Chapter 83
The guy instinctively felt that Juno's appearance promised trouble. The girl was one of a kind. When he focused on her, the whole world faded and lost colors. She could bewitch him... b.i.t.c.h! It was unfair that the G.o.ds endowed her with such a charming appearance. A merciless demon in the guise of an angel! The contrast adds a certain piquancy, though.
Juno hesitantly walked inside, nervously wrapping a curl of golden hair on her finger. Strangely enough, this time she didn't come to the servant to set him up or destroy him but because she wanted to get stronger. For that goal, the girl got over herself and swallowed her usual arrogance. She was craving to get her long-cherished desire, but without strength and talent, she will never have it.
Kyon nearly choked on the last spoonful of stew and smiled wryly instead of a greeting:
«Well?»
The beauty closed her eyes framed with a fringe of long captivating eyelashes then she opened them again, her full lips parted, faltering:
«Tell me, sir. Do you really know how to make the keys pure?» - Her voice pleasantly caressed his ears like a spring breath. What a striking change in her behavior.
Kyon winced. What a talented actress she is! Pretending she is sincere and innocent... As always, not a hint of falsehood. But his common sense suggested that the cunning devil had something on her mind again.
«I do. Let's cut the c.r.a.p.»
Juno had learned a little the nature of the wicked servant. If he said something, then most likely it was true. When he became her master on that ill-fated night, he did not **** her just as promised. He beat her up after the honest victory. She still had hope that he wasn't lying this time.
The girl took a deep breath, trying to summon up courage. The mere idea to be a student of that jerk seemed to her indescribably humiliating, especially considering the difference in their origin. Even if it was difficult to deny that he moves and reacts in battle much better than her.
The slave girl straightened her short gray skirt, slowly knelt down, glanced at the young man who looked at her as his property, and said reverently:
«Master, I swear to be an obedient and obliging student. I promise to never resist you in any way and fully acknowledge your power over me. In exchange, you will regularly encourage me for good behavior and never defame my dignity, that is, hara.s.s and torment me without good reason.»
Juno finished her tirade, getting arrogant at the end, got up and looked eagerly at the "master," expecting the words of approval and consent but...
She only heard Kyon's booming scornful laughter:
«You're in no position to dictate your terms, stupid fool. You're my toy! I will do to you whatever I want and when I see fit. And now swear allegiance as befits a truly submissive slave or get the f.u.c.k out of here and be miserable mediocrity for the rest of your miserable days.»
«B-but... It is…» – Juno started thinking, bowing her head in frustration. The servant was so adamant... It was unfair! It was difficult to get anything from him while she had to give everything he wanted. It had to be exactly the opposite!
The girl couldn't believe the arrogant guy had the divine ability. On the other hand, if the slave did deceive her, she wasn't obliged to keep the oath to a liar. Besides… Did the vows given to insignificant slaves have any value?
Juno looked firmly at Kyon and knelt again.
«Dear sir…»
He impatiently interrupted her:
«From now on call me a master!»

Juno pressed her lips into a thin line of irritation but she quickly came to her senses and said:
«Master, I swear to be obedient, obliging and never resist your power over me. I will be very grateful if you do your promised service in exchange for my good behavior.»
«I did not promise you any service. I said that I would probably do it. On the whole, the oath is accepted. Well done. From now on, I'm your master.» - He patted her head condescendingly as if she was his obedient puppy.
Juno rose to her feet looking offended but said nothing.
«Here's your first important task. Show me the treasury of your family. I'm interested in powerful defense items. The more of them, the better.»
«You... you...» - Juno cooled off just in time. It was a great chance to prove the slave's divine ability! Even 1% of the key purity costs the entire treasury and even more for the girl, self-absorbed b.i.t.c.h. The benefits outweigh the cost. All the more, the guy will get his way. He always does. He always takes from her whatever he wants. It's a sin to miss such a chance to become a super genius resisting his first request.
