Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 710: I’m Here Too!
Previously on Strongest Necromancer System...
Hesabeth truly lacked experience in matters of romance, marking this as the very first instance where she deliberately tried to entice a man. Previously, all the suitors she had contemplated wedding had pursued her aggressively, so infatuated that she never needed to invest any energy in charming them. Therefore, in this moment, Hesabeth couldn't comprehend what Jason meant. However, she sensed she was merely embarrassing herself with such conduct. It felt as if she abruptly recalled her identity as a regal queen and a woman of immense pride, prompting her to clear her throat before gracefully slipping away from Jason and seating herself with poise upon the bed!
Jason rose at last, and Hesabeth's gaze followed the runes etched across his form as he stretched lightly en route to one of the chamber's doors. His physique and attire had been purified, and he now donned a set of elongated white pants selected by Hesabeth herself. Even during his slumber, she had marveled at Jason's sculpted musculature, and she wouldn't refute those fleeting urges to impose herself upon him in his unconscious state. Yet Hesabeth refrained from such advances on a resting man, ultimately prevailing through her restraint. As Jason arrived at the initial door, she observed with composure. She was well aware of his intentions, yet he would face profound letdown upon discovering no escape existed from this place. Hesabeth had spoken truthfully about securing this chamber to shield Jason from severe repercussions of his Blood Metamorphosis. This realm formed an isolated dimension, severed from the broader Primordial Expanse, barring entry or exit for a predetermined duration. She had fixed that interval at precisely seven days, after which departure would become possible.
Jason proceeded toward a door on his right, addressing the system while nearing it.
'Hey, you still there?'
The system promptly issued a notification.
[Yes, the system remains operational. It has been attempting to dissect the Blood Oath ingested by the user and confirm its full integration into the user's DNA.]
Jason murmured with a faint grin, sensing tranquility wash over him while also detecting his Legion within his Alternate Dimension.
'I'm still here too, in case you were fretting! I realize you were deeply worried about me, but rest easy, young man! I'm not going anywhere! The mighty Esdeath can't be felled so simply!'
Esdeath's arrogant tone reverberated suddenly from Jason's alternate dimension, drawing an amused laugh from Jason! Typically, he'd bristle at Esdeath's irksome demeanor, but oddly, a surge of joy bloomed in his chest upon hearing the vexing fellow's voice! Over recent months, Esdeath had aided Jason immensely, even striving to grant him time during the Vympir toxin's assault on his mind, leaving Jason unable to deny his relief at the rogue's survival.
'I'm glad you're alright, Esdeath.'
'Hohoho, naturally you are. But there was no cause for concern, right? The grand and invincible Esdeath won't fall to some trivial Vympir toxin! Still, if my sacrifice inspires you to redouble your Qi cultivation efforts, by all means, proceed! I've penned additional tomes for you, so be sure to visit later and study them.'
Esdeath continued his bragging post-Jason's gratitude, eliciting a sigh from Jason at the mention of further drills! He recognized Esdeath's insistence on his regimen stemmed from a desire to preserve the Eastern Mountain Sect's legacy, yet Jason felt utterly drained to even contemplate practice now! He assured Esdeath of a visit in a day or so, cutting off further chatter by severing their link and exhaling tranquilly!
For the first time in ages, Jason faced no imminent battles, simply relishing his endurance through the chaos! He grasped the door latch, swung it open to glance within, and arched an eyebrow upon discovering a spacious bath and lavatory! Vast enough for ten individuals to bathe simultaneously without crowding! What in the world? Shaking his head, Jason shut the door, pivoted to another, and queried the system.
'Scan Hesabeth's statements and verify her account of this realm. Prioritize the Blood Metamorphosis and the required isolation period for its completion.'
The system replied swiftly.
[Hesabeth's assertion that the user requires isolation to fully integrate the administered Blood Oath holds true. Every Dead Apostle receiving a Blood Oath underwent this procedure, with skippers exhibiting heightened bloodlust and impulsivity. Nevertheless, the system's integration in the user's form, coupled with the user's Avaran Genetics, has drastically shortened the full Metamorphosis timeline, rendering the user ready for the external world in merely three days. Regrettably, Hesabeth lacks knowledge of the system, thus her decision to confine the user in this pocket dimension was reasonable.]
Jason scowled at that concluding remark. So Metamorphosis could conclude in three days, but due to Hesabeth's ignorance, he'd endure seven? Absurd! He flung open the second door, stunned to find an expansive kitchen stocked with tools and rune-inscribed storage vessels! Jason deciphered the runes instantly, deducing their purposes in food preservation! Cooling runes, warming runes, and stasis runes to halt spoilage entirely! Yet that wasn't the true surprise! Rather, his eyes fixed on the trio of diminutive beings bustling through the kitchen with seamless efficiency!
The figures donned cloaks of red, yellow, and blue hues apiece! The garments enveloped them fully, hoods shrouding their features, leaving Jason blind to their appearances. Short-statured like dwarves, they halted upon spotting him, pivoting to bow in unison. Jason chuckled. Hesabeth's attendants, perhaps? Adorably quaint.
"Those three are my caretakers. I've had them with me since I was just a little girl. If you need anything at all, then don't hesitate to tell them, and I'm sure they can find a way to make it happen."
Hesabeth approached from Jason's rear, encircling his waist with an arm as she aligned beside him. He glanced down at her, eyebrow lifted, met by her assured smile. The timid girl pleading for his attention mere moments prior had vanished, replaced by the bold queen unabashedly declaring her desire! Jason shook his head at her boldness, then strode toward the room's last door.
