Curse the Mainframe! 400 Sweet Affection

The battle between the Meisters left in the base were handled by Illyuken and Harou. They took one each, decimating the two Meisters who were like sitting ducks.

It wasn't a workout at all. Instead, it was more like a one-sided fight. The two magical beasts wailed on the Meisters until their figures could no longer be made out.

All that was left of them were pounds of flesh, and they were definitely dead.

The two Meisters had suffered a lot before they died in order for the two to vent their anger.

In the end, Illyuken and his lone subordinate didn't make a move other than eliminating the other two Meisters who were inside the headquarters.

While this was the headquarters of the company, there were still others who were not in the base at the time.

This usually included the 'higherups'.

But the destruction of the base would have lit a fire under their asses, causing them to come crawling out of the woodwork.

It wouldn't take very long.

There had to be at least one Grand Meister in the company for them to run around so covertly. They would have been long discovered otherwise.

Illyuken licked his lips, attracting someone's attention to him.

Alec raised a brow, seeing how his subordinate was practically drooling over the dragon.

This little girl really… well. Alright, fine. Rosabel liked good-looking men. There really wasn't anyone who could outclass a dragon in looks of all things. There were even two subtle black horns in Illyuken's hair, adding to his inhuman charm.

Illyuken and Haphira were really too stunning compared to them mortals.

Alec's lips quirked when he saw Rosabel unable to control herself from staring at him. He suddenly wanted to see Elysia, who was running around rampantly in the base.

At this moment, just as he was thinking about her, Elysia finally popped back out cheerfully. Her eyes were glittering as she waved at Alec.

"Alec, Alec. I found something. I believe it should be the red alert that will cause all of them to swarm here regardless of their status."

Alec raised a brow. This was what he'd been looking for, but they'd hidden it too well. Sure enough, using a Main Character's luck was really efficient.

Alec looked at the red button in her hands, and he looked at the other buttons on the wall.

Those buttons only alerted the base, but the button in Elysia's hands alerted the entire company.

The alert would go out to all of the other nine bases, and the people there would flock here.

Alec actually let out a chuckle. It was likely that they never expected that this button would one day be pressed, right?

If it was pressed, that meant that their presence would be exposed to the outside world, which was not something good for them.

Alec smiled ever so gently, which attracted Elysia's attention. He beckoned at her, and she couldn't help but stare at his gentle smile though she knew that he was likely thinking some bad thoughts.

She was just attracted to every action of his, like she was bewitched.

Perhaps it was because they were still in the beginning stages of their love, which made Alec that much more attractive to her.

She walked over to him like she'd been hooked by a fishing rod, floating over.

There were a few coughs of amusement in the background, but they didn't register to her.

Alec shamelessly hugged Elysia in front of everyone, staking his claim in front of the dragon and the wolf.

After all, they were not part of his Spectres…

And they were handsome. If Elysia got attracted over to them, he wouldn't have any tears left to cry.

If Elysia knew what he was thinking, she would have shaken her head. After all, her father was more handsome – er, regardless, in her eyes, Alec was still the best!

It was probably the words of a little girl infatuated in love, but she really thought that no one else could compare to Alec. Love was blind, and all that.

Similarly, in Alec's eyes, no matter how beautiful someone was, no one could compare to Elysia in his eyes.

She was the only one that remained in his mind, and she was the only one who could enter his dreams.

Besides her, there was no one else.

"We'll check this button and activate it if there's nothing wrong," Alec said with a smile. He just blurted out a random reason, not even caring about how legitimate the reason was.

Suddenly, Alec hugged Elysia and carried her off, causing her to let out surprised laughter, but she obediently clung to his neck, her heart feeling so sweet.

Perhaps, nothing else would compare to this sweet and affectionate feeling that Alec inspired in her with a few simple motions.

Alec tugged her into another room, kissing her. The adrenaline from before had yet to fade, and Elysia was just as excited as he was.

The two of them exchanged fervent and passionate kisses, their fingers lingering, but they didn't go too far.

Their kisses got more and more heated. Alec took a few steps forward and Elysia took a few steps backwards.

Ping!

Suddenly Elysia's foot stepped on the button, causing her to stumble as she tripped over the button.

Surprised, the two parted, panting.

They looked at each other in surprise before they looked at the button that was under Elysia's foot.

Uh…

Well, it was not intentional.

The two burst into laughter at how they'd been behaving, and Alec buried his head in Elysia's neck, breathing in her sweet fragrance. A small smile curved onto his face. Not the practiced ones that he made in the mirror, but something smaller and more affectionate.

He really had been planning on checking the button further before activating it, but uh… they seemed to have gotten a bit carried away.

Luckily, the control of the headquarters was under him, and because he hadn't allowed it, the alarm couldn't go off. Otherwise, they would have come before they finished clearing out the base.

But they finally regained their senses after this little episode.

Alec helped Elysia tidy up before he straightened his clothes, and the two took the button and went back hand in hand.

Immediately after they returned, they heard a few wolf-whistles.

The Spectres who had gathered after a while were secretly laughing at them.

Their Boss and Elysia disappearing like that together and returning back with flushed faces, what else could have happened?

Alec suddenly remembered something. He turned to Elysia and said, "That's your father's friend. Illyuken Nyre. Do you know him?"

Elysia looked over at Illyuken, who looked at her curiously.

Haphira's daughter?

Illyuken was stunned. That unfriendly Haphira, who previously looked down on humans? When the hell had this happened? From the way Alec was talking about him, he now appeared fine with him.

Though he was stunned at this realization, he didn't show it on his face. "Hello."

Elysia looked at him curiously. If she looked closely, she could indeed see the dragon characteristics on him, which was mainly the slit eye, and the imposing aura of a dragon. There were also two slightly curved horns that were mostly hidden in his hair, just like the ones that her father had.

It was well-concealed, but she could still see it if she was looking for it.

"Nice to finally meet you," Elysia said, grinning.

Illyuken seemed to have seen something in Elysia's smile. It was the same smile that Haphira usually smiled.

At this moment, the lonely dragon really felt like meeting up with his friend. But he had a feeling that he was no longer on Incantix at the moment.

He just nodded gracefully.

Seeing that their meeting had ended, Alec took the button out and looked at them. "Prepare for battle. I'll be pressing it now. We should barricade the entrances."

They all gave their agreement, so Alec simply pressed the button.

There wasn't any sound in the base since Alec disabled it, but the alert had definitely gone out.

Slowly, bloodthirsty expressions appeared on everyone's faces.

Battle!