«Follow me, master.» - The girl stood up and left the room.
After the accident with the lightning, when Kyon was almost killed, he decided to find a way to protect himself in the future. No matter what it was, an accident or wrath of heaven, some caution wouldn't hurt. Additional elements at the beginning of his development would bring him much benefit and dramatically improve the quality of his energy. He'd already mastered
To the Kyon's utter astonishment, Juno went to the storeroom... She opened the secret pa.s.sage and went downstairs to the library.
«…» - The guy finally understood why the pathetic library was hidden so well. It was a distraction from the treasury inside!
Juno flashed him a defiant eye, put her wrist to an unremarkable stone in the wall. He heard screeching and then a secret pa.s.sage formed under the ground.
Kyon wondered. - {A secret pa.s.sage in the hidden room... Not bad at all.}
The way to the treasury of the great family looked inappropriate. It was like a damp cave thousand years old.
{Catacombs...} - The young man thoughtfully raised an eyebrow.
Back in the mine, bald Borya told him that they extracted resources in the mountains for two reasons. Firstly, due to the high content of energy in the air, and therefore spiritual crystals. Secondly, the ancient catacombs had long existed in the mountains before the Stone family appeared. They had rebuilt them into the mine. It made sense. Kyon woke up in that world right in the cave.
And here he was, back to catacombs... Perhaps they were connected with the construction of the estate on that site. The historical books of the Stones told that the mansion was erected in that place due to the high concentration of energy in the air. It was reasonable, but there was not a single word about the catacombs... The young man was standing in front of the ancient cave and thousand-year-old footsteps made it clear that it existed long before the Stones. Is it because of this place that the patriarch's mansion was built here?
Juno and Kyon walked in the tunnel about a hundred meters when they saw a s.p.a.cious room carved in stone. A few light crystals lit up the long rows of shelves and display cases, where various objects were arranged – cloudy stones, weapons, outfits, bracelets, rings and much more. Next to each thing, there was a dull green stone. It played the role of a brochure giving basic information about the item.
All the stones which contain formations were called nephrite in that world.
Kyon's eyes widened in surprise. A s.p.a.cious room, fully stocked with miscellaneous items and treasures! A fortune!
Juno turned around. «Mmaster, if pour in energy into the nephrite you will know everything about the item. If you want to take beautiful weapons, they are on those shelves. If you are interested in s.h.i.+ny spatial s.h.i.+elds or expensive s.p.a.cial rings they are over there. The money is in the safe, but if you take it, you will reveal yourself.»
«Do you think I came here to get rich?»
Juno turned away and pursed her lips. Of course, she thought, that the servant wanted to take something valuable. Otherwise, what was he doing there?
«You don't have to answer.» - Кyon lost all interest in the girl. He picked up the first green cloudy stone he saw and poured some pure energy into the formation. A vague fog appeared and reached his consciousness after the guy breathed it in. The information appeared in his mind: "A spatial bracelet of 6 cubic meters."
"A sword transforming a fiery attribute into a fiery technique of a thousand fireflies. The technique is... ","This device estimates the level of development of the enemy, up to ten people in the group, superior phase inclusive... "," Formation of concealment. It hides you from the spiritual sense and scanning of pract.i.tioners to the peak of the n.o.ble phase inclusive."
Without any doubt in his actions, the guy took the item of concealment and put it on his hand. He shouldn't draw too much attention to his extraordinary pace of development... Why not faking the stage by pretending that he wasn't improving at all? Unlike the trick with a lowering the stage, items of concealment could really hide the soul.
Kyon continued to explore the treasury: "A one-time formation that snaps into action when pure energy is infused. It creates a powerful stream of flame, incinerating the flesh of opponents. It's capable of breaking through the enemy's defense up to the middle of an advanced phase."
