Chapter 57

After talking to each other and the System, the couple decided to follow the latter's advice and take control of their bloodlines. However, as it turned out, it wasn't as easy as they expected.

They spent the rest of that day apart from each other.

At first, they did not feel any changes in themselves. Everything seemed normal and familiar.

However, towards evening, the first signs of the imperfection of their bloodlines began to appear, and it began to affect them.

Idan felt his heart beat faster. He was sweating and his clothes were sticking to his body. It became difficult for him to stay in one place.

At first it was tolerable, but over time the situation worsened. Because of this, he couldn't even fall asleep. He spent the whole night on his feet, trying to calm down. From time to time, he performed exercises to somehow meet the demands of his body.

Arabel, in turn, felt completely different emotions. Her heartbeat slowed down, and she felt her body starting to get cold. Her movements became sluggish, and her thoughts slowed down. To keep warm, she did not sit still and began to do exercises, trying not to let her body freeze.

These actions helped for a while, but the longer the night lasted, the more severe the symptoms became. She couldn't understand why her bloodline was reacting to her body like this. She couldn't remember her consciousness being so strongly affected during the trial.

By morning, both were at their limit.

Remembering the System's words, they held on to the end, not even trying to communicate with each other. They both knew that if they started a conversation, they wouldn't be able to resist and would immediately rush to each other to ease their suffering.

They were motivated only by the realization that without their bloodline power, they would not be able to complete the System's tasks. After all, it was the power of the bloodline that greatly increased their power after the transformation. They couldn't just rely on the ability to transfer stats when one of them gained strength and the other became weaker and more vulnerable.

In the morning, when Eulalia came to them to call them on behalf of Milica, she was horrified by what she saw. The couple's condition was far from normal.

The first thing Eulalia did was examine Idan. His whole room resembled a sauna. The temperature inside was so high that Eulalia could hardly breathe.

Idan, dressed only in his underwear, was breathing heavily. He immediately noticed Eulalia's appearance and paid attention to her. His eyes were red and his mind was in chaos. Idan himself did not understand what exactly he wanted to do at that moment.

He wanted to hit someone, burn someone with his fire magic, fight, and so on.

Before he could pounce on Eulalia, she quickly closed the door, leaving the monster burning with rage alone.

Eulalia immediately went in search of Arabel. When she went to her room and tried to open the door, her fingers felt icy cold.

Ordinary actions didn't help, and it wasn't until she exerted all her strength that the door gave way. A completely different picture appeared before her eyes.

Arabel's entire room was frozen. Unlike Idan's room, where it was unbearably hot, there was a piercing chill that sent goosebumps down Eulalia's skin. Arabel herself sat motionless in the center of the room, like a statue. Eulalia could not determine if she was alive, as she could not detect the slightest sign of breathing.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, she quickly closed the door to Arabel's room and rushed to find her master.

Soon, three people were standing in front of Idan's room. Eulalia quickly found Milica and informed her about the couple's strange condition. On the way back, they met Nemo, who joined them.

When Milica opened the door, Eulalia expected to see an angry Idan, but instead they were greeted by an empty room. The heat hadn't subsided yet, and it was unbearably hot inside, but the culprit was no longer in the room.

The trio immediately rushed to check Arabel's room. When they arrived, they saw the door ajar, with steam coming out. All three of them had a strange expression on their faces, and each of them was thinking about his own thing at that moment.

When they opened the door, they saw that the entire room was filled with steam. There were two people sitting in the center of the room.

Immediately after Eulalia left, Idan couldn't take it anymore and immediately went to look for Arabel. The system did not forbid them to contact each other if necessary. Idan knew he couldn't take it anymore.

When Idan reached Arabel's room, he, like Eulalia, had difficulty opening the door. Soon after Eulalia left, new ice fragments appeared in the room, sealing it.

Once inside, Idan didn't even bother to close the door. His gaze immediately landed on Arabel, who was sitting in the center of the room like a beautiful statue, oblivious to his presence. Idan was amazed. Even without the transformation, powerful waves of the ice element emanated from her.

The tips of her long red hair had turned slightly white, but she was generally in her human form. She was wrapped in a large white scarf that rustled softly, as if it had its own consciousness.

Something inside Idan drew him to her, and he did not resist it. He quickly walked over to her and sat down next to her. A few seconds later, Arabel, who was sitting with her eyes closed, opened them slightly and saw Idan.

At this time, her mind seemed to be drowning in darkness. She couldn't clearly distinguish who exactly was crouching next to her. All that remained in her thoughts was the warmth radiating from this man. Like Idan, something inside her was drawn to him.

She slowly touched his body, and at the same moment, a wave of warmth spread throughout her body, which finally relieved her severe condition. Her mind began to clear, and she recognized Idan, who was sitting next to her. Realizing this, she did not ask any questions, but immediately rushed to him and hugged him tightly.

The warmth radiating from his body seemed to be the only source of light in the cold and empty valley. She held onto him so tightly, as if her life depended on it.

At that moment, Idan felt something completely different. The cold from Arabel's body was like a refreshing drink of water in a hot desert. And when she hugged him and pressed her body against his, Idan couldn't help but moan with pleasure. He couldn't describe what he was experiencing right now. She was his salvation, just as he was her salvation.

Finally, Idan was able to calm his raging emotions and close his eyes. His mind went blank and he fell asleep. At this time, Arabel, like a koala, hugged him from behind, closing her eyes. From the collision of heat and cold, the room began to fill with steam.

It was this picture that the trio saw when they opened the door of the room.
