Chapter 321: Winner Of Her Heart

Even Kyros was amazed at Reptilia's reaction. Reptilia had been a rather cold, detached, and seemingly heartless person. She had shown little interest in anything other than to get stronger, and Kyos even believed that the power he had shown her would make her decide to follow him even without the ties of the Coven. And yet, now, she is actually showing interest and attraction to someone!

"What? That's surprising!" The gossipy Faye suddenly appeared as a bolt of lightning shot out.

More people began to crowd at the entrance. Since only the main family, the Coven, and the Emberdons can enter the Library of Light, the rest waited downstairs.

Grugnyr and Gojirrah raced to the top as well.

"Aunt Reptilia? You actually like someone?"

"Of course. I never cared for love or to cater to my emotions because I wanted to get stronger. Now I am serving a Lord who is Captain level yet can kill Cardinals. Why should I not allow my heart to be unmoved? As a member of the Steele Family, I also now have the honor I longed to have in my life. I am sure that this family will rise and conquer not just the Planesworld, but even my own." Reptilia smiled.

"Wow. Sound's like you've been holding back a lot. Alright. So who do you pick?"

"I have long admired him. I have seen his courage, bravery, and loyalty to you and the family. His strength is also amazing, and even during the games, I watched carefully at his actions that made me win."

Gojirrah felt great delight. His heart would not stop beating as he heard the words.

Grugnyr had an ugly expression. He knew that his strength wasn't much. In the many mock battles, Gojirrah often won against Reptilia.

Gojirrah slowly made their way towards the top. His heart could not believe it! He had taken the heart of the most beautiful warrior he had known.

"I... am overwhelmed!" Gojirrah called out and gave a longing look at Reptilia.

"Why are you moving forward? You are not the one." Reptilia frowned.

"I love you too, my- What?! I'm not the one?!" Gojirrah was shocked.

"No. I do admire your strength. But sorry. I just don't think we're right for each other."

"Oof. Not that cliche answer." Calaminus sighed.

"Not right? But... Bravery... Courage!"

"Someone else has shown more than you."

Grugnyr suddenly walked nearby. His expression was still that of shock.

"...It's me?! I... I do..." Grugnyr gave his wedding vows.

"No. It's not you." Reptilia shook her head immediately.

"...What?!" Grugnyr was stunned.

Scarlet couldn't take it anymore and walk out of the Enlightenment Chamber.

"It's Jeff?!" She was shocked.

Everyone turned towards Jeff. The unknown newcomer who lived in the Middle.

"M-M-Me?! It's me?!" Jeff was shocked.

"Err- sorry, Jeff. Honestly, I didn't know about your existence until Calaminus revealed your existence to me."

"Even I haven't heard of you." Kyros nodded.

Jeff fell on his knees at such an excruciating blow.

"Wait! Then who won! If none from the suggestion of Calaminus wins, then who?" Kyros asked.

"Lord Calaminus did mention it in passing, Lord Kyros. Lord Calaminus. If Kyros was focused on stopping me from winning, would he succeed?"

"Of course. There's no question to that."

"Then why didn't he?"

"Well, he was-oh! I get it! He won! Right! I never thought about that because he wasn't interested. But yes! If I extend the range of winners, he would be at the top!"

"Who?" Aron asked curiously.

"As I said, he is a man of bravery. I heard of his tales, courage, and sacrifice for the Steele family. They risked their lives and were ready to give them away to save Lady Martha. His powers are also impressive as he was the first to understand how Fate Challenger works. Indeed, his foundation towards this allowed many of our allies to rise to the occasion. Without his simple discovery of the essence of Fate Challenger, the death of our men would have been unimaginable. In fact, we may have faced extinction, and only Lord Kyros would survive." Reptilia began.

"It's him!" Diana, Branze, and Martha asked.

"Who is it?" Hunter asked Avary.

"And even during the games, he never sought to win but sought to make it enjoyable for Lord Kyros. He challenged Kyros in a fun game just for the sake of fun. Perhaps the joy of his lord was his reward. Regardless, because of this distraction, I was able to win! Bravery, loyalty to the family and Lord Kyros, and the potential to be strong! Now, as a Steele family, he will serve me! Hunter, I am your prize!"

"WHAT?!" Several shouts were heard around the Temple. But no one shouted louder than Hunter himself.

