'She is playful, kinda like a vixen, and is always throwing herself at my master, but since he likes her back, it's all good. Besides, they look quite good together. I shouldn't butt in between them. Maybe they would end up as a couple?'
Amelia wasn't ignorant about the matter of love and could tell that they were attracted to each other one way or another.
She paired the two in her mind and blushed.
Then… she shook her head, getting rid of the image in which Roy and Delilah were not only married but also holding babies.
Meanwhile, Arlo gawked at his nephew.
"I can feel a terrifying power coursing through your veins. And that mark on your head… it's something unique to those who have removed their second limiters. You are only an unawakened, but you have already succeeded in removing it!"
Arlo didn't think Roy would really end up doing what he said, and that too, in less than a day.
Thus he was shaken to his core and kept calling Roy an unrivaled fate-defying monster.
"Yeah… I have removed my second limiter."
Roy raised his hand and showed him a fist with arcs of black lightning cracking around it.
This verified his claim.
Arlo took a deep breath and exhaled it to calm himself down. Closing his eyes, he exclaimed, "Congratulations! You set too high a bar for yourself and then went on to make history. Everyone is bound to be awed by you in the adulthood ceremony. When you awaken, your third limiter will be naturally removed. I'm curious how big of a monster you'll become then. You are going to become a big man in the future. Don't forget about this uncle then!"
Arlo raised his hand to give Roy a few good smacks of love on the back but realized that the person he was talking to was checking his reflection in the window of the carriage.
'Did he even hear what I said?'
Arlo wondered as a gust of wind blew his coat. It was meant to blow hair, but he didn't have any.
"You narcissist… are you fascinated with your handsomeness?"
"If you were half as handsome as me, you would admire yourself every now and then too."
Roy burned Julian.
"How long are you going to stare at your reflection?"
Arlo didn't have any hair on his head. So he felt hurt each time he looked at Roy, whose white hair fell over his shoulder like a waterfall.
Roy turned to look at the jealous Arlo and, pointing at his own forehead, asked, "Does everyone get a mark like this when they remove two of their limiters?"
Roy didn't have anything against tattoos.
But he already had one on his neck, and now he had another one on his forehead.
At this rate, he might end up with tattoos all over his body.
There was a superman.
And there was a spiderman.
But there had never been a tattooman.
And… Roy wanted to keep it that way.
"Yeah… I have a few myself." Arlo took off his shirt, revealing his chiseled body and eight eye-catching packs.
He turned around and showed his back to Roy.
'I am wrong. There is a tattooman! He is the superhero of Far West!' Roy exclaimed in his mind, but he didn't let his internal turmoil show on his face.
A mark shaped like a five-clawed dragon surrounded by clouds could be seen on Arlo's back.
It was bigger than Roy's and more majestic.
"How many have you removed?"
Arlo raised his hand and, a moment later… opened his palm.
"Five… how did you…." Roy gasped.
"Awaken and become an aura master. There's a hidden realm unique to Baldwins where they can remove their limiters. I will take you there." Arlo wore his shirt again.
Although not as heavy as before, it was raining, yet neither he nor his clothes were getting wet for some inexplicable reason.
It was as if a barrier was separating him from the rest of the world.
Roy didn't know what power he was using to keep himself from getting wet.
But he had a suspicion that it was his soul herding ability.
"Can that place only be entered by aura masters?" Roy inquired.
"No… but they are the only ones who can survive there," Arlo revealed.
Then, he signaled Roy to go to the carriage.
"Clean up. We will be heading into the icy cold lands after you wash the blood off your body and change into fresh clothes. I don't want you to meet your cousin looking like a beggar. He would think that I abused you." Arlo has been misunderstood many times before. He didn't want his son to judge him as a monster too.
Roy looked like a mess as his clothes were thoroughly destroyed, and blood covered him.
"If you want, I can get you washed." Julian appeared next to him and pulled out a few magic scrolls.
Roy took off his clothes, stripping himself bare.
'Gosh, how could it be so big and thick?' Immediately, Delilah moved her scrutinizing gaze away from him, 'With all those veins throbbing on it, it looks like a naughty little monster!'
Delilah, remembering the shape of his shaft, felt her face heating her.
'No, no, no, I need to get this image out of my mind!'
She buried her face in her hands out of embarrassment.
Roy, on the other hand, wore a towel around his waist to cover his private parts.
"Alright, bro, blast me with water."
An instant later, Julian activated his magic scrolls.
"As you wish."
The magic scrolls glowed blue and released one wave of water after another. Each of them crashed on Roy, washing the blood off his skin. The strips of clothes hugging his body were blown away. His towel was also swept away.
Arlo was keeping the teens busy, thankfully. Thus, they were not subjected to the torment of seeing his majestic manhood.
Amelia had seen all there was to see about him, so she didn't feel embarrassed even though his violin was exposed.
Julian felt hurt as Roy's was bigger than his.
His mood was dampened.
He silently sulked.
'No, he is yet to defeat me in terms of manliness. I will prepare a magic scroll that amplifies this part of the human body explicitly!' Julian cheered up.
Amelia walked up to the baffled man and handed him a new set of clothes. "Master, please clothe yourself. I picked them according to your taste. I am sure you will like them."
Roy changed into them hurriedly.
He was not a stripper nor a nudist. If not for the fact that monsters were attracted to the scent of blood, he wouldn't have taken a bath in the open in the first place. Still, he was shameless enough not to feel embarrassed just because someone caught him naked.
"They fit me perfectly. Good job, Amelia." He patted her head. Her hair was soft and smelled nice.
'I was praised, hooray!' A smile blossomed on her face.
Julian, coughing out thrice, came up to Roy, "I see what you did back there, and I am not ignorant of Limiters. You broke the second one in the most unimaginable ways. That was a freaking nice abuse of recovery potions."
Julian hadn't learned the Limit Breaker Technique.
So it was impossible for him to remove a limiter.
Roy didn't think of teaching it to him or others either.
Like Arlo said, only Baldwins could survive breaking a limiter this way.
Hearing his words, Roy remembered that he should give the storage ring with potions back to its original owner.
"Thanks for lending it to me." Roy walked up to his uncle and passed the ring to him. "There are still a few hundred potions left inside of it."
Arlo, using his palm, curled Roy's finger, causing the ring to fall in Roy's palm before it closed into a fist, which was pushed away.
"Keep them. They will come in handy when you're injured."
Roy thanked him and headed into the Icy Cold Lands with his comrades and soon-to-be subordinates.
Arlo stored the carriage in the storage ring and followed after them.
