System Distributing Villain: Guide to Conquering Heroines' Hearts!
Chapter 103: 103 | No One Gets Left Behind'W-why is she looking at me like that? Did she figure something out?' Dante caught her gaze from the corner of his eyes and his heart jumped.
These moments always scared the shit out of him when they happened but whenever he looked back at them later, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.
'Did her bloodline awaken because of him? Because he became an awakener?' Natasha's eyes moved between Dante and Emma's floating body. 'It's as if fate itself is pushing these two together... like they were always meant to be.'
The thought left a bitter taste in her mouth.
Aside from Ryan, Natasha was also aware of the extraordinary luck her female students carried. None of them were as ridiculous as her son but each one of them probably had enough luck to rival a mid-sized nation on their own.
No one could challenge them in their chosen fields. Emma was proof enough of that.
A girl from the slums was about to become the richest person in the world before she even turned 30. Not only that, every single one of them had the potential to surpass her in strength someday.
But Natasha was a truly strange person.
Since she was a child, she had never been intimidated by "luck" or "talent" or "potential." Almost all of her enemies had more of those things than she did.
And every last one of them died by her hands without fail.
'But what should I do if my opponent is the girl I raised like my daughter?'
This question popped up in her mind multiple times after she decided to seduce Dante. She won't give up on Dante no matter what but a part of her couldn't bear to break her student's heart either.
Natasha knew she couldn't keep avoiding this question forever.
If Dante knew what she was thinking, he would have told her not to worry about it. He never once thought about choosing between any of them.
The moment he decided to go after Natasha and his big sisters, he already knew where this road would end.
All of them or none of them.
There was no in between.
He wasn't the kind of person who chased women just to throw them away after they served their purpose.
If he made a woman fall for him, he was keeping her for the rest of his life. Simple as that.
Call it greedy, call it selfish, he didn't care.
He'd rather be the villain who never lets go than the hero who lets everyone down with a pretty excuse.
'Is she suspicious about the timing?' Dante noticed the conflicted look on his master's face. But she didn't seem as shaken as he expected.
'Good. I hope she stops doubting herself.' He was sure it wouldn't take long for Natasha to adapt.
"Wait, those are..." Natasha's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. She was looking at Emma with a stunned expression.
Dante followed her gaze and an amused smile formed on his face.
Emma's ears had stretched into sharp points that poked through her ice-blue hair and her skin had turned a shade paler.
'It's really the perfect fit for her.' he thought, pulling up a system window.
[Ice Elf Bloodline (Legendary)]
[Description: The bloodline of the ancient ice elves who once ruled the frozen north when the world was young. They were said to be born from the first winter itself. Those who carry this blood command ice not as an element but as an extension of their will.]
[Techniques: Frost Body, Glacial Domain, Ice Construct, Frost Bloom, Winter's Veil, Absolute Zero]
When he was searching through the bloodline options for Emma, he went through dozens of Legendary picks before this one caught his eye.
An ice elf. Cold, proud, sharp-tongued, and devastatingly beautiful.
He picked it without any hesitation because it was basically Emma with pointy ears. Part of him chose the bloodline because she would look cuter and be even more tempting to tease, but there were two real reasons.
The first was a technique called Absolute Zero.
[Absolute Zero]
[Description: Brings everything within a short radius to a complete standstill. Mana stops flowing, techniques collapse, barriers dissolve, reinforcements vanish, and time itself freezes for all targets caught inside the zone.]
[Those trapped are stripped down to nothing more than their physical body. The user alone remains unaffected. The stronger the target, the shorter the effect lasts.]
'As long as she masters this technique, she can win almost any one-on-one.' Dante didn't say all because there were certainly exceptions.
Stronger targets might be able to resist the time freeze but having their mana stripped was still ridiculously overpowered on its own.
The second reason was the mana technique that came with the bloodline. Starting from Legendary, bloodlines came packaged with their own mana technique.
The Ice Elves' mana technique was called the Eternal Frost Breathing.
A Divine grade technique.
Though some of its effects were still locked at her current level.
Just like their mana technique, the Ice Elf Bloodline's ceiling was also Divine grade. So he wouldn't need to swap her bloodline for every upgrade.
***
An hour passed.
The glow around Emma's body flickered once before fading out completely. The ice shell cracked down the middle and her body dropped.
Dante caught her in his arms before she hit the bed.
"Mm..." Emma's eyes slowly opened and the first thing she saw was Dante's face looking down at her. Then Natasha standing behind him with her arms crossed.
"What happened?" She blinked, looking between the two of them with confusion. "Why are you both in my room?"
She had absolutely no idea about the mess she caused. The frost covering the walls, the ice crawling across the floor, the fact that half the hallway outside her door looked like it had been hit by a blizzard.
"Look at your ears." Natasha said with a smiling face.
"My ears?" Emma reached up and her fingers touched something pointed where her normal ears used to be.
Her face went blank for a second before her eyes shot wide open. "W-WHAT IS THIS?!"
Before she could lose it completely, a warm hand reached up and gently pinched the tip of her new ear, rubbing it slowly between two fingers.
"Cute." Dante said with a grin.
Emma's legs went weak in his arms. "S-stop that, you idiot!"
She had no idea what happened to her body during the awakening but one thing was already painfully clear.
Her ears had become a weak point.
'W-why does it actually feel good?!'
