After Lex teased Maralene, more soldiers appeared and started whittling down the oncoming horde, but it was never-ending regardless of how many Hivefiends died. Once the women greeted him, the five cats jumped on him.
Aurora and Fiamma ascended his frame, their heads brushing against his cheeks, while Midnight perched atop his head, playfully nibbling on his ear and sending a shiver coursing through him. Meanwhile, Peri expressed her affection by tenderly rubbing against his legs.
However, what truly surprised him was Nephthys, who reverted to her humanoid form and bestowed upon him a passionate kiss. Witnessing this, the ice and fire cats followed suit, smiling as they stood beside her.
As Nephthys finished her passionate kiss with Lex, the orange-haired girl leaned in, her lips meeting his in a tender, unexpected embrace. The warmth of her kiss lingered even after she pulled away, leaving Lex momentarily stunned.
