Chapter 31

The conversation with Nyx didn't last long, he just said that one day he woke up and the True Longinus was by his side. Of course, she didn't care how he had obtained the True Longinus, she was just worried that he would get hurt when using it, after all it is common knowledge that the True Longinus cannot be wielded by devils.

"I almost forgot to ask, but what brought you here, Nyx?"

Nyx bowed her head upon hearing Akira's question. She couldn't say she missed him, could she? They saw each other a few days ago, and she couldn't bear to be away from him anymore.

"Cough, I just wanted to see how your strength is." She said trying to hide her shyness.

Akira frowned, but soon gave a wide smile, "I see, now that you've checked my strength, you can come back."

Nyx was stunned, and then immediately raised her head to find Akira looking at her with a wide smile on her face.

"Y-You're bullying me!" She exclaimed as she slammed into Akira's chest.

'Fuck!'

Even though it looked like she hadn't put much force into her slams, Akira still felt his bones rattle.

"I'll ignore you if you keep bullying me."

Her cute voice made Akira's heart skip a beat, but when he saw her angry expression, he knew he had to calm her down.

Akira said gently, "I won't bully you anymore, after all I don't want to lose the one girl who is in my heart."

Nyx's face turned slightly red upon hearing Akira's words.

"Y-You, who allowed you to put me in your heart?!"

It was as if he was confessing again to her.

Akira looking at Nyx said hurriedly, "Actually I..."

"Say no more!"

Nyx's cheeks were flushed.

After a while she examined Akira's body with her eyes and realized that he had become stronger.

Nyx thought for a moment, then asked, "What have you been doing these past few days? After all, your strength has increased by a considerable margin in just a few days."

Akira listened to Nyx's question before answering her, "These past few days I went to the underworld to train, and about my increased strength, I believe it has something to do with True Longinus."

Nyx's eyes were surprised to hear that he went to the underworld, but soon after she nodded.

Akira seeing that Nyx would be silent again, hurried to change the subject, "By the way, on my trip to the underworld, I ended up bringing a gift for you."

"A gift?"

Nyx froze.

She watched as Akira pulled a pendant from his pocket.

"I found this while training in the underworld, its only noticeable effect is to calm the mind, although it is no precious treasure, I feel it will match perfectly with a Goddess like you."

Nyx stared at the crystalline pendant, her beautiful face flushed red, she bit her lip and said, "Y-You, what do you mean by gifting me with this kind of thing?"

"Huh?"

Akira looked puzzled at first, but looking at the pendant in his hands he was also surprised.

The pendant was a black jade with shades of purple, and it happened to be in the shape of a heart.

'Oh! When I received this pendant from the system lottery, I didn't pay attention to its appearance as I felt it was useless to me, but looking at it now, it's really inadequate, besides I also received five other pendants similar to this one but with different colors.... '

Since he had already reached that point, he could not take the pendant back. So he could only make up a story.

"Cough, this pendant represents my heart that was given to you."

"Your heart that was given to me?"

Nyx was stunned to hear the words coming from Akira.

Akira's sweet words made her heart tingle, and she couldn't find any way to refuse such a gift.

Although she was not involved in the world of love, she knew what Akira meant by his actions.

First, he said that she was the only one in his heart, and now he was giving her a pendant with the symbol of a heart, moreover, the heart was painted in her favorite colors. Which showed that Akira didn't find this pendant just anywhere, but rather made it based on his tastes.

Seeing that Nyx hadn't spoken for some time, Akira said ashamedly, "I think that since this is just an ordinary item, it's not worthy of the Primordial Goddess of the Night. I was very careless, I hope you won't be offended."

Saying that, he picked up the pendant and was about to destroy it with magic.

"Wait."

Nyx's face was slightly red, her eyes seemed to have ripples, she said softly, "Who says I don't want it? You can help me use it."

Akira: "O_O"

...

Akira gave a breath of air, and asked, "Do you want me to help you wear it?"

Nyx blinked and said with a sadistic smile, "What? You dare to give me something, but you don't dare to help me use it?"

Akira hesitated for a few moments, but soon walked behind her.

'Damn, every time I'm with her, I get nervous...'

Nyx's hair was like long and straight that went down to her waist.

Akira gently pulled back her long hair, thus revealing her white neck.

As he stood behind her, his nose twitched slightly.

The smell of Nyx had entered his nose, causing him to have some indecent thoughts.

His throat was already getting dry as he imagined him and Nyx doing some 'things'.

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, Nyx asked puzzled, "What is it? Is something wrong?"

"No, it's nothing."

Akira came back to his senses and placed the jade pendant around her neck, carefully tightening the button.

With an elegant movement, Nyx turned toward Akira and in a soft tone asked, "What's it like, does it look good?"

The jade pendant fell over her delicate collarbone, making her skin even whiter, moreover the pendant perfectly matched the color of her hair and eyes.

Who could imagine that this beautiful woman was the Primordial Goddess of the Night? Who was known to be sadistic and merciless towards her enemies.

"Beautiful."

Those were the only words that came out of Akira's mouth.

Nyx blushed deeply at Akira's words, all she wanted at the moment was to bury her head in her pillow. But knowing that if she showed her shyness she would be intimated again by Akira, she decided to act.

"Is it the jade pendant that's pretty, or is it me that's pretty?"

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she regretted it.

Especially when she saw a smile appear on Akira's face.

"Of course, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

And indeed she was.

In terms of beauty, perhaps she was second only to Gabriel, but since he had never seen her before he couldn't say for sure.

But as the Primordial Goddess of the Night, Nyx had a unique aura around her. And that made her even more beautiful and lethal.

The redness on Nyx's face covered even her ears.

No one had ever said such a thing to her before.
