Chapter 162: The Slave System Comment (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
The next morning...
When Elena slowly opened her eyes, she found Mira sleeping peacefully beside her.
A gentle smile appeared on her pale face.
Not wanting to wake her friend, Elena quietly climbed out of bed and headed toward the lake for a bath.
As she walked outside, weakness spread through her entire body.
Her skin also felt much hotter than usual.
Even so, she ignored the discomfort and continued walking toward the lake.
After confirming that no one else was there.
She quietly removed her all clothes and stepped into the clear water.
"Cold." A relieved sigh escaped her lips.
The cool water soothed the burning heat inside her body, making her feel slightly better.
However the itching around her upper back only became stronger.
"W-What’s happening to me?" She muttered weakly as her vision gradually blurred.
The entire world seemed to sway before her eyes.
Then she noticed someone standing in the distance.
"Master~" She called out to Luke.
Her voice sounded strangely soft and slightly intoxicated.
Yet she didn’t notice the difference herself.
With unsteady steps, she slowly walked toward him.
’Huh?’
’Why is Master covering his eyes?’
’Does master not want to see my face anymore??’ thinking this, she felt afraid.
Afraid that master had found she was useless and didn’t want to see her face again.
’No!’ So she increased her strength in her legs, and just as she reached near Luke, she hugged him tightly, or atleast tried, but could only increase her grip on his clothes.
Though, just as she did this, her vision spun and she became unconscious.
Present Time...
While hugging Elena’s body, he felt some swelling on her upper back.
"What’s this?" he touched the part and became confused, because it seemed something was trying to come out.
Then it happened. Without any warning, two angel wings suddenly came out from her upper back and it was still containing some blood, likely when they came out.
Luke got startled from this and tried to back away, then remembered that Elena was still unconscious, and saw her dropping into the water, so he hurriedly reached out and held her waist tightly.
As he sighed in relief after catching her.
Elena’s eyes suddenly snapped open. They had turned completely golden, devoid of any pupils, as two pillars of radiant light shot from her eyes straight toward the heavens.
While Luke was getting shocked from the phenomenon, inside him, the three titans were sleeping.
But suddenly two snapped open their eyes, Nyx and Caelith, then with narrowed eyes, they looked toward the sky.
Likely trying to see something between Elena and the heavens themselves.
The system, who was watching the whole phenomenon from the start, became surprised after seeing both titans reaction.
And thought, ’A real titan is something.’ Even though they had lost their original power, they were still able to see the divinity in the sky, which was really something.
Because perceiving divinity normally requires one to be at the Demi-god realm or above, or possess a special ability, such as an Origin Skill related to it.
Then the system also looked upward, likely toward the heavens themselves. ’Seems like she was watching Luke all this time.’
At this, an amused smile appeared on the system’s face. Then he looked toward Elena, muttered thoughtfully.
’Hmm... Valtharion is allowing them to make some changes to an Origin Skill.’
[Interesting.] the System remarked, causing Luke to frown in confusion.
"What’s interesting?" But the system didn’t reply, at which he shook his head, because he had come to understand already that his system was something different, not like the slave systems he had read about in novels or comics.
[Hey! Who are you calling a slave! (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻] The system’s angry words came out, but this time Luke ignored this.
Fortunately, the light emitting from Elena’s eyes had stopped and her breathing was also returned back to normal.
At this, he sighed in relief and smiled at her. But then his eyebrow twitched.
Because due to her angel-like feathers, which suddenly came out from her upper back, the clothes he had put on her were shredded and dropped into the water.
So Elena was again fully naked.
But this time, he noticed something different. "She has become more beautiful."
Luke really felt her face had a different glow, like a heavenly aura, which mortals couldn’t touch, and even her body was glowing with a golden glow.
[So Luke you are noticing her beauty now. I already told you before, that you should have made these mage’s already fall in love with you. 😒]
As he was commenting on her beauty, the system’s voice came, along with an annoyed emoji.
"I never said they are not beautiful. Especially for Elena." Luke gave him a speechless look and brought another of his clothes to cover her body fully.
Because maybe someone close to this location would come here after noticing that golden light.
So he didn’t want the pervert label on him.
Fortunately, the wings she had summoned had returned to her upper back and only a small swelling could be seen again, but no wounds.
"Master." The thing he was worried most happened.
Luke froze while dressing Elena, and with a robot-like body, he turned toward the sound.
There Mira, the water mage, was standing with her hand on her mouth, while a deep red blush could be seen on her cheeks, as she looked at him and the half-naked Elena.
"Mira." Luke softly called out her name, on which she nodded with a smiling face. But her gaze still didn’t move from the hand which was holding Elena.
’What is she thinking?’ Luke became confused, while Mira was shouting excitedly inside.
’Elena already won master’s heart!’
’Yeah! I have to tell the others as well!’
If Luke really found out her thoughts, then he would had given her a speechless look, while saying.
’Girl, I don’t want people to find anything about this situation and you are thinking about spreading this?’
’Don’t you want your master to live anymore?’
’Because if my wife finds out about this, then think just a little bit how your poor master will survive.’
Sadly Luke didn’t know this and could only hope that this talk wouldn’t reach Aurielle’s ears.
Fortunately, Vaelira who saw everything from a distance, would keep quiet about everything.
"Ahh, Master. Elena seems ill, that’s why she was resting earlier. But I didn’t know when she came out by herself." Elena, when she came out of her fantasy thoughts, muttered in panic, while giving a sorry pleading look to Luke.
Though at this Luke just sighed and carried Elena out in a princess carry out of the lake, before giving her to Mira and said.
"Just be careful next time." And turned to leave, but-
He stopped as Elena was holding his clothes with a tight grip, and her face had again become like she was in some kind of nightmare.
Seeing this, both Luke and Mira paused. And Mira said worriedly, "Master, Elena is like this from yesterday."
Hearing this, Luke also become worried, so he caressed her forehead gently, while saying, "I am still here, Elena, don’t worry."
After saying this, he saw Elena’s face expression relaxed a lot, like hearing his voice had an effect.
Then he removed her hands gently, before deciding to follow them as well.
In case something like this happened again, so he could take care.
After a few moments later, they reached Elena’s house, while Luke chose to stay outside. At this Mira said how could that be, but Luke just said.
"First take care of Elena." And pointed toward her dress, which was still not fully covered and her private parts could clearly be seen.
Seeing this, Mira became embarrassed and hurriedly shut the door in Luke’s face.
’Yeah, my summons are weird.’ With that Luke sat down beneath one tree and checked Elena’s profile.
"Let’s see what Origin skill she had awakened." Luke said with expectation, because the earlier phenomenon suggested it should be a higher rating.
