There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!
Chapter 123: Skin (2)

Chapter 123: Skin (2)

If there is someone that Xagrien is most afraid of in this world, then it would be himself.

Ever since he became aware of his odd constitution, he knew that one day in the future, it will surely mess him up.

And today was that fateful day.

The atmosphere around them became chaotic and as thick blankets of smoke emerged on his body without his knowledge, he was wordlessly lamenting.

Why did he let himself be tempted by the voice that was urging him to take that mana stone? His regrets for doing so cannot be expressed by just words and it occupied rent free in his mind.

Xagrien tightly shut his eyes as he is trying to retain his awareness of his body. And he could feel the loud and erratic beating of his heart. The stiffness of the monument of his manliness and the strong worldly heat that continuously circulated all over his body gave him the impression of getting boiled from the inside.

It was painful. A pain that starts from every cell of his body and it slowly eating away his reasoning.

Like a child who knows that milk will satiate his hunger, he was aware that this maddening and uncomfortable feeling was quick to resolve.

He knew that it should be easy for him especially since his bearer was just around the corner, ready to approach him.

’No, stop this madness, Xagrien. You know how beastly your desires are. You may hurt him!’ he reprimanded himself in his mind.

If this was the usual thirst and desire that he shared with Luis, then he would be more than willing to initiate the act. All their intimacies are restrained and they didn’t go all the way.

However, this one was entirely a different feeling.

What he was feeling right now was possessive lust. An obsessive kind that would claim his adored bearer in a very violent way.

The darkest part of him that existed before he became aware of it.

From the moment he felt the surge of violent energy brewing inside him after he ingested the Mana Stone, he knew that he had awakened a beastly instinct. At that time, his reason was slowly taken over and this animalistic instinct prompts him to act savagely in response to the intense carnal desire that he has.

"Xagrien, what can I do to help you?" He heard Luis asked not that far from him. The black-haired bearer’s voice was gentle, tickling the already waning self-control that he has.

"You don’t understand, Luis. I might lose my control and hurt you...My current state is almost the same as going berserk... Once I lose this sliver of consciousness, I might violently attack you." Xagrien said in between his erratic breathing.

His eyes remain closed as he is fighting to retain his reason.

He was afraid that once he looked at Luis’ face, he would act out his lustful desire that he fought hard to contain.

Strange enough, even if his concentration blocked everything outside, he is still painfully aware of Luis’ presence.

"Do you really think that I am weak, Xagrien?" Luis asked him once again.

’No but I don’t trust myself,’ Xagrien said silently.

This time, Xagrien opened his eyes and he saw that Luis was making his way towards him.

He took a step back but Luis immediately stopped him with a calm and cold voice.

"Did you know that it hurts me when you are retreating away from me?" Xagrien hitched his breath. His bearer was mad.

That realization is enough to halt his next step and he waited for Luis to stand in front of him.

"Can you not see how terrible your state was?" Luis asked pointedly.

It was then that Xagrien realized that there were wisps of smoke seeping from his skin. These strings of fume probably manifest the burning heat that’s brewing inside his body.

Luis tried to inhale the smoke.

There was no scent of burning or anything at all.

One thought hit Luis when he saw this phenomenon, this is a Growth Phase.

Back when he was still trying to get to know his orc comrades, he curiously asked them if the kids are able to transform into cute little wolf pups and the answer was not yet because they haven’t reached the right condition of triggering the Growth Phase.

"Other races that have the ability to transform need to undergo a phenomenon called the Growth Phase in order to make the body susceptible to transformation." Sibal once explained to him about it.

This sight is almost the same as the orcs.

Luis may not be able to pinpoint what kind of blood shares with Xagrien. But this solidifies the fact that Xagrien is indeed a half-blood.

But what kind of race is able to eat mana stones in order to trigger the Growth Phase? Luis doesn’t know and this added another reason for him to expand their vision. They are lacking a lot of things.

"Haaaa," He heard Xagrien breathe exaggeratedly.

’That be painful.’ Luis’ thought seeing the pathetic state of the strong warrior. This is the third time that he saw Xagrien in such a sorry condition but this is the worst.

Luis sighed.

’But then again, he chose to hold back and suffer.’

The moon elf lord is not sure if he should pity this brute or drown him with kisses until he is left convulsing on the ground.

Luis cannot wrap his head around the fact that this male is trying so hard to keep him away from pain, especially the sexual pain that he was so willing to suffer.

"I will not blame you for stupidly taking that Mana Stone because that might be a part of your other bloodline," Luis looked at the sorry state of his lover. His tone was reprimanding.

He boldly ran his fingers to the drenched arm of the male and asked pretty casually, "You know for a fact that only I can help you on that matter but why did you forbid yourself from asking me? Are you planning to do it with someone else?"

Luis’ tone was oozing with danger. One wrong answer from the other and only god knows what kind of disaster will fall on the male.

At this point, Xagrien’s consciousness was cutting in and out.

The presence of his bearer was a heavy stimulation for him.

"Luis..." Xagrien said breathlessly. "I love you."

Those are the last words that he said until he succumbed to the mind-paralyzing effect of the Mana Stone. His body emitted a more steady stream of smoke.

The moon elf lord was visibly stiff when he heard that. His anger and disappointment vanished like this smoke. A smile is lurking on his face.

"This brute..." Luis uttered before he was pulled by Xagrien.

The male’s temperature was so high that Luis thought that it was scorching under his touch but strangely, his heart feels warmer because of this man.