While Kyon was looking at the dull stone with the formation inside, a devilish light danced in his eyes. He knew very well that there existed not only defensive but also attacking formations. Both kinds were mostly disposable. Even a weak person could easily destroy a more powerful opponent with just a pocketful of such disposable formations. Simply put, you borrow a power that you do not possess, only for one blow, in rare cases for two. Attacking formations are not very widespread. A huge amount of resources — animal keys — are required to create them, and
Kyon took the next nephrite: "When activated, it covers the body of the wearer with an ether barrier that can block attacks up to the beginning of the advanced phase."
{Here it is!} - The guy started to study protective disposable formations. Some of them created a stone s.h.i.+eld, others the s.h.i.+eld made of water or air, of pure energy, but the most common was the usual ether barrier.
The time flew when he was exploring the treasury.
When he saw something useful, Kyon placed it in the spatial ring, thereby appropriating it. It gave him a sense of confidence. He replenished his a.r.s.enal with the item of concealment, many defensive and a certain number of attacking formations (alas, they were not as many as he wished). In addition, he got a long sword and high-quality throwing needles. Perhaps he'd armed himself so well that even Dinah would find it stupid to fight against the barriers. It was too bad that he got all that only now. Otherwise, Yegorka would not have scorched his face. He could even vanish completely if only Kyon activated a couple of attacking formations.
Kyon nodded pleased with himself. Now it is time to master the element of light. Protective formations in the items will hold the powerful lightning from the heaven above. He'll be fine, even if it is 30 times more powerful than the previous time.
When he turned around, the guy saw Juno sniffling quietly. She was leaning against the wall, sitting on the cold floor. Her head tilted aside, her eyes closed and legs spread slightly apart. The short skirt could barely hide her special place...
Apparently, the girl didn't want to leave the servant alone in the treasury, so she watched him to the bitter end, that is until she fell asleep. And now this wonderful creature is freezing her a.s.s on the cold floor, so close to drooling in her sleep.
Kyon approached her with a wistful expression on his face. It would be great to leave her here, but something unusual and unpleasant was itching in his chest, leaving him restless...
Doing his best not to wake her up, the boy slightly lifted her skirt and saw her panties. Then he realized what it was all about - the pretty girl attracted him like h.e.l.l. His young body was at that age when he could easily lose your head over a girl. And that little angel was driving him crazy.
Determined, Kyon picked up her light, warm body and headed for the exit from the treasury. It was already three in the morning, so he wasn't afraid to be discovered. He went to the second floor, pressed Yuno's wrist to the circle and entered the opened door.
The guy gently pulled the sandals off the mischievous girl, admiring her bare feet. So tender, small and cute! Then he laid her on the bed, looked at her peaceful face capable of charming any heart and against his will, tucked a lock of silky hair behind her little ear.
The feeling of hatred and desire mixed up in something so hot. It intoxicated and excited him. Once again, he was convinced that it was the right decision to purify her keys instead of killing her.
{Hmm... I wonder what she will be like in a few years. Will she conquer the hearts of the kings and emperors with just one look? Maybe I should take advantage of her wonderful beauty as debt?} – Those obsessive thoughts haunted him.
Kyon looked just below her nose, impulsively moved forward and kissed her soft, pink lips... It was impossible to tear himself from them. They tasted so sweet taste and her smell disturbed his senses. His heart was beating furiously. A mixture of anger and l.u.s.t infatuated his pent up mind and body. He was insane with desire to surrender to his craving but if the hard candy woke up, she'd become a doll. It was too soon. He wasn't ready to break her mind, and the girl was not ready for such s.e.xual pressure. She didn't take the servant as her equal. Besides, according to her, grandpa scanned his granddaughter every time she hugged him. A weird Patriarch...
Juno began to wake up, her eyebrows frowning. With great difficulty, Kyon pulled his lips from the pretty girl and cleared her key of pure energy by another 10% to her believe and obey him completely. Then he left her room with a disappointed sigh. It was time to master the element of light!
