I could never hope to achieve with my limited affinity for space. But you, who seem to embody the space elements, could do them effortlessly.

That's why I need your help with those, my lord."

Selina replied in a hurried tone, seemingly trying to resolve the misunderstanding, but she was just trying to get out of there as soon as possible.

The irritation she felt from within had suddenly gotten elevated, and she felt that if she stayed close to Alex, she might commit something she would have to face dire consequences for.

"Very well, then.

I will call for you when I'm done with something I've been trying to do for a while."

Alex, who could sense her emotions, didn't try to stop her anymore and just nodded his head, his gaze moving back toward Noctura, whom he had put to sleep by using his incubus aura.

He had never said that he didn't have any interest in learning more about space elements; space was an element that he was most interested in as of now.

*Tremble*

As if listening to his thoughts, something inside of him trembled, causing Alex to frown, but the moment he noticed what or who it was, he sighed helplessly.

'Well, space is an element I'm second most interested in. Happy now?'

He asked inwardly, and the trembling he felt next to his heart from the place where the core of the SD (Shatter Devourer) was placed subsided as soon as those words were heard.

Alex just smiled at it.

"Thank you, my lord."

Selina, on the other hand, just kept her head bowed while her fists were clenched as hard as they could.

She was trying to control her emotions, and although she tried her best, her canine features—her ears and tail—that were tensed gave her away.

It was not like her emotions were hidden from Alex, anyway.

"It's fine.

You can go now, as it looks like you have something to do right now."

Alex, however, just waved his hand, gesturing for her to go on and excuse herself.

But Selina, who heard his words, just bowed her head deeper and thanked him again.

"Thank you, my lord."

She didn't even ask him how he knew about her emotional state or that she just wanted to go away, but she would soon realize the reason, so for now, she just waved her hand, and...

*Woosh*

With a wooshing sound, Alex found himself standing back on the spot he was before Selina took him away, and as soon as he appeared...

*Swoosh*

Another sound was heard, and Azaroth teleported right next to him, his eyes scanning for Selina, wanting to reprimand her, but before he could do it, he heard Alex's words.

"She isn't here anymore; she seemed to have something to attend to."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Alex wasn't looking at him, but Azaroth could tell that those words were for him.

"I see…"

So, he just nodded his head and stood beside Alex in silence, watching Alex as he kept staring out of the balcony, up in the sky, looking at the stars twinkling.

"Tell me everything you know about her, Azaroth."

But the moment he heard Alex's words, his body tensed.

'What did that silly girl do now…?'

Those were the only thoughts in his head, but soon he began to tell Alex everything he knew.
