He is twenty one. He got the mark when he was fifteen. And it says here that he needs to do it at least once a day. That means that, for at least six years, he has been doing it everyday. A true nymphomaniac. My goodness.
"You... you're a playboy?"
"Yeah, what's so wrong about that?"
We look at each other, as if figuring out what was wrong to our question just now.
He doesn't look as scared as before. Why is he gathering mana all of a sudden?
"L-lustful world, activate!"
Nothing happened.
"W-why isn't it working?!"
He scream in confusion that his special skill that he got from the Demon of Lust, Asmodeus, didn't work. Base on the mana, he is keeping the range to be within this room to make the effects more effective. But that won't work on me.
"Your special skill
"Huh?! You're a man that doesn't have any sexual desires?! Are you even a man at this point?"
"That's not the question you should be asking me you know"
I want to kill him to gain his power but the side effects of the blessing is the worst match up for me.
"Hmm, when exactly did you lose your... you know?"
"When I was twelve. Why?"
"Nothing"
Yup. Confirmed. He is a genuine nymphomaniac.
"Then, you will come with me. Assuming that you do not want to die that is"
"W-why should I? And also, how do you even know about my skill?! How do you know that I am an apostle even though I worked so hard not to let anyone know about this?!"
And there it is. He is now asking me the questions he should ask me. Wait, didn't Gwen said that when you killed an apostle, the side effects will be completely nullified?
"That's it. I'm going to kill you"
After saying those words, Zoe appeared behind him and she quickly stab his heart and neck, killing him in an instant. Without having the time to react or even have the chance to counter, Will died painlessly. Base on my eyes, he even committed rape. So no hard feelings for killing him.
Now that his dead. Zoe who is my familiar killed him, this will make his power to go to me.

Yes!
I took a look and as I expected, the mark from Will got transferred to me, on my upper right thigh.
If I keep on killing apostles, is my body going to be filled with tattoo-like marks? I'll try not to if that is the case.
[Choose two immunity that you will receive]
I can't get all of it? Then again, they are pretty broken. The power that is.
"Let's see... Hmmm.... I choose
Among all of the options these two are the best in the my situation. I'm naturally immune to temptation since I am asexual while the increase in all base stats can be compensated if I just slaughter people and let myself evolve through the souls that I would collect.
[You have now receive two additional immunity]
[You killed the apostle of the Demon of Lust. You now won't be able to form any contract to any demonic type spirit]
[All demonic kind monsters will attack you on sight]
Hehehe, another one got mad at me. The only difference is that I saw it coming. I turn to Zoe but it doesn't look like she is mad at me or anything. That would mean that the after effects of killing Will won't work on Zoe since she is already my familiar.
[The Goddess of Love is thankful for killing the apostle of the Demon of Lust]
Right, right. The two are polar opposites. Aphrodite make people to get in love with each other with pure and genuine love while Asmodeus is someone who breaks relationships of couples and defile maidens. It makes sense that she'd be grateful.
Now that his soul doesn't have any soul immunity I can now control his soul. I put his soul in my
I made Inosi to use some kind of spell to clean the blood that was spilled.
I went back outside to go see Nunu who is still a dragon.
"You can undo it now"
The red dragon which was intimidating everyone who was just outside of the king's throne room, slowly turn into a human. All the guards who are at the scene were stupefied to the sudden transformation. A dragon that is capable of turning into a human would indicate the dragon possess high level of intelligence. Although, in Nunu's case, he was a human before being able to transform into a dragon and also, he ain't that smart or anything.
I whispered, "Zoe, go to the town and find out anything you can get about a man named Will Kertodes. Be swift and don't let anyone know about this"
She nodded and quickly went around.
Me and Nunu went to the garden where Nrowe is currently at.
"Nrowe, you found anything good?"
"Yes Sir!"
She showed me a very weird looking plant.
"This is a plant called Ptoizol. It has healing properties which is why it is use for medicines. There are a lot of it here in Desafit since it grows abnormally fast. However, planting it somewhere else other than this kingdom, it will immediately die"
"That's good to hear. Let's go back"
We went back to the room where we talk things about earlier. When we entered the room, the queen's dress was different. Based on all their smiles my plans seems to have work.
