Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 749: I'm just investing in my future

After mutilating Christopher's face and allowing him to suffer a little pain, Arabel knocked him unconscious with one powerful blow before the effect of the black stone dissipated and he regained contact with his system.

"Are you disappointed?" Arabel asked Darkia, who had come here to enjoy the performance.

"Me? Of course not," Darkia replied. "I should be asking, are you happy with my gift?"

"Although this is only one of my two gifts, but instead of one, you got two," Darkia added, pointing at Albert, a Creature of Light that neither she nor Arabel expected to see here.

Arabel wasn't going to blindly believe Darkia's words and decided to wait until her connection to System was restored.

Then she remembered the existence of the slave collars, left over from their time in the incomplete world of Light and Darkness. She pulled out one of them and put it around Christopher's neck.

"With this collar, he won't be able to reconnect with his System."

Arabel didn't want Christopher to reconnect and be able to give orders to all these innocent girls.

"Who knows what kind of perverted ideas he might have in mind," she mused.

Soon after, Arabel was finally able to reconnect with her System.

"So she's telling the truth?" — Arabel breathed a sigh of relief when System confirmed Darkia's words.

[Yes], System confirmed.

[Ding! The task is given: "Find a way to remove the influence of Innocent Maidens System and free innocent girls"]

[The reward will depend on the number of girls freed from the influence of the Innocent Maidens System]

"Oh, that's more interesting," Arabel thought with a smile when she received a rare assignment from System lately.

Arabel immediately had several people in her head who she was sure could help her with this task.

"The reward depends on the number of maidens saved, doesn't it?" she asked, looking around the room where the girls were, who were still unconscious, but according to System, they should come to their senses soon.

"I can't leave them all here," — Arabel decided, deciding to take them all to the Kingdom with Christopher, whose powers had been suppressed by the slave collar, and she didn't have to worry about it affecting the other inhabitants of the Kingdom.

"System, won't you be able to detect Dark System if it somehow gets inside with one of the Awakened Girls or even with the Host of this System himself?" — worried that Darkia was up to something, Arabel decided to check with System.

[Don't worry, Host. Even if the Dark System can find a way to infiltrate the Kingdom, it will quickly make itself felt if it takes any action.]

"Good," — Arabel said with relief. Then she opened an Access Portal and, using her hair, began to throw all the unconscious girls inside.

Arabel sent Christopher and Albert last.

"Big sister will love the new toy," — Arabel smiled, throwing Albert inside. She imagined how pleased Sierra would be to receive a second Platinum-ranked Creature of Light for her experiments on reading memories.

"As far as I understand, these are not all girls who are under the influence of Christopher's System?" Arabel said aloud, preparing to go in search of other girls in the huge Hugh family residence.

After all, her goal was not only to help these girls, but also to get the maximum possible reward for completing System's task.

"Heh," Darkia, who had remained silent the entire time, sneered, attracting Arabel's attention.

"What?" — Arabel addressed her.

Instead of answering, the door creaked again, and Arabel's familiar dark figure entered, followed by two more, three more, and so on.

Arabel, already ready to act, noticed that all these dark figures were carrying unconscious girls on their shoulders.

"What does all this mean?" asked Arabel, frowning, not understanding Darkia's motives and why she was helping her.

"I'm just investing in my future," Darkia replied, as the dark figures brought the girls in one by one, laid them on the floor, and disappeared. "I told you that sooner or later you and your husband will become mine."

This time Arabel took Darkia's words seriously and did not deny that it was an impossible dream.

She did not resist and did not refuse Darkia's help. After opening the Access Portal, she began sending maidens inside the Kingdom.

When everything was completed, Arabel noticed that it was getting noisy in the hallway and someone was about to appear.

Taking one last look at Darkia, she said:

"I will discuss your proposal with my husband soon."

Darkia didn't say anything, just watched in silence as Arabel entered the Access Portal.

Meanwhile, in Limbo, Idan and Milica, using Milica's second contract, Lightning Phoenix, quickly reached the outskirts of the Lava Lake.

"Unfortunately, we will have to walk further," Milica said. "Phoenixes and dragons don't get along, so Zarxil can't go any further."

"Oh, I didn't know about that," Idan replied, jumping off the phoenix's back.

Milica gently stroked phoenix, who accepted her caresses with pleasure.

"Come back, Zarxil," she said.

The phoenix, with obvious reluctance, let out a cry, spread its graceful wings, which sparkled with purple sparks, and with one powerful swing soared into the sky, heading back to the Forest of Doppelgangers. There were traces of a purple spark trailing behind him.

"Let's go," Milica called, heading towards the edge of the Lava Lake's outer boundary.

"By the way, Master," Idan said, drawing her attention.

"Does this phoenix have a humanoid form?" he asked, thinking of Raynar and his three wives, who were dragons in human form.

"No," — Milica shook her head, surprising Idan.

"It's not that Zarxil can't or can't take this form, Idan," Milica, noticing his confusion, decided to explain. "It's just that Zarxil refers to those beings who consciously give up the opportunity to take on a humanoid form, preferring to remain in their true form."

Before the Master and her disciple had even taken ten steps into the Forbidden Zone, two powerful beings noticed them.

"He's finally here," a female voice sounded, and four huge red eyes with vertical pupils opened in the center of the lava lake.
