Chapter 227: New Ability!?

Despite her best efforts, she, Avilia Graymore, the demon lord, had failed… A feeling that she had not felt in years… Nothing but her heavy breathing filling the once again silent subspace.

Avilia stared at the white dust in front of her fade away into nothingness with eyes of bewilderment. A flurry of complex emotions on her face as she tried her best to fathom what had just happened, her hands tightly clenched into a fist, no longer bloody from the kitten's innards as even that faded along with its body, stomping her feet with such vigour that the entire dimension shook once more from her might.

The entity that was supposed to serve as her answer and key to what Abilities were was now gone without a trace, its essence now being absorbed by Moby's dragon blood just like the last time.

Her magic that did not allow for self-harm was still in effect, which only meant that there had to have been some outside influence… Some sort of death spell that only activated when mind-reading magic was in play, all to protect their secrets, a powerful spell at that, even being able to prevent Avilia from doing anything against it, although she was far from full power.

The first thought that crossed her mind was that the only magic that could be so powerful could only suggest angel magic. Yet, she knew for a fact that what she felt was not angel magic at all… She had felt and been on the receiving end of almost every conceivable angel spell imaginable and the sensation was nothing like it, as it was completely foreign to her.

Had it had been a new type of magic originating from the mortal realm? Had her magic gotten so rusty and sunk so low that even mortals could be effective against her or was that type of magic stronger than she expected or have some sort of irreversible condition that would always block outside tampering and work 100%.

At this point, she had absolutely no clue, but she was leaning more towards it being a new type of magic the more and more she delved into her thoughts…

In that split second that she was actually able to enter the kitten's mind, it did manage to extract a few images, albeit completely corrupted and unreadable, too blurry and shadowy for her to interpret, the most she was able to make out was sparkling white liquid and the ominous smile of an old man she could not at all recognize no matter how hard she tried.

She also managed to make out a few sounds. However, just like the images, they also served her no purpose. To her, all they sounded like were really odd static with a few letters mixed in which was not much at all to go by, the voices completely unrecognizable.

On the surface, a plan that was meant to serve as an explanation somehow ended up making her even more confused than before.

Yet, that was not entirely true. Now, she was more than sure that these beasts were not just a manifestation of a person's spirit and ability as the humans previously assumed but being specifically sent there by an unknown group, powerful ones that were more than adamant about secrecy. Their motives and identity still unknown, as well as if they were friends or foes. All that she was able to go off of was that they either hated, or were afraid of demons and knew about their existence, which she only managed to know by a completely accidental blurb from the kitten which was the reason that made her snap in the first place.

She took a deep breath to calm her mind, she had never been the type of person to be completely overwhelmed by her emotions but what had happened to her was a valid exception in her opinion as the initial shock was too great for even her to come to terms with.

She now fully understood that what happened was not her fault and was out of her control. She had tried her best and that was all that could have been done, although the failure was still hard to stomach for her pride.

She had patiently waited for many, many years to find the truth so what difference would a few more do? All that things meant was that it was not meant to be revealed now but at a later time. She had just been too unrealistically optimistic about things.

Now, all she needed to do was wait until Moby woke up to deliver the news of her failure and what she had discovered, a hint of embarrassment and unease in her heart, feelings that she never even thought she would able to feel, especially in such a moment as she had failed despite acting so confident right before. It was a feeling really obscure to her, as she was more than sure if it were the same her just before she and he had met, she would have felt no such thing…

****************

Moby slowly opened his eyelids that felt to him, even heavier than a black hole, his vision all blurry and clouded as the world slowly came back into view, making him instinctively raise his hands to wipe his eyes, his hands moving in extreme slow motion since he had almost forgotten the situation he was in and the fact that his entire body was still extremely stiff.

As he wiped his eyes, everything became far more clear, his hazy mind snapping back into reality as he remembered exactly what had just happened from before.

With wide-open eyes, he sat straight up, his head no longer on his pillow and his back no longer on his soft mattress as he looked around, his eyes wandering to inspect his surroundings, a little off-put since he could not see any ability notification pop up like he had expected.

What he saw was the same still room as before, time extremely slowed.

When he looked down to his side from his position on the top bunk, Alex, Ray, Nags, and Jason were all still exactly where he remembered they were, their eyes still closed deep into their meditation.

As he looked more straight ahead, he noticed that Jayden was still on his bed meditating right next to where he slept, making a smile appear on his face.

As he moved, he began to hear the ruffling of what could only sound like paper. When he looked under him, he noticed a folded paper placed on the blue blanket still covering half of his body which greatly piqued his interest, making him pick up it and read its contents.

'Hey babe, I just wanted to let you know that I've been patiently waiting for you to wake up, it's been over a day now and I've yet to notice you move a single inch… I'm really scared something happened to you. If you wake up and find me meditating, just know it's only because I know that you would not want me to waste the time I could have used on training on just aimlessly watching you and holding your hands… But, I guess if you're reading this then it means that you're alright hahaha! Maybe even the first person to ever possess 2 abilities! Love you! -Jayden"

Moby's eyes became broad, his smile growing even more with an immense warm feeling in his heart as he looked down at the letter and back up at Jayden who was still to his side.

When he looked down at his right hand that was still holding the paper noticing that it was far sweatier than the other one, a clear, red handprint on it which could have of course only suggested one thing.

He inwardly tried to suppress his tears, he felt undeserving of such affection and only showed to prove how truly worried Jayden was about him, as it became more than clear that she thought that there was a high possibility that he had actually died.

It made him reminisce about how their first encounter was like and how they had both grown so much together since that point. If he was being honest, back then, he never expected to ever be with such a person but now he could not imagine himself with anyone else.

All of a sudden, a barrage of notifications flooded his field of vision, almost like Avilia had been waiting for him to finish his thoughts and get accustomed to his surroundings once more before she sent them out, which now that he thought about it, it was probably exactly what she did…

Moby's mind became flooded with information as he read every notification 1 by 1, his eyes and mouth growing wider the more he read as it seemed almost too good to be true… Like he had confirmed his theory to cheating life as 100% real...
