'Ahem, System, why are my balls itchy?'
[ Must be a skin infection ]
'....I will just bathe again afterwards.' Now focusing on the matter at hand, given I had already given the threat and an open invitation to Ytrisia for her arrival at the legacy of the Puppet Master, which existed at the border of the Azure Fla Kingdom, my work here was done.
"What are you trying to do? Can she hear us?" Mialthara seed curious, looking towards with a finger on her lips, as if a child finding sothing interesting and wanting to know everything about it while not making forget that children have a habit of throwing away things they lose interest in.
"Yes, but just for the last 24 hours, and it has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business." I firmly stated, given there was slight annoyance due to leaving a bad impression on Ytrisia because of Mialthara killing this woman. Definitely, Ytrisia was different from Olea and Aleriana, making this typical approach sothing that would align more with her personality.
Hiding my irritation, I looked at the twitching mouth of Mialthara, which I ignored, considering she could not do anything except for hearing my taunts. She had already decided to support in exchange for that forbidden technique, which I could not give her until we ascended to the upper realm.
So, I lied to her while having clear intentions to make use of her to the fullest as my bodyguard.
"Mmmh, h-hungry..."
'!'
Suddenly ca a voice, womanly but very low, as I felt a small tug near my elbow. Turning, I saw a black skeleton covered in white tattered cloth looking at with hollow eye sockets emitting black energy.
'Is this poisonous gas?' As I inhaled that smoke, it seed to bring back nostalgia, given it slled just like a cigarette, making doubt if it was poisonous but nostalgic enough for .
[ No, it's just an undead fog, deadly for mortals ]
'Oh, I see....warn of such things in advance, dumbass.' As I heard two contradictory words from the system, I closed my eyes with a forced smile as I looked towards the skeleton, hearing those words yet not running away from her, just standing while thinking only if I had a strong and smart system.
"It surprises every ti to see you still standing even after being exposed to undead corrupting energy," Mialthara's words seed to scream that they did not want to mind their own business but rather wanted to poke into my affairs. Accepting her words, I gave an explanation so that she would better understand .
"I am resistant to undead energy, just so you know," I added, recalling how when I married the reaper now lying flat on my head, sleeping, I received four particular things.
One was for my dinsion to have immunity against void or dinsional switch, and the second one was for to be resistant to death-related abilities.
'Now that I recall, why didn't I get any ability perks from Aleriana?' I rembered how, unlike that cringeworthy marriage with this idiot lying over my head where strings ca out of our hearts and then I awakened so kind of sparks, there were no such gifts in the case of Aleriana. Rather, it was a simple marriage, similar for Olea, as if they both were worthless compared to this worthless figure lying on my head.
Of course, I was expecting the system to just say that the highest privilege gives her the highest perks.
[ You are shit, Host; you can't even manifest a speck of Qi, making both the powers you got from your other two wives dormant and useless. ]
'Y-you punk, did you just look down on your master?!' I felt my nerves bulging on my forehead, my fists tightening as I heard such a rough tone from the system mocking in a way that was very frustrating.
Maybe I was even more annoyed because this was the truth.
[ Pthuu~ You yell at but you don't know how useless your body is?! I try my best to compensate every ti, but in the absence of Qi, you cannot even use the artifacts you possess! ]
'.....' Hearing the system's voice, which appeared as though it was clearly frustrated for no reason, I narrowed my eyes considering that until now, the system had shown its characteristics; I could not accept it to be this responsible for shouting at to remind of sothing while appearing as if it had been mature until now, prompting to inquire, 'What are you hiding from , fucker?'
[?! ]
[ H-how do you know?! ]
'You just accepted it now,' finally showing its true IQ as I heard the system finally shift its tone, making realize that the earlier statent was just a distraction from sothing it had ssed up.
[...I did?]
Sowhat I was already aware of what it was particularly talking about, considering I was aware of it beforehand, prompting to just add, not to stretch this idiotic conversation.
'If it's a default setting for emotional synchronization, then I intentionally left it turned off for both Aleriana and Olea.' Knowing well how there was a feature that I could feel the emotions or feelings of my wives, as found when I married Valeriano for the first ti.
But at that mont, the vividness of those emotions as if they were my own was too overwhelming that I needed to turn it off and leave the future ones turned off as the system did not seem to notify about it either.
The vivacity of feelings was too intense that if I had used it last night, I may have already surrendered even before the start, considering I would have felt twice the emotions of our combined feelings, leading to the pleasure that would have lted before I could even be with Aleriana.
Even in Olea's case, her feelings were too confused and ssed up due to her revenge for her parents. There was a struggle in her mind to either align with or not, making also avoid touching her emotional synchronization.
Forget the idiot reaper seated on my head.
[ What?! You should have told earlier, Host, haha, I wouldn't have acted that way. ]
'That way? Fucker, aren't you a system? Shouldn't you already be aware of yourself?' Realizing how frustrating it was to talk with a low-IQ system, I focused my gaze towards Mialthara, who stood shockingly looking towards , as if she had found a Pandora's box in the form of , where she was encountering many interesting things that normally a mortal cannot possess.
Undead energy is typically corrupting in nature; considering forget any cultivator lower than the second layer, if a mortal even breathes in the sa air, their body would start to corrode and even beco infected too, like those zombies in the movies.
"It's quite amusing—!" Mialthara was about to speak further, but suddenly her voice was cut short as I saw a black smog with athyst blade-like light streaks arriving on the balcony and hurling directly towards her before
CLANK!
The tallic sound resonated as my eyes widened, looking in front where I saw the silhouette that had arrived within the room was none other than Olea, standing with her blade being stopped by long nails coming out of Mialthara, as both of their gazes intensely glared at each other.
Before Olea's voice, sharp and cold, called out to Mialthara.
"Do you even know what you did, Mialthara!"
