Chapter 109: The Magic Sword That Can Control Desire
This discovery didn’t make Airael feel happy right away.
Instead, it felt rather abrupt.
How could just doing something on a whim lead to a breakthrough?
Airael mentally replayed what had just happened.
The whole process seemed perfectly normal, like two love-struck couples.
Though she hadn’t known Axi for very long, that didn’t seem to matter.
She just acted on her feelings.
As that thought crossed her mind, Airael froze.
Immediately, a layer of cold sweat broke out over her.
She shouldn’t have been so reckless.
But just now, she had clumsily been with Axi.
She didn’t see herself as such a hasty person.
Even if she chose to date Axi, it shouldn’t have escalated so quickly.
Was this really her own issue?
Had she been too eager?
Airael shook her head.
Even after being a maiden for hundreds of years, she was sure she wasn’t that easy.
Not just her, but Axi wasn’t the type to act so casually either.
Yet here they were, two not-so-casual people, doing something utterly ridiculous without a thought.
She needed to sort through her thoughts step by step.
If it wasn’t her desperate craving, then why did she act this way?
It seemed there was only one answer.
She had unknowingly been manipulated or influenced mentally.
And it wasn’t just her; perhaps Axi was too.
They had both been unknowingly controlled.
Then another question arose.
Why would that person make them do such a thing? That’s just downright wicked!
If that were the case…
Airael was flooded with overwhelming anger.
That person really deserved to die!
But right after, Airael was doused with cold water.
She realized that the one who could invisibly control her and Axi must be an incredibly formidable individual.
If she hadn’t had her breakthrough, she might never have noticed.
She would have continued blissfully enjoying the joy of love with Axi.
There’s no denying that some activities could indeed bring immense pleasure, but in this situation, Airael truly couldn’t feel happy.
Feeling extremely down, Airael climbed off Axi’s bed, quickly putting on her scattered clothes.
Throughout the entire process, she maintained a cold expression on her face.
Axi looked at Airael, who suddenly changed her demeanor, and asked, “Ailia, what’s wrong?”
As she hastily dressed, Airael glanced at Axi.
Seeing Axi, who appeared oblivious, she sighed internally.
This game is getting increasingly complicated!
“It’s nothing, I’m just a bit hungry and want to grab something to eat.”
After contemplating, Airael chose not to share her suspicions with Axi.
After all, that moment was a lovely memory between them.
Excluding the possibility of being manipulated, Airael didn’t harbor any dislike for Axi.
Besides, this was truly unbelievable.
Would Axi believe her if she spoke out?
“Well then, let’s go together; I’m feeling a bit hungry too.”
Saying this, Axi gave a slight smile and got up from the bed.
Noticing something, Airael quickly turned around.
Her delicate face flushed with embarrassment.
Her gaze fell on the two swords Axi had left on the coffee table.
One sword was just an ordinary decent sword, but the other was noticeably different at that moment.
The sword that had been strapped to Axi’s back was now emanating an aura of desire.
Airael felt as if she was seeing things.
How could a sword do that?
She rubbed her eyes.
That sword was still giving off the aura of desire and trying to influence her.
Magic Sword!
That term popped into Airael’s mind instantly.
Of course, this magic sword wasn’t merely a magical sword.
While it had some magic on it, those were of a dark nature.
Then, Airael connected the dots between the magic sword and what had just occurred.
Was it because of this magic sword?
As Airael pondered, Axi had dressed and walked over to her.
Noticing Airael staring at his sword, he too glanced over.
However, at that moment, the magic sword no longer radiated its aura of desire.
Therefore, Axi didn’t notice anything amiss.
Airael looked thoughtfully at Axi.
Then she made a rather bold move.
She pulled Axi closer and, on tiptoes, kissed him on the lips.
While kissing, her eyes darted toward the magic sword.
The magic sword once again emitted its aura of desire, influencing both her and Axi.
However, the breakthrough Airael had achieved gave her a resistance to it, and being cautious, she didn’t fall victim.
Axi, on the other hand, was completely engrossed and unable to extricate himself.
Responding to Airael’s initiative, he kissed back.
In that moment, Airael finally understood what was going on.
It was all because of this magic sword.
This magic sword could control people’s desires.
If she and Axi had a normal relationship, there might have been no issue.
But once they exposed any abnormal thoughts, the magic sword could take advantage.
Now that she had realized the cause, Airael didn’t plan to continue their little act.
If they went on, she was afraid Axi would just take care of it himself.
She couldn’t handle that.
Airael struggled to push Axi away.
As Axi was pushed back, his expression gradually cleared.
He was completely unaware of the magic sword’s influence over him.
Airael looked at Axi and said, “Axi, before we go out to eat, I need to tell you something.”
“What is it?”
“Just how much do you know about that sword?”
Airael pointed at the now-normal magic sword.
“Why are you asking this?”
Axi gave a puzzled expression when Airael questioned him about the sword he had been carrying behind his back.
What’s the reason for asking such a thing?
“This sword is a magic sword! Do you understand? It can influence a person’s mind, and most importantly, it can lead people to fall from grace.”
Looking at Axi, who seemed completely unaware, Airael felt her emotions flare intensely.
Just now, they had unknowingly been affected by the magic sword.
“Magic sword!”
Axi exclaimed in shock.
How could it be a magic sword?
Sitting on the sofa, after listening to Airael’s explanation, Axi looked at the wrapped sword with a solemn expression.
“If you don’t believe me, we can test it out.”
Airael looked at him and said.