I let Nrowe do the talking.
"We will be asking for the plant called 'Ptoizol' in a monthly basis for free. While we will also provide the Desafit kingdom three hundred bar soaps monthly for free as well. Do you all agree to this deal?"
Before going out to get Will, I made sure to persuade the queen to try the soap I we have. Be it on her hands or face. As long as she uses it I would win this negotiation.
"We see no problem with it. But where will we be receiving these soap bars and where will we be sending the plants as well?"
"We will be exchanging goods at Lady Rose's land. The trade will be here on this road near the lake. I believe that this location would be fair since Lady Rose's land have road that leads directly to the capital. The road that you will be using doesn't have any monsters that much as well base on my analysis. Do you agree, your highness?"
"I do"
I let Nrowe do the talking but she sure is getting excited.
-Nunu, are you bored?
-Just a bit, master.
To begin with, Nunu isn't the type for this kind of talks.
-Later, if you are able to do accomplish the quest I'll give you, I will tell you what princess Layla's favorite food is.
-Really, master?!
-Yes!
Nunu wasn't able to hide the smile forming in the corners of his lips.
After settling the agreement, we went back and I made Nunu do things that only he can do.
"Good work back there"
"That is only natural, master!"
"Do you want to eat something sweet?"
"Yes!"
Me and Nrowe went to a cake shop and ordered our food.
-I have gathered all the information about a man named Will Kertodes.
-Go ahead.
-Will Kertodes is said to be one of the best knights in Desafit kingdom. He is also infamous for hooking up with girls everyday ever since he was fifteen. There are also rumors about him leading girls to the forest at night to assault them. He is an orphan who was able to live by himself by working as a mercenary for six years and became a knight at the age of eighteen.
-Thanks. You can go back now.
-Understood!
He does have a nice face and average looking body. But that won't make him to be able to lure girls into dark places. While eating, I check all the skills I got from killing Will.
[Additional skill:
1.) Temptation(Active)- By hypnotizing the target, the target will be unable to resist the caster. The power and duration will differ based on proficiency.
2.) Heart breaker(Passive)- The more hearts and relationships you break, the more your HP will rise, permanently]
These were the two skills that I got from killing him. A guy with a slightly above average looks with a normal knight's body was able to lure in girls everyday. This would explain how he had so much HP and why he was able to do it so many times everyday.
"Do you like the cake?"
"Yes master!"
I ordered ten whole cakes. And I went to another place and bought ten barrels of beer. And to another place to buy clothes.
-Master, I have successfully did it.
-Good job, Nunu.
The two of us went to Nunu's location and saw a mountain of monster corpse. They died with one hit from Nunu. I ask him to go kill monsters outside the capital that have delicious meat. It was three hours from the shop to here.
I put all of the carcass to my inventory and head back to the lake.
"Master, what are you doing" Nrowe ask while looking to the black soul I am processing.
"I am currently reconstructing the soul of a certain guy so that he won't be bad anymore. So that he will atone for his sins"
"I see"
[The Master of the Souls is glad to hear that]
After arriving at the lake, we inside and celebrated. I pulled out a cake, one barrel of beer, and two monster corpse. With all these, this should be enough to entertain everyone.
I let them have their party.
"So how are you guys doing?"
"We are doing great thanks to your help" (Fera)
"You can live here with your sister. But you will need to work. You do a good job and I promise to you that you won't regret it"
"Of course. I don't have any intentions on being a freeloader forever, master"
I went out quietly while dragging Alister.
The atmosphere here outside is tranquil. The lake reflected the moonlight.
"Is there something that you need, master?"
"The transportation will be at most two weeks from the headquarters to here so we need something that can fly which will shorten the arrival of the soap bars. We also need someone to send the Ptoizol plants that will be sent here monthly"
Alister shrugged. He shake his head and fell to the ground while I kept smiling at him.
"A-are you by any chance saying t-that I will be the one d-doing such a thing?!"
"Yes. Tomorrow, we will be going to the northern most part of the world where people mine for the magic stones. We will be catching a frost wyvern and you will be its owner. So do get a lot sleep since we will be dashing there, okay?"
