The Bored Immortal

Seraphina couldn't understand what Yanah could possibly ask from someone like Viktor, who was new to the Odic world.

It was not like he possessed any money or treasures that could be of use to her.

"I want him to give me his seed," Yanah said with a strange smile, making Seraphina's jaw slack in confusion.

Viktor had already fallen asleep not because of the poison but because Seraphina felt it was better to put him to sleep rather than let him suffer excruciating pain every second.

It was not easy for her to make him fall asleep since she would have to constantly use her Odic force to keep him like that, and until the poison left his body, he couldn't wake up.

But if he were awake now, he would have thought something along these lines…

Were the women from the Odic world this open-minded? Or was his charms really that irresistible?

"I…I don't understand. What kind of seed do you want from him?" Seraphina asked with a blinking expression.

Yanah sighed as she placed her hand on her forehead and head, "Sigh, Sera…You really want me to say it, huh? Fine. I am saying I want to bear his child in return for trying to cure him."

"C-Child? You want his child??" Seraphina stammered as she couldn't process what she just heard and continued, "B-But why? Why would you suddenly ask for something like that? Isn't something as sacred as that supposed to be done between a man and woman in love? You only met him today."

As Seraphina said this, she didn't know why she was feeling a bit strange as well after hearing Yanah's request.

Yanah shook her head as she floated beside Seraphina and held her hand, "You might not understand, Sera, since the way you live your life is way different than mine. Even your realm is so peaceful and beautiful compared to the murky dark home we are living in right now. Based on the tomes my ancestors had left, our home is out there…a beautiful place, waiting for the return of our race."

Seraphina saw how Yanah's expression was becoming subtly dreamy as she continued, "We have been banished from our home too long to the point none of us remembers how our true home was like or how much we had lost."

Yanah's expression began to twist in bitterness as she added, "All we have is this feeling of emptiness, pain, and anger in our hearts because of being banished and oppressed for something that was not really our fault. But I have long since stopped dwelling on the past, and instead, I have been dedicating my life to finding a way for my sisters to return to our true home. I did even find a way not too long ago as I chanced upon a long-lost secret map that would lead to the place where the exalted Devil was said to be resting. My plan was to find his supreme self and release him so that he can once again protect us all and free my race from our banishment."

Seraphina held her breath, not expecting Yanah to have such dangerous plans.

If the Guardian Gods were to learn about her plans, she and her entire race might be put in danger.

It was not a secret that the Guardian Gods hated the existence of the Devil…the progenitor of all demons.

But what puzzled her was that she knew the Guardian Gods even purged the soul of the Devil. So how come Yanah was talking about finding the Devil if he was already dead?

However, she didn't want to break Yanah's flow and asked, "Then what happened? Why didn't you try following the map?"

Yanah's face darkened as she answered, "It's because that bitch named Ara stole it from me by deceiving me and even killed two of my beloved sisters in the process. We…no…I was a fool to let her in, thinking that she was here to broker peace, but she is even more despicable than a vile snake, backstabbing us when we least expected it."

Seraphina felt sad for Yanah as she used her pure aura to envelop Yanah and soothe her heart.

Yanah felt herself calming down and feeling better, but still, she added, "Once upon a time out race was like sisters to the mermaids as well. So when Ara came in peace, I accepted her presence here to honor the relations of our ancestors. But now, because of her, my race is doomed. We have already been dying slowly over the years since the water here isn't really suitable for us to thrive. They had banished us here to slowly die over time. Awakening our Devil seemed to be the only way to save my race, but Ara destroyed that chance. This is also why I was desperate and angry and decided to at least kill her if all my sisters were going to die anyway."

"No! Never give up hope. You might not know when the Odic force will bless you with fortune and happiness. Giving in to despair is not the answer," Seraphina said in a concerned tone as she momentarily took a glance at a sleeping Viktor.

Yanah nodded as she said with a subtle smile, "I know. I had given up hope until now when you told me that this vampire is a true immortal. I know you aren't lying, and I also felt that he was kind of special to survive a battle against Mevron. I don't care about his origins, but if I were to let someone as special as him impregnate me, imagine how powerful my child would be. Maybe that child will be the one who will save us all and be the savior of our race."

As she said this, Yanah's eyes were glowing with a strange fervor.

Seraphina didn't expect Yanah to have really thought so far ahead, but she could understand how desperate she was.

"B-But…what about Azu? Doesn't he have to agree to this?"
