Chapter 2: Mysterious Beauty
As soon as the dark whirlpool fell around him, the sky and the ground turned into a white light, which despite being bright did not blind his eyes. The white ground beneath his feet began to rise and travel at a great speed.
However, Arthur felt as if he was traveling at ease in an elevator, in fact, he could tell that the ride was pleasant for some reason.
If you looked around, you could notice the dark space, constantly spinning along with several white dots that resembled the stars you would see at night on Earth perfectly illuminating the place, giving it a mystical yet beautiful atmosphere.
Arthur was lying on his back in the middle of it all.
'Bifrost?'
' What the hell is going on? '
Arthur did not understand what was happening. He was recently fulfilling his greatest dream in life, after much sacrifice, and all of a sudden, a beautiful woman was telling him that an apocalypse would fall on his planet and that he would have to be the one to stop it, and All this after dying because a piece of the ship he was supposed to travel in hit him in the head!
'What were those strange symbols he made with his hands? Magic? And the images on the sphere? Will I have to fight those things? ' At this thought, Arthur tried to scratch his head, but his body didn't move an inch.
' Great, and now I can't move! ' Arthur, he was stressed he didn't know what the future would hold for him. As he thought this, he realized something else.
'I can't talk either!!!'
While Arthur was immersed in his thoughts, he didn't notice that a small figure appeared right behind him and was watching him curiously for a while.
"hee hee hee..."
Suddenly, a beautiful, playful laugh reached Arthur's ears, startling him.
*..?!!*
Hearing this he tried to turn his body again, though to no avail. 'Damn.' He grumbled in his mind and quickly gave up.
Lying on the ground, he could see the figure of a girl walking around him. The girl was wearing a large, dark, tattered cloak covering her face with a hood, not allowing her to be fully seen.
However, this cloak exposed her slender and delicate arms and legs, as white as snow over her wrists and ankles hung large chains, which made noise with every step she took.
'Interesting.' The girl stood over Arthur's lying body and stared at him for a while, then sat on his chest with her legs crossed to one side and said:
"Weak souls cannot move or speak outside the Ethereal Forest." A soft voice with a seductive tone that did not match her appearance came from the girl.
As the girl sat on top of him, Arthur felt the soft, shapely buttocks flatten against his chest. It weighed absolutely nothing it was as if a kitten had laid down on his chest, using him as a pillow.
He was in shock at the situation although he was pleased with the sensation on his chest, he did not feel it was an ethical thing to do to have this kind of feeling with a youngest girl.
Helplessly, Arthur peered under the girl's hood as she stroked her long dark hair as if she had forgotten him.
Under her hood was a beautiful face that left him shocked. The girl's beautiful skin was white and smooth, giving her the appearance of a beautiful jade doll made by the finest sculptor.
Her eyebrows were a deep black that rose slightly at the corners and denoted an unreal beauty above a beautiful pair of crimson eyes. Arthur was deeply stunned looking into that beautiful pair of eyes that looked to the side...
That beautiful pair of red eyes, as beautiful as the fire of a phoenix, seemed to have a predator's gaze. It was as if they were looking at a small prey, however, this look enhanced their beauty even more.
The danger in her gaze created a perfect and beautiful contrast with her small and soft face.
He could not think much at that moment because he felt lost in that unreal beauty, but he was sure that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was sure that, if she appeared anywhere in the world, she could provoke wars between nations just to have a partial view of her beauty.
Many men would kill for the chance to see her, if only for a few seconds.
Suddenly, the girl turned her crimson eyes to Arthur, with a shivering sensation running through Arthur's body. She could feel how Arthur's furtive gaze had been watching her for quite a while.
Seeing Arthur's face, the girl let out a small seductive smile that embellished it even more. Leaving him stunned for a moment.
"Your soul is fragmenting... At this rate you won't get to reincarnate in your body in time, that old fool took too long" Said the girl. Then she looked up slightly and placed a finger on her lips. As she looked up, the hood slowly slipped from her head, revealing.
