Chapter 225: Courting Death (1/2)

Avilia calmed her soul, waiting patiently in the subspace in the dark, void-like place in Moby's mind as she couldn't help but become slightly agitated and excited thinking about what was going to happen and what she was about to learn

Moby had already completed his part, and now everything was up to her.

Her arms crossed, floating in mid-air in a cross-legged formation, she stretched her arms out wide in anticipation of the beast that would undoubtedly trespass on her domain any second now.

And, just like she expected, not even a second later, a bright light suddenly appeared in the darkness of her subspace, illuminating the void below with a magnificent violet glow that consumed everything in its path.

Out of the star-like radiance in the sky emerged a beast, the feeling of their power and aura radiating to every edge of the void, Avilia barely even noticing it due to its thinness.

The beast was undoubtedly a cat, no, more like an overgrown kitten that looked unnaturally large, being a quarter the height of an average human, its deep purple, almost see-through fur shining brightly from the light still behind it. Its red eyes were able to be clearly seen through their closed, see-through eyelids, the glow in them strong and profound, streams of void flowing out of it along with most of its joints.

Exuding with elegance, grace, and a hint of superiority, the kitten flew down to the ground, its purple glowing tail wagging as it landed on all fours, scratching its head with its hind legs before licking its fur.

The scene looked almost identical to what had happened the last time, giving her flashbacks that she immediately ignored and did not let linger or distract her.

She inwardly took a deep breath, suppressing her power level down all the way to 20,000.

She did not want to scare them or repeat the same mistakes as last time. She prided herself on her smooth tongue, and her ability to negotiate, manipulate, and extract information, those skills had gotten her out of too many situations in her past to even count and she would be damned if a little kitten would prove her wrong.

She put her hands to her side, no longer crossed as she floated towards the kitten who's back was still turned to her, not noticing her presence at all.

”Hmm... it seems like I have a guest in my domain... Hello stranger, its nice to meet you, it gets lonely here so I'm really glad that I can have some company,” Avilia spoke, attempting to start a casual conversation, trying her best to seem as least intimidating as possible.

The kitten was startled, both inwardly and outwardly shivering as it had no idea who it was that was in their sacred domain and how they were able to sneak up on them. Yet, it did not care as whoever it was, they were about to pay miserably for their actions. It had orders to complete and could not entertain the playful wishes of a child that was simply a fake, lingering ghost in the boy's mind it was controlling, it being a slight possibility from what it had been previously informed.