He scream in both fear and disbelief. The dwarves are known to live underground but they extremely hate the sky and any high places so this reaction is to be expected. He gloomily went back since he already know that he have no choice but to listen to my words.
Just as he open the door to go inside, Nunu came out.
I sat down at the ground and patted the place beside me, gesturing him to sit beside me. After sitting we talk.
"Princess Layla's favorite food are fruits, especially the sweet ones. She also loves adventuring but because of her family and current situation, she can't. Which is why, we will be getting the princess in the future"
Nunu look to the moon and smiled a bit.
"Are you satisfied?"
"Yes"
I still have a lot of those aphrodisiac drugs. After purifying them, the drugs after effects which is bad for the health vanish. Now they can be use without any worries anymore. I even made several candles which are twenty percent wax and eighty percent drug. I am now prepared for the future when the two gets an alone time.
Nunu fell asleep.
I pulled out Will's body and his soul as well.
Back then, I was able to resurrect Zel because I killed him for about just a few seconds right before resurrecting him.
I drew a magic circle and put his body at the center of it.
"Inosi, put a barrier around me so that no one will be able to feel what I am going to do"
"Understood"
He casted the barrier and I began my work.
"I, Michael Santiago, now return this dead man back to the world of the living"
One of the barrier that Inosi made got destroyed. That's not surprising since my mana capacity is higher than his.
"Forbidden magic: Resurrection"
All the barriers got destroyed. The resurrection was successful. While heading back here from the capital of Desafit, I was reconstructing Will's soul so that I can pass down the skills that I got from killing him.
The resurrection I did back then was pretty much just healing and putting back the soul into the body. But this time, the 'Forbidden magic: Resurrection' is capable of resurrecting someone with only the soul or the body. Since this is my first time doing it I prepared both the soul and the body since if it fail for some reason, Will, will really die.
"Inosi, are you okay?"
"Yes, master"
He look really exhausted though.
"Go rest. I will handle everything else"
He nodded and vanish.
I carried Will and Nunu to a bed.
-How are the three of you doing there, Mel?
-We are doing fine, master. Nothing noteworthy so far.
-Alright.
Morning came and we departed.
Leaving Alister's right hand man in charge, we left to go to the north pole to capture a strong frost wyvern. Me and Alister are on Nunu's back while Will, Nrowe, and Alfred went back to Astel using the car. I ask Inosi to cast a sleeping spell on Will since I still have plans for him.
After a day and a half we reach the northern most part of the world, the north pole, the place where they mine the magic stones. Due to the concentration of mana here, it is easy to mine magic stones here. Normal looking rock will turn into a valuable magi stones in only a few days.
"You should wear this"
I gave Alister a winter coat.
"How come I'm the only one freezing here?!"
"That's because Nunu is using his fire around his body therefore he isn't getting cold while I am using my aura to protect myself"
Winter wolves and yetis attack us but they got scared with Nunu's glare so they weren't much of a problem. Ice golems who didn't have any emotion or intelligence charge at us. So we simply destroyed them. I took some alive as a sample though.
We head deeper. Due to the sudden blizzard we were force to walk since Nunu won't be able to fly properly since the winds are strong enough to knock you down if you don't put force on your legs.
"Let's stay for the night in this cave"
After going inside, we turn Nunu as our heater. He melted all the ice and snow inside the small cave. I then inscribed the whole cave with runes so that it would be able to keep the room temperature of the cave for the next week.
We continued on our way when the blizzard vanish. We then reach the top. A part of the mountain above the clouds. Countless wyverns were flying from all directions. The temperature here was cold but not as cold as when we were on the cave, it's leagues above it. The sheer coldness here exceeds the time when Levi release his killing intent.
"Inosi"
"Yes, master!"
After summoning Inosi, he quickly understood the situation and casted a spell that will warm us. However, he may be a mid class spirit, but that won't change the finite amount of mana that he possess. At most he can hold the spell for about two hours.
The wyverns notice us and roared.
We continued our walk to the top, ignoring the wyverns that are roaring. They let us through as they though we were only walking to our death.
