"Nux… W-What is this light?"
"Light…?"
Hearing Allura's question, Nux frowned in confusion, he moved his tired body and then glanced around,
There, he noticed that he was surrounded by a purplish fog…
"What is this…?"
He questioned with a confused look on his face.
"…"
However, he didn't receive any answer.
"Allura?"
Nux turned around and then noticed that Allura had passed out. The purple fog completely surrounded her body. In worry, Nux rushed towards Allura, however, before he could touch her,
A strange magic circle formed on top of Allura's body.
This magic circle seemed different from the Magic Circle he created while casting spells.
If Nux had to compare, it was more similar to that teleportation Magic Circle that he saw in the Vampire Continent, of course, this was a lot smaller compared to that one, however, Nux could feel that the energy around this circle was a lot denser.
Of course, Nux didn't have the time to sit around and compare the energies. He had to do something.
'What's happening?'
Suddenly, the Magic CIrlce formed on top of Allura started shining.
Unlike normal Magic Circle, it wasn't sucking any Mana from its surrounding, it was as if… it had its own energy.
Then suddenly, a red drop rose up from Allura's chest, before Nux could react, the drop shot towards him.
Another similar magic circle appeared in front of Nux and the red drop moved inside his body.
Everything happened so fast that even Nux, who was a Complete Emperor Stage Cultivator, failed to react, and when he finally realized what happened and wanted to do something about it,
"AAAAAGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
Nux screamed in agony.
He clenched his teeth as waves of intense pain coursed through every inch of his body. It felt as if a relentless storm of agony had engulfed him, not even allowing him to move or even breathe. His every nerve screamed in protest, amplifying his suffering to an unbearable level. His muscles quivered with tension, as if they were being twisted and tormented by invisible forces.
The pain seemed to have no origin or discernible cause, spreading like a wildfire without mercy. His bones, his tendons, his muscles, Nux felt pain at all levels. His body fell on the ground as he withered in pain.
Nux tried to control his breathing or get used to the pain, however, the intensity of the pain was just too strong, it was as if all his bones were being broken and regenerating again and again and again.
Nux used all his remaining strength to glance at Allura, seeing the Magic Circle that had formed on top of her body had disappeared, Nux sighed in relief, then, he passed out.
…
An unknown amount of time passed by, and Allura, who had finally woken up looked around with a frown on her face.
This place she was in. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
This was her first time being here, this red sky, waterfall, clouds, the big mansion,
She had to admit, this place was beautiful,
However, soon, memories of what happened before she passed out appeared in her mind, that purple light that suddenly shot towards her, Nux who was right next to her,
"Nux!"
Suddenly, Allura called out.
She couldn't feel Nux's presence.
She tried using the telepathy link, but just like before, she couldn't contact anyone.
Suddenly, Allura's eyes fell on something that was placed beside her.
'Was it here before?'
She wondered as she glanced at the 3-meter tall Purple White Egg.
'No way, there is no way I can miss something like this.'
Allura was sure, she didn't see this here before.
'Wait, I don't have time to waste on some stupid egg, I need to find Nux.'
She was in this new place that seemed to be isolated from the outside world, she cannot contact anyone, nor could she find anyone here,
It was unusual how she passed out as well, not to mention she cannot find Nux anywhere.
Allura was worried, any sane person would be.
She couldn't care less about an Egg right now.
Thinking all this, Allura turned around, activated her [Sense] and started walking, trying to search for Nux,
But then suddenly,
*Crack*
She heard a crack.
Allura turned around.
She knew where this sound came from,
'Is… it going to hatch? An Egg this big…?'
Allura wondered in her head.
*Crack*
The Egg's crack widened and a few more minor cracks appeared.
Allura, who was now sensitive to Mana realized it pretty quickly, the Shell of this Egg… it was not made of a Material… It was solidified Mana.
It was Allura's first time seeing Mana in a Solid, Visible Form, however, she was sure about it, this was definitely Mana.
'What kind of beast would come out of it…?'
*Crack*
While Allura was wondering all of this in her head, a human hand came out of the Egg.
'A hand…?'
Allura frowned.
Soon, another hand came out, the two hands moved quickly, breaking everything apart, then once the hole was strong enough, the rest of the body came out.
It was a humanoid figure, however, on its head, there were 2 purple-colored horns, its ears weren't as long as Allura, but they were definitely longer than normal humans, it was around 1.9 meters tall, and had a muscular build.
Another few seconds later, the figure finally came out of the Egg Shell, and Allura finally glanced at the man standing in front of her, her eyes widened in surprise,
"Nux!?"
She called out in shock.
His height, his body structure, and even his facial features, all of that might be a little different from before, however, there is no way Allura would mistake him. That divinely handsome face that stole her heart the first time she met her, those playful eyes that made her heart flutter, Allura could never mistake it.
He was Nux.
"Nux! What happened to you!?"
Allura quickly rushed towards Nux, cupped his face, and questioned.
Nux glanced at Allura, he then gently held Allura's hand and with his signature smile on his face, he looked into Allura's eyes,
"Why don't we go for another round, my love?
I am not satisfied with how the last one ended."
He spoke as his purple eyes shined and this time,
*Gulp*
The one who gulped was Allura.