"Huh. Now that I think about it, Hunter was amazing back when we were playing. I really had fun." Kyros recalled.

"Wait! That means he's going to be my Uncle?!" Kyros was then horrified.

"M-m-me?!" Hunter still couldn't believe it.

Reptilia was the one who approached him.

"You've always been a member of the Steele family to their eyes anyway. When you and your brothers saved Lady Martha, you have shown loyalty and courage to surpass all others. I want a man who would die like that for me. But, of course, the choice is still yours if you'll have me. But you have always been the winner of my heart."

Everyone's mouth was wide open. Then, secretly, some ladies began to cry. Even skeletons who were ladies also wept as they saw their dream man being taken away.

Gojirrah and Grugnyr watched in amazement. But they could not refute her words. Hunter was indeed commendable for his actions. Had it not been for him, Martha would not have received her power, which would have led to their deaths in the battles here.

Hunter was still stunned.

"Lo-Lord Kyros?" He finally asked.

"Agree to it, Uncle Hunter. And kiss her, you fool!" Kyros gave a thumbs up.

Hunter turned back and looked at the dangerously beautiful charm of Reptilia. She was so beautiful that even humans would long for her. Hunter never entertained the thought. He was not of noble birth. But amidst the Steele family, all of these things seemed acceptable. It was then that Hunter started to dream. He always accepted his life to be serving. But now, he realized with Lord Kyros and the rest of the Steele family, he could serve and yet become a king.

"I accept." Hunter glanced back at Reptilia. Now his eyes no longer withheld his emotion as he looked lovingly at the beautiful lady who confessed her love to him.

"Alright. This is a nice moment. But we have to ruin it. Sorry. We'll commemorate the wedding after this battle. I'm guessing mom and dad will also want to celebrate their wedding again. So it's a triple wedding."

"Four. You're forgetting our wedding, lord Kyros." Scarlet chuckled as she moved back to the Enlightenment Chamber.

Kyros turned red, and a dark aura was hovering over Mechiel. Even the Blood Calamity was enraged.

"Alright, people. Let's get back to work. Let's not waste any time. We don't know how long Heralcus will try to see the memories of the dead souls." Kyros ordered everyone to return to their respective task.

"Lord Kyros. Thank you." Reptilia bowed.

"Don't worry about it. You did a good job with that dance."

"Ye-Yes. My lady, would you..." Hunter asked shyly.

"Fine. Defeat four Champions, and I'll give you that same dance for your viewing. But that should only be after we are married." Reptilia smiled.

Hunter was dazed. Several crashing sounds and explosive Force attacks could be heard outside as Grugnyr and Gojirrah were cursing when they heard this.

Kyros was sweating and hoped that Scarlet did not hear what Reptilia had just said.

"Lord Kyros. There should still be a few memories that would put their impressions on the Wings of the Nephilim or of our forces."

"Yes. That was intended. If no souls would reveal small details about our army, then Heralcus would leave. But if there is a very small percentage that does, he will stay and try his luck." Kyros smiled.

"Ah. I understand now. How cruel."

Back outside, Heralcus continued to see through the memories. Neteri was also helping out.

They were close to giving up, but Neteri saw a vision of a strange flying device.

And so, the pair began to carefully search each memory to attain even a single additional detail.

"They tried to cover it, but it seems some souls will still give us more information!" Heralcus began to hope, and the pair continued to sift through the memories.

Hours passed, and the pair managed to find some things.

There were some memories of great explosions, a strange Holy energy that moved like a wall, and so on.

There was yet another woman who appeared that made Heralcus curse. The power of this young woman was similar to the power of the Blood Calamity!

"They have another Succubus?!" Heralcus raged and shouted madly. But as he turned to Neteri, Neteri was now singing the same song that most of the souls revealed. It was that song about some tasty treat called ice cream.

"NETERI!" Heralcus slapped her.

SLAP!

"My-my Cardinal! I'm sorry. I was... I was scouring those memories to see if if there were any words of power related to the abilities of the succubus which entranced everyone within that song.

"What have you found so far?" Heralcus asked again.

"It appears the enemy is capable of mobile energy conversion circles. Unfortunately, very few memories allowed me to piece it all together and explain how their mages have such devastating firepower."

"I believe we have found all that we can in this. We should prepare our counters.. I have a way of destroying all energy conversion circles through freezing. Let's go back! It's time for us to prepare our final assault!"
