Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!

Chapter 218: A side effect?

Idan had never heard Arabel swear like that before, and it took him by surprise.

Despite the pain, she clenched her fists and swung them, unable to open her eyes because of the dried blood.

”Belle,” called Idan in a voice not his usual one.

Arabel stopped when she heard his call, but it was clear that she was still tense and behaving cautiously.

Idan did not approach her, deciding to give her time, hoping that Arabel, like him, would remember who she was and how they ended up here.

Arabel said in a hoarse voice, which pleased Idan.

Despite her hoarseness, there was hope in her voice.

”Yes, Belle! Itʼs me!” exclaimed Idan, delighted that Arabel had finally recognized him.

”Fuck, Dan! It was you!” Arabel suddenly cursed, and there was anger in her voice.

Idan was speechless again. There was a brief silence.

”Dan?!” — Arabel called out loudly when there was no answer.

”Belle?” called Idan, still a little confused by Arabelʼs sudden change of mood.

”Help me open my eyes,” she asked, still feeling pain all over her body and unsuccessfully trying to open her eyes on her own.

Idan pulled out a bottle of water, opened it, and carefully leaned over to Arabel, wetting her eyes. He carefully poured water over them until the blood softened and Arabel was finally able to open her eyes.

She was still wearing the Ghost mask, so her brown eyes first looked up at the night sky, and then immediately focused on the half-naked Idan.

”D...” — Arabel had no sooner uttered the word than she froze when she saw Idan in his human form. What appeared before her eyes made her forget for a moment about the pain her body was experiencing.

”Ah!” moaned Arabel, as she suddenly tried to sit up.

[Ding! Hosts. Congratulations on your Ascension.]

[Ding! System level restrictions are lifted.]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 21.]

[Ding! Your level has increased to 22.]

…

[Ding! Your level has increased to 25.]

[Ding! The system has blocked further levelling up until both Hosts take full control of their bloodline and get comfortable with the sudden levelling up.]

[Ding! A new type of Energy has been mastered — the Energy of Madness.]

[There is a new stat in your Status — The Energy of Madness.]

The system, which had been waiting patiently for them to recover, finally spoke up, sending them a string of notifications.

”The trial is really over...” Idan sighed softly after reviewing all the messages from the System.

As the System had said, Idan and Arabel had completely forgotten about what had happened to them during the Ascension Trial. Everything they had experienced since it started had been erased, and they both felt a void in their memories.

”What happened to your nose?” — Arabel suddenly asked Idan after noticing his bloody nose.

Idan looked at her strangely, wondering whether to say it or not. However, in the end, he decided to remain silent.

”The flame...” Idan noticed that the flame that had been burning all this time was slowly fading away. And that didnʼt seem like a good sign to him.

The condition of Idan and Arabel left much to be desired. To be honest, it was just awful. And around the fire zone, many people were waiting for them, and they were all awakened.

Idan wanted nothing to do with these awakened ones and only wanted to get as far away as possible and as soon as possible.

Arabel couldnʼt take her eyes off Idan, slowly coming to her senses. At that moment, Idanʼs face was not wearing the Ghost Mask, and Arabel could see his new true appearance. And what she saw was starting to drive her crazy. Such a drastic change in Idan was simply absurd. And, thinking about it, for some reason Arabel wanted to laugh.

”Ahh!” — Arabel moaned, feeling pain all over her body.

”Ahahaha...Ahh!!” Arabel began to moan in pain between laughs.

”Fuck! How to stop it! Ah!” she cursed, between a laugh and a groan of pain. Arabelʼs laughter made her whole-body tremble, and her trembling made her whole-body ache. No matter how hard she tried to stop laughing, she couldnʼt, and the pain wouldnʼt go away with it.

”Dan! Dan! Help me!” Arabel cried in tears, unable to contain her laughter and pain, which were becoming more and more unbearable.

”Iʼm here, Belle, Iʼm here!”—Idan rushed to Arabel and hugged her tightly.

””Heh heh heh! Whoo...” — In a fit of laughter and crying, Arabel clung to Idan and hugged him, and Idan gently hugged her back. Her condition was strange: she was laughing and crying at the same time.

”System! What have you done to my Arabel? You... you broke her!”— looking at Arabel in such a state, Idan could not contain his anger and mentally shouted at the System.

[Host! Your partner is fine. This is just a side effect of exposure to the Energy of Madness. It will pass over time.]

”A side effect? Oh no, not again.” — Idanʼs mood soured.

After the first ascension trial, they already had problems with the new bloodlines. And now the System claimed that Arabel had a new side effect due to the Energy of Madness?

Surprisingly, Idan himself felt calm and did not notice any changes or oddities in himself.

Surprisingly, Idan did not notice any changes or oddities in himself. At the moment, he couldnʼt explain why he was feeling normal while Arabel was suffering from this side effect.

Lost in thought, Idan did not notice how Arabel calmed down a little and stopped laughing, but continued to cry.

Arabelʼs sudden movement made Idan freeze.

”Hey! Hey, what are you doing!” he exclaimed, removing Arabelʼs hand from his makeshift bandage on his belt.

”Show me!” demanded Arabel. Although her eyes were still filled with tears, Idan also noticed a certain strangeness in them.

”Show what?” Idan asked.

”What, what? Your little brother!” — Arabelʼs words finally convinced Idan that the situation was much more serious than he had imagined.

”A little brother? ” Idan asked, and Arabel nodded her head, then froze abruptly.

The Arabel Idan knew would never have dared to say such a thing.

It seems that the current Arabel has lost all brakes in her head. And it foreshadowed trouble, a lot of trouble.
