Netori: Reborn as the Human Aphrodisiac

Chapter 48: Hunting the Matriarchs!

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

So how about this? You can leave with the flames and snakes. But in exchange, I want your help with a little quest of mine. If you agree, we will discuss the specifics at a later date. All the info's here." Elektra's voice returned to its original form, and she flicked her fingers, firing a silver flame card at Mithras.

After using the Sensory Secret to make sure the card didn't conceal traps, Mithras crushed it between his fingers, causing a wave of information to enter his brain—his eyes widened in disbelief.

"It is no doubt interesting. But I'm horrible at making choices under pressure," Mithras said following a moment of silence, again causing the audience to hold its breath in expectation of Elektra's response.

"I am as well. You can leave. If you wish to take me up on my offer, you now know how to contact me. I will give you one week to decide. That should be plenty. And if I don't get the answer I want by then, I will get my pythons back with brute force," Elektra said, making the headmistress gawk in a stupor.

That Elektra referred to her as "Lady" didn't seem to surprise Cassandra, whose lips curled into a bitter smile.

Forever the practical man, Mithras didn't delay, vanishing into the distance alongside Cassandra and Nagini.

"Are you sure you should let him go? That man vandalized our treasures, stole our Inner Flames and Red Cloud Pythons, killed the Grand Priest, yet still bears a grudge against us.

That level of hate is quite frankly shocking. And he was about to delete our theocracy from the map before you returned to save the day. So, if I may ask my dear lady why...haven't you made his head pop like a balloon?" Too confused to stay silent, Suri asked—unable to accept that Elektra let Mithras go just like that.

"I want to try and be more polite..."

"Ah?"

"Also, Elijah possessed a passive ability known as the Double Immolation Curse. That ability came from Akamana and is about as destructive as my strongest mantra. So, if that youth can survive it, he can probably survive me," Elektra gave a more believable answer.

On top of their destructive powers, Inner Flames typically possessed unique abilities.

Pyrogasmic Genesis could send people into heat or cause spontaneous orgasms at peak force. The Wrathful God Fire possessed the Red, White, and Dark Flame that gave unique perks each. Honoria's Metamorphic Flame enabled shapeshifting, and so on.

But in Elektra's case, her Inner Flame enabled her to strengthen another person's talents by one to two classes—except they couldn't go beyond the divine class.

Consequently, she could also sense talents—an unusual ability that enabled her to see through many of Mithras' secrets.
