Path Of Oblivion

"Hello, Ark… Oh, The Fallen," said a voice from deep in the darkness of the night. With each step, the figure slowly revealed itself in the moonlight.

Emerging from the shadows was a beauty with pale skin, diamond-blue eyes, and strange black hair that resembled Theos, who stood looking at her with a neutral expression.

"Did you bring what I asked for?" he asked with a faint smile.

He asked his bodyguards for Luna's contact number and had no trouble finding him through the family's information network. He ordered to let her in if she showed up. But what raised Theo's eyebrows was that… She didn't have what he had asked for in the first place.

"Just like that?" she asked with a pout, moving closer to him. The two stared at each other, a small smile on one face and a slight blush on the other, but they did not look away.

'She… Did she like him or something?' Theos wondered in his mind as he saw the blush of the woman in front of him.

He's not stupid, she's been looking at him with admiring (and fearful) eyes ever since he fought the hoods… …. Or maybe even before.

With her current blush, what will he think, a fever?

'But it's weird; she's not that easy to fall in love with' Theos remembered the information from the novel, even though he had shown strength, status, and …. 'Wait… I've improved my appearance and this ability, maybe it affects her?' Theos thought, believing in this possibility. He shook his head tiredly.

"I have no reason to call you except to get you to give me what I asked for," Theos replied. "And besides, if you hadn't brought your wolves, I would have won anyway."

Hearing Theos' words, the blush on her face disappeared completely, replaced by a look of indignation and anger. "You're an ungrateful fool, you idiot!".

Hearing Luna's screams, Theos grinned even wider, his eyes full of mockery. She had been mocked! This fact made her even more angry, but there was nothing she could do about it.

'It's nice to have these conversations, just like it's nice to make fun of her…' Theos thought, not wanting to say it out loud, he didn't want to prolong the conversation any longer, so he ordered Luna directly to give him what he had asked for on the phone.

Once again she disappeared into the shadows, resuming her path and heading back into the darkness. Not two minutes had passed when he returned… She was dragging a body.

The crawling body could not be fully seen because of the hood that covered it, but the blood stains that stained the hood showed how wounded it was.

Fortunately for Theos, the body was still breathing, so it was alive… And unfortunately for the crawling person, it was.

"Here you go," Luna snorted and pushed the hooded man towards Theos with all her strength. The body bounced a bit before landing at Theos' feet.

"Well done," he admitted. Luna blushed a little, but said nothing, watching the spectacle that was about to unfold in front of her with curious eyes.

Theos didn't mind if she watched; after all, what he was about to do was a secret, and he didn't think that Luna would tell the whole world. In his opinion, she wasn't that kind of person.

'It's time to try… This Path' the circulation of his blood in his body increased with excitement as he finally used his Path…. Path of Oblivion.

As he channeled negative mana into his left eye, it began to glow brightly in a crimson color. A petal seemed to slowly form from the crimson negative mana in his eye. Next to the night, it was no exaggeration to say that the scene was simply divine and completely mesmerized by Luna, who watched in silence.

Bending down slightly, he reached out to grab what appeared to be the hooded man's neck and slowly lifted him. With an upright posture, Theos watched as the hooded man's neck was grabbed by the hooded man's throat, causing the hooded man's feet to move away from the ground.

"I know you're awake; if you don't want to be tortured, look me in the eye," he ordered coldly, causing the hooded man to tremble… With no other choice, he had to slowly open his eyes.

Despite being hanged, the hooded man's expression was not one of pain or despair, but of fear. Fear of not knowing what the man in front of him might do to him.

"No, my loyalty comes first! I will not abandon my brothers! I'd rather die than betray them!" the hooded man shouted, glaring at Theos, unaware that this would be the worst mistake of his short life.

"Forget… Forget loyalty," Theos' words even affected the soul of the subject, who didn't react or move an inch.

It was all so fast that he didn't even see how the mana entered his mind and quickly began to consume it, just like his own soul.

"Now tell me… Are you from an organization or a sect? What are they called?" he asked quickly, and the hooded man, his eyes still lost and not looking at anything in particular, replied.

"I come… From the Death Eater sect," he replied, causing Theos to nod. 'Well, this power is reliable' he thought as he saw how his path worked.

He already knew the answer to his question, but he wanted to confirm his ability so he could ask other questions; after all, this was the first time he'd used his Path of Oblivion.

The Path of Oblivion is the least explored existing path in the whole novel; its existence is only mentioned but not explored in depth… Misfortune, the Curse of Oblivion.

'Getting one of your eyes is not as simple as looking more beautiful' he concluded with a smile as he looked at the new message from the system.

[The host has succeeded in unlocking the abilities of the Path of Oblivion].
