Reincarnated With SSS Deathless Skill in Female Dominated World!



Chapter 77: Secrets (4)

After a moment of silence, Aimee began a different conversation.

"Insomnia and other convenient conditions, you can't die," Aimee threw a glance at her boyfriend, who decisively nodded, appearing ready to share his secrets.

Hunter collected a few thoughts, "I'm immortal… I heard it's rare, and only a few demons and spirits can't die, with others receiving their blessings to have eternal life. It's such a high-level concept that I feared sharing it with others, including you. My innate skill, Deathless, expands, too, and I have more skills sleeping within me. One of them is Death's Honor, which gives me the ability to turn into undead. So far, I can easily turn into Dullahan. But Red Rose is original skill!"

Aimee smiled, "That's impressive. I mean it."

"I can tell," Hunter grinned as he could tell that Aimee was genuinely impressed by him.

At this point, he could more or less tell her feelings based on her tone and words.

Which was an awesome development that genuinely thrilled him, sending tingles down his body. Unable to take off his smile, Hunter kept grinning while his teammates were beginning to understand how profound and vast his potential was.

Being outside the battle surely cooled off their heads, giving them a broader perspective on Hunter's future.

As Aimee recalled that she had been called Death Queen by him and even had her innate skill evolve to match the theme and the new status, her heart warmed, and rosy patches baked on her pale cheeks. She looked unbelievably adorable that once Hunter had taken a glimpse of her beautiful face, he could no longer take his eyes off her.

"Look ahead, idiot," Aimee whispered in a cute tone, making Hunter smile deeper.

"My bad," he looked forward, understanding that no words had to be said here.

Aimee took this as a chance to continue the topic, "I've developed a skill called Death Queen's Relocation, from which I also received some knowledge about souls. There's nothing such as Soul Origin. All souls are deeply weaved with flesh and organs. The experience during the battle also allowed my skill to relocate and even split my Agility Origin, loading them with lifespan from my soul to expand and strengthen them. I can sacrifice my lifespan to significantly increase my strength to defeat our foes before refilling myself back with theirs… I've become much stronger now that I've tasted the lifespan of the spirits. Sadly, I'm burdened by limits. I couldn't take too much of their lifespan, so you had to seal them."

Given that a soul concept wouldn't slip away from his hands, Hunter understood that he had given Aimee a part of his role, making her research soul before he could awaken this concept himself.

For now, Aimee danced with death, sacrificing her lifespan to become stronger. Too much, let alone careless usage of this concept, endangered her life, turning her into a dancer whose ballroom was on the verge of death and life.

Such was the role of the future Death Queen.

A role Aimee accepted… for she was already known as Golden Kamikaze back in the union, just because she fought alone against many aspiring hunters wanting her to be gone.

"It's S-ranked skill, right?" Hunter asked as he finished his thoughts, "It means strength and flexibility are nearly at their peak, and you are only limited by experiences and external knowledge! Now, you can only relocate lifespan, but in the future, you will seize the souls of your enemies to do your bidding!"

Receiving a clear picture of herself in the future, surrounded by soul monsters and defeated foes, Aimee took a few seconds to reply to her boyfriend.

When she did, her lips arced into a dazzling smile, "Your image suits my ambition."

Hunter sneered.

Aimee then turned her eyes to Seraphina, who listened attentively to them, "Are you hungry?"

"Huh?" Taken aback by this question, Seraphina reacted unlike herself before nodding, "I am… I exerted a lot of strength and mana, so obviously, I need nutrients to replenish my energy. Why?"

"Because I'm not hungry, yet I should be in the same seat as you… which means I've become partially like my boyfriend, and I no longer need to eat," Aimee inferred this much herself.

Well, with a little help from Seraphina, who was still a normal human. It was good to have her close just to see the differences between them.

But as she had lifted her sword against the World Order and fought against them, Aimee's impression of this crimson-haired woman changed. 

She was now a teammate, which was more than an additional power and sparing partner: she was someone that Aimee would help Hunter become close with, taking her into their family.

