Chapter 640 - Vanished (1/2)
”Him?” Nik and Ray had their legs down from the edge of a skyscr.a.p.er while viewings the city from the top. Catching the floating picture before it flew away due to wind, Nik gazed at the faceless figure dressed in black. Seeing Nik's stunned expression, Ray smiled with a humorous emotion, ”See? I told ya that this guy is a living nightmare. With him boasting of being the only magician and then disappearing after Wilson Fisk's announcement, he could have carved himself a set of eyes at least.”
”First of all,” Nik handed back the picture, ”If Garuk had a set of eyes and no other features, he would look even more terrifying. Just imagine it. Second, I hunted the man down and destroyed him so... yeah, I gobbled your prey, platonically.”
”You... killed him?” Ray furrowed his brows while letting go of the picture and making it fly away. ”Yeah, he was slightly troublesome but I was getting paid. It was worth it,” Nik chuckled while Ray's shoulder slumped with his gaze turning eerie. ”I see... yeah, devils are real troublesome...” Not minding whatever trouble Ray's phantom clone had found himself in, Nik turned more curious and inquired about Yar's situation. From what Nik knew, Yar did hold slight affection for him... or else she would have wanted to f.u.c.k his ass and not let him f.u.c.k her but that was about it and for the sake of past enjoyment, she would've jumped out Ray even if it was to greet him.
Sighing at Nik's inquiry, Ray smiled, ”Yiu have evolved your bloodline once, so you are familiar with the happening when we chose to evolve both, our spirit and physical bloodline, right?” Ray looked towards Nik as the apostle nodded.
”From what I experienced, the spirit evolves into the targetted bloodline and then directs the newly established neutral gene to affect the bloodline. Although, it never factored various mutation a person can introduce...” Nik's gaze flickered while this time, Ray was the one to pay the man no heed. In their group, Brian was the brawny one despite his origins, Nik was the nerdy one— at least, that's what Ray thought— and finally, Ray was the popular one, which was highly doubtful since it was Nik's soul that the ancestors salivated upon.
”So, just like you, I decided to break free from Mirage's confinement and chose to pursue a bloodline tailored for me. Fortunately, I didn't lose Yar but that she's going through a heavy modification and is slumbering within me from the moment I completed my spiritual evolution.”
”So... Yar didn't have a go with Daredevil?” Nik inquired as Ray shook his head, ”Just my l.u.s.t clones. They enjoy themselves a little too much,” Ray grinned while Nik continued, ”And what about the Lucky Demon who's caught your attention?”
”His name is Mephisto,” Ray replied, ”My ninja organization, The Hand, is actually a massive cult created to prepare suitable bodies that can hold the strength of the Demon and let him enjoy the world in his twisted ways. Apparently, Hell's not that enjoyable... technically, we still call it the nether realm.”
”So,” Nik concluded, ”The main task of your organization is to find appropriate flesh suits?”
”No,” Ray corrected, ”to create one. See, Mephisto has this simple and unsophisticated plan. He'll take over the bodies that don't crumble under his power and will start f.u.c.k.i.n.g the breeding section of the organization prepared to house the natural-born devil. However, no success whatsoever.”
”Then tell me again why would he help you evolve?” Nik inquired.
”Well, it's either he thinks himself to be too smart that I was unable to sense his essence with the bloodline that I, of course, isolated, or... he still isn't aware of the Transmigration Heart and the fact that my real body has enjoyed the same benefits without any conspiracy. My bet is on the latter. As for the frontal excuse, the devil shouted for me to be his...”
”His what?” Nik inquired.
”Mortal Concubine, he said,” Ray mumbled making Nik laugh out instantly and oh so hard that he had to hold his stomach while his jaws ached.
”Damn!” Nik wheezed, ”It was the right decision to meet with you. Haven't had a laugh this great!”
”Oh, shut up,” Ray rolled his eyes while the fact that Mephisto had some sort of sinister plan for him only solidified after sending him to a wild goose chase of a dead man but that was the least of his trouble. Just the fact that he now had a bloodline not controlled by Mirage made the adventure worth it.
”Anyway, wanna hear the name I chose for my bloodline?” Ray inquired to which Nik shrugged.
