Spending Tonight with Melina

After feeling disappointed as the exchange area of the Krypton Gold System was completely empty, Shishir closed the panel and checked the exchanged items.

"It seems that if I want to rely on these gold fingers to improve the power of the gods, the bronze-level gold fingers won't be enough", he thought.

However, these gold fingers could also be upgraded.

"Well, I need to find more protagonists to enhance my power further." he thought for a while and called Nancy to increase the rewards so that people from the dark net could take further action.

At the same time, he also gave Nancy hundreds of thousands of gold coins to use the intelligence networks of other forces to find out all the protagonists hiding near the New Moon Kingdom.

After letting Nancy make the necessary arrangements, he put away the remaining gold coins.

And then he also put away the numerous items that were exchanged from the Krypton gold system.

The benefits obtained from the bronze-level gold finger wouldn't improve his Demon God power much, but it could still be useful for him to improve his human side.

He intended to utilize some of these items himself to enhance the strength of his human side while distributing others amongst his subordinates.

His human side strength was actually not bad.

Even if he concealed his succubus bloodline, his physical quality was still impressive.

Now, even if it was a powerful sky knight, which was comparable to a forbidden-level existence, who swung a big sword at him.

He would just stand there without flinching and there wouldn't even be a scratch on his skin.

However, this was only the quality of his body as other powers on his human side weren't enough and he knew that physical strength alone was insufficient.

After putting the exchanged items away, he effortlessly dismantled the magic circle in the hall with a simple move of his hand and his whole body had now returned to its normal state.

Then, he left the hall and ascended to the height of the castle.

There, he found Melina was drinking a cup of coffee.

Seeing him coming, Melina greeted him with a charming smile.

"Shishir Brother, have you taken care of everything?" She asked.

Despite her stunning beauty, she appeared to be in her thirties, which was not too old for a magician above the forbidden level.

High-level magicians tend to have a longer lifespan than most.

Although Shishir looked like he was only in his mid-twenties, his age did not reflect his true experience and strength.

Otherwise, think about it as he traveled in this world 20 years ago, then if he traveled in this world and didn't start all over as a baby then wouldn't he be an old man by now after 20 years later.

And with Melina's current strength and magical power to nourish her body, it was not a problem for her to live for hundreds of years.

Her aging process would also be much slower compared to regular humans. Although she was the goddess in the minds of countless people in the Holy Moon Magic Academy but in front of Shishir, she was like a teenage girl, vulnerable and innocent.

"Yes, it's been taken care of," He replied

After speaking, he looked at her.

As their eyes met, she blushed with embarrassment.

She gently leaned into his arms and listened to the voice of his heartbeat.

A look of satisfaction appeared on her face.

She cherished these moments with him the most, as it reminded her of the tragic night when her parents were killed by horse thieves more than ten years ago.

When the horse thief attempted to rape her, he arrived alone with his sword and killed them all.

After that, he held her in his arms like this and promised to be her brother from that day forward, forever protecting her.

"Shishir Brother, I am currently serving as the vice president of the Holy Moon Magic Academy. Soon, I will achieve the status of a legendary mage. When that happens, I want to continue to be by your side in the future, " She spoke in a soft tone.

Shishir gently stroked her hair and said, "Melina, things have changed. I still need you at the Holy Moon Magic Academy. If it's possible, will you consider joining the Magic Council of the Gods Continent? Can you do that?"

"The Council of Magic…Shishir Brother, I can do it!" She replied without hesitation.

Although she longed to be with him every day, she understood the urgency of his request and was willing to fulfill it.

"Shishir Brother, since I can't be by your side all the time, let me offer myself to you tonight… willingly," her voice trailed off.

That night, time seemed to pass slowly.

Time, an uncharted realm that even Demon Gods like Shishir hadn't fully grasped, had a peculiar effect on humans and gods.

At times, it could make seconds feel like hours, and at other times, it could make hours feel like seconds.

This particular night, time dragged on painfully slow.
