Abyss of Dual Cultivation: Goddess's Lust system

‘[Something is different here. Things are different this time.]’

The owner of those creepy hands was not leaving and Aurora’s fists clenched in fear. She needed to do something to make those monsters leave.

For some reason, the monsters were getting more and more agitated the more they observed Aurora’s cabin.

‘[IT’S HERE. IT’S HERE. IT’S FINALLY HERE. OUR TREAT IS HERE AFTER A LONG TIME]’

‘[MASTER! MASTER! HURRY UP. WE’RE HUNGRY]’

‘[CAN WE EAT THIS TASTY TREAT? CAN WE?]’

Aurora did her best not to tense up as the voices got louder and louder. At this point, the only thing remaining between her and the owner of that bony hand was a thin curtain.

Aurora knew she could run away as a last resort. But she also had to take care of Rita and Alexander. Those two were still unconscious.

But the shadows seemed not to be leaving the cabin. They were reaching inside for someone and Aurora felt her throat get blocked by her fear.

‘[WE’LL EAT IT UP]’

“Don’t touch them. I will not allow you to touch them.”

Aurora knew it was a foolish idea for her to use her powers in this situation. She had almost no energy left and her curse could become worse if she let her recovered powers out.

But Aurora knew she could also not sit back and do nothing.

Her aura flared and her body grew to her original size in a matter of seconds. Her hand also held her spear at ready.

‘[IT’S THE ABYSS. IT’S THE ABYSS]’

‘[OUR LORD’S AURA IS HERE. OUR LORD IS BACK]’

‘[OUR LORD BROUGHT US A TREAT. LET’S INDULGE IN IT]’

“I asked you; what are you doing? Did I not tell you not to touch them?”

Aurora had no idea where her power was coming from. Maybe it was the nearness of the open abyss that was fueling her magic, maybe it was her desire.

But one thing Aurora knew for sure. No one would be able to touch her in this form.

Aurora wanted to eradicate each and every single one of these shadowy hands and creatures that were reaching out for her people.

She did not show mercy to those trying to take her things away. Those Aurora had chosen were her and no one else was allowed to keep them.

Aurora tensed as another massive aura headed toward her cabin. This one felt different from the shadowy figure groveling around her.

This one was dangerous and it would be a challenge to get him to cooperate.

“Are you here to challenge me as well?”

The man looking back at Aurora looked familiar. Aurora was sure she had seen him before but she could not figure out where.

There was just something about those golden eyes and blue hair of his that seemed familiar to her.

“You all, Scam. If you value your life then you won’t show your face again in front of me.”

Even that voice of this new person sparked something inside Aurora. But she knew one thing for sure.

He was not someone she had met in her previous life. Nor in her present one.

Those golden eyes and blue hair were not something one could forget just because they wished to. Nor was this man’s aura something that Aurora could ignore if she wished to.

“Don’t give me that look. I will not attack you just because I wished to kill you. I was just here to check up on something.”

“A pet of mine escaped my clutches a while ago so I was trying to track him down. I see now how he managed to get past my defenses.”

Aurora traced that golden-eyed man’s gaze back to Alexander.

It was not to out two-on-two together and figure out who that man meant when he talked about the ‘pet’.

“So sorry to steal your dog. But I need him with me.”

Aurora did not know why she decided to defend Alexander from this powerful man, but she just moved in front of the unconscious pair behind her.

It was foolish of her to give in to her instincts, but Aurora wanted to face this man head-on.

“You need him? Alright, you can have him. But in return, you will need to visit the next time you enter the abyss. Enter any of the overlooker chambers and call out my name.”

Aurora felt a growl build up inside her throat as those golden eyes eased their hostility toward her.

Suddenly, the situation had become a lot clear to her.

This man was an overlooker of the abyss. But his aura was completely different from Ava’s. just standing in front of him caused Aurora to go out of breath.

“Why should I come to look for you?”

“Because you own me for sparing your life. I hope we meet each other soon.”

Aurora wanted to chase after the man once he left. But she knew she could not leave her people or the train alone.

The presence of that golden-eyed man was leaving the vicinity of the train but the smaller shadows had not left yet.

They were waiting for Aurora to allow them to capture the energy of her companions.

“What troublesome creatures. It’s a pity that I have to rely on the Northers Republic soldiers to take care of these things for me.”

Aurora cursed openly but she was relieved to have a reason to not go after that dangerous man.

“Fuck my condition.”

Aurora could feel her power flowering out of her body. It was almost like a leaking tap, unable to hold onto her residual power.

Before Aurora knew it, she was back into her kid form.

“Open the door and let us check inside. It is by the order of the Northern Republic, let us in now.”

Aurora almost jumped as soon as she heard the door open. Her body flinched at the noise the door made when it opened.

“This was the best sleep I’ve had for a while. So, what happened while I was asleep?”

Rita finally woke up after the soldiers forced their way into their ward. Aurora felt her temper cool down as soon as she watched it happen.

“It’s a kid. Seems like she was awake during the confrontation. Do you think we should take her into custody?”

Aurora wanted to scream but she could not say anything at all. The republic soldiers were looking at Aurora with an interested look.

“Hey, kid. Come with me. I have something I want to ask you.”

Aurora took a step back as the soldiers advanced toward her. She did not want to get caught and be held in protective custody by anyone right now.

But the soldiers either ignored her discomfort or did not care about her comfort at all. A hand closed around Aurora’s arm with a hard grip.

“Let her go. You have no authority to touch her.”

Aurora’s body froze at the familiar presence behind her. Aurora had not expected to feel Rita’s older presence again.

Aurora took a step back and knocked her back into Rita. Aurora’s eyes quickly looked up into a familiar pair.

Rita had a nostalgic look in her eyes when she looked at Aurora. To Aurora, it almost felt like she had stepped back into her past.

Was it possible that Rita had some of her past life memories?

Rita had acted all this time like she was a completely different person. So to see Rita’s this mode was a surprise for sure.

“Authority or not, it is not for you to decide. State your name and your purpose for being here. We will decide what to do with you.”

The guard was not willing to back down from his words. But it seemed like Rita was not about to back down either.

“I’m with the Rocx academy. I’m here on official business and it will be in your best interest to let me go.”

Aurora wanted to pat Rita’s back to congratulate her for remembering. The guards seemed to be hesitating after hearing Aurora’s words.

Rita knocked the final nail in the coffin by bringing out the official documents. The guards had no other choice but to back down after seeing those documents.

“Our apologies. We were not sure whether to believe you or not. But since you are our esteemed guests, kindly come this way and we will take you to the royal palace.”

Rita’s expression was disgusted. Aurora was sure that Rita would not agree with the guards.

So Aurora decided to interfere before Rita could sabotage our chances.

“Rita, let’s take their offer. I think their offer is worth considering.”

Rita finally calmed down after Aurora spoke those words. Her eyes did not lose their hostility during the exchange.

“Fine. Lead the way.”

The guards hurried up to accompany the trio. Alexander stayed a little in the back to hide his presence. But he still kept alert.

As for Aurora? She had a weird feeling as soon as she stepped into the Northern Republic. Theis place was hiding a huge secret.
