Primordial Soul's Rebirth

*Tap**Tap*

Alex, who was standing in a completely white room, tapped the walls curiously.

It was solid, and although he could look past the white wall with a bit of effort, he just observed the interior of this isolated space.

But as he saw five figures materializing in the spot where he was standing a second ago, he observed their expressions.

*Chuckle*

A chuckle inadvertently escaped his lips as he saw Valerius's expression.

"You sure are famous."

Alex spoke between his chuckles as he turned his head toward the person who bought him here.

"Not at all, my lord.

My fame is nowhere near the fame you have gathered in just a few days."

Selina, who was hiding within the space sighed as she heard Alex's words, and the next second, she emerged out of that space pocket.

"Hmm, you do know that you can be executed for abducting the demon lord, right?"

Alex didn't comment on her humbling words; he rather asked her a question.

*Tap**Tap*Tap*...

His finger tapped the wall as he stared to measure the distance inside this isolated room.

*Step**Step**Step*...

He moved around the room with slow and deliberate steps.

"You wouldn't blame me for trying to have a bit of private conversation, would you, my lord?"

Selina, who heard Alex's question, just like Alex, instead of answering, asked a question, her eyes blinking with seductive allure as her voice turned sultry.

*Chuckle*

Alex chuckled again, his hand moving away from the wall and waving at no one.

But Selina, who saw that gesture, could clearly see that it was a gesture for Azaroth.

It was as if Alex was telling him that everything was fine, and Selina saw it as the next second, the generals and the demon ancestor walked away.

Alex's arms moved again, crossing behind his back, and his expression suddenly turned serious as he stared into Selina's bright purple eyes.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

His demeanor returned to that of an emperor instead of just a young man enjoying his wine.

The wine glass had already disappeared into nothingness, as Alex had used his destruction energy to make it possible.

"Do not try this stunt without my permission ever again."

His eyes shone with a cold, piercing intensity, making it clear that his warning was not to be taken lightly.

*Tremble*

Selina was stronger than Alex; she knew it, but she couldn't stop her body from shuddering.

'W-What is this feeling…?'

Selina could feel her insides tingling in a strange way, something she had never felt before.

Those cold eyes of Alex and that intensity in his voice made it seem like he was not talking to the most beautiful woman in the demon empire—who is also one of the strongest beings in the whole world—but just a normal citizen of the empire.

His gaze reminded her of how she looks at other men as if they are not worth her time.

'I never thought that being on the other side would feel this good…'

She muttered, biting her lips inwardly.

But the next second, as she saw Alex's brows creasing into a frown, she hurriedly nodded her head.

"A-As you wish, my lord."

She tried not to let her 'strange' emotions be shown in front of Alex, but she couldn't stop herself from stuttering.

Alex, who saw that, was about to use his empathy ability to read Selina's emotions, or at least try to, but...

"Where are we, master?"

Noctura, who had been tense for a while, trying to understand what had happened, finally questioned Alex as her eyes remained fixed on Selina.

Her fur was standing to their end as she could feel that she would lose the moment she tried to attack the woman in front of her—at least inside this space.

"Oh, well, this is an isolated space created by this woman, right here."

Alex, who had a serious expression, suddenly smiled as he patted Noctura's head while pointing at Selina.

The change made even Selina, who had been an experienced actor and expression reader, bewildered.

"An isolated space?"

Noctura, who was being patted by Alex, relaxed a bit as she inquired what he meant.

"Hmmm, how should I say it…?"

Alex put up a pondering expression as he thought of the best way to explain Noctura before his eyes brightened in realization.

"You remember the place I kept you in before?

The one where you were powering up for the breakthrough?"

Alex's question was instantly answered by Noctura, as she could clearly recall those things; after all, she was in there a while back.

"Yes!"

She nodded her head before asking a question while looking around.

"Is this a place just like that??"

The place they were talking about was nothing other than the dimensional nexus, which Alex used as a pokeball to carry Noctura from one world to another.

Selina, on the other hand, was about to reply to Noctura's words, but the moment she heard Alex's words, she paused and attentively listened to his words.

'What place are they talking about?'

'Is he already proficient enough to create isolated spaces like mine?'

Such questions popped into her mind one after another, but she decided to keep quiet as she knew that she wasn't close enough to ask those questions, nor did she have enough authority.

Alex's next word, however, irked her a bit.

"In a way, yes, but that one is way more advanced than this one."

Those words, in Selina's view, meant that there was someone Alex knew who was way more proficient with space elements than her.

That was something she couldn't accept.

She, Selina Astralflare, was known as the space genius; even Azaroth was not as proficient as she was with space elements, even though he was way older than her.

So, Alex's words did hurt her pride; she frowned a bit before she spoke.

"My lord, this is not the best I could do, so please don't judge me so soon."

Her dissatisfied yet confident words caused Alex's eyes to gleam with interest.

"Oh? What are you waiting for, then?

The only reason I'm still here is because I am interested in something you are somewhat proficient with."

Alex commented as he folded his arms in front of his chest.

He was intentionally speaking out loud when speaking to Noctura. He knew that Selina, as a space genius, must be proud of her talent, and if he were to say something like that, then of course she would feel a hit on her ego.

And with his last words, he had just fueled the fire his previous words had started.

As Alex had wanted it to be, a vein popped on Selina's forehead the moment she heard Alex's words.

But she didn't say anything; she wasn't some young girl to be swayed by Alex's words.

*Inhale**Exhale*

She took a deep breath, and then she smiled again.

"As you wish, my lord.

Let me show you what I can do with the 'somewhat' level of proficiency I have in using the space element."

She spoke with a playful smile, emphasizing the word 'somewhat' before she waved her hand.
