Chapter 10 - Demonic Arts

Nyxara grinned and raised the golden envelope.

Myles smiled and nodded.

He asked, "By the way, I want to know about the demonic arts and demonic martial arts."

Nyxara was shocked. She tilted her head, trying to remember something.

She asked, "I can only recall that I told you about demonic arts. How did you know about demonic martial arts?"

Myles shrugged and said, "Isn't what your mother did earlier, to suddenly appear in front of you, is a form of demonic martial arts?"

Nyxara gazed at Myles in silence for a while and replied, "Yeah. It was a demonic martial art. As for her erasing a part of her memory, that was a demonic art. It belonged to Memory and Identity Arts. If you want to know more about it, well, you can ask my Mother or we'll simply learn more about it in the Royal Academy."

Myles nodded.

"When will we travel?"

Nyxara's eyes widened and slapped her face.

"I forgot, there are still two months left before the opening of the Royal Academy."

Myles was surprised. He pondered for a while and nodded, "It's fine. I'll have to integrate into the new life in the meantime, too."

Nyxara was confused again. She was unable to understand what he meant.

Nevertheless, she pondered on how to entertain Myles in the meantime and she was embarrassed by her lustful thoughts.

Myles caught her reaction and rolled his eyes.

He said, "Like I said, I will try to integrate in this new life. Two months might not be enough. I don't have time for your thoughts unless I have to."

Nyxara was caught like a startled cat and immediately tried to explain.

"O-Of course, I know you aren't like that. I want to preserve my virginity, you know. Also, I'm not thinking what you're thinking."

"Since you get what I was thinking, then you're thinking what I'm thinking."

Nyxara was speechless.

She was unable to retort.

In the end, she sighed in defeat and finally decided to change her clothes to a formal one.

When she undressed herself, Myles was still in the room, but she turned around and only showed her curvaceous back and plump cheeks below.

Myles simply gazed at it and was impressed by how well-toned her body.

He could not deny the hotness spreading below him, but he was immediately distracted by his future plans.

"I'm still a Rank 1 Lesser Demon. I have to rank up before I enter the Royal Academy.

But I can't make my movements too obvious. I might only be able to target Common Demon at most."

As Myles pondered how to increase his rank through the effects of his bloodline, his eyes widened.

He was about to ask Nyxara when the words were stuck in his throat.

Nyxara wore a fine dress, not as revealing as before. She was stunningly pretty.

He smiled. "So you know how to take care of yourself?"

Nyxara grinned and replied, "Of course, I do."

"You know, I'm curious. Why did you have to wear revealing clothes when your charm skill is enough?"

Nyxara tilted her head. "Charm skill? What is skill?"

Myles was surprised. He did not reply and waited for Nyxara to explain about the other explanation for the charm skill.

Nyxara stared at Myles, who went silent, and continued, "I don't know about the Charm skill. But if you're talking about our irresistible charm, well, it's a demonic art, too. But it's an innate demonic art, so I easily learn it. Likewise for your race, you can use energy drain to others without even having a proper education about demonic arts."

Myles nodded. He contemplated for a while and asked the voice in his head:

"Is demonic martial arts a skill, too?"

[It is considered as a skill. However, once you'll learn a lot of skills, I will divide it into categories, the demonic arts and demonic martial arts and by its rank, too. For now, there's only a single section, which is skill.]

Myles nodded. It seems my status will update from time to time the more I continue to learn a lot of things.

"Also." Nyxara blushed. "I can only activate my innate demonic arts if I perform certain actions and have to wear revealing clothes."

Myles was stunned. He immediately asked the voice in his mind:

"Do I have to perform certain kinds of actions, too? And wear revealing clothes? Why is it not included in the descriptions?"

[I apologized for not including it in the descriptions. As for your question, the answer is yes, you have to abide by the racial law set by them. However, you don't have to exaggerate it. Furthermore, if you can master the charm skill, you don't even have to do anything.]

Myles frowned. Then, what kind of certain actions do I have to perform?

[It's easy. Just try to seduce others. You are a master of that, am I correct?]

Myles was stunned. He recalled how to charm others and certainly, those were what the voice meant.

He tried it on Nyxara and attempted to charm her.

He gazed at her with predatorial eyes. 

Nyxara was stunned by how Myles gazed at her.

Myles said in a low, manly voice, "Nyxara."

He wanted to tell her to come towards him, but she might follow only because she was a slave, not by his charm.

Nyxara stared at him and her heart raced.

She closed her eyes and said, "Just so you know, if you're aiming to charm me, it's best to do it to others, not me. I've already fallen in love with you."

Myles was stunned. Right. How could I forget?

He shook his head and said, "I just want to ask if you have prisoners that are fine to be killed?"

Nyxara was stunned. 

She was confused but replied nonetheless, "Yeah. A lot."

Myles grinned. He was exhilarated to know that he came up with a better idea to experiment with his bloodline powers.

He said, "That's good. Can you give them to me? I want to experiment with them."

Nyxara frowned and nodded nevertheless.

She said, "Alright. I will lend you my torture chamber. Also, don't push me if I can't give you any more criminals for the next two months."

Myles nodded. "It should be in the Common Rank."

Nyxara was surprised. "Then, the criminals you need might be lesser than you think."

"It's fine. As long as there is."

Nyxara complied.
