While
A mage's magic is cast by using the mana around them, using the circle as a generator. While a warrior's aura is mana that has been condensed and refined within the body.
Skills however are abilities that is sometimes related to the individual's personality and aptitude.
They are powers that has been bestowed to them naturally by the system that enables them to protect themselves from danger.
A skill does not use mana so it is reliant on the individual's mental strength.
...
Half of Payne's abilities are authorities that he got from the God of Darkness which has perfect compatibility with him since he is a vampire.
But, a vampiric slime? That seems out of place no matter how I say it inside my head.
-Master, don't you need another one with great talent?
'I do but I'm not desperate enough to actually start a war with Everblack just because I took Payne. I still have other things to worry about after all!'
"Payne von Everblack"
He raised his head, looking at Mel with great excitement.
"Yes, your holiness?"
"What are you doing here? If it wasn't for the consumable artifact you are wearing you would be releasing dark mana again so-"
"I am no longer his apostle"
After Payne cut off Mel, she was dumbfounded, unable to understand what he just said.
She then look at Payne's hand and saw the ring that restrained his dark mana at the banquet a few weeks ago is gone.
"You... by any chance, did you... forcefully removed the connection between yourself and from that Emo God?"
Mel then heard the answer she did not want to hear.
Payne answered with a bright smile, "Yes!"
-Wow, my previous master is brave!
'That's not brave, that is recklessness!'
The authority he had,
'And he just threw that away!?'
'Not only that, removing the mark of apostle forcefully and one-sidedly should have hurt to the point he wished he was dead a hundred times.'
-And yet here he is, smiling with anticipation to you.
'Whose side are you on?'
-Nobody!
Mel raised her hand towards Payne.
Payne's smile vanished as his instinct screamed at him "Get the fuck away from her!!!"
After leaping backwards quickly, a highly acidic solution was emitted from Mel's hand that had divinity mix with it.
"Fine. I'll take you in as my apostle. However, only if I don't find anyone else who is suitable enough to become one, then I will make you mine"
"Ha, hahaha." Payne laughed nervously as he approached Mel, "Was that perhaps a test, your grace?"
"Of course it was. I need to know what you are capable of without that Emo God's power"
'Still, it is amazing that he managed to evade an instantaneous attack like that in a critically injured and weakened state. What more is he capable of if he is in his prime I wonder.'
Mel was frightened at the thought of how powerful Payne actually is as she never saw him getting serious in his fights, including the times she played the game in her previous life.
Pushing her negative thoughts away, Mel called for Lavella and ordered her to take care of Payne as she went to Darius' room.
As he saw the one who drowned him in pleasure, he could not help but anticipate for another 'game' but scared at the same time as he know that he is slowly losing his sense of self.
"What do we have here~?"
Mel slowly run her fingers across Darius foot to his stomach.
The gentle touch of the beautiful woman standing in front of him made Darius quivered.
Mel stood up on the bed and straddled on top of Darius' crotch.
"Say, do you want to become mine?" She said as she cupped his cheeks.
The alluring smell and the gentle sensation of his skin touching with Mel's made him tremble even more.
"If you become a good dog, I'll give you some treat... Oh, wait, I already have a dog. Silly me! Then, why not become my cat. That is perfect for you since you are only supposed to show your affection to me"
-Master, do you really need to do this?
'Of course I do. Removing the mark of the God of Dragons will be painful so I have to put his mind at ease. Besides, teasing him is fun!'
Darius bit his lip as he could not stand it anymore.
He whispered, "Yes... please..."
"Hmm? What was that? I couldn't hear you so speak louder"
Mel swayed her hips, which caused Darius to get hard.
"Please make me yours. I'll do anything you want!"
"Now that's a good boy"
Mel stood up and removed his underwear which is the only garment he was wearing.
Darius' hard member stood straight up like an arrow.
"Ah! Now I see why!"
Mel said as she takes a closer look at Darius' massive 10 inch cock.
"You have these beads-like thing in your dick! Although I felt it, I didn't saw it since the room back then was too dark!"
Swoosh.
The metal chains melted as Mel used her skill, freeing Darius in the process.
"Now, let's start today's game, shall we?"
