Chapter 209: Goodbye (1/2)
Taking a deep breath, he focused his gaze back on Jayden who seemed to be carefully inspecting her newly modified watch.
”So, Jayden, how does it feel? Do you notice anything different about the watch?”
”Hmmm… No, not really…”
Her response was quick yet she seemed to be quite sure of her answer as she continued inspecting it.
”Don't worry about it, Ray said he did it and I'm certain he's telling the truth, if you don't trust his word then trust mine,” Alex spoke with a calm voice, interjecting onto the conversation.
Now that all was taken care of, it was finally time for them to begin their plan…
Moby had already extracted Nags and Jason from all the information they could have possibly provided and relayed it to everyone else in the room, and now that the watch was modified, there was nothing really stopping them from starting.
With a big, heavy sigh, Moby looked at Jayden with solemn eyes and a bright smile, hugging her tightly in his embrace trying to hold back his tears. He knew that she had made up her resolve and she would have been far angrier at him if he kept his plan to himself.
”This is it… I think you got everything in the plan… If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask at any time and I'll be sure to answer it to the best of my abilities… If you want to back out now I don't blame you, it's extremely dangerous and might lead to many things so please take care of yourself. Don't let finding Abby cloud your judgement, stay on your toes! Don't get caught! Me and the rest are going to stay here and train, we're far too weak to face them now but I might have a few tricks to train everyone here and get them a decent amount stronger. When you're done, if you didn't manage to retrieve her, please come back here and join us okay?”
Jayden's cheeks grew red as Moby's soft voice entered her ears.
With one of her light-hearted, normal chuckles she hugged him even tighter as she looked deep into his eyes.
”Don't worry about me! I'll be sure to do this! don't worry! I have a few more new tricks up my sleeve! It's not actually as dangerous as you might think since I had been practicing with my doppelganger powers more, many of my skills got much better. I would explain it to you but I'm not sure I have enough time… Don't stress or worry yourself about anything and leave things to me! I'll be sure to get the job done and come back here in one piece!”
They had only been together for a little over a week and even still, Moby could not help but blush and feel warm on the inside when he saw Jayden's genuine, lovely smile and her upbeat, cheerful self like she was trying to hold the burden of the world on her shoulders, striving to make everyone around her feel okay.
Naturally letting go of each other, Jayden reached into her inventory and pulled out a certain crystal, a glowing, clear mana crystal with an ominous glow, the very fabric of time and space shifting in the air around it.
”I was saving this until our 1 month anniversary but I'm sure it will prove to be more useful to you now… My dad also helped me buy it so thank him not me... When you activate this, it will slow down time to around 1 fourteenth the normal speed in a certain area for upwards of 12 hours. Your bodies will also slow down by that speed but your mind and consciousness will stay the same speed.”
