Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 1015: A similar condition.

Ned's actions had an intimidating effect.

As the next wave of beasts approached the city, they saw a huge explosion and fluctuations of a platinum-ranked creature ahead. The instinct of self-preservation took over, and they decided to bypass the city.

It was an incredibly effective solution. Ned understood his master's intentions so well that he did not restrain himself in battle.

When the dust settled and the fire on the outskirts of the city was extinguished, Ned, as if nothing had happened, emerged from the epicenter of events.

There were no wounds on his body, not even dust on his clothes. A satisfied smile shone on his face, and his gaze, not noticing the shocked stares of the defenders, was directed at one person — his older brother. He wanted to see Idan's reaction and receive his praise.

Idan, sensing Ned's emotions, couldn't help but praise him, giving him a thumbs up:

"Good job, Ned."

For others, it might not have mattered much, but for Ned, who was changing more and more every day and gaining independence, Idan's praise was very important.

Satisfied, Ned remained standing in place, facing the Anomaly.

Some of the waves of beasts circled the city, unwilling to face the Platinum-ranked creature. Those who were far away and did not fall under the influence of Ned's intimidation rushed to the city, where he was waiting for them.

Ned did not let go of those who dared to approach the city, making an example of them for the rest.

During this, another wave of beasts appeared in front of Ned, led by a rare Platinum-ranked beast.

Instead of fear, Ned laughed happily, as if he saw an interesting toy, not a threat.

Idan wanted to intervene, but decided to trust Ned and left everything to his discretion.

In the west, three Valkyrie sisters and a Creature of Light descended from heaven like goddesses to repel a wave of aquatic beasts and scare away the rest.

Under the experienced guidance of Esma and Lucinda, their group successfully coped with any dangers and difficulties.

Instead of beasts, the locals caused them the most problems, who, fascinated by their beauty and uniqueness, tried to attract their attention and even behaved provocatively, trying to flirt. Especially influential people and the city's leadership.

While Esma flirted with them in response, Lucinda, Milena and Aliya became more and more annoyed.

While waiting for the waves of beasts, Milena immersed herself in the study of the element of Light under the guidance of Lucinda and Aliya. Under their strict supervision, she even practiced her skills on controlled waves of beasts.

In the North, the situation remained calm, and there were no casualties from the city.

Eulalia, avatar Arabel, and Arslan were sitting on the city walls, watching Liam single-handedly fight another wave of beasts. His swordsmanship was top-notch, and his powerful Platinum-grade aura created an intimidating effect.

"How's Irene?" — Arabel asked her brother Arslan.

"It's getting better, but it's still a long way from its previous state," Arslan replied. After a short pause, he added, "You know, Sister..."

"Her current condition… It's not the first time I've seen Irene like this," he confessed, attracting the attention of not only Arabel, but also Eulalia.

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Seeing that his confession had aroused the interest of his sister and the high elf, Arslan continued.

"After you left with Idan, even before the start of the second Disaster, during the evacuation of people from other continents, something happened that brought Irene into a very similar state."

Arabel frowned, and her eyes widened in surprise.

"Wait a minute! Don't you mean the time when you came across 'this'?"

Arslan nodded gravely, without taking his eyes off his sister.

"With this?" — Eulalia tilted her head.

"This means Darkia," Arabel explained to Eulalia through a mental link.

Arslan and Irene were not yet aware of Darkia's existence and that Arabel, Idan and some others had already dealt with her.

"Oh!" — Eulalia remembered the woman with fathomless black eyes and long dark hair, through whose portals they had entered this city.

Arslan noticed Eulalia's strange reaction and, looking at his sister, realized that they were communicating through a mental link. A suspicion flashed in his eyes that his sister might have already encountered this.

"After that incident, Irene also fell into a similar state, but the effect was not as strong as it is now."

"Really?" asked Arabel.

"Yes, I was doubtful at first, but after spending a little more time with her, I became convinced that I was not mistaken," Arslan confirmed.

"It always seemed amazing to me that my brother and Irene, faced with Darkia, did not fall under her influence," was one of the questions Arabel could not find an answer to.

Now that she knew about Darkia's power and Irene's Void element, she seemed to have found the answer.

"Darkia probably tried to capture Irene's consciousness, but Irene used her void element, which forced Darkia to retreat."

Thinking about it, Arabel couldn't help but remember that it was at that time that her brother and Irene got together, and as a result, they had a son.

"Don't tell me that this happened when Irene was in a similar state?"

Arslan, usually serious, blushed and looked a little embarrassed.

He nodded, confirming Arabel's guess.

"Eh..." — Arabel sighed, finally realizing why, after all the events and the birth of the child, the relationship between Irene and Arslan is so strained. It turned out that everything happened exactly when Irene was under the influence of her element.

Meanwhile, in the east, a Lightning Fox with huge ears witnessed a strange scene and could not understand what was happening.

Her belligerent master, armed with a sword and four lightning wings, persistently tried to attract the attention of the guy in the mask. She gave him hints, but he constantly ignored them.

At the same time, there was another guy in a bamboo hat and with a sword, who with no less passion sought the attention of the master. However, she didn't pay any attention to him.

As for the guy in the mask, the fox couldn't understand his behavior and even started to get a little angry. He acted like he was the most important person in the world, ignoring her master's obvious feelings.

The fox did not realize that Nemo considered himself unworthy of her, was ashamed of his scarred appearance and wanted to heal as soon as possible so that he could pay attention to her.

And in such a chaos of feelings, they fought waves of beasts, defending another city.
