After Marrying 5 Yandere Wives, I Obtained a 10,000x Return System

Chapter 221: The System’s Next Requirement... YANDERE?!

Without the slightest hesitation. He dismissed his Titan form.

Valzareth dissolved into particles of Void energy.

Luke returned to his human appearance and sprinted toward her with everything he had.

Then without saying a word. He pulled Aurielle tightly into his arms.

So tightly that it almost hurt.

Only when he felt the warmth of her body against his. Did the violent trembling running through him begin to ease.

His heartbeat gradually slowed.

And when he caught the familiar fragrance of lavender drifting from her hair.

Only then, did his shaking finally stop.

He buried his face against her shoulder, holding her as though he feared she would disappear again if he loosened his grip.

Aurielle quietly felt every bit of Luke emotions, the fear, the worry, the love.

The panic he had desperately tried to suppress.

All of it was contained within that embrace.

A wave of guilt washed over her heart.

She had never imagined her breakthrough would cause something like this.

Nor had she expected Luke to be frightened to such an extent.

Her arms slowly wrapped around his back.

"Luke..."

"I’m fine."

She gently rubbed his back, trying to reassure him.

"I’m really fine."

At the same time. Relief also filled her own heart.

She hadn’t lost him. She was still alive.

Which meant. She could continue spending her days with the man she loved.

Luke didn’t answer for a moment.

Instead his arms tightened around her even more.

As though he was silently confirming she was truly there.

Feeling the strength of his embrace. The guilt in Aurielle’s heart deepened further.

She lowered her head slightly until her lips rested beside his ear.

Then, in a barely audible whisper.

"I’m sorry for scaring you."

Hearing those words. Luke hugged her even tighter.

Without letting go, he replied in a slightly trembling voice,

"D-Don’t..." He swallowed hard.

"D-Don’t ever do that again."

He clearly wanted to sound angry. To scold her.

Yet the words came out as nothing more than a frightened stutter.

Aurielle couldn’t help smiling. Which brings a soft laugh from her lips.

She gently stroked his back before answering in a voice overflowing with affection.

"As my husband wishes~"

Silence returned. Neither of them spoke again.

They simply remained in each other’s embrace.

To anyone watching. It might have looked like they had forgotten the entire world.

Luke never asked what had caused the explosion. Or why it had happened.

From everything he knew. Nothing should have been capable of entering the Time Chamber without him noticing.

He had personally confirmed that fact during his long stay there.

So, the only thing that mattered to him right now was that Aurielle was alive.

Aurielle also chose not to explain anything. Not because she wanted to hide it.

But because she understood something.

No amount of words could reassure Luke more than this embrace.

As long as she remained in his arms. He would know she was safe.

That alone was enough. For now.

Though, the quiet moment between them didn’t last long.

"MASTER!!"

"MY LADY!!"

Still even after hearing all of them. Luke still didn’t loosen his embrace.

He simply continued holding Aurielle as though he never intended to let go again.

Aurielle smiled helplessly. Then she quietly whispered,

"Luke."

"You do realize. I’m currently naked."

"..."

Luke froze.

Only then did he remember.

In his panic...

He had completely forgotten that the explosion had destroyed all of Aurielle’s clothes.

"Ahem."

Without another word, he opened his System Space, took out a fresh set of magical clothes, and handed them to her.

"Here."

Aurielle accepted them with a gentle smile.

The moment she put them on. The enchanted fabric automatically adjusted itself to her figure.

Within seconds. It transformed into the familiar loose robe she usually wore inside the Time Chamber.

Aurielle lowered her eyes to examine it before smiling again.

"It still amazes me." She softly ran her fingers across the robe.

"These magical clothes can change into whatever I want every time."

Although she had already been wearing magical attire before the breakthrough.

She still found the craftsmanship fascinating.

After all.

Such clothing was incredibly expensive. Only skilled Artificers or high-ranking Mages could create items like these.

A few moments later. Everyone finally arrived.

Aurora was the first to rush over, followed closely by Vaelira, Margaret, Elena, and the others.

The moment they saw Luke and Aurielle standing there safely. Every one of them let out a long sigh of relief.

The overwhelming fear that had gripped their hearts finally disappeared.

"Elena." Luke looked toward her.

"Take care of Aurielle." The moment those words left his mouth.

Aurielle shot him an annoyed glare. She had already told him she was fine.

Yet he was still treating her as though she might collapse at any moment.

Luke pretended not to notice.

Because after what had just happened. He wasn’t willing to take even the slightest risk.

As for everything that had occurred during her breakthrough. That discussion could wait.

Right now...

He needed a little time alone. If he stayed beside Aurielle any longer. He knew he would never let go of her.

The fear lingering in his heart hadn’t completely faded yet.

His emotions were still in turmoil.

Elena immediately nodded.

"I understand, My Lord."

Without another word. Luke quietly turned around and walked away.

Meanwhile.

Aurora, Vaelira, Margaret, Elena, and everyone else gathered around Aurielle, asking one question after another.

"What happened?"

"Why did that explosion occur?"

"Are you injured anywhere?"

Aurielle answered them one by one while occasionally glancing toward Luke’s departing figure.

...

A few minutes later.

Luke was walking alone across the distant hills of the Time Chamber.

The surrounding wind quietly brushed past him.

Then, the system’s voice echoed inside his mind.

[Luke.]

[You need to be more careful when using the Time Chamber.]

[If the energy released during that breakthrough had been even slightly stronger...]

[The Time Chamber itself could have been destroyed.]

Luke remained silent. He had already realized it himself.

The explosion released during Aurielle’s breakthrough had possessed raw destructive power comparable to a peak Golden Knight.

That level of energy had actually damaged the Time Chamber.

Even now...

It was repairing itself by drawing mana from the Mana Well.

Luke let out a slow sigh. "I’ll have to upgrade them too."

The Time Chamber. The Mana Well. The Healing Spring.

All three required special blueprints from the System before they could be upgraded.

Unfortunately.

During the past seven days, not a single blueprint had appeared among his daily rewards.

Perhaps, his luck had simply been terrible lately.

Luke shook his head.

There was no point dwelling on it now. He could think about it another time.

Just then the system spoke again.

This time, its words instantly eased the lingering heaviness in Luke’s heart.

[Luke.]

[The next milestone has been reached.]

[Would you like to check it?]

Luke blinked.

Then he smacked his forehead.

"Ah..."

"I completely forgot about that."

A smile finally appeared on his face. His earlier panic and worry subsided, replaced by curiosity and anticipation.

Without hesitation. He nodded.

"Show me."

The next moment a familiar notification appeared before his eyes.
