'Getting him to give me one of his eyes isn't as simple as looking prettier,' he concluded with a smile as he looked at the new system notification.
[The host has unlocked the abilities of the Path of Oblivion].
'I'll check it out later' he thought; after all, he already knew the abilities he possessed. He was able to cast a spell because he already had information about that spell, it was just a matter of knowing if his knowledge was real or not, and it turned out that it was.
'It's all because of this eye' Theos said, running his hand over his left eye. He pressed his fingers around the eye and his smile widened even more. "It is one of the keys to my power."
The shape of the petals became more visible by the second, once transparent, now they looked like petals made entirely of crimson energy and quite bright.
"So tell me… Who is the real leader of the whole attack?" he asked; he already had a theory; the novel never mentioned who sent the sect to attack the gathering of nobles, but he had a theory.
"It was… The Church," the hooded man said suddenly, his body shaking uncontrollably in Theos' hands.
A stream of blood spurted from his mouth, showing no signs of stopping for a while, staining the hand Theos was holding.
"I didn't even let you die," Theos declared with cold eyes, and clenching his fist, he broke the hooded man's neck completely with a "trace," causing his body to fall to the ground instantly.
It was no longer of any use to him. He had already heard the information, and besides, the convulsion did not seem to be of natural causes.
Even though his neck was broken, the blood flowing from his mouth didn't seem to stop anytime soon, so Theos raised his sword and cut off the hooded man's head, separating it from his body.
As he did so, he felt his strength increase from the kill. He didn't think much of it, he had already felt himself getting stronger with every death, and this time was no different.
'I can control this weapon much better now, even its strong killing intent, which is so terrifying that it can make a human faint if it gets too close' he said as he placed his new weapon in a storage ring. Then he looked at Luna, who was also staring at him with surprised eyes.
"I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you to get out of here," he said wearily, feeling like he was going to lose consciousness at any moment. Even his left eye began to bleed, possibly as a result of using it too much or not using it correctly. Maybe it was both.
"Wait! But the Church… This kindly church of this kingdom? Besides, how does your way work? How did you get them to talk so easily after they refused so forcefully?" Luna asked such questions because of her incredible curiosity.
But to her misfortune, he was slowly walking away and didn't even pay attention to her words.
"I promise to call you soon; I'll answer all your doubts, but for now, let me rest…" he sighed and closed the door behind him to go upstairs.
Luna stood there, all her questions unanswered, and slowly a pout formed on her face. "Hmph," she huffed and turned to leave.
Instead, when Theos entered his room, he saw Alice still sleeping peacefully in his bed. Seeing her sleeping made him think about how extremely cute and cuddly she looked, but Theos couldn't be distracted right now.
"I just have a few things to do before I rest," being a perfectionist, Theos couldn't leave anything half-done, so he grabbed his cell phone and called one of his bodyguards.
"Mr. Thomas, isn't it?" he asked impatiently.
"Yes, yes, The Fallen, it's me, Thomas," said the person on the other end of the phone, Thomas, nervously as he noticed the impatience in Theos' voice.
Is he angry? Dissatisfied? Disappointed? Many questions went through his mind, but one thing was certain: he was afraid; he had always seen Theos as cold and indifferent… He had never seen him angry.
He started to break out in a cold sweat.
"Don't worry; I just want you to take care of the body I left at the palace entrance, clean up the entrance, and get back to your work," he ordered quickly, about to hang up the phone.
"Wait!" Thomas shouted from the other end, making Theo frown.
"What?" he asked, this time annoyed.
"I'm sorry, The Fallen, but this is a direct order from your father! He has informed me that your fiancée, Eleanor, is on the verge of collapse from the near loss of her father in today's invasion," he said in a slightly sad tone.
How can you not feel sad? A poor young woman almost lost her father from the sheer helplessness of feeling useless. Now she feels worse and worse.
"I see. At least he's alive. Tomorrow, bring him some quality potions in my name… By the way, did you find her mother?" he asked, now relaxing a bit.
"Oh, as you ordered, I'll bring the potions…. As for Eleanor's mother, she was found carefully hidden in one of the rooms, so she's fine…. But I will say no more, we can talk tomorrow. I can feel that you are tired," Thomas said wisely, although he could hear that Theos was more relaxed now. He didn't want to take the risk that he would get upset again.
Theos did not answer because he knew everything he needed to know. He decided to focus on all the problems tomorrow and put the cell phone on the table.
He went into the bathroom of the room and took a refreshing and relaxing bath that soothed all his muscles and cleaned all the dirt: dust, blood, dirt, etc.
He came out of the bathroom in a simple shirt and shorts and flopped down on the bed.
Noticing Alice at his side, Theos smiled and said quietly, "Good night, wives".
Hug Alice? No, he didn't want to wake her.
'Too much has happened today….. Transmigration, traveled to face the most powerful being in the universe and make an exchange. Saw my future wife, went to the first arc of the novel, fought the Death Eater sect, managed to get the Death Fragment, got tens of thousands of negative energy, used my path for the first time, got a very rare system…. A break is not bad, is it?'
He felt he had earned his rest. Theos closed his eyes. And fell asleep immediately.
For him, this had been an unforgettable day, a new beginning in his new life.
