Chapter 20: Lumen
"Excuse me, are you alright?" A worried girl's voice came from the side
"Yes, thank you," said Agios calmly, and began to regain consciousness, then turned to face the girl
Hello, I am Agios, thank you for your interest.
silence ...
"Hello." Agios looked at the girl on the other side
Waist-length blonde hair with very cute facial features beautiful golden eyes staring at him in amazement and she wears a beautiful white dress and next to her flies the thing that is supposed to be Paimon who turned his head to the side in exasperation at his scolding
Agios raised something in astonishment and then waved in front of her eyes, "Hi.. Hey."
"Huh, sorry, excuse me. I've been off for a bit." The girl blushed like a tomato and came to her senses.
"My name is Lumen, a traveler from another world."
"Hmm, well, is it normal for you to tell people that you are traveling from another world?"
"Well.... I don't know, but well, I don't like lying." The girl smiled slightly sweetly and moved her hair behind her ear, creating a very beautiful scene.
"Hm well... I also don't like lying, I'm from another world too" Agios said calmly and then suddenly noticed what he was doing and why the hell would he tell someone he just met such things
[Hormones, right...] Agios finally realized the problem
Lumen's smile increased when she heard this
"What a coincidence." Then she looked at the object beside her and asked curiously, "Paimon, are there many otherworldly travelers in this world?"
"Hmph, Paimon won't speak until he apologizes."
Agios raised his eyebrows slightly, "Well basically you hit me from behind so it's your fault after all you're the one showing me, I want an apology"
Hearing this, Lumen felt it was logical and firmly looked at Paimon
Feeling her gaze, Paimon suddenly felt wronged and turned to face the two of them
"Hey, so handsome." Paimon suddenly exclaimed in a childish voice then
After some time, she added in a low voice, "Handsome, handsome, it's not edible at the end, and it's no use."
Hearing her analysis, both Agios and Lumen felt speechless
"Oh, let go of that flying thing.. Do you know any nearby town? I just arrived."
Lumen looked at Agios for a bit and then smiled, "Yes, there is a town called Mound in that direction. We were heading there anyway. Will you come with us?"
"Okay, good." Agios nodded
..
"Cough, shall we move?" After a few seconds of silence, Agios coughed slightly
"Oh, let's go," Lumen coughed embarrassedly, then moved
Thus they set off on their journey
....
One hour ..
two hours..
three hours ...
Silence surrounded the trio as Lumen was too embarrassed to speak while Agios was in deep thought
"Hey you." Suddenly, the little girl's voice came out
" What ?" Agios looked at Paimon
Paimon flew around Agios a bit, then stood in front of him and put her hands on her waist, "Why are your eyes so strange? They look like those of a dragon."
"This Paimon is too shameless." Lumen scolded, but she looked at Agios curiously as well
"My eyes? It's because I'm already a dragon."
"Oh.... huh?"
"You are a dragon?" Lumen looked at Agius and raised her eyebrows slightly
Agios raised his shoulders slightly indifferently
"By the way, is there still a lot of time?" Agios asked somewhat bored
Lumen looked at him, "Do you have transportation in your world?"
After all, she is used to these trips, and the only time that trips made her bored was after learning about the means of transportation in a world she visited with her brother...
No, but if it takes a lot of time, wouldn't it be faster to fly?
silence
"..can you fly?"
"I am a dragon…."
Lumen's eyes sparkled slightly but before she could speak Agios interrupted her
"Don't even think about that."
Lumen's eyes twitched slightly and then fell silent
"Can't you fly?"
"No…." Lumen was a bit disappointed
Agios smiled slightly and then floated in the air
"What are you doing?" Lumen asked, raising her eyebrows slightly
"Nothing, I just felt like floating was so fun because of that thing over there." Agios looked at Lumen as they were floating and said sarcastically.
The corners of Lumen's mouth twitched slightly… does this add salt to the legendary wound?
On the other hand, Paimon shouted, "Paimon is nothing!"
Agios smiled faintly, "Yes, you are nothing."
"..." "..."
Today Lumen has redefined what it means to be proud of the dragon
(Ageus floated due to a cultivator being able to float after the Sky Profound Realm)
-----------------
After some time the party encounters a camp of strange beings who look like humans but not quite
Agios looked at these beings. "Are they the original inhabitants of this world?"
"No, these are monsters called the Qiqiu people," Paimon replied, performing her duty as a tour guide professionally
Agios looked at Lumen and found that she was normal and was not surprised that she had encountered them before.
Agios looked back at these strange creatures, narrowed his eyes, and muttered, "Monsters? It doesn't look like that to me."
In the eyes of Agios, these are people begging for salvation while something strange oppresses them... something frightening
"Rest in peace," Agios said, then with a flick of his hand dozens of pillars of lightning fell and the entire camp was annihilated.
"Let's go," said Agios Pena, who had already left
Lumen and Paimon looked at his back in surprise, then quickly followed
"Dragon haah." Lumin's face reddened slightly while looking at Agios' back inexplicably
(Coughs Agios 14 but looks about 16)
-------------------
After a while, Paimon pointed at something and exclaimed in admiration, "Look, this is the statue of the Seven Rulers...the statue of the ruler of winds and freedom, Barbatos!"
"Oh" x2
Agios and Lumen looked over there and saw that on a small island in the middle of a small lake there was a statue standing there.
"Let's go," Lumen said suddenly uncharacteristically
So they all moved there
Agios looked at the small lake in front of them and then at Lumen and gloated
He then looked at Paimon out of the corner of his eye and pointed to the other side, then floated to the island
Paimon understood what he meant, smiled slyly, and followed him
...
