Elven Legacy

Chapter 77: Interest and Dislike.

"So, May, how about introducing me to your beautiful friend?" Asked Comet while looking at Elif's floating figure almost lustfully.

"P-Prince Elif isn't a-." Exclaimed May quickly with concern, though she was interrupted.

"I'm a man, so stop looking at me like that; it feels greatly uncomfortable." Stated Elif as he flew closer to Comet and scanned him with his divine sense, only to find nothing.

"M-My apologies, Sir. Elif." Said Comet, nearly vomiting in disgust from looking at a man like that.

"It's Prince Elif to you, and you seem uncharacteristically calm when standing before a Royal Elf." Said Elif while intensely scrutinizing him.

"Am I not supposed to be calm, Prince Elif?" Asked Comet in confusion.

"It depends. Are you from the OverRealm?" Asked Elif, though Comet had stopped paying attention when he noticed Idonea appearing out of nowhere.

"I'm Comet; It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss." Said Comet, trying to act seductively, but without his system to help him, he wasn't good at flirting, not like the system would've worked on Idonea in the first place.

I don't know if I'm just being biased, but humans are a challenging race to deal with; each one is concupiscent, angry, greedy, and just plain annoying. I would've preferred if I had arrived in a realm inhabited by any other species at this point.

"I'm not asking again; are you from the OverRealm or not?" Asked Elif, appearing between Comet and Idonea, who had completely ignored him.

"Nope. Never heard of this OverRealm you speak of. Do they have beautiful women, though?" Said Comet, to which Elif promptly ignored.

"So then tell me, how does this make any sense? Your soul is much older than your body, and not only that, it seems to be in turmoil. You have pure Immortal Qi, which is even hard to come by in the OverRealm. You're a Nascent Soul cultivator, yet it looked like it was your second time fighting during the battle you just had. While everything I said sounds normal and would arouse no suspicion, that's only if I was in the OverRealm, where things like that are ordinary; however, down in this wasteland, just one of those things would arouse someone's interest, yet for it to happen three times to a single person. Very suspicious if you ask me." Stated Elif as he floated around Comet with a gleam of curiosity, while Comet started feeling awkward and nervous.

"Now that you mention it, how you fought looked quite comical compared to your usual battles." Commented May while looking at Comet, though she didn't feel nearly as suspicious as Elif.

"W-Well, my head has always been in pain for as long as I can remember, and I guess I just have a special physique that purifies the Qi in my body, and I wasn't fighting for real against those guys; I was merely toying with them." Replied Comet, feeling nervous and slightly scared.

Floating circles around Comet, I saw how his nervousness and fear, which had accumulated, suddenly began vanishing, much to my confusion. Stopping in front of him, I saw him smiling while staring directly at me, yet at the same time, I knew he wasn't actually looking at me; he was looking at something else, yet whatever he was looking at was evading my senses as I couldn't find anything. With a slight smile of interest, I suddenly lunged forward at a speed only Idonea was capable of sensing and swiped the space right in front of Comet, causing a tear in space to appear before it quickly mended itself as I retreated to my original spot; all while doing this at speeds no one should be capable of detecting. Yet, right when I returned to my original spot, Comet suddenly backed away and got into a fighting position while a sword appeared in his hand from nothingness, much to May's anger.

"Why did you just attack me!?" Said Comet, looking at Elif fiercely as he held his sword, giving off a demeanor like an almost entirely different person.
