Chapter 95
"Let"s go to your domain. I want to practice some things," Zach uttered in a calm voice.
Aria covered her chest with her hands and said, "What do you mean by practice?"
"No questions…"
Aria reluctantly stood up and stared at Zach.
"What are you waiting for? Open the d.a.m.n portal," Zach uttered with a sigh.
"You have the key to open it," Aria remarked.
"Uhh…" Zach raised his brows with a puzzled look on his face, "So you can"t open your own domain?"
"I can open the portal from my domain to this world, but I can"t open the portal to my domain from this world," Aria responded in a calm voice.
SIGH!
Zach sighed and conjured Aria"s token in his hand. Then he turned to Aria and asked, "How do I open it?"
Aria shrugged her shoulders and said, "Maybe speak something?"
Zach looked at the token and muttered, "Open the portal to the domain."
The token turned into a key, and a portal appeared in front of Zach and Aria. However, the portal had a keyhole in between to activate it.
Zach inserted the key and turned it twice before turning it to the different side three times.
"What did you do?" Aria asked with a confused yet calm look on her face.
"I remember reading a chapter about using token keys. Surprisingly, that book was written by my mother, and I was with her when she was writing this chapter," Zach a.s.serted with a distant smile on his face.
"I asked her, "Mother, how do you know that the portal will activate with this pattern?". And she replied with "It"s not the portal we are trying to open, it"s the pattern"."
Zach turned to Aria and asked, "Do you know what that means?"
"Uhh… I guess I do…?" Aria replied with a puzzled yet calm look on her face.
"Oh?" Zach raised his brows and asked, "Care to explain?"
"I think it means that whatever the lock is and whatever the key is, as long as you have a pattern, the lock will open," Aria stated.
"But why would it open?" Zach knew the answer, but he was testing Aria"s knowledge.
"The pattern is the correct key, not the actual key," Aria answered in a calm voice.
Zach clapped his hands and said, "Correct."
The portal activated, and Zach and Aria went inside.
Zach looked around and saw the beautiful scenery he saw when he had entered Aria"s domain for the first time.
"My domain can"t even compare the beauty of the death world created by the foolish G.o.ds," Aria a.s.serted in a proud voice.
"I have asked you before, and I will ask you again…" Zach glanced at Aria and asked, "What is this place?"
"This is the replica of what once used to be my home," Aria responded with a distant smile on her face.
"Can you change this to… well… that h.e.l.l-like place?" Zach snorted.
Aria clapped her hands twice, and the scenery changed.
"And what is this place?" Zach asked.
"This is what my home looks like now," Aria answered and added, "Although this is just a replica."
Zach glanced around and stood in the middle where he once fought Aria.
He could see the broken pieces of the stones and the brunt lava.
Aria noticed Zach was smiling, so she furrowed her brows and asked, "What are you laughing for?"
"This place has become nostalgic to me." Zach looked at Aria with a smile on his face and asked, "It shares an important memory."
Aria"s face flushed for a second, but it went back to normal soon after.
Zach looked at Aria"s throne that was hovering in the air and smirked. He shot a glance at Aria and jumped on Aria"s throne.
"Don"t you dare—!"
Before Aria could stop Zach or even say anything, Zach landed on Aria"s throne and sat on top of it.
Aria frowned her face and yelled, "That"s my throne! Get down!"
"Oh?" Zach smirked even more and said with a smug look on his face, "Is that how you talk to your master?"
Aria bit her lips and kept glaring at Zach with murderous intent.
"Come on~" Zach let out a loud groan and said, "Why are you angry? I am just sitting here."
Aria didn"t say anything and kept staring at Zach.
"Fine~" Zach tapped on the s.p.a.ce beside him and said, "Come sit with me. This throne is big enough for five people."
Aria jumped and sat beside Zach on the throne. She shot a glance at him and said, "Do you know what this means?"
"What?"
"A man and a woman sitting on the same throne…" After a brief pause, "It"s a custom to consider the pair sitting on the throne as a king and a queen."
"Well, we are technically married, so it"s not a big deal," Zach replied with a shrug.
Aria"s face flushed again, but she managed to get it back to normal.
Aria tried to divert the topic and asked, "So? Why are we here?"
"I want you to teach me magic," Zach a.s.serted.
"But don"t you know magic?" Aria asked with a confused look on her face. "Why do you want me to teach it?"
"Let me rephrase my sentence." Zach sighed and said, "I want you to teach me to have perfect control over my magic."
"....Like?"
"I have been trying to use it with my DT skill for a couple of days, but I can"t seem to get it right," Zach uttered in a low voice. "But I was successful once. Although I can"t seem to do it again."
Aria pondered for a while and said, "What"s your physique?"
"It"s celestial. Why?"
"So that means your body will have no problem containing the power," Aria responded in a calm voice.
"I am not sure about that," Zach commented. "The thing is that I couldn"t use magic in the real world, so my body is not trained to use magic."
"Hmm." Aria pondered for a while and asked, "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Don"t get angry, though."
"Okay, I won"t."
Aria looked into Zach"s eyes and asked, "Who is your father?"
