Hearts

"So, how would you help me practice with the Sword of Annihilation?" I ask Primsa while sitting back down on the solid water chair.

"It would be similar to when I helped you awaken your Nuru. I'll summon a doll or two, making them take the form and use the magic of powerful fallen Lyna. Then you'd fight them, but this time I might change them if you get used to their fighting styles." Prisma replies and I nod.

"Wait." I say as I realize something I should've done sooner. "Why do I still have my Devil skills and Nuru if Kurdes is dead?" I ask and he smiles.

"Verona explained this to you, I believe. Kurdes created Devils by giving them a piece of himself. But the only way he could recollect them was when a Devil died. That's why he killed the Devil of Temptation. So you'll keep that piece of him until you die. Then it'll leave your body and disappear as Kurdes's soul did."

"That's good. I'd hate to relearn how to fly." I say and he chuckles.

"Let's call it here tonight." Prisma says after a few seconds of silence. "Come back tomorrow night and we'll start your training with the Sword of Annihilation." He says before I sink into the water. I wake up hours later to the sound of someone humming. I open my eyes and sit up.

"Good morning." Liz says while stopping her humming.

"Good morning. It's rare to see you here this early, any reason?" I ask her while getting up.

"I just wanted to check how you were doing. The Dryads won't come through the portal unless I assure them you're doing better. That and I wanted to see this scar Asami was telling me about." She replies and I chuckle.

"Is it really that interesting?" I ask and she nods. I sigh and lift up my shirt, showing her the scar on my chest.

"Does it bother you?" She asks me and I shake my head no.

"Not really. What about you, does it bother you?" I ask back and she smiles.

"Nope, I like it. It's like a reminder that you've slain a Dark God." She says while gently running her hand on the scar. Her saying that reminds me of the two hearts in my inventory.

"Master! Wake u..." Asami says, opening the door and stopping when she sees us. "Master! Good morning. It's time for breakfast." She says before turning and leaving.

"C'mon mister. Let's go." Liz says while following Asami out. I follow them and sit at the table. Asami, Liz, Luna, Innu, and Ramia are all here. Asami tells me that she's bought the land near the Guildhall. It'll take a few days for all the paperwork to go through though. I thank her and quickly eat before getting up. I leave to my apartment to shower. Once I'm in I open my notifications.

I accept the quests before opening my inventory. I use Observe on my heart and the Demon God's Heart.

Eric Steele's Heart Lvl ???, Mythos

This Heart belongs to the Mythos, Eric Steele. It contains a massive amount of his mana. It can be Enchanted, Brewed, or Combined with other items to infuse them with his mana. It will have a variety of effects depending on the item and method it's infused with. It can only be infused into objects of a similar rank.

Demon Gods Heart Lvl ???, Mythical

This Heart belonged to the Dark God, Kurdes. He was the Demon God and could create several powerful minions known as Devils. This Heart contains his unique God magic. Depending on what it's infused in, it could grant its wielder the ability to use his magic. It can only be infused into objects of a similar rank.

I can't help but smile, already knowing what to do with the Hearts. I finish showering and return to my Domain. I find it empty and take out my phone. I see I missed a text notification from Asami. She probably sent it while I was Observing the Hearts. She says the deliveries got here a bit earlier than she thought. So she and the others went out to get started on them. I return to the Guildhall. Since it's where I last entered my Domain, aside from the designated exit, I can still return to it. I appear in the doorway at the entrance. I see the delivery people looking shocked and start to panic.

"I told you not to do that again!" I hear Luna shout. I look and see she's punched one of them and that's why they looked shocked. I sigh in relief before panic takes me over again. Why did Luna punch someone? I think before running down to her. I see Liz, Asami, and Innu next to her. They're holding her back as the person she punched is getting up.

"What's going on?" I ask Asami.

"Luna just punched this guy out of nowhere. I don't know why though." She replies and I look over at Luna. The man she punched looks at me and I notice a smirk appear on his face.

"Are you her boss?" He asks me while stepping forward.

"Sure, what happened here?" I ask him and Luna starts shouting before the man can respond.

"He slapped my ass! Twice!" She says and the man quickly starts shaking his head no.

"No, I didn't. I will admit, my hand did accidentally graze her waste. But I wouldn't call that a slap." He replies and I turn to Asami.

"I assume this guy's lying, right?" I whisper, wanting to know if he is before doing anything. Knowing Luna, he could've gotten a bit flirty and then grazed her. But I doubt she'd punch him hard enough to knock him over just for that. Asami nods and I turn back to him.

"So, how are you going to pay me back for this?" He asks while pointing to the red mark on his face. It's starting to swell and I sigh.

"Just to confirm, you said your hand grazed her, right?" I ask and he nods.

"Al-Eric, what are you doing!?" Luna asks and Asami pats her shoulder.

"Yes, that's all that happened. But no one else saw. The other women here were inside. And my coworkers here were turning the truck around. We were told you had other trucks coming and had to move so they could unload too. So there wasn't anyone else who could see it." He says and I nod.

"Then could I ask you to wait here for a while? But don't start unloading your furniture yet." I say causing him to look at me in confusion.
