Conspiring an Agonizing Death

"Hey, let me give you some beast souls since you've advanced to the purple stage recently and may not have any higher level one," Nyla said in a thoughtful manner.

"I don't need it." He responded and refused her generous offer.

"Ah...why???...At least take an Armor beast soul it will keep you safe" Nyla said in a requesting tone.

"I don't need it," Rio said again in a calm voice.

"You worry that if I give you my best soul you might gain feelings for me, right?" She asked with an enigmatic expression on her lively face.

"No...it's not that. I just want to get them on my own." He spoke to her.

"Just take this one. When you have got a good beast soul you can also give me some. We are friends after all." Nyla said in a vibrant tone and stood in front of him.

Rio halted his footsteps and looked at her doll-like adorable face that was decorated with her positive smile.

She moved her right hand to place it on Rio's forehead.
