Chapter 208: Demon Mechanic (3) (1/2)

Moby looked back at Ray with a nod before calling Jayden over from beside Alex so he could modify her watch.

And, without even a moment of hesitation, Jayden walked over towards Moby and Ray with a serious expression on her face.

She looked Ray in the eyes, many thoughts running through her mind before she put out her right arm, the arm that had her watch.

”So, can you fix it?” She said in a pressing tone, completely unlike her normal upbeat, cheerful self.

”I can't guarantee I get it on my first try since this is my first ever attempt but this should be more than possible… Miss Jayden…” He said with a hint of nervousness in his voice, his eyes closed for a reason that Jayden could not understand.

”Good, take your time, we would rather be slightly late than sorry. Getting killed by the barrier and not saving Abby is definitely not on my to-do list,” Jayden responded, making Ray nod before he opened his eyes, leaning closer in to carefully inspect her watch, not even looking her in the eyes a single time.

Ray was still having a hard time believing that the rumours of Moby dating the only daughter of the Griffith Family was not a lie but in fact true. Not only that but the young daughter of the Reids was part of his group as well.

Both were one of the strongest families in the country, and both being families he had dreamt of working for when he grew older. So, due to that fact along with their difference in status and never talking to each other prior, he could not help but become slightly tense by talking to her. It had nothing to do with her beauty since he knew that it would never happen and it would be suicide trying to go for the demon lord's girl.

Ray's thoughts on Moby had changed for the second time that day.

Not long ago he had only known Moby as a strong-willed, hard-working young man with big aspirations. But now, his perspective of him completely changed yet stayed the same in some aspects. He was still a fair person yet far more ruthless than he expected, the all-powerful demon lord that had his life dancing right on the tips of his fingers. He felt like they might grow distant due to their status, he had no idea if Moby even liked him, if he was acting fake towards him all these months he was hiding his true self.

Yet, he did not want to give up hope and wanted to prove himself not only to Moby but the entire world, so thoughts like those only drove him to work harder and to strive to uncover the truth by his own merits.

”Okay, everything seems to be in place, let me get started then,” Ray said, backing off from her arms, once again sitting up straight.

With a deep breath, he once again closed his eyes and put his arms out wide, Jayden and Moby both staring at him with an expectant gaze.

Suddenly, As Ray slowly opened his sights, they both noticed that his previous human-like eyes were no more, now replaced by nothing but an ominous, glowing light blue, binary numbers flowing up and down his eyes almost like it was a computer screen.

His arms that were still out wide in front of him began shifting and turning, the sound of his bones cracking filling the air, his hands beginning to swell. The sound of clanking metal was also heard as his flesh and bones began to shift, rip apart and rearrange themselves in weird ways making both of his arms turn into some sort of robot arms with various different parts, the skin around it now looking more like metal than actual flesh.
