Primordial Villain with a Slave Harem

Chapter 562: Hex of Null Presence

”U-umm… C-c-can you carry me too?” One of his other three teammates walked up and asked Ryker. She had mage robes and seemed like a clumsy girl with a great lack of self-confidence; such a physical task made her anxious enough to stammer.

”Sure.” Ryker nodded with a happy smile and bent down to pick the mage up in his other arm, but then… ”No.”

The white-haired, cunning fox declared with an authoritative tone, making Ryker stop his motions immediately, after which he grimaced and looked at the mage with an apologetic expression.

Seraphiel burst out into mocking laughter in our heads, forcing Iris to accidentally let out a sharp, startled exhale, making multiple heads snap in her direction. She didn’t interact with Seraphiel much, especially not when the elf was free to say whatever she wanted, so Iris was not used to her eccentric persona and oftentimes outright shocking statements.

I remembered back to Jasmine’s prediction of Seraphiel ending up as lacking a mouth filter as Vex in a couple of decades, and I had to agree.

”Is there an issue?” Plump Fox 2.0 asked with a glare directed at Iris.

Iris didn’t bother responding, but I felt she was a bit embarrassed; how cute. I didn’t know if it was because multiple people, Vex included, were observing her, or perhaps it was the way her damaged yet strangely innocent mind processed another woman casually throwing around the word ’cuck’ as if it were nothing. Just another normal word to be used in casual conversation.

”Please, Lady Eneles, let me climb on… I’ll fall off…” The mage girl begged Selene 2.0. Yep, I won’t waste a single brain cell of mine learning this woman’s name.

”No!”

”Speak a single decibel higher and I’ll execute you on the spot, dumb bitch.” Vex declared with the most cruel smile imaginable sneaking its way onto her normally divinely beautiful face. Of course, to me, she was still gorgeous even while looking like an unhinged sadist, perhaps even more so. I distinctly remember her euphoric face when she denied Kael’s surrender; she was simply breathtaking.

As my Ayame would let me know more frequently than I would prefer, there was something definitely wrong with my head.

And, yep, here it was. Vex quickly let me know she didn’t change much during the week we spent apart from each other despite her admirable leadership skills displayed previously.

The woman she addressed immediately lost all color in her features and was on the brink of fainting due to the great bloodlust Vex directed at her person. She couldn’t even offer her torrent of apologies.

”Come, I’ll carry you.” Another of Ryker’s three background character-like female teammates murmured in a low tone, worried she would upset the white-haired beauty.

”Alright, I’m casting a spell to help us move undetected.” The woman with the epithet ’Hexblade’ announced, her earlier ominous expression already disappeared as if it never existed in the first place.

Next, Vex closed her eyes in concentration and then extended her hands in our direction, encompassing the whole group. She then intoned in a low tone, ”[Hex of Null Presence].”

Black, sinister tendrils shot outward from her fingertips like serpentine shadows weaving through us, at which point Vex parted her eyelids, revealing a dramatic transformation in her eyes.

Where simple reddish-brown irises of a normal human once resided, a glowing crimson pentagram could be seen, which was encircled by intricate arcane symbols that shone with overflowing energy.

Her pentagram-like eyes exuded a malevolent authority befitting a legendary combatant like Vex. It felt as if the symbol in her eye was a mark of her magical core manifesting directly - a Hexblade’s calling card made visible.

She parted her lips to speak, and her beautiful feminine tone was replaced by a voice that resonated like the echoes of distant bells vibrating through unseen realms - each word carried an unsettling yet captivating edge to them. ”You’ll lose your ability to make sound and your body won’t emit smell, but don’t panic. Especially you, Ghosty, I imagine it will be an uncomfortable experience. Bear with it.”

Blossom gulped anxiously; her brain struggled to comprehend what she was seeing. Vex truly was an otherworldly sight to behold right now. However, Blossom nodded her understanding after a few seconds. ꞦἁŊօBĚŞ

”Good.”

Vex followed it up by lowering her arms toward the ground, and immediately, a dense aura settled over the group.

My blonde, pony-tailed girl cried in my mind before grabbing onto my hand, looking for protection. Blossom was perfectly fine putting her life on the line during combat without batting an eyelash, but now, she was trembling like a scared kitten. For a woman who relied on her bodily senses so much, Vex’s spell was significantly more frightening due to how unnatural it was. She couldn’t understand what was going on, and that was what scared her.

I squeezed her hand in a show of support.

Vex’s lips curled into a mischievous grin as she looked straight into my eyes. She then spread her arms wide apart with her palms open, and then, with the speed of the ridiculous superhuman that she was due to her immensely high stats, she brought her hands together in a thunderous clap.

The sheer force of the impact rippled outward like an invisible explosion, bending the nearby bushes and causing tree branches to sway. Leaves tore free, whirling through the air as though caught in a tempest. Yet not a single sound reached our ears - silence reigned supreme.

Amazing. Simply amazing. No wonder Vex could jump us when we first met despite Blossom being on high alert. She simply didn’t have a smell for my dog-kin to detect, nor did her body have the ability to make sound. Unless one saw her with their eyes, detecting her would be incredibly difficult.

Vex then gestured for us to follow her before turning around and jumping at a tree trunk, from which she propelled her body toward another tree. She repeated the process multiple times, using these two girthy trees as her jumping pads, climbing toward the sky, showing us how to do it.

With that, it was time for us to cross the border to the Beastman Confederation’s lands, where great challenges would await us.
