Chapter 144 144 - Perfume



Nyx appeared in a black dress that reached down to her knees. The contrast of white and black was as surprising as the disappearance of the horns on her forehead. Lux, on the other hand, wore a bright white dress that gave even more attention to the long black hair she had, and like her sister, she hid the golden halo that normally shone on her head.

The two were like opposites, and not knowing where to look, Ryan had his attention stolen by Livia, who slowly walked over to him and held one of his hands. "Look, we got some answers."

The elf led Ryan to the table, and pulling a control from her pocket, she caused a wall to close the table creating an isolated room. "Hardly anyone comes into the library at this hour, so we are alone" she said aloud, "but you know that" she continued. 

"What did you guys find?" he said as he looked at the books spread across the table. In the center was a notebook with Livia's handwriting next to several numbers stacked in a list.

Nyx approached the notebook and pointed to it "We wrote down all the events we could remember from the second world. The time difference between Lux's output and mine is about a thousand years, and the difference between the last event we remember and the most recent book is another three thousand years."

Everyone in the room exchanged glances, as if they knew how serious the situation was. Uncomfortable, Ryan looked down thoughtfully. "That means it's been over four thousand years since you were trapped in the book. Even if for you the feeling is only a thousand years, as you were rescued from a portal, that could mean that the passage of time is different within the portals."

Sitting down in one of the chairs, Livia fixed her glasses and pulled one of the books from the table "That is still too strong a statement to make now, there is still the possibility that Nyx's sense of time was a result of the book"

Playing with her black hair, Lux let out a tired sigh "This is stressful" she said as she looked down dejectedly. Even with so many doubts, Ryan was optimistic about it. 

Livia held out to him the book she was holding "This is the most recent book we found, at least the date on it says it's the most recent." Ryan nodded and began to flip through the pages of that book, with Nyx's help, even with difficulty he managed to read some of what was in that file.

Camouflaged amidst one of the human languages, that book held accounts of a war between the sacred human kingdom and a prominent demon lord called Azkhyura. The descriptions of the battle were visibly contrived, humiliating and cursing the human people while giving such absurd glory to the demons that it was comical.

"That's just war propaganda" Ryan said out loud as he put the book under the table. Nyx touched his hand, with a smile she said "But still, now we have a little better idea of how the second world is doing."

"It's good to know that the war only involved the empire of light. At least the rest of the human realms seem to be okay" Lux said as she stretched. 

"So the places I explored were in different times" Ryan said to himself, in a tone that only Nyx and Lux could understand. Sighing, he turned around "Keep checking the contents of the books, the time for my duel is coming."

Walking out the door of the small room that appeared around the table, he walked down the aisle of shelves and with a single bound launched himself to the top of that building, reaching the main floor with ease. 

Nyx, Olivia and Lux remained with their research. The elf and the succubus were carrying the books with demonic energy, while Lux watched the pages carefully and with the help of tweezers, turned the pages she wanted to read. 

Due to her sacred energy, the angel girl could not touch the books as this would cause them to revert to the original material. Even with this difficulty, she was still managing to have very promising results, helping her sister and her new friend.

* * *I think you should take a look at

Flying in the skies of that arena, a girl with short white hair watched the crowd gather as they lined up to watch her duel. Even with a black blindfold covering her eyes, she could still observe each of those people, and intently she waited for the presence of her opponent. 

When Ryan arrived near the arena, he quickly noticed the gigantic flow of mana on top of that building. Even if all the energy of the people who came to watch this spectacle were channeled into a single individual, the amount of mana would still be less than that of the girl who was flying through the sky. 

Even with his attentive eyes, Ryan couldn't see her disappear. And within seconds, he felt all that energy on his back, it was an unusual and confusing sensation. As if he was at the bottom of the sea, overwhelmed by all the magical signature that girl possessed.

"You smell is interesting," she said, and when he turned around, she gave a small smile. Looking into Ryan's red eyes, she continued speaking "You are as handsome as they talk, demon boy. I hope you're strong."

'Does she know what I am?'

The girl laughed and answered his thought "Obviously I know what you are. It's like you use demon energy as perfume, and almost like you don't take a shower. And no I don't read thoughts if that's what you are thinking"

Ryan laughed, at what she said, and with his confident smile he replied, "You're amazing too, Rin. I'm glad I caught your attention"

The girl made a face of confusion as if she didn't understand his reaction. "You are really interesting, I liked you. I hope you release as much energy as in the class explosion " she said, before disappearing.

Instead of feeling intimidated, Ryan was actually happy to have seen her. With a confident smile, his red eyes sparkled as he watched Rin Silvermoon's status window.
