Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 791: How Did You Enter A Relationship With Her!?

Jason observed the two women exchanging pleasantries with a smile, then turned his attention to the two guards standing at a discreet distance. Talum and Gruwen visibly tensed as Jason's gaze fell upon them. He approached them with a calm demeanor, hands tucked into his pockets.

"King Slayer. It is indeed an honor to stand before you once more," Talum stammered, his voice tight with respect.

"An honor it is," Gruwen added, echoing his sentiment.

Both soldiers executed a deep bow as they greeted Jason. He rested a hand on his chin, a thoughtful hum escaping him as he surveyed them. The longer Jason's scrutiny lingered, the more palpable their fear became. These soldiers had grown accustomed to Jason's immense power before his journey across the Primordial Expanse, a power they knew could easily devastate their world without him exerting himself. Yet, his current strength felt utterly transformed, almost alien. The sheer intensity of his aura was so overwhelming it felt suffocating. As SS Ranks, they were no match for Jason, a TITAN Rank III. No matter how much he tried to suppress it, his power made him seem like an eldritch monstrosity to the Radagan soldiers.

Just as the soldiers were about to inquire if they had committed some offense, their faces flushing under his piercing gaze, Jason suddenly brought his fist into his open palm. A look of sudden understanding dawned on his face as he exclaimed,

"Ah, I see what has changed. You two are in a relationship, aren't you?"

Both soldiers' faces turned crimson at his words. Gruwen immediately averted her gaze, an intense wave of embarrassment washing over her. Talum, stammering, confirmed their relationship. Jason grinned, recalling a prophecy Riyala had shared long ago. It foretold that these two would be instrumental in giving birth to the next Radagan King. With them already a couple, marriage and a child would surely follow. Riyala would then be able to properly guide the next king. Jason placed a hand on each soldier's shoulder, and they looked up in surprise as they noticed his kind smile.

"I am genuinely happy for you both. I am certain you will make a wonderful couple. However, I trust you will not forget my earlier warning. Should I detect even the slightest hint of betrayal towards Riyala, it will be your undoing."

Talum and Gruwen had been smiling moments before, but their faces turned ashen as Jason's aura abruptly shifted into a threatening one. They swallowed hard, nodding quickly and earnestly promising they would never betray the priestess. Jason hummed, his gaze fixed on them for a few more seconds before he finally nodded and turned away, hearing Riyala call his name.

Riyala and Gina were now holding hands, beaming with joy. Jason grinned and strode over, scooping them both into a powerful bear hug. He kissed Gina, then turned to kiss Riyala as well. "Are you two finished with your chat?" he inquired.

Riyala nodded eagerly. "Gina was telling me about some of the worlds you visited together! It sounds incredible! I want to hear all about the rest!"

Jason let out a hearty laugh and set his girls down. "We can talk about it after the trial is done," he said. The mention of the trial was enough to sober both of them up. Gina let out a tired sigh, her attempt to hide her irritation failing. She couldn't wait for this ordeal to end so they could return home. While Gina cherished her time with Jason, she couldn't deny her longing for her parents and Mira. In truth, she even missed that tiny terror, Maya! Gina yearned to see how everyone was faring and to share the news of Jason's proposal. Noticing her frustration, Jason gently petted Gina's head and turned to Riyala as she spoke up.

"Oh, that's right. I encountered someone on my way down here. Do you know Queen Hesabeth, the Prideful Queen? We met in the hallway, and after she learned who I was, she had the strangest reaction. She actually smiled at me and declared we were family. Whatever happened between you two?"

Riyala's expression was contorted with bewilderment as she awaited a response. The encounter Riyala experienced with Hesabeth was far beyond anything Riyala had ever anticipated! Riyala was quite familiar with the tales surrounding the Prideful Queen and her notorious reputation! Hesabeth was widely known for being exceedingly arrogant, disdainful, and prone to swift anger! It was said that merely being in Hesabeth's proximity could provoke her ire, and incurring Hesabeth's fury meant your life was effectively forfeit! Yet, Hesabeth herself had initiated contact with Riyala earlier, and the manner in which she addressed Riyala during Riyala's attempt at a formal greeting was even more peculiar!

"There's no need for such formalities between family, my dear. You and I will be spending considerable time together in the future, so I believe it's only proper that we foster a friendly relationship. Now, come, embrace me."

Riyala's eyes actually widened in astonishment when Hesabeth, of all people, embraced her! It was virtually unheard of for Hesabeth to even offer a handshake, let alone an embrace! Therefore, for her to hug Riyala signified that a profoundly world-altering event must have transpired! The instant Riyala brought this up with Jason, he couldn't suppress a slight chuckle, and even Gina offered a smile of mild amusement. Jason found it difficult to comprehend Hesabeth's newfound propensity for hugging people out of sheer joy! Shaking his head, Jason candidly explained to Riyala.

"A great many things occurred between Hesabeth and myself over these past few days, and she ultimately became my third partner."

Riyala's face flushed crimson, and she instinctively covered her mouth with a gasp. Riyala was not taken aback by Jason acquiring a third partner! Riyala had already assured Jason that his number of partners was of no concern to her! If Jason desired a hundred women, he had her full blessing! It would not alter her feelings for him in the slightest! No, the true shock stemmed from Hesabeth's identity as Jason's newest partner! Hesabeth was the absolute last individual Riyala would have ever considered calling a sister-wife! Not only was Hesabeth a member of the council and one of the most formidable and influential figures within the Primordial Expanse! But Hesabeth was also an entity born from the Primordial Expanse itself! Hesabeth possessed the ability to command the end of the world, and the world would, in fact, comply with her decree! And this was the woman Jason had just taken as his partner!?

"I've heard numerous accounts concerning Hesabeth, and none of them painted a favorable picture. How on earth did you manage to get close to her?"

Jason smirked upon hearing the sheer incredulity in Riyala's voice! Jason was aware that Hesabeth did not exactly possess the most stellar reputation among the surrounding worlds, but he also knew that none of those individuals truly knew the authentic Hesabeth. Hesabeth was a being who commanded unimaginable power, and the very fact that she refrained from wielding it maliciously demonstrated that Hesabeth was, in essence, a benevolent person. Jason leaned down, planting a kiss on Riyala's temple, and assured her that he would provide a complete explanation later. Their immediate priority was reaching the Hall of Fallen Heroes for the trial. Riyala's eyes sparkled as she suddenly recalled their intended purpose, her cheeks flushing slightly before she nodded in agreement!

Jason once again took Gina's hand as they resumed their walk, and Riyala, with a broad smile, moved to link her arm through Jason's other one. The two escorts then joined Stella, following closely behind the trio of lovers as they collectively proceeded towards the Hall of Fallen Heroes.
