Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"It's nothing, let's continue."

Argon gestured to the group that everything was fine before he started walking.

The raiders in the group looked at each other before they shrugged and followed behind Argon.

They were already too deep in the forest, so they decided to just follow wherever Argon was going, even if it was a creepy forest with a deathly chill atmosphere.

Argon was walking ahead looked at Aurora and finally answered her.

"Yes."

Argon replied as he looked at Aurora with a determined expression.

Aurora's expression finally changed from a poker face.

Right now, her brows frowned as she looked at Argon.

"Then I have the right to know whatever you are planning."

Argon started at Aurora for a while before he sighed.

"I'm going to get myself to reach EX-rank," Argon murmured.

"What does it have to do with me?" Aurora asked.

"Well, our ranks increase together, so you will be an EX-ranked as well."

Argon replied to Aurora's question.

"I know, but is that all?" Aurora asked again.

She was happy about the increase in power but she didn't want to change the topic so she pressed on.

"….. I will get you a new body as well," Argon spoke after a pause and Aurora's eyes widened.

"Really?!" Aurora exclaimed happily.

'I will finally have a body!'

But then she frowned as she looked at Argon who simply replied with a "Yes,".

"Why are you getting me a body so soon?" Aurora asked, she somehow knew what his answer would be, but she wanted to hear him say it.

"Because I want to nullify the contract."

Argon replied as he looked right into Aurora's eyes.

"Why do you want that?" Aurora again knew what the answer would be, but she asked nonetheless.

"Because being bound with someone is annoying, especially when both of the bound parties do not have any kind of connection."

Argon replied and this time, he was speaking out his real feelings.

He didn't like the way Aurora looked at him.

The disgust in her eyes whenever he talked about keeping the love of his life close to himself forever was not hidden from him.

Even the fact that she would advise him about this and that.

"I see…" Aurora nodded her head.

She didn't feel disappointed or anything.

She had expected all this, and not like she liked the contract with Argon.

She would prefer to have her contract with Argon nulled as well.

But there was one last question she had.

"So, you just want to null the contract? Is that what you planned for?"

"Yes," Argon replied with a nod before he turned his head back to the path they were walking.

'The first part of the plan is to nullify the contract, but you never asked me if there was something after that….'

'If you did, then you would've known what I had in store for you….'

Argon laughed inwardly.

Argon was walking on a thin line there.

If Aurora asked, 'What are your plans for me after that?', instead of, 'Is that what you planned for?', then Argon would have no choice but to speak about the next phase of his plan.

If that happened, then Aurora would've known about his plans for her, and things would not have ended peacefully as they did just now.

'I guess it's time for me to think of what I will do from now on….'

Aurora, on the other hand, oblivious to Argon's inner thoughts, was thinking about her future.

What would she do after the contract is nulled?

She didn't ask how Argon was planning to get to EX-rank or how he was going to get her a new body.

She didn't care about those things.

Only the results mattered to her.

With each thinking of things of their own, they continued walking forward in silence, and the group of raiders that Argon had brought with him, followed both of them from behind.

........................…..

Makrum was someone who used to rule a band of Aquathrens.

He didn't rule a kingdom or something, it was just a group of Aquathrens.

He was more like a pirate captain, and his group members were pirates.

But with him as their leader, they never had to fear anything.

Makrum was strong, after all, very strong.

He was strong enough that the kingdoms in the surroundings had to send some of their finest or strongest warriors to catch him.

But in the end, they would return empty-handed.

Makrum was an Aquathren, so he just escaped into the seas if he thought the situation was unfavorable.

He and his group of 100 Aquathrens used to live like that, but one day, he found a strange portal-like thing on an island they were staying on.

Curiosity got the better of him, and he entered the portal along with his whole group.

That marked the first day of them being trapped in this place.

But even after all that, Makrum stayed strong.

Even with the suppression of their powers, Makrum and his group ruled this territory.

Makrum always had an easy life, even after things turned worse and they were trapped in this unknown dimension, he still had it easy.

'Hunt food for me.'

'Come sleep with me.'

'Give me a massage.'

'Bring me food.'

He just needed to order and things would be presented to him.

But then this one day, some human entered his territory.

He didn't know what came over him this time as unlike every time, he didn't order his subordinates to bring those humans for him, and he went there on his own.

Everything was still fine, they saw some humans, and two of them were very good-looking females.

But then, things changed for the first time.

For the first time, Makrum felt dread.

'I will die.'

It was the first time Makrum could feel his death so close.

'He is a devil.'

It was the first time Makrum called someone the devil.

Makrum watched in horror as his subordinates died one by one.

He didn't care for them, never.

But watching them die as they howled in pain was horrifying.

That too when he knew that his turn was coming up as well.

He watched all die one by one until it was the turn of Lupina, the only Aquathren he cared for, even if it was minuscule.

'That bitch!'

He cursed when he saw her begging to become Alex's bitch.

'Fucking bitch!'

He kept cursing her as he heard her words.

She was cursing him for being useless.

'Did she say I was useless in bed?!?!'

'My pee pee is not big enough for her?!?!'

Makrum was fuming.

But he knew that Lupina was going to die, it was no use getting angry at her, so he directed all of his anger on Alex.

'I'm going to die anyway, so fuck it!'

He had been looking at Alex pleadingly.

He didn't want to die after all, but now that it was just two of them left, he knew that it would soon be his turn.

So, he decided to at least not beg for his life anymore.

'He is a devil, he will give me false hope and then destroy it the next second.'

He had seen that happening.

One of his subordinates had to survive more than 10 seconds and just when it looked like he was going to make it.

Alex smashed his foot on the guy's head, killing the guy with a single move.

"Ops, my leg slipped…."

This was his excuse for that.

So, Makrum didn't actually hope for freedom or chance.

He just wanted to shout out everything on his mind.

He just wanted to curse Alex to his heart's content.