In a nutshell, she is a beautiful, strong, and worthy of care woman.

However she couldn't help but smirk inwardly as Hunter's powers were unconsciously compelling Seraphina to follow him and be his teammate. Well, any sane woman without a profound background would give her all to follow Hunter anyway.

"How did my blood exactly help you?" Hunter curiously asked, genuinely interested in Seraphina's progress.

Making Sera smile and explain her progress, "I can breathe a part of my soul into my mirrored skills, turning them into soul monsters. They instinctively know what I need and want, so it's easy to fight alongside them. Since I fought them, I know what they're capable of and can bring those terrifying experiences to aid me now. I can also quickly switch between my skills, and their prowess is naturally higher. Once I fill it with your blood, my sword is also heavier and colder. It's hard to swing it, but with proper scheme, I can utilize its advantages and defeat my opponents."

Hunter laughed, "That's good! I know you have what it takes to wield it perfectly! I'll lend you my blood whenever you need it!"

"You must find a way to fill my sword without wounding yourself…" Seraphina faintly smiled, her worry over Hunter's wounds palpable in her voice and eyes.

Having someone worried over him… was what Hunter had been genuinely missing for a while. There wasn't just pure self-interest within Sera. Of course, she needed his blood to continue growing stronger, but she was genuinely concerned about him and the wounds he had received.

"Worry not! I got it!"

"I believe in you…"

Aimee chimed in just before those feelings between the two of them turned into something deeper, "Just wounding yourself to let your blood flood out to use it is wrong. But that's what we're held back by… my innate skill is still centered on myself, and I can't bring soul outside… and you can't easily draw your blood out. If we learn how to do it, we will cover our weaknesses much easier and significantly increase our strength. On the other hand, Seraphina seems to need more strength and mirrored skills to increase her versatility. I also have an idea… about pouring my soul into your body to find out whether you have Agility Origin and stir it."

"That's…" Hunter's eyes gleamed, "I feel like we all have what it takes to improve our weaknesses! We just need to work together! Just like you want to use your innate skill to stir my Agility Origin, I must find a way to help you bring your soul out through my experience… I used to control a sea of blood! I can actually help you! Also, Sera, since my blood is within your mirror sword, I might use it to practice my external control! If I manage to break into your mirror world and use my blood, I will become much stronger! You can practice a soul concept with Aimee and lend her your mirror world as well. We can do it!"

Since Aimee and Seraphina were women with their own grand ambitions, their voices blended and confidently filled Hunter's ears from the sides.

"Will do it."

"Will do it."

Hunter laughed, "Imagining how good hot springs will be after we become stronger already excites me!"

-

A few hours later, Hunter and his team were finally in front of the village, where they planned to get horses for their carriage to bring them to their first mission.

The sight of three of them pulling a big carriage was enough to startle villagers, but it was quickly dealt with by Aimee, who had taken out her tablet, explained her status as a hunter, and fabricated a story of them being ambushed by forest monsters on their way to the mission.

Since there was blood and battle scars on their equipment, the villagers were compelled to believe in Aimee's story.

"That's how we lost our horses."

"What about the monsters?"

"We hunted them down. Following the codex of hunters, we used the corpses to feed other weaker monsters and draw a line in the forest, ensuring that monsters wouldn't dare to repeat the same attack on the main road again. It's my noble duty as a royal hunter to ensure none of you get wounded and to maintain your businesses. Roads are free as they're meant to be!"

"Oh! A royal hunter! Are you a royalty?! You must be! Never seen a woman with such a grand aura before! You're so pretty, too!"

"Thank you," Aimee beautifully smiled, glanced at Hunter staring at her, then continued the talk, "Could I ask you to handle our needs? We need two rooms, at least two horses, and dinner."

"I will get people as soon as possible!"

In this way, Hunter and his team got a dwelling for the night.

"Weren't you supposed to deal with those matters as a team leader?" Seraphina asked.

Hunter shrugged, "Ever since she learned I picked our first mission based on the hot springs nearby…"

"I see…"
