"Am—First Veil... This pest jumped on at the last mont; I didn't notice her," Neraxis said, pushing Eris off.
"Who are you calling a pest? You tie up, throw into a dumpster, and then leave hanging from a tree! You—You deserve to die!" she replied, raising her bow.
But before she could do anything, Amara's stern voice rang out, freezing both of them in place.
"Enough, Fifth Veil, who is she?"
"She... Sort of helped with this task, albeit not intentionally," he explained. "The monarchs were being led by an apostle of the Envy Sovereign."
As his words fell, Amara's brows twitched for a short mont.
However, Neraxis caught on to that. "Is there sothing I need to know?"
"Not at the mont." Amara shook her head. "For completing this task, you will receive 1000 points to spend however you wish."
"...I see." Neraxis nodded. "Can I exchange 1000 points for you to tell who the Sovereigns are?"
"No. That is high-level information; you are still over 99,000 points short," she denied, before turning to Eris. "As for you, what do I do with you? I can't send you back since you're marked now..."
Marked? That word caught Neraxis's interest as she continued speaking.
"Do you have family back in that world? Anything?"
"No ma'am," Eris replied respectfully. "The only thing I had was my backpack, which this prick tore."
"I'll reimburse you for the backpack and give you a residence to stay in for now until I figure out what to do with you. Does that work for you?" Amara asked in a kind tone, puzzling Neraxis.
She asked to kill all those people, and now she's offering soone a place to stay? he thought with disbelief.
Eris tilted her head. "Why can't you send back?"
"You were marked by the people you fought. If I send you back now, you'll beco a test subject," Amara explained. "So what will it be, girl? Do you want to beco a test subject, or live a carefree life in the Fifth Veil's world?"
"Fifth Veil? You an Neraxis?" Eris asked, her expression turning sour. "I don't mind living there as long as it ans I won't get dissected. But can you arrange for to live further away from him? I don't want to accidentally kill him."
Amara chuckled. "Let's talk a bit more, shall we?" She turned to Neraxis. "Mission complete, Fifth Veil. You may go back now."
Before he could protest, she swung her sword down, imdiately sending him back in front of his own house.
However, one good look at the sky, and he could tell it was a bit late.
Despite his exhaustion, he went inside his ho, swiftly heading up to his room to wash off all the blood before heading out again.
As much as he hated being left in the dark, Amara was a mystery he did not even know how to begin solving; therefore, he put it behind him for now.
He ssaged Celina.
After a few minutes, he received a thumbs-up, followed by: E}]

Neraxis stared at it with satisfaction.
It had not been a long ti since he started using the sword, and yet, his progress was extrely fast.
But it would only grow faster from here.
He turned to Celina, who was lying on the ground, her chest rising and falling rapidly.
"More?" Neraxis offered with a teasing smile, and she replied with a competitive look.
"Of course."
