Bam!

Aer was left in shock at what had happened to her.

She felt a force pull her to the floor, forcing her to crouch. She placed her hand on the floor, trying to force herself back up.

"What is this?!" She groaned, fighting back with the force that had a great toll on her.

Letting out a sigh, Nix smiled as he was finally able to hear her voice which only confirmed his suspicions earlier.

'She was levitating.' He concluded his thoughts.

Unable to hold on much longer, Aer's arms weakened and she let go, the force slamming her to the ground, causing rubles to fly up in the air.

Tzzzn!

Nix looked to the left as a source of light illuminated the once dark enclosure.

Tzzzn!

Nix looked behind him as another source of light illuminated, causing the room to get brighter.

Stretching out his arms, he let out a satisfying breath of relief at getting the one thing he missed– being able to see once more.

"There's nothing like light needed to brighten up one's day," Nix spoke as he looked down at Aer who had scratch marks from the initial struggle.

'What do I do with you?' He rubbed his chin as he took a leg over her. With both legs by her side, he squatted so he could have a better look at her face.

"Actually you don't look that bad." He commented with a nod. He was about to pull her up and throw her over his shoulder when he heard a noise, one that was coming at a distance.

His eyes widened in shock at an incoming weapon attack.

At just the right moment, he caught sight of the weapon coming at him, he looked behind him for possible ways for him to escape.

"Don't bother, it's a dead end." Aer's eyes opened, revealing she had faked being unconscious, just to draw him out in the right place.

Her hands gripped his leg tightly and her legs crossed over him to keep him in place, her pink eyes glowing and waiting for the right moment before he would be hit by her projectile.

Nix grimaced from the tight grip on his leg. Raising his other leg, he gave Aer a kick to her stomach. To his dismay, she had created a magic circle that had blocked his kick, leaving her unharmed.

"Ha!" She laughed at his effort.

"Let go of me, you narcissistic psycho!" Nix yelled, angered that she had shown no sign of letting go of him. Her grip was frighteningly strong and almost suicidal.

Looking down he gritted his teeth at the annoying magic circle he was standing on, wondering how she had managed to cast it with such speed.

'You've got to be kidding me!' He yelled in his thoughts in frustration.

This experience only scarred his mindset on how he viewed females in this world.

Trying to use his hand to grab hold of her, but since his legs couldn't move, he cursed at her counterattack to his action.

She created a magic barrier around her and his leg, preventing him from holding her while she prepared for the worse that was yet to come.

"I would be as stupid as possible so you can love me." She snickered, clutching onto his leg firmly and maintaining her hold on it while focusing the majority of her ability on keeping it that way.

"Are you trying to kill us both?!" He freaked out, trying his hardest to move but couldn't.

"Are you afraid of dying?" She countered, a devilish smirk on her lips as she spoke.

'Afraid of dying is an understatement,' Nix rolled his eyes at her question, more focused on how he was going to break free from the bondage he was in.

Time wasn't enough for him to dodge this attack if his leg was still magically fixated to the spot.

'It's official, you're on my shitty list.' He thought, noting down her name and face in his mind.

Once he gets out of this somehow, he was going to make sure she regrets messing with him. He would do far worse than what Lank had done to Ayanami.

'No mercy!' was his motto as he thought of the possible options that were laid out to him.

[Congratulations, you have unlocked the shit list]

Even though Nix was in such a life-threatening situation, it took all it had in him not to burst out in laughter at what the interface had written.

No matter how he thought about it, it was better said than reading. 'Shit list, huh?!'

"Let's die together." Aer interrupted his line of thought, she felt glad that she had finally gotten a way of outsmarting and killing a fire rank.

Nix raised the corner of his lips in disgust at the smirk on her pink lips.

"Maybe in the afterlife we would-be lovers." She said on one final note.

"Uproot and bury that forsaken thought from your mind," Nix growled in response, agitated by all she had said from the onset.

"It's too late to dispute, don't you think?" Aer wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

The Fūma Shuriken's blades cut through the air with a hissing sound. There was little reaction time.

Sweat dripping, he was a little anxious about taking the only possible way. Left with no choice, he activated another skill of his passive gift.

'I'm so going to regret this later on.' He internally facepalmed at what he was going to do next. If it meant preserving his life, he was going to incorporate it immediately.

[Passive gift: Telekinetic Maneuver in effect]

Altering the Fūma Shuriken's directional course, it was deflected, one of its blades plunging into the ground with a hard thrust.

Aer's eyes were closed as she had prepared to die, but when what she had heard nor felt nothing happen, she opened her eyes, confused.

Knocking on her barrier to get her attention. "Hello there, it would seem that the afterlife only has one slot."
