Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 119: Latent instinct

There were a total of three big shots in Theemai. The one that remained Neutral was obviously Transgressors. One was a company owned by regulars and their commander was a level 4 swordsman. Moreover, there was a Clan owned by a level five mage.

Transgressors didn't have time to wait until the siege, considering the Prophecy Nix received from Felishia and the vision of the upcoming war. They made him rush things to be prepared for the unanticipated dangers he'd be facing.

Vikil was awake by the evening the day he returned with Rebecca. 

"Where am I? who are you? Valentina!"

Those were the questions that came out of Vikil's mouth as soon as he woke up in a startle searching for his beloved Valentina.

"Calm down Mr.Vikil..."

Nix assured him standing opposite his bed.

"I am Nix, and in Entinzen's terms, I am an outsider. I read the journal you wrote... I couldn't find out which year you transformed into the Evil mouth. Well, Read this yourself."

He said and gave him out the Journal.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr.Nix. May I know if you found a lady?"

He asked with hopeful eyes hoping that his evil mouth resurrected her and as he asked Nix's expression turned grim.

"I am sorry, Her body was destroyed due to an accident."

Nix said in a low tone staring at Vikil's tears-welled-up eyes.

"I see..."

"Please take rest for a few days. Then I'll be going out then."

Nix said indifferently and left receiving a distorted fake smile and a nod from him.

He then walked into Rebecca's room where she seemed conscious as well.

"Hello there... Feeling alright now?"

He said leaning to the entry with his hands crossed.

"Yes...May I know why you decided to rescue me after branding me?"

She asked with a smirk staring at Nix's eyes.

"Well, that's what I'd like to ask. Why did you save me back then?"

He said indifferently, placing his cigarette and lighting it up.

"Haha, do you suffer from any brain damage? I didn't save you alright?"

She said and tried to raise up and shrieked in pain tripped towards the floor.

Fortunately, he rushed towards her and grabbed her waist. 

"Well, whatever. I can't let you leave and I used up the thing in your bag. Moreover, you can't move since your bones are cracked up. It'd probably take a few weeks under medications for you to just walk."

"You've changed a lot. haven't you?"

She said looking at him with a smile and added.

"But, can you take your eyes off my chest?"

She said covering it with her hands.

"Ohh! how maidenly? Last time I saw you. You were going on a killing spree"

He said and took his hands off her. Suddenly Cinzia who peered at the sight backed away from there quietly without speaking anything to him.

"Well, Regardless of that I am still a woman. I am rather weak right now..." Rebecca said, glancing at Cinzia's path for a second.

"Alright, So why did you go on a search for Sublimity material?"

"Why wouldn't I? It's a second chance. You could get to make it back alive."

She shrugged.

"I guess so. Your team died in the Labyrinth I guess?"

"Indeed... I barely made it back alive. Although someone tried to abandon me there..."

She frowned with a dejected expression on her face.

"Alright, Knight...Don't just try to run away, okay? I don't have any hidden motives."

He said looking at her eyes seriously and turned towards the door.

"Yeah sure, Even If I wanted I cannot go can I?"

Nix's lips curved up as he left the room without answering.

He walked to the center of the hall as usual after ordering everybody to assemble there for a meeting.

"Everyone, We don't have much time left. Tomorrow morning we'll be leaving the clan house to hunt down the other groups of Theemai. We'll be splitting into two teams. I am leaving with Tarok to take down the eastern part-owned by the outlaws. Cinzia, Camila, and Dae Seok to the Northern part to attack the Regulars. Kill everyone that gets in the way without consideration. The others will be guarding the clan house."

Nix said nonchalantly and went back to his room collecting things to go for training.

"Nix..."

"Yeah?"

He said, turning back to Cinzia.

"You are not taking enough time to even talk to me... What are you planning to do?"

"I am preparing to not take things slow. We'll be facing serious threats soon. So help me out and support me. I heard a prophecy about losing everything I own and I cannot let that happen."

"Where are you leaving now?"

"For training, Can you come with me?"

