Chapter 20: It’s me, Mom!
As when Noctlisa had confessed to Jett earlier, her expression remained unreadable. Her half-lidded eyes widened slightly, and her lips remained straight. Her gaze on the Shadow Weaver in her palms was intense, and when she looked back at Jett, he figured he'd nailed it.
She's pretty damn cute, isn't she? Having sex with her showed me a whole new side of her. I wonder how much stronger she is now with the Shadow Weaver.
After exploring her curves and inner warmth, Jett was itching to see what his maids could do in a fight. He wondered if it'd be cool to pit them against each other.
That'd stir up a serious contest. But a no-rules brawl? Nah. Gotta think that through—it's a killer idea, but maybe too crazy.
Pushing that thought aside, Jett picked up the dark gem. "This thing looks awesome," he said.
Noctlisa peered at the gem. "This here's a Shadow Evolution Gem. Gobble it, and it'll twist one o' your skills into the shadow element. If it's refined right, it'll boost your dark defenses. Only the toughest ones get their gritty mitts on something like this."
Jett nodded.
This world thrives on conquer and devour—every reward so far has followed that pattern. My skills are already top-tier, so eating this gem might not backfire. Maybe I'll even get black lightning. That'd be badass.
"Having more options sounds awesome. I want to use this gem—got any clue where or how I should do it?" Jett asked.
Noctlisa replied, "It's best done at night when there ain't a moon in sight—just pitch-black darkness all around."
Jett grinned. "Got it, so that's on hold. What about those reins?"
