Daisy and Aizel's jaws dropped as they entered the enormous space that resembled a cave. The walls were loaded with shelves holding all sorts of tools, weapons, treasures, and mysteries.
It resembled a hidden sanctuary, a place of secrets and possibilities.
With its aura of mystery and hidden treasures, Aizel couldn't help but compare it to a bat cave.
"Where are we now?" Daisy asked.
"Right now, we are inside the mountain," Gogo replied.
"So, you basically made your place inside a fucking mountain. Is there anything you can't do, grandmaster?" Aizel asked.
He was a little surprised after hearing that.
"Of course, there is. I can't find a good soulmate," Gogo replied, making a sad expression.
"Don't worry master; I will try to find a good lady for you," Daisy replied.
A gleam of excitement danced in Grandmaster Gogo's eyes as he swiftly reached out, taking hold of Daisy's hands.
"I hope you won't disappoint this old man." He shook her hand in excitement.
"I will try," Daisy smiled.
"Grandmaster, you really gave a beating to that hag.
"Did you have fun?" Aizel asked with a sly smile.
"Hoho, it was her who asked for this. You can bet I gave quite a beating to both of them, hehe..."
Gogo and Aizel exchanged knowing glances, their lips curling into devious grins, and a naughty twinkle lit up their eyes. Daisy, perceiving their feelings, sighed quietly to herself.
"Now hurry, take out your weapon and show what it can do," Gogo said. His eyes lit with anticipation.
"Alright,"
As Aizel called Sekki, the sword appeared in his hand. With deft flicks of the wrist, he transformed the blade into a variety of weapons, including swords, spears, and even a sinister-looking scythe.
Gogo's eyes enlarged with excitement and awe as he witnessed yet another facet of Sekki's versatile nature.
"Incredible, this is something I have never seen in my whole life in Xelgar.
"I have witnessed the artifacts that change some forms, but they can't even compare to your spirit sword.
"It's like you are just wishing for what you want, and the sword is accepting your command. And you are still only a Grade II mage."
Aizel's eyes widened in surprise as Grandmaster Gogo hinted at his true power of nature.
"I wonder what sorts of things you can do in the future as you grow.
"But I can bet on one thing for sure...
Suddenly, Gogo's expression turned grave, and his voice resonated with a deep, commanding tone as he spoke, "You will become just like a killing artifact."
"It will depend, Grandmaster."
"On what? Care to elaborate?" Gogo asked.
"To whom and for what am I going to become like that.
"If it's for a good reason, I won't mind wiping out everyone in this world."
Gogo and Daisy were completely taken aback by Aizel's statement, and their eyes widened in shock.
"Kid, tell me it was just a joke."
"Aizel, you didn't really mean that, right?" Daisy moved closer to him as she asked.
She stared expectantly and fixedly into Aizel's eyes, waiting for an answer.
"You and the kids are the only ones that have meaning to me in this world," Aizel replied.
Daisy's hand gently caressed Aizel's cheek, her touch as soft as a whisper in the wind.
"Promise me, you won't do anything like that." She said.
"You don't know who I am, Daisy. I can't pr..
"I know your memories are returning and they are affecting your nature.
"But you can fight against it. It's not like I am telling you to stop killing someone or not punish them.
"You can't ever let innocents get involved, no matter what happens. You are not like them. You are different.
"Promise me this or I will not talk to you ever again."
Aizel gazed deeply into Daisy's eyes, mesmerized by their radiant blue hue.
Though he knew she couldn't see through them, there was a captivating light within those eyes that spoke volumes of her spirit.
Aizel clenched his jaw, his hands forming tight fists, betraying the inner conflict within him.
The vow he was about to make weighed heavily on his mind and caused a complex range of feelings to surface.
Deep within, a voice of resistance emerged, whispering doubts and disdain toward the binding commitment he was about to undertake.
Daisy reached out and gently touched Aizel on the other cheek, her touch full of love and concern. She leaned in closer, their breaths mixing, and tipped her head slightly. Then, with the utmost tenderness, Daisy kissed Aizel on the lips, a slow and tender kiss that said more than any words could.
"You have me and the kids with you forever. We want our kind and loving Aizel.
"Not a killing artifact with no emotions," she said slowly.
The kiss was sufficient; a wave of warmth swept through Aizel's being, dispelling any residual disdain or hesitation.
"I promise. I won't do anything like that,"
Grandmaster Gogo smiled and nodded his head in response.
[fufu master, it seems Daisy is bolder than you]
Aizel's cheeks turned a rosy shade, and he seemed a little self-conscious as he avoided looking directly into Daisy's eyes. As the weight of the situation settled upon Daisy, her own cheeks bloomed a deep crimson, resembling the blush of a ripe apple.
[AHHH... Fuck her already]
"Shut up,"
*Sigh*
"It's so good to be young," Gogo commented.
"Ahem... You wanted to see my new technique right Grandmaster, haha...
"Let me show it to you." Aizel quickly changed the topic.
[Master why are you ignoring her? Isn't this a good time to deepen your love for her?]
It's not Sekki. Do you think we are powerful enough to keep them safe? Not yet."
[So, we just need to become stronger, right?]
Yes, much, much stronger."
Aizel spent the rest of the day demonstrating his new technique to Grandmaster Gogo.
They ventured outside, where Aizel demonstrated the intricacies of his newfound power, each movement infused with a growing mastery.
Gogo watched with curiosity, then offered advice and suggestions to help Aizel improve. They worked together, their interest in Aizel's powers igniting a mutual fascination with the mystical arts.