He asked indifferently, looking into her eyes by lifting her chin gently with his hand.

"Yeah, Sure... Why are you suddenly..."

Before she could finish her sentence. He enthusiastically pressed his lips on hers while inserting his hand into her bra and groping her soft melons.

"mnhh!"

She moaned as he pinched her nipples.

Then he gradually undressed her upper attire and placed his face between her soft chocolate mounds and sniffed it and intimately moved his face towards her areolae and suckled it and teased it with his tongue.

Women needed attention and successful couples needed intimacy. He knew he was not giving her enough time as much as he wanted to. He absolutely loved her though he wasn't expressive and not able to express it.

"Thank you for caring about me, Cinzy"

He said looking at her.

She smiled and dug her hands towards his crotch and grabbed his rod and crouched.

"You love tit job right..."

She said placing his rod between her bosom.

"Ahh!"

He heaved out air feeling the entrancing pleasure of two soft mounds rubbing and pressing his rod. He began to thrust as she pressed it continuously until he cummed on her face.

"Wanna go for another round? I am far from satisfied."

He said pointing at his upright crotch and pushed her towards the wall.

"You're being too rough! Mnhh!"

She yelled as he thrusted deep into her vagina. The couples went on like that for an hour until they felt satisfied.

Soon, they dressed up and went to the open ground at a close distance from the clan house. There were some huge wooden logs and sort of metal equipment and weapons, levers in that vast ground.

"What are these for? Defense mechanism for a siege?"

He asked Cinzia.

"I guess so."

He began unsheathed his dagger while Cinzia took out her sky piercer, the two hundred meters long jade spear.

"So, what ability are you going to train?"

Cinzia asked excitedly.

"Latent Instinct"

He once again opened the information to check it out.

[Reawakened ability~ Latent instinct (Rank-G)]

[Description: A ability that has been honed both internal and external instincts of the user's unconsciousness under suppressing catastrophes]

"How does that work?"

"I think...It's more like a honed subconsciousness that alarms me to make moves purely relying on instincts."

"Can I know how to obtain it?"

"Actually I don't know. It's something I luckily stumbled upon. One of my awakened abilities."

Swiftly she swung her spear towards his arm and noticed his hand moving instinctively and blocking the spear.

"Cool!"

She said with a smile.

"Seriously? You could have at least warned me."

He said and tied a cloth around his eyes.

"Now come at me."

As soon as he said that she abruptly swung it again. But this time he got hit by the spear.

"KUeek!"

He squealed and grabbed his stomach.

"I am Sorry, Should I slow down?"

"No, just continue doing it."

What Nix tried to do was, raise its rank by honing its rank and sensitivity in using the ability. She continuously swung her spear and beat him black and blue just like how he demanded.

"HAah! HAh! This is really hard..."

He said while panting heavily.

"How about using it first without closing your eyes?"

"But, It's easy..."

"Let's slowly raise the difficulty."

"Alright"

He said and opened his eyes as the spear's shaft went directly towards his nose. Out of nowhere he dodged the attack and looked at her with a dumbstruck expression.

"Com..."

Before he could speak her spear went flying towards him.

"Cinzia... What the hell are you even doing?"

"Work harder! We've lessened the difficulty so let's compensate for this."

She said and spun her spear.

Nix's plan was simple. He wanted to master latent instinct and use it with the combination of Doom prediction vision. Which would certainly draw out a new and extraordinary potential of the ability and use the essence to reach the pinnacle of the ability's standard usage level.

The more she used the more he began to sense the attacks but, it was not even comparable to how Dark Nix had trained. His sensitivity and reactions were extremely slow and his mind couldn't perfectly grab the mechanism of the ability. It's truly a shame that Current Nix couldn't even surpass an ability Dark Nix created. 

The reason for that was simple. If it was an ability that both his current body and mind didn't experience even the slightest. What comes easy goes easy.

He didn't do any hard work to gain that either. In that case, his body and mind completely needed to absorb the ability from its basic to master it to that level. Which is also why it's rank was at G. The system clearly wanted him to sharpen it instead of easily giving it away.
