BXBX NOVEL Chapter 112: Lorelie's Confession
[Jf you\'re a natural contractor of the Anti-Aether energy, it should be willing to leave her dying body and inhabit yours.]
[t\'s like an infection, remember? It will spread to you, so far it determines you to be a worthy host!] the system said to him as Nolan\'s eyebrows furrowed.
"Intense physical connection?" he muttered to himself as his eyes subconsciously moved to Loelrie\'s pale lips.
Nolan felt a bit of doubt and guilt at what he was supposed to do, finding it a bit wrong without her permission.
But the fact was that she was dying reinforcd his will.
If Loelrie had to choose between getting kissed and dying, which would she have picked?
The choice was obvious.
And so, he forced down the guilt he felt in his heart and leaned forward, his lips gently making contact with hers, with his eyes soon shutting closed.
Silence reigned until after a minute when the system notification immediately blared to life.
[WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!]
[An incredibly dangerous and unknown energy entity is trying to infiltrate the host\'s system.]
[Entity\'s danger level is being calculated...]
[Calculation done!]
[Warning! Entity has a 90% chance of dealing devastating damage to the host!]
[Does the host wish to allow the entity into the host\'s system or not?]
[Important System Warning: The system advises the host to refuse this entity as fast as possible!]
The notification blared as the sound of a sharp inhale rang out and Lorelie opened her eyes to find her a pair of warm lips locking with hers.
While her senses screamed at her to push him away due to an abnormality that it had never experienced before, her mind allowed it and Nolan made a decision in his mind while parting his lips.
"Allow the energy in!"
[Host has given permission for the energy to come in! Energy transfer will now begin!]
The alarm blared, and instantly, a sharp moan escaped Lorelei\'s lips as her almond eyes flashed with a strange dark color.
A second later, and a substance rose up from within her eyes as Loelrie herself collapsed to the ground.
Yet her eyes widened in shock when she sighted the flowing object or gaseous substance in the air.
How could she not remember it?
That object which appears to her every time she closes her eyes, haunting her in her deepest nightmares.
How could she not recognize it at the first instance?
Immediately, she felt something change for her.
Something like a long-lost connection once again returning to her.
She couldn\'t explain how, just that she felt connected back to something.
But she paid not much attention to that as she watched the object in the air instantly soar forward with speed.
"Nooo!!!!" Loelrie screamed, her hands reaching out, but they failed as the entity slammed into Nolan\'s body, quickly disappearing within.
[Dangerous entity has been loaded into the system\'s body.]
[Entity has begun corrupting host cells.]
[Host might begin to experience some involuntary changes in the next few minutes.]
The system alerted him as Nolan\'s eyes flashed, and he felt a chill in his heart, his skin hair rising at their ends.
He didn\'t know why, but he felt he was about to go through the worst hell of his life soon enough.
"Why??"
The voice of Lorelie, who had multicolored tears once more streaming down her face, woke him up as Nolan looked at her neck and found her blood still flowing out
Although it was very much less compared to before, and it only confirmed to Nolan that the infection really tried to speed up her death.
Immediately, he moved his hand towards her head, a white wave of essence gathering up, and Loreliie felt an incredibly warm and soothing energy flowing into her system.
With visible speed, all her injuries and the numbness which she felt faded away, and even her skin repaired itself, including the wounds which she had inflicted upon herself.
But looking at Nolan, she could see he was far from okay as purple veins were beginning to appear all over his neck and face, and his teeth were gritted together as if he was barely keeping something in.
[That\'s enough, Nolan. She\'s alive.]
The system said to Nolan, whose teeth grinded together as he transferred every last vestige of his divine essence into Lorelie\'s body, only taking off his hands when he saw her neck injury finally close up and become as crystal clear as he could formerly remember it when he saw her.
"Why??" Lorelie asked as she tried rising, but Nolan\'s hand on her remained, keeping her on the ground.
"You\'ve yet to be healed. Don\'t move around, and don\'t leave the mountain. Things are not very peaceful outside..."
Read first on m|v|l|e|m|p|y|r.
He warned before rising up to leave.
"But wait, what about you?" she tried asking, and Nolan moved out without an answer, but his hand was grabbed before he could completely leave, by none other than Loelrie.
Finally, he turned to look into her almond blue eyes, which were quickly regaining their light.
"I...I love you, Nolan." She suddenly called out, all for a sudden, her eyes displaying fierce conviction, and that shocked Nolan beyond belief.
And he simply stared back at her dazedly, even through the mind-numbing pain that he was feeling in his body.
"So promise me. Promise me that you will return to me. Please..." she begged with tears, and Nolan rested his hand on hers.
"I promise, I\'ll be fine, and will return to you soon."
"Now relax, and don\'t exit the mountain. Do you understand?" he said to her with a reassuring smile, but Lorelie knew he was far from okay, as she could see the veins on his face was starting to morph into something hideous.
"Okay..." she reluctantly said as she released his hand, and Nolan sprinted off, hurriedly jumping back onto the pool that led out of the exit.
"Fast... fast!!" Nolan screamed to himself like a deranged beast, water gathering into his throat, but he ignored that as he hurriedly tried to run out of the mountain Loelrie was in.
And quickly he arrived before the blocked exite, touching it like he remembered and the mountain opened up allowing him exit.
Instantly, he collapsed on both knees, grabbing his hair and forcefully pulling them out before...