Just like what that girl said the wyverns really did let us through. First she knew about the outbreak and now this. I will have to interrogate her when I get back.
After entering the enormous cave which seems to be their home, a wyvern, bigger than the rest landed down right in front of us. With glistening blue scales, the ruler of all wyverns decided to show up.
The wyvern roared.
"Ah, yeah, just because you are a sacred beast doesn't mean I won't understand you"
The other wyverns stop. Both Alister and Nunu also stop. They tried to look at me with more focus as they try to hear my words again.
"Yes, I can speak your language. Something wrong with that?"
The two confirm that just now that I did speak the language of these monsters. But it is not like I can converse with just anyone. They have to be at least unique class for me to engage in a conversation like this. The ruler of wyverns, base on Gwen, is a sacred beast, a sacred class monster.
The ruler of wyverns open her mouth. Unlike earlier, she is now conversing with me with more pride but in a gentle manner. A human who can understand their language is unheard of, so that may be the reason for the sudden change. I am only able to do this since the system has an auto-translation function. When I am talking with someone else, my voice instantly gets translated before it even gets out of my mouth. That is as long as I intend to speak their language. It is really fascinating how the hell this function works.
"What have you come here for, human?"
"I'm here to dispose all of you. You wyverns have always attack men and women and destroying land for fun. I have confirm this through reading records of your race's deeds as well as the memories of those who have suffered from your pleasure to hunt"
The frost wyverns once again roared, not out of enjoyment but out of anger.
'A human dares to oppose us? A mere human dares to say that he is above us?'
The wyverns open their mouth and mana gathered.
"Lustful world, activate"
They may be monsters but that doesn't change the fact that even they feel lust. And because of my large mana pool, the range increase significantly and I can keep this up for six hours at least.
Half of the wyverns within range fell down, unable to move. While those who can move wasn't able to muster any strength to fight as they are busy in their own illusions.
I raise my hand and Nunu turn into a dragon. Nunu fired his skill
"Don't worry I won't kill you all. I still need you guys for the future. So surrender now while the casualties are still low"
"Just because there is a dragon in my domain doesn't mean I will back down, you mere human! I am the queen of the frost wyverns who is a sacred beast. What made you think that a dragon will defeat me"
The queen howled and all the fire from Nunu's attack turn to ice. Nunu's body is a legendary beast which is one level lower than the queen of the frost wyverns who is a sacred beast, so being able to do such a thing in single moment is to be expected as well.
Inosi's mana seems to be lower than half now.
"Zoe, keep all the wyverns that are not affected by my skill occupied"
Zoe rush to the entrance and stop the wyverns that tried to enter from the outside.
"Inosi, you can stop now, help Zoe instead. Nunu you keep firing everywhere to keep the temperature at a point where we can still mover properly while canceling the wyvern queen's ice attack"
They did as I ordered them.
"M-master, w-what am I g-going to d-do?"
"Stay there and enjoy the show. If you find one to your liking, I will make that wyvern as your companion then"
Unfortunately, I still can't use my warstyle. Things will get a little rough here.
The queen fly above to have the advantage and then fired her chilling breath.
"Open,
As I intercepted the wyvern queen's attack, countless undead magicians showed up. I kept the bodies of the undead magicians with me just for this special occasion.
The countless undead magicians scattered and fired mid tier fire type spells onto the wyvern queen. Some tried to attack me but with the holy attribute I am emitting right now, they got scared and attack the wyvern that is flying right in front of them instead.
Water is strong against fire but fire is strong against ice in this world.
"Berserking wave"
The wyvern queen then use a water skill, similar to a tsunami. The towering water wave burst forth at a terrifying speed.
We would normally suffer heavy casualties, that is if I didn't receive any information about her power. But I have come here fully prepared to fight her with all the tricks I have organized for today.
"I can't let that happen now, can I. I can't use martial arts to attack you physically so I really need those undead magicians that are using fire type spells.
A tiny black hole appeared and started to suck away the wave of water.
"Phantom World: Void"
This void was able to suck away the overwhelming numbers of undead armies at Hel's labyrinth. A wave of water like this would be gone in a matter of seconds.
