Chapter 141: A Brand New Day... Empress Awakens

A brand new day... However things were far from what one would anticipate.

Around six in the morning, Olivia was the first to stir away.

She usually woke up by this time back at home, before beginning her preparations ahead of school.

It had become something of an instinctive action for her, and today wasnt any different despite the events that transpired the previous night. And the many rounds of sex she had endured.

The moment she woke up, she was initially disoriented before gradually, the memories of the previous night crashed into her mind like a tidal wave.

She massaged her forehead as she gently raised her head from my chest.

She stared at my peacefully sleeping face, her eyes lingering on my lips for a second longer, before the cool, morning breeze brushing against her tight, hard nipples, and her fait, supple skin, brought her back to reality.

Olivia let out a low, exhausted breath, not wanting to wake anyone up, as she slowly dragged herself off the bed.

Just then, she felt something cold, and... intense on her skin.

The sensation was more chilly than the wind and it made goosebumps rise all the way up her spine.

Olivia immediately turned and noticed the beautiful woman her master had brought the previous day, staring at her without much of an emotion on her face.

However, the rising chilly sensation in the room, spoke otherwise.

Olivia didnt know why, but she instinctively swallowed.

"H... hi? Good morning." She forced a smile onto her face and stood up, her naked proportions coming into full view.

They were all Lucien’s women, so she didnt feel much averseness towards the young lady see her naked body.

When the empress didnt reply her and instead just continued staring at her coldly, she frowned a little. But didnt add anything more.

She’d tried to be friendly, but the empress hadn’t rpelied in kind, so she decided to go about her day.

With a stretch of her hand, the shadows in the surroundings twisted, gradually coalescing until it formed something akin to a lady, black nightgown that hugged her sexy figure, perfectly covering all her private parts.

Despite the fact that the shadow seemed as though it might disperse at any moment, one couldnt see through it in the slightest. It completely concealed olivia’s breast, ass and pubic region.

"That’s... darkness... and it’s quite low ranked..." the empress muttered under her breath as she noticed this sight.

She couldnt recall the last time she saw a darkness element user.

It was one of the few powerful elements so after stealing it for herself she slaughtered all the darkness elements users. It was surprising seeing someone with the darkness element.

Subconsciously, the thought of killing Olivia appeared in her mind, and she instinctively reached towards her asernal of abilities, but she found that...

It had gone?

The empress let out a startled sound and focused inwards.

Her eyes narrowed. She was shocked to discover that all her abilities had become vague illusions in her mind.

She could reach out towards the weaker ones like sss-rank flames, wind, telekinesis, but majority of her extra ordinary abilities appeared to be devoid of life.

She couldnt access them at all.

’What’s... happening?’ The empress still appeared relatively calm.

In the ancient era, the gods made a mistake and she was born.

The empress was born into a declining dynasty, and she possessed one of the most unique abilities.

She could steal other’s abilities.

It wasnt something as grand as controlling space, darkness or even time, but she acknowledged the potentials her abilities possessed.

As long as her mental strength grew stronger she could steal these abilities.

It started with a weak f-rank fire ability, and eventually reached the legendary time control ability.

’How far into the future did I travel?’ The empress glanced around.

She recalled facing the gods, and realizing it was pointless, so she transported her conciousness to an immeasurable amount of time into the future, after she had been sealed.

During this time, all the thousands of legions that had been placed by the gods had faded into dust. Only one remained, hanging on.

And lucien had killed the last one.

"You’re awake." The empress was pulled out of her thoughts by a voice that seemed oddly familiar.

Olivia had long since left the room, leaving the empress to her thoughts.

The new voice was masculine, and filled with curiosity.

"You’re the one who saved me?" The empress asked, her eyes still calm without any ripples.

"Yes, your master." I replied with a calm smile. I could sense that the empress wouldn’t be awake for much longer, so I needed to get out as much information as I could from her.

"What era is this?" The empress ignored the discomfort she felt at hearing those words.

Her master.

She had been alone all her life since her parents abandoned her for being worthless.

The royal kingdom was declining, so they placed all their hopes on the three princes, especially the crowned prince, who they thought could usher in a new era of prosperity.

Angelica could still recall how she had sliced his head clean from his body, ensuring her family sank into despair.

"You’re not from the modern era?" I threw back a question of my own.

The empress pondered the words for a bit then replied softly, "during my time there were kingdoms and wars. Now I can sense an unsettling calmness that spans hundreds of miles. It shows that the times have changed. And the era is now different."

"I see..." I muttered, intruiged by her words. It was the first time I had felt this much curiosity towards a person.

"What’s your name?" I questioned, ignoring her previous question about the era. I couldnt exactly tell her the era we were in, as I didnt have the words to describe it.

Majority of the humans on earth were unawakened. But beneath the veil of society, in the shadows, were awakened ones who ruled the planet.

Those were the true dictators of the era. It was hard to explain, but when the empress fully gained her strength, she would gradually understand everything.

"Angelica." The empress replied simply and I noticed her eyes scanning main curiosity.

’Angelica? An angel...’ I mused to myself acknowledging that it was a good name.

"What abilities do you possess?" I asked again. I wanted to know how useful she would be to me.

The empress thought about it for a moment, but understanding that I now held control over her as her master, she decided to state the truth.

Perhaps when she regained her full strength she could break away from the shackles of slavery, but for now, she had to act as though everything was normal.

Angelica stretched her hand, and black fire bloomed rapidly on her hand.

It began coalescing into the form of a black rose flower.

I could sense her control of mana was so precise, and it seemed even more terrifying than mine.

’Interesting... ’ I muttered, my eyes gleaming in both surprise and intrigue.

The fire made of black flames emitted a light sizzle, as intesecting patterns began appearing on the surface of the petals.

I sensed the mana closely and could tell this was a different composition of mana.

’Lightning?’ I muttered. That made it two abilities.

After the lightning, a light breeze blew the flower, scattering the petals onto the bed.

I expected the bed to catch fire, but the flower remained perfectly still on the bed.

Her control of mana was so great that it made the black, terrifying flames seem harmless.
