Chapter 113: Sigil?

The exclamation that Nero made caught Luis and Xagrien off-guard, especially Luis who hasn’t conversed with the Tree of Life’s spirit since he was far too busy these days. His everyday life was so packed and tireso that he didn’t even have the energy to flirt with his boyfriend. How unfortunate is that?

’Sigil...’ the moon elf lord uttered in his mind, trying to see if there was any information available in the Inheritance. However, just like what he expected, there are no hits that may serve as a clue.

Zero. Nothing. The moon elves are seriously isolated in this corner of Immortal’s Glade! Does anyone in the world (except their aggressor) know about their existence?

Luis could feel a strong need to broaden at least their influence.

"What is Sigil?" Luis asked straightforwardly.

Nero was still out of it and every few seconds his eyes would stray back to the symbol on Luis’ forehead. Wonder, fascination and uncertainty. These three were pretty much the expressions that are reflected in his dog eyes.

Xagrien looked a little displeased. "The moon elf lord asked you a question."

Nero was forcibly snapped out of his reverie and he asked for forgiveness.

"This... I’m not sure if I am right in calling the symbol Sigil," the dog blurted out.

It is apparent that this fellow is skeptical. But Luis is not stupid to let go of this opportunity to listen to fresh information from Nero. This is soone who lived and traveled beyond the woodland of the Immortal’s Glade so he is confident that the information that Nero had is wide.

This is one of the factors that made him decisive in accepting Nero. Didn’t he say that he will milk this friend every benefit available? This is it and this is just the start.

"That is okay. So what is Sigil?" The moon elf lord pressed on, obviously that he will not let this matter go if his question remained unanswered.

Nero was silent for a while, upon seeing the adamant attitude of the moon elf lord, he finally spoke and explained with his very limited knowledge about this extraordinary symbol.

"I don’t know much about this matter. But I heard that Sigils are legendary symbols that grant the possessor absolute autonomy over certain Archaic Powers that existed before the creation of the two energies that we know of naly, the mana and nature’s energy."

"Archaic Powers?" Xagrien asked, his gaze was unfathomable as he looked at Luis’ forehead.

"It pertains to forces that existed from the very beginning of the world," Luis explained based on what he learned from the Inheritance and then he enurated each of them one by one. "Ti, Spatial, Life, Death, Light and Darkness."

The moon elf lord rubbed his chin and he imrsed himself in his thoughts. It was weird that information about Archaic Power is present and yet the Sigil, a topic that is directly related to these old powers, is not included. Sothing about it is off, that is what Luis’ instincts screaming at him.

"It ans that the moon elf lord is even more powerful now, right?" Nereen hugged the moon elf lord tightly and then jumped on the bed where Nero, the golden husky was sitting. "Isn’t that a good thing? Why do you look scared?"

Due to spending years living symbiotically, the child has a more solid understanding of Nero.

"Because if the moon elf lord indeed possesses the Sigil, then not just Lord-" Nero buckled while saying his forr master’s na. He then proceeded with complicated emotions painted on his face.

The words that followed served as a bomb for Xagrien and a trigger to work harder for Luis. The innocent Nereen on the other hand, dozed at the bed, totally asleep so he didn’t get to hear Nero’s words.

"All of the Lords living in this huge continent will co after you, my lord."

Night ti. In the Adriha Clan’s territory.

The weird grunts are heard in the lush forestry around the vicinity. Every few ters, on the top of the tree, several moon elves are seen sitting in a lotus position. Their entire bodies are red and glistening with sweat.

The bright moonlight illuminates the pained expression on their faces.

Luis is hovering in the air, watching his diligent subjects as they persistently practiced the Moonlight Circulation Training Technique that he provided them and it’s not like it’s without any rits.

’It’s crazy how these guys have improved their elental powers in just five days,’ Luis is clear about this since he has been observing them for the past two days.

There is a huge leap to everyone, both on their elental power strength and control.

’The clans who’re coming back tomorrow will surely be envious of these persistent fellows.’ Luis smiled a little. Well, that is bound to happen anyway.

How is that impossible when almost every mont of the day, they are either busy procuring the materials or they are training their combat skills.

’And the ringleader of these hardworking subjects was my very own man.’ Luis sighed.

Two days have passed since their last conversation with Nero and Xagrien was out training excessively hard for two days.

Combat training and elental power training. Xagrien vigorously juggled these two like he was running out of ti. Of course, Luis knows the reason behind this behaviour and that is why he has mixed feelings about all this; he’s both touched and at the sa ti, frustrated because their ti together is almost zero!

Not that far from where Luis was flying, Xagrien was sitting in a lotus position on the top of a huge and sturdy tree. His upper body was free of any clothes and his tempting and sweat-drenched, brown skin was glimring under the silver rays of the moonlight.

Unlike the others, Xagrien appears to be more at ease in carving the passageway on his plate. No grunts or contorted faces.

Aside from the slight blush on his body, Luis could hardly point out any signs of discomfort from this male. Xagrien was that gifted.

Luis was silently watching this godly man, when his eyelashes suddenly fluttered, revealing Xagrien’s purple orbs.

"What is it, Luis?" Xagrien asked in a very familiar tone, as though he is completely accustod to calling the moon elf lord in that na.

"You are pushing yourself too much. Nero said that Sigil is obtained from sacred burials scattered all over the world and you know for a fact that this symbol appeared after I received the blessings from the Moon Goddess. I am safe since this is not a Sigil" Luis said the concern that’s been weighing on his mind.

Xagrien gave a penetrating stare at Luis and he asked. "Do you think so?"

Luis was caught off guard for a while. Does he think that the symbol on his forehead is not a Sigil? No. That is his answer if he were to think of the curious case of Baku, the gigantic Bakunawa that he made from wood.

Even Nero is not sure about the origin of the Sigil since this information was kept secret by that damned Lord Isami. The golden mutt was so vocal that he only heard it from rumors.

Therefore, it is best for Luis to assu the worst. The Moon Goddess gave him a ticking ti bomb. F*ck.

Does he believe that he will be safe if this is not a Sigil? The answer is no.

He knew how dangerous it is to stand out. Envy and jealousy are the most efficient catalyst for cooking up a disaster and others’ madness is a hidden dagger that may strike at him at any ti.

Because of his experiences in his past life, he is clear about the hardships that he will be facing from now on.

"Then do you think I’m weak?" Luis asked after his extended silence.

Xagrien didn’t waste a second and answered no. Such a thought never crossed his mind. He admired Luis’ strength. "I like that you are powerful, Luis. But you rember that we are partners now. I want to help you clear hard quests that will appear in the future and I want to fight with you side by side."

"I desire to see you fighting in your full strength just like the stories that you are telling ." Xagrien stood up and directly looked at Luis. "I want to be closer to you in strength, my moon elf lord. That is what I require for myself before I beco your mate."

Sh*t. Luis could feel his heart sorsaulting. He just asked him a yes-no question and yet, this male god gave him a heart-fluttering declaration of love.

Slowly but surely, Luis felt himself sliding into the ride called love and this man is making it way too smooth for him.

"What a natural playboy," Luis said to Xagrien’s face.

The moon elf lord flew in front of his tall lover. His dark green eyes contain challenge that he is directly throwing at the male god.

Under the bright light of the moon, Luis smirked at Xagrien. Since his man laid his aspirations bare in front of him, why not answer him the ambitions that he has for his subjects?

"If you really want to stand beside , are you willing to father an entire new nation?" The moon elf lord asked, exposing his vision to the only person that he is falling for.
