Within seconds Nix fell unconscious. He was actually holding on to his consciousness by enduring the ntal and physical pressure he went through.
Since Camila was already awake he decided to let his body rest. He left Camila to take responsibility for Daisy.
"What happened?" Reegan muttered waking up unable to comprehend what just happened.
"We were attacked by thieves," Camila said in a cold tone.
"Hah, I fucking missed it!"
Reegan said with regret.
"What did you miss?"
She asked with a plain expression.
"The fight."
"Where did Nix find this crazy guy."
She mumbled.
"What did you say?" Reegan asked doubtfully.
She imdiately turned her head left and right.
"Huh? It's nothing... I said Nix went unconscious after the fight."
"Oh! I see... So, what do we do with these dead bodies?" He asked gazing at the dead.
"Dispose the bodies after looting their equipnt."
She said and began to remove the armors and weapons they possessed.
Followed by Reegan everyone began to wake one by one.
In the morning Nix woke up squinting his eyes. Imdiately rising from his bed, he washed his face and descended the stairs finding the room that was still in a ss. There were a few broken windows that needed to fix and few broken pieces of furniture beyond resurrection.
The clan mbers were having their breakfast sitting on the floor.
"Camila where did you lock that woman?"
"In the basent. Are you alright now?"
"Yeah, I am fine, just feeling a bit sore."
He said and decided to first find the woman to talk with her.
Inhaling the darkly pungent air that was mixed with a faint foul odor, he walked into the room of darkness that barely had a few lamps that were giving out a small brightness. The woman was tied with the chain and made to lean on the wall.
"Miss Daisy Did you have enough sleep? Your face looks quite dull."
"Well, After going through such a wonderful nightI am compelled to awake"
She said with a smirk.
Nix's eyes unintentionally eyed on Daisy's bosom for a second and drifted back to her face making Daisy smile evilly. How can he even control as a man he couldn't help but look at her fine milkers that were defenseless. As her clothes were torn.
"Haha, So desperate to control yourself aren't you? "
She said teasingly and squeezed her tits.
"Wanna suck 'em?"
"With all due respect. I am not here for doing that shit."
"Oh, so you are a noble saint? When a woman is voluntarily offering her body you won't take it?" She said poutingly.
Nix smiled at her and began talking.
"A prostitute is a woman who tries to live by selling her body. I an they have feelings and shit too they do that to survive. But, you are manipulative as fuck. I can't disagree that you are seductive but. I won't touch you and I am not interested in you. I am just here to ask you if you'd help out. No questions asked. Just yes or No?"
He said placing his cigar on his mouth and after lighting it he looked at her eyes and continued.
"I am letting you leave. If you stay here I'll be providing you enough for your alchemy experints. All I want back is your talent. Work with . That is if you want to."
Hearing his words she quietly stared at Nix for a few seconds and then began talking with a serious expression on her face.
"Fine, I'll join you. It's not like I have any place to go and ganging up is hard "
She giggled and said.
"Hehe, Should I call you Lord from now on? Heard you have a lord-type system."
"Yeah, It's Nix. Call however you want Miss daisy." He said with a smile and removed her chain.
"Do you think I am a whore?" She asked with a sad face staring at Nix whose face was devoid of emotion.
He just gave her a blank stare and began talking with a face devoid of emotion.
"Miss Daisy, I just gave you an example and I don't believe you are a whore cuz you tried to kill using seduction. I'd say you used what you could use."
Daisy smirked at him and said.
"You are quite good at making won attracted to you, aren't you?"
"I don't think so." He said nonchalantly.
"I wonder how ca to trust ... I an, I tried to steal you and threatened to kill you and even killed one of your clan mbers and you are still asking to join? You are quite an unpredictable guy."
"Well, Let ask this. Why did you beco an outlaw?"
"Because of so circumstances..."
"That says it all. I am just giving you a chance that's it. Now, co with ."
She just smiled at him and followed out of the basent where his clan mbers were.
"Alright everybody this is Daisy. Our new clan mber."
He said and made the others go dumbstruck. It seems no one was ready to accept her as a mber.
"I decline this! She just tried to steal and kill us and you are taking her in!"
Camila said poutingly.
"Tarok agrees too!"
Tarok said with an angry face.
'Who the hell is this guy? He just fucking joined yesterday.'
He smiled at the thought and began speaking.
"Are there any other objections? Even if there are, I am not gonna give a shit. We lost a mber yesterday and gained one today. That's the end of the discussion."
He said strongly.
Daisy just stared at him for a few seconds standing behind him and drifted her eyes towards the mbers who looked at her with hostility.
"You don't have to go through such trouble. It's fine I'll leave."
She muttered towards Nix and turned towards the door.
Nix just sighed and grabbed her hand, staring at her deep brown eyes.
"Hah, Where are you going? I need you."
"Pardon?" She just blinked a few tis.
"I an...I need you for making the sublimity gas." Nix said, scratching his head.
"Fufu, sure..."
"Aizen, co here man."
Nix called out for the alchemist he hired.
"Yes, lord Nix?"
"This is Daisy, a level 5 Alchemist. Quite the talented peer in your field. From today on you'll have to assist her." He said ignoring the fiery gazes.
"As you say, Lord Nix," Aizen said.
"Why are you all looking at like that? If you have issues, talk." Nix frowned at them.
"Oi, Do you even need permission for this? You are the lord of this clan just do what you feel right," Cinzia frowned at him.
Nix just smiled at her and said.
"As you said, commander Cinzia."
With that, the commotion was solved. Both the commander and the lord have accepted the new mber and what more did they even need?
The group dissolved up and Nix sat in the path of the staircase and unsheathed his dagger.
"Astaroth..."
Nix mumbled.
According to the mission he needed to kill thousands of souls but he just killed so of them. Perhaps he was also attacked by sublimity gas?
After a few seconds, a reply from Astaroth entered his ears.
{Yes?}
"Why didn't you answer yesterday?" He asked
{I was forced to sleep by so external force.}
"I see, Do you know anything about sublimity material?"
{Sublimity materials are indeed divine materials that are even rarely found in Ether and Underworld. Was that force connected to Sublimity material?}
"Yes, I think so... I forgot to ask sothing. How did you reveal yourself?"
{You have killed almost more than fifty people until that was enough to let be awake for a few minutes where I converse with you and I am still weak. You have to kill more people for to actually get fully awakened.}
"Do you know anything about the path to enlightennt?"
{Are you perhaps pursuing a path?} Astaroth asked in a surprised tone.
"How can I do that."
{Just when I thought you've finally begun training! Paths of enlightennt are extrely hard. So might get enlightened in a year while one could take hundreds of years. So might attain it during battle or hardships. It varies from person to person according to the field or path they choose.}
"I see."
{So which path are you interested in taking? The way of the sword? Hand to hand combat? Spearsmanship? or Sothing entirely different from all these?} Astaroth asked with interest.
"I don't know... What path am I taking? It's sothing I have not decided yet." He said scratching his cheek.
{Hmm, it is better if you go through diverse things and choose what's the best for you.}
"How to find my attribute. I've been using the fire attributes of the fla and Dark attribute of yours. How can I find mine."
{That is sothing that awakens from oneself. You can force it but, That'll be dangerous to your life. For all these things you'd need to first explore your potential. For that you'll need a diverse life of death situation.}
"So you are saying I should explore a labyrinth as soon as possible?"
{Indeed}