"Although considering you've saved me a journey of millions of years, you've put me in a good mood and..."
The girl raised one of her hands in the direction of Arthur's face, then squeezed his cheeks and looked at his face as if she were evaluating a piece of meat before buying it, "Since you have an attractive little face, I might consider saving your life, if you agree to be my slave."
"..."
The girl smiled complacently, as if she had expected Arthur's silence from the beginning, "Well, they say he who is silent is silent, so I'll take your silence as a yes."
"Ji ji ji ji." The girl let out a small giggle as her fingers were dyed in a dark color, which gradually spread to her elbows. As soon as the dark color got there, red lines emerged that extended from the fingers to the middle of the arm, giving a terrifying appearance of lava veins.
The temperature of the place, which so far was warm and comforting, quickly rose as these strange veins appeared on the girl's arms.
"This might hurt just a little."
Said the girl as she placed her hand on Arthur's chest. The moment her delicate fingers gently rested on his chest, a blizzard began to rise around them, slightly lifting both of their clothes. The girl's hair came loose, revealing all its splendor amidst a dance to the sound of the surrounding wind.
However, before Arthur could enjoy the wondrous sight that had been, presented to him, small currents engulfed his body as they flowed out of the girl's fingers, enveloping him in a great and strange agony that was, reflected in his eyes.
"hee hee hee... Forget that to mortals this pain can be a bit intense." At this moment the girl looked terrifying in Arthur's eyes... But Arthur was not intimidated for a moment his eyes looked at the girl with a rage he had never felt before.
general, Arthur was a calm person, and no matter how many dangerous situations he had gone through, he always used to keep a cool and serene mind. Thanks to this quality, which was instilled from a young age by his parents, Arthur was able to climb to where he is today.
However, at this moment he was different. He didn't know why he felt so angry. The girl said she was going to help him, and although he didn't like her saying that she would turn him into her slave, after all, it was much better than being a corpse, at least he would have a future that way.
However, this was not over yet, Arthur was enveloped in the power that had come from the girl's delicate hands, he looked at both hands. The white glow that was escaping from his body was nowhere to be seen anymore.
He felt better, in fact, he felt better than ever, but he felt an uncontrollable rage, he needed to get even, it was the only thing going through his mind at the moment.
With this in mind, he continued to attack the girl relentlessly, though without much success. The girl continued to dodge his attacks with ease, in fact, she seemed to enjoy the moment, the giggles she let out with each missed hit from Arthur proved it.
"You are more compatible with my power than I imagined, I like you, I like you... hahaha."
Arthur tapped vertically with his claw-like fingers.
Arthur had practiced various martial arts since he was a child and had done so for many years, but, none of these martial arts used claw-like fingers. However, right now he was striking as if his hands had claws, something unnatural for him. But, at this moment, his body was telling him that this was the most optimal way to fight, so he simply followed his instincts and attacked relentlessly again and again.
As he attacked, his eyes turned a beautiful scarlet color, and his body released an aura of the same color, giving him a terrifying appearance, anyone who saw him right now could say that he looked like the Vikings of the old stories, who fought non-stop, ignoring everything else outside the fight.
As the seconds progressed, Arthur began to move even faster, hitting without stopping or breathing.
However, this all ended abruptly after the girl dodged to the side, suddenly Arthur fell to the ground, feeling a great pressure on his body preventing him from moving a single centimeter.
"AAGHH" Arthur kept letting out meaningless moans.
"Ha ha ha, I like you, I would like to keep playing a lot, but it would be a shame to break a new toy as soon as you acquire it... That said, I also won't let you die until we meet again" Said the girl, an aura of the same color as Arthur, though denser, escaped from the girl's body.
"Because I like you, I will give you another gift to make you stronger before our reunion, when you awaken in your body, you will see. I look forward to our future reunion. hahaha."
When the girl finished speaking, Arthur felt his consciousness fade rapidly, until he became unconscious.