"Come on, Lumen, come on."
A vein suddenly appeared on Lumen's head as she descended the lake and then thought of a way to take revenge
After swimming for a while, "Oh, my cramps," Lumen said, and began to sink
Paimon and Agios showed concern and went there to check on her
Then, the sound of splashing water appeared as Paimon was pulled into the water while Agios was just a centimeter beyond Lumen's reach with an arrogant smile on his face.
Lumen looked at him in anger and then splashed water on him
Agios smiled slightly and then grabbed her hand slightly and pulled her into the air forcefully
Lumen looked at Agios' cute face in front of her and swallowed a bit, on the other hand Agios's face was a bit embarrassed and turned his face to the side.
Lumen raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a provocative tone, "Are you shy?"
"Shy? Of course not. It's just that," Agios replied calmly, not bothering to provoke her
"The matter is what?" Lumen asked with a smile
"Your clothes." Agios stopped stalling and said softly
"Huh?" Lumen looked at her wet clothes and understood, then her cheeks blushed intensely
Seeing this scene, Agios felt a little stimulus, so he hurried to the island and left it
After getting off, there was still a red color on Lumen's cheeks, but she looked at Lumen, who was also embarrassed, and felt a little proud.
"Ah, save me, I can't swim." At this moment, little Paimon's voice came from the lake
Agios looked at Paimon's place and regained his composure, then said, "Do you want to see how the chicken dances?" Then he looked at Lumen, but quickly shifted his gaze.
"Chicken?" Lumen smiled slightly but asked the meaning curiously
"Yes." Agios smiled slightly, then raised his hand slightly, and then with a "zzzzzzz" sound, a few electric sparks appeared on his hand
Lumen raised her eyebrows.
Agios smiled slightly and then put his hand into the water
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz"
"Kyyyeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… "
-----------------
Ignoring the angry Paimon on the side, Lumen suddenly placed her hand on the statue and then
"Swoosh, swoosh." The sound of the wind came, and then a green color appeared on Lumen's body from the soles of the feet to the top of the head….
"What happened?" Agios asked suspiciously
Lumen smiled slightly, raised her hand slightly, then a vortex of wind formed above her hand, and said, "I can control the wind now."
"Oh," Agius said in deep thought after seeing Lumen's move as he suddenly remembered a certain move from "Naruto" anime.
Lumen smiled slightly with some spite and a dark aura, "Of course, this is nothing in front of the Great Lightning Dragon."
Agius looked at Lumen for a bit, then smiled slightly and patted her head slightly, "Don't worry, I can sense that you have good potential. For example, since there are still seven rulers , perhaps you can touch their statues and acquire the seven elements…"
Agios suddenly thought... Seven Elements and from these Statues.. Is the energy stored in the Statues
Agios approached the statue, touched it lightly, and focused on sensing it with his spiritual energy
Lumen looked at Agios who closed his eyes and sneered, "Hey, it's nothing, so I'll control the seven elements while you'll only be left with one."
Agios paid no heed to it and kept concentrating until he finally sensed the source of this energy….from underground
Under the ground there are lines that transmit special energy… but it is not just an ordinary elemental energy… rather this is a very high level energy and it is an energy that Agios knows very well.
"Chaos energy…but with luminous attributes….interesting…but unfortunately there is a slight pollution in it."
Agios found a very good chance all of a sudden which made him a bit excited and then looked at Lumen
"First, your use of the seven elements is just a hypothesis at the moment. Secondly… who told you that I am a lightning dragon and who told you that the only element I have is lightning… originally who told you that seven elements are better than one."
Lumen's smile suddenly froze but Paimon quickly intervened
"No, in this world every element has another element that suppresses it… so seven elements are much stronger than one."
"Oh." Agios smiled slightly and looked at Lumen, "This situation is only in this world..Have you decided to settle here then?"
Lumen grabbed her skirt slightly
Agios' excited mood suddenly calmed down, then he smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have a way to increase your strength, but what will you give me in return…"
Hearing this, Lumen's heart beat a little, and she suddenly looked at Agios with the corner of her eyes, then lowered her face, which was redder than an apple.
Agios looked at her a little, "I'll give you some time to think, and when you decide, tell me...."
Then he moved abruptly while floating but soon Paimon's angry voice came
"from this direction"
-------------------
While moving, everyone was silent ...
Paimon is angry
Lumen is embarrassing
Agios thinks
"Chengyu? I didn't feel any of this while being with her…was she just a childhood friend…" Agios recalled the memories with Chengyu and started to think a bit.
"No, even though Wu Chen treated her like his younger sister, it was her injury that woke me up… so my feelings for her are definitely more than a childhood friend… The question is whether I consider her my sister or my girlfriend."
Agios had a bit of a headache..after all, love and relationships are not his business in any way
And his experience in life is just twenty isolated years in his second life + fourteen more isolated years in this life... He interacted with a very limited number of people and the rest of the time he was in cultivation.... or in meditation and thinking
Oh his first life...he wasn't even born then
(a bit funny)
And among the women he dealt with in his second life, there were only a limited number of his relatives + Athena in the first life + Chengyu in this life
Therefore, he does not have a good understanding of the relations between men and women
He is not the spirit of love after all so it is not innate to him like Aphrodite or Ishtar or Freya or….
"Ah, too troublesome… anyway, I'll have my book create a good cultivation method."
Then Agios learned that it takes three months. Of course, this little time is because the cultivation method that Agios wants is already with him, but he wants to improve it to cleanse the pollution in Chaos Energy.
------------------
"Wait." Suddenly, Agios stood up and stopped the two
" What is the matter ? "
"There is a dragon ahead."
