"How about I tell you what happened?" I speak as I erge from the shadows and walk towards them. Nyx's expression turns really fearful while Zuriel looks at with a slightly serious expression.
"Let's go in," I spoke as I moved inside Zuriel's house, under the silent gazes of the three. Dion was the first one to co after , followed by Zuriel who dragged Nyx in. Nyx still wasn't in her right mind and it kind of confused , to be honest…
'I didn't intimidate her to this extent, did I?' I thought, almost reaching the living room.
The room had a cozy atmosphere, with black and white authentic wall design, with a matching black sofa placed in the middle. There were three dual blades displayed on the wall, with each being excellent in one aspect of their own. There were so fruits on the corner table and I moved towards it as I took an apple out of the basket and then sat on the sofa while eating it.
Dion simply walked towards and sat in my lap without speaking anything. I then saw Zuriel bringing Nyx into the room, making her sit at a distance in front of , while she herself sat beside her.
"Do you need sothing to drink first?" Zuriel asked Nyx, at which Nyx shook her head, denying it before looking at and then turning her head to Zuriel.
Zuriel then gives out a deep sigh before looking at and then glaring a little as she inquires,"what did you do to her?"
"Nothing in particular. They barged in suddenly and demanded I tell them about what I did… threatening won't work on and that is sothing she should have known from the beginning," I answer calmly and Zuriel then turns at Nyx which made Nyx look away from her before speaking quietly,"my guards did not know about him being… strong. So they…"
Zuriel then kind of understood everything as she spoke,"this has to do with the blast that happened a few minutes ago, doesn't it?" and this made both of us nod in affirmation.
"So what exactly was that? Is it too secretive to tell?" Zuriel asked, looking genuinely in my eyes and I then pondered over it for a few monts before I spoke out,"Not exactly. I can tell you about it, Zuriel, but honestly, anyone with whom I haven't spent much ti, I don't think I can tell them. Even if it is soone close to you, Zuriel."
Zuriel looks at for a few monts before giving out another long sigh. I think I might be mistaken, but I saw a montary smile on Zuriel's lips before it vanished. Zuriel then turned to Nyx before speaking.
"Is that all there is?"
Nyx then shook her head before speaking,"that is not all… not at all… This guy… those guards were High Guardians and this guy just ordered one of them using so spell, making him kneel effortlessly as if that guard was his most loyal subject… Just what… what are you?"
This statent made Zuriel and Dion dart towards with a confounded look as they observed , as if I was the most peculiar thing they had ever seen. Though…
"That was Charm Magic… don't you have anything similar here?" I spoke without really hiding anything. Not like they would know that I can use charm magic of that level only in the absence of those mana parasites.
"What Charm Magic?" asks Zuriel with a confused expression and I look at both of them, observing with a strange gaze. At this mont, my mind went into full thinking mode as I tried to connect the dots and not even a mont later I actually found the mistake I made here.
"Have you ever made people forget what they had seen or heard?" I asked, and Nyx was the first one to nod before speaking,"Yeah. I have a few sets of magic that could make people forget what they had seen, but it only covers the last hour or so, nothing more."
I nod at it before speaking,"well that forgetting magic, cos under the category of Charm Magic. It will not only make you forget what you know, but also can be used to control anything mind related. If used appropriately and strongly, it can actually make you believe things that didn't even happen."
Nyx and Zuriel looked at with an alard expression before Zuriel asked,"and such magic… doest it exist?" at which I make a puzzled expression before asking,"what are you talking about? Don't you see in front of you who is an expert in Charm Magic….wait!"
'If Charm Magic is sothing that does not exist in this world… Then what did Ariel understand when I told her my theory?... I hope it's not sothing troubling,' I thought, a little embarrassed at it as I covered my face with my palms.
Zuriel and Nyx looked at , wondering what I was doing and I just shook my head before speaking,"It's nothing. I was just saying that I am a Charm Magic expert and, yes, I believe people who can use Charm Magic do exist in this world other than ."
Now that I know what was going on, I think I understood what Nyx was going through. I could literally turn the whole empire against her using this magic and she can't do shit about it… no wonder she was scared shitless…
Now I kinda feel bad for her. Zuriel did tell all the things Nyx had done to bring together people for the resistance she had built in order to achieve her goal. It wouldn't really be amusing if soone like cos and destroys everything she worked so hard to build here.
Though it's ironic that those parasites stop people from extending magic from one person to another. No wonder Charm Magic is a rarity here. I guess I should keep myself more reserved with how much I use my powers.
"I guess… I can understand what went wrong there," I spoke up and Zuriel looked at with a slight pondering expression as she asked,"you do?" and I nod at it.
"I can make you both forget about what happened today and also the other people who were there… no, in fact, make everyone who saw what happened forg…." I turned silent as I looked at their horrified faces and I sighed before speaking.
"Then what do you want to do? Do you have any better plans?"
This made Zuriel look firmly in my eyes as she asked,"Zero… answer honestly. Have you ever used Charm Magic on ?"
At her question, I started recalling everything that had happened from the beginning. After recalling each and everything in detail, I smiled sheepishly at her before speaking,"I forgot."
She glared at and I just chuckled before speaking,"I really, really did forget though. Though, I doubt I might have done that… unless it is very necessary, to be honest."
She looks at with doubtful eyes before sighing and shaking her head and finally speaking,
"Zero… What are you? Exactly what the f*ck are you? What are you trying to do here… are you even our friend…?"
And I make a confused expression again as I speak,"friend? No, I don't think so… but maybe we are close acquaintances… isn't that enough? Also, I haven't forgotten the deal between us, so you should trust that at least."
She looks at before sighing and then speaking,"I don't know Zero… I don't think I can trust you after knowing what you are… capable of. It's too hard… "
She looked extrely tired… as if she wanted to believe in , but no matter how she saw this… she couldn't compel herself to believe in .
'Well… I guess I can understand what she is going through. The first ti Lucia… She told about her Charm Magic and how she used it on … kind of made tear apart from the inside. I couldn't believe any word she spoke from that point onwards, even to the point that it made doubt everything that I had ever done. Wondering if it was doing it of my own volition or was it just Charm Magic after all.
I then looked at them for a few monts before sighing and then speaking,"Blood Magic: Charm of Tomorrow," and then both of them fell asleep in a few monts. I then turned to Dion and spoke,"Let's take them to bed. It is better this way," and he nodded at without making any sound.
While it was easy to charm Zuriel, charming Nyx took a huge amount of my mana at once. I almost fell down but still got back up in no ti. The fact Nyx was shaken actually helped easily charm her.
With the help of Dion, I helped them to their bed. By tomorrow, their mories will be replaced with sothing sweeter. I then went off to find the others who saw using Charm Magic… of course, that includes Ariel too.
