Summoned Nyct, The Death Templar.

In the bathroom, Zen sat naked in the bathtub as he enjoyed a hot bath, his eyes were closed as he faintly smiled.

"Why was my lineage unable to be assigned?" Zen thought inwardly as he opened his system interface again and looked at his lineage.

[Lineage unable to be assigned due to Host being from numerous powerful lineage and most being of the taboos, assigning host a lineage would cause the progenitors of the other lineages to be angry which can lead to host death]

Zen paled at the Oracle's reply, before he sighed with relief, he had been so close to dying. "Thank you, Oracle"

"So what do you mean by taboos?"

[Taboo lineages ar lineages whose names shouldn't be mentioned, they are the first lineages from where other lineages were created from]

"So how many taboo lineages do I descend from?" Zen asked.

[Host needs to advance to first order in order to access this information]

"Talk about anticlimactic...tch" Zen clicked his tongue as he resumed his bath. The door opened as Sakura walked in with a towel wrapped around her body. Zen was staring at her in a daze as his mouth were open.

He wanted to look away but he couldn't , it was like his eyes were fixed on looking, and he knew this was Sakura's gift at work. Sakura was naturally beautiful, now coupled with her gift, she's becoming a bane to men.

Sakura walked into the bathtub and sat on Zen while facing him, she had a coquettish smile on her face. Zen panicked as he immediately stood up which made Sakura fall back into the water, he got out of the bathtub and ran out. Sakura watched the door with an amused smile on her face.

"He's cute..." Sakura placed her heart on her chest and listened to how fast her heart was beating. This was the first time she was feeling like this, since her phobia for the opposite sex. She did not hate how she felt, instead she wanted to feel it more.

Zen had changed into a red and black jacket while wearing a black vest inside, black track pants and a pair of sneakers. He found two backpacks and began to pack in some necessary items in them, canned food, water, bandages, torchlight, etc.

The store was still brightly due to the emergency light, so even though there was power outage, there was still light in some places.

The boss room door opened as Sakura walked out wearing tight black jeans, a black jacket and a white vest and black boots. She had tied her hair into a bun. Zen looked at her with an unsteady gaze as he was trying to avoid staring too much but he could not help it, she was so damn beautiful.

Sakura enjoyed how Zen was fidgeting as she walked towards him and hugged him. "No need to fret, Zen... I'm your woman, take things slow ... I'll wait till you're ready"

Her words seem to have calmed Zen, who hugged her back and nodded affirmatively, "I'll make sure you do not wait long"

"Let's check our skills, so we would understand them better" Zen said after a while and Sakura separated from his embrace.

Zen closed his eyes and muttered, "Summon!"

A huge black magic circle appeared on the ground as a gate rose from it, the oppressive aura from the gate was affecting the surroundings as cracks appeared on the wall. Zen was not affected by it, Sakura who was beside him, was also not affected.

The gate opened up with a bang as a bull horned human walked out of the gate which immediately shut and descended back into the magic circle before disappearing.

The horned human stared at Zen coldly, it could feel that Zen was his new master and he didn't like it, since he was very weak.

He was about to say something when his eyes stared straight at Zen's black ones and his eyes widened, he immediately got on one knee and bowed towards Zen, "Lord, Nyct, your humble servant has received your summon"

Zen stood there as he processed what had just happened, the guy kneeling before him had been clearly hostile to him but it suddenly changed, that means he saw something.

"Nyct, right?" Zen asks to which Nyct nodded.

"What did you see?" Zen continued his question and he saw as Nyct's eyes widened before they came to a realization.

"I'm sorry, Lord, but I can not tell you what I saw now, unless you are strong enough, then you would naturally know" Nyct said solemnly.

Zen sighed as another information left his grasp because he was weak, he began to question his own identity. Seeing his changing expression, Sakura held his shoulders and Nyct frowned upon seeing this, before he became stunned as his master's eyes flashed with gentleness after the woman's touch and he even smiled.

"Guess he has a companion this time" Nyct thought inwardly as he sighed. His Lord has always been lonely.

Zen looked at Nyct's profile

Zen nodded his head in surprise at the stats of his summon, when he saw the death Immunity, he was surprised.

"Every entity you summon, will have this skill, we cannot die" Nyct had said when he asked and it was exclusive to his summon, other people's summons would die but his wouldn't.

"Okay, Nyct go out and kill all the aberrants around, capture 10 and bring them back when you're done" Zen said.

"Yes, my Lord" Nyct bowed as his body turned to a wisp of smoke and moved towards the entrance. As soon as he appeared outside, he created a black sword and started killing.

[Your summon, Nyct, has slain a level 3 aberrant, earned 50 Xp]

[Your summon, Nyct has slain a level 2 aberrant, earned 25xp]

[Your summon ...]

Notifications of Nyct's slaying began to float in front of Zen, he brushed them aside as he stood by the entrance and the watched Nyct killing.

Nyct looked particularly striking in his black armour, which fit him perfectly, his armour was not bulky, instead it was slim. He was not wearing any helmet, so his handsome face was viewing. Zen noted how the blood just whizzed past Nyct as he killed, they did not land on him.

"Why did you tell him to capture aberrants?" Sakura asked as she hugged his arm.

"They are for you to use your skills on, so you'll kill them with your power so you can level up" Zen said and he felt how Sakura tightened her hold on him.

"I know it would be your first time, but Sakura I want you to understand that the world isn't what it used to be, look around, they are all trying to kill us, do we just hide..

I wouldn't want you to do this also, I would like if I was the one to do the cruel stuffs, but I'm worried about what if one day I suddenly disappear, what would happen to you? "Zen said.

He took Sakura's chin in his fingers and made her look at him, "You can do this, Sakura, I believe in you"

Sakura saw his trust in her and nodded her head as she determined to not be the one to slow her man down." I will do it"

She turned her gaze towarda the massacre happening before her, she wanted to turn away but she resolved herself and kept her eyes watching.