Unlike back then, it only took me less than seven seconds to suck all the water away to nothingness.
The undead magicians continued to barrage with fire spells to the flying wyvern and little by little, her health got reduced to a tenth of her original health. She was too busy with intercepting the undead magicians while fighting against the temptation of
With both her powers suppressed, she had no choice but to evade the relentless barrage of fire coming at her. She had no means of escape as well since the cave's entrance is the only way out. Not to mention, she would need some time to crack the walls to escape but that would leave her full of openings.
Some undead were getting hit by the wyvern queen's attack that slip past my defense but that doesn't matter since the attack that get pass my defenses are not enough to kill the undead magicians that has regenerative abilities. They also have natural resistance against elemental attacks so the wyvern queen's retaliation will not bear any fruit.
'Is this really the mere human just a while ago? Ridiculous! He is simply toying with me. Me! A sacred beast is getting toyed by a human?! Don't joke with me!!!.'
The thoughts of being defeated by a human made the wyvern queen enrage. Only I knew what was going inside her head, with the help of Loki of course.
The wyvern queen wasn't able to keep her flight thus she fell down to the ground, unable to attack. I killed the undead magicians since their job is now done.
"You lost the moment I entered your cave. Had you fought me outside, you would have the advantage and we wouldn't had been able to beat you as easy as this. Make sure to swallow your pride on your next life. That is if you will"
If the wyvern queen by any chance went out and fought us there, I would be force to summon Ella to assist me since she possess long range attacks. Even with that, our chances of winning would still be low.
I killed the queen of the frost wyverns. I also canceled
All the wyverns prostrated themselves to me. Both Inosi and Zoe also knelt down in awe.
Me winning against a very powerful sacred beast in her own territory must have been awe inspiring for them. I let them return to the spirit realm so that they can rest.
I turn around and Alister is patting the head of a frost wyvern.
"You sure are enjoying yourself over there, huh"
"I-I am not! This guy just went close to me and kept on snuggling with me"
"Well congratulations then. That wyvern is now your companion"
The two seems happy.
Nunu reverted back to his human form and sat down. I went towards the body of the queen of frost wyverns.
Now then,
"My name is Michael Santiago. At this moment, I now open the gate to the spirit realm"
The cave once again regained its coldness. Ice spikes formed.
"With the body of this sacred beast. Heed my call to those who live in the frozen plain"
The wyvern queen's body slowly vanish.
"I offer a drop of my blood"
The magic circle glowed.
"And here, the Gods shall be the witness of this summoning"
A beast appeared. A frost gryphon. With it's glowing blue eyes, the hue of its feathers gleamed brilliantly. The creature possess dignity and beauty.
It spread its wings and then bowed down to submit itself to me.
I guess there is no need to fight anymore.
"From now on your name shall be Fegonia. It means frost white"
The gryphon wag its tail. I guess she likes her new name.

[The Goddess of Snow, Khione, hopes that you won't abuse her legendary beast]
"Don't worry, I won't do such things like that"
Now that this place is under my control, I have full access to all the frost magi stones. They are hundreds of times more valuable than the ones being mined. Their all mine now~.
"I am now the ruler of these place. This dwarf" I pointed at Alister, "He will be the one to take care of you all in the near future"
I pulled out all of the beast monster out of my inventory. The frost wyverns were delighted. Up until now the only thing the have been eating was yetis and winter buffaloes. They eat their fill while Alister gets to know the remaining wyverns with trembling legs. I wonder it it's because of the cold or is it because he is still afraid of them. Not that I care.
While they eat, I happily mined all the frost magi stones in the mountain. It doesn't matter if I mine them now since the concentration of mana here is really high. They will just com back later on.
"Nia, are you done eating already?"
The gryphon nodded happily.
I gathered all the frost wyverns as I have something to tell them.
"Listen, this dwarf will bring you all food every weak, so do try your best to share so that it will last you long. Do not let anyone go here. Attack anyone other than us on sight"
The frost wyverns roared in agreement.
After settling things down we went back to where Alfred and the rest are with me and Nunu on top of Nia while Alister went back to his place with his frost wyvern. I still need to listen to that girl's explanation how she know so many things about the future.
