Holding back.

Velor gazed at a direction the pressure had dissipated to, and found a pair of bright glimmering bottle green gaze, that had slightly arched as if satisfied with the fight displayed for it.

Velor was able to sense the nature of the ambience that surrounded the green-eyed man, doubting if he was the God that Velor was supposed to escort, but instead of the repulsive feeling he would feel whenever he was in front of those that call themselves Gods,

The green-eyed man seemed to have an ambience that was similar to that of a King he served, but was also a lot more dignified and noble than any other.

As the ambience dissipated, Velor also snapped out of his daze as the gears in his mind began to turn as he on how to bring that green-eyed man to the Silver Knights Order.

And of course, he didn't see the green-eyed man as a King, because he knew that there were no Kings in the world they lived in a past.

Or it could just be that he wasn't that sensitive or smart enough.

'Hmmm.... That was a great fight....' Keith thought.

But,

His gaze was fixed upon Parth's exhausted figure, who was waving his hand at the knights that stood off of the training hall.

"Came help mine and his knocked out ass!" Parth called his knight friends out with a small chuckle as he collapsed on his back.

CLUNK-!

.....

....

The knights rushed towards them while having a heartily chuckle, but Keith's gaze didn't wander off of Parth's figure.

'Should I kill him while he is still weak?' Keith thought as he remembered the life of an entity named [Scarface], whose life was ended by the Gods.

What's so weird about that?

It means that the Gods themselves had to intervene with the human affairs in order to hunt down the [Scarface] that had reached the level of a [Semi-Deus], and

It was none other than Parth himself whose eyes that had darkened without even a ray of hope flickering upon him.

'No, I shouldn't do something that could alter the future too much, at least not yet....' Keith pondered inwardly and steeled his resolve to get stronger before Parth, so that he wouldn't have to worry too much even if Parth turns out to become the [Scarface] in this life too.

"But, what led him to becoming someone like that?" Keith muttered as he narrowed his eyes at Parth, before his gaze landed on Velor, who unofficially had the [Title] of a God Hater.

'I think his anger against the Gods is completely normal,'

"They did belittle that son of a bitch for his atrocities that he committed behind the backs of all!" Keith mumbled under his breath with a scoff.

And as you may have realised, when he meant 'that son of a bitch,'

He really was referring to the King Velor served.

"How very curious." A mumble sounded at his left and found the green-eyed man mumbling under his breath while gazing at the stage.

But,

'Why does it feel like His Majesty is talking to me?'

"Hahaha, no way...." Keith muttered as he shook his head, denying his thoughts, unable to notice a stealthy pair of grey eyes gazing at him, constantly.

'That was a great sword art.' Ivan thought as he gazed at the figures being carried off of the stage by the members of silver knights order.

He couldn't completely follow up with the sword swings, but he could "understand" the fight thanks to him being able see the [Aura] flow that was fuming upon the hearts of those who wielded weapons, while there was a particular oddity that had his powers concentrated within his heart, and it was none other than the one who had used that insignificantly complex series of magic circles to teleport Ivan, Nu, Zilla, and the others onto the spectator seats.

"How very curious."

'It seems like that is the only difference between the aura users and magic power users.' Ivan muttered in his mind, and

'They are squandering the poises ability that the power enveloping this world holds.' Ivan mumbled inwardly, but as a sovereign he wouldn't interfere with affairs unless pleaded for, and since he also knew that the human nature was naturally curious, if they were passionate about what they were doing, they would be able to evolve within years.

A few measly years wasn't a long time in Ivan's eyes, so he hadn't even thought of doing something about their, the humans', inefficiently insignificant way of using the poises ability that had unpredictable and unprecedented factor from the infinite.

'If factored appropriately, usage of both [Aura] and [Magic Power] becomes possible.'

"..."

"Internally and externally...." Ivan muttered thinking about how they were drawing out power from their hearts which was used as their cores.

"Nu, I will see you in my room tonight." Ivan said in a commanding tone, even though his words could easily be misunderstood, Nu bowed her head in understanding.

There wasn't even a question voiced as to whether they'll reach a room by 'tonight' or not; whether they'll even have luxury to get a room or not; whether they'll be in a same room or a separate room; whether they would be allowed to enter other's room or not; or any other similar questions that flashed in their minds, none of that mattered neither to Ivan nor to Nu, as the latter was going to do whatever it took to reach Ivan's room by 'tonight' even if it seemed to be something that was nigh-impossible.

"By your order." Nu muttered.

FLUTTER-!

FHUMP-!

"?" Nu's head tilted in confusion, unable to process what was happening as she gazed at a dark skinned and crimson-eyed alluring woman sit atop Ivan's lap as if was only natural.

Zilla then slightly leaned forward and pushed her ass back, sensually with a small pout on her face as she gazed back at Ivan.

"Zilla..... You seriously....." Ivan muttered with a soft sigh.

'I don't mind if you decide to pick more women for yourself, but if I deem them unworthy of you, I shall shred them to pieces.' His lovely wife's seriously lovely yet scary words sounded in his mind as he noticed Zilla's [Lust] oozing uncontrollably, which had started to affect Ivan's weakened consciousness.

'This is dangerous....' Ivan lamented. It wasn't that he considered Zilla to be unworthy of him, nor was it that he wasn't attracted to her, she was such an alluring demon that he too had a hard time holding back at times, but the current Ivan missed Nara, his wife, if they had a passionate coitus at these moments, he would think of Nara while he was with another woman, which would be uncouthly of him and disrespectful for the woman he was with and to his wife, hence he had been controlling himself and he had even made Zilla aware of that, yet that sinful lust demon with a lustfully alluring body continued to entice him as if it didn't matter.

"Zilla.... Stop." Ivan mumbled under his breathy hot breath, as he closed his eyes and clenched his fists tightly, trying to hold himself back.

Zilla stiffened, stood back up while controlling her oozing [Desire] and turned back to face Ivan, who let out a sigh of relief and opened his eyes to gaze at Zilla's which had turned misty.

'You can use me to release your pent up emotions' Zilla relied her thoughts in sign language.

'Hold on a bit more, I do not want to do something like that to you.' Ivan too conveyed his thoughts in sign language without actually speaking even though she could hear him clearly.

'You do know that I would never do something like that too you, right?' Ivan asked and Zilla responded with a small smile and a vigorous nod. Ivan caressed and ruffled her waist length red hair with a small smile on his face.

'Don't worry, since you won't leave my side anyway just like her, you too can join us in my room' Ivan conveyed as he pointed at Nu, who was glaring at Zilla with a hint of envy and jealousy flickering behind her fiery gaze.

Since Ivan had all of the seven sins, even though it wasn't "eatable" in his current state, he was able to read those alluring emotions in Nu's eyes, which could potentially incite a demon's unquenched thirst.

Zilla glanced at Ivan from the corner of her eyes as she licked her lips with a blush that darkened her complexion.

'Eat only a bit, without harming her' Ivan gave her the permission she wanted, and before Nu could even react, Zilla kissed her lips.

"!!!!!!"

"Hahahaha." Noticing how Nu's eyes dilated, Ivan chuckled softly as a thin obstructing veil enveloped them whole before anybody even gazed at what was happening.

With this none could see nor hear what was happening in it, not even Ivan....

'Mhmn!?' A questioning moan sounded in Ivan's consciousness and he gazed at his side with a strange expression on his face.

'This demon!' Ivan muttered inwardly, understanding what that demonic demoness was conspiring.
