Chapter 267: Good Night Sleep... (2/2)

'So, do you have any other questions?'

'Yes, what were those hand signs you were using?'

'Well, those are simple hand signs that allow me to cast some of my spells. Normally, I would be able to cast them silently, but in your body, I needed the hand signs for support; that will be the next part of your training,'

Moby inwardly nodded before continuing what he had to say.

'So, this is the biggest question I have… How the hell were you able to use everyone's powers all at once? Even Natalia, Alex and even Jason who were supposed to be dead…'

Avilia took a while to ponder before she responded with a deep sigh.

'To be honest, not even I'm sure how it happened. Normally, that kind of thing is reserved to when you become a greater demon and assign your sins. And, in an evolved sin mode, you would then be able to call upon the power of those sins to aid you in battle, even if they were dead, with of course a maximum of 7 powers at a time. I think it might be part of that dark form you got probably from your dragon side that not even I'm completely sure of…'

'Do you know how I can tap into it again? Does someone have to die every time I do it?'

'I honestly have no clue; anything dragon-related I am no more useful than a goldfish,'

'So, that immense power I used… I'm sure it took a lot out of me and came at a price… My body had been feeling weird and weak all day, so I'm sure it's a side effect right? When I checked my stats they seemed to all be fine though, so what's going on?'

'Oh! Don't worry! There were no real consequences to doing what you did, but maybe try to avoid doing it again. Don't put yourself in those situations anymore,'

Answering that question, Moby felt Avilia's tone slightly shift into something more sombre which he found off at first but then disregarded as he thought deeply about her words that he had already contemplated and made up his mind to well before since he had learned his lesson...

He took a small pause and a deep breath before thinking of the last thing he wanted to say with a smile on his face.

'Even if I was barely conscious during the fight, I still managed to pick up on something… Something like ”Me and Avilia are actually already in love with one another! Once I get her a new body, we will get married and rule over the 3 realms together!” I thought lying in sin mode wasn't allowed… So? Do you want to explain yourself?'

Although Moby could not see it, he imagined Avilia's face redden up before she spoke.

'Don't get too ahead of yourself! I said that to save us! Once you get to my level, you can make yourself believe anything even in the moment!'

'So does that mean for that split second you actually convinced yourself that you were in love with me? You know I'm with Jayden right?'

'Shut up! It's nothing like that!'

She yelled back, only for them both to inwardly burst out into laughter, only Avilia's laughter carried a slightly different tone. It was the only time in seemingly weeks that Moby ever remembered having so much fun.

It was not like he didn't care about everything around him, but even once in a while laughing things away is a good thing, as he stared up blankly at the ceiling above, ready to go to sleep.

'Hey, Moby, can you go see that Abby girl again soon? I need to talk to someone very important…'

Moby thought about it slightly before the sudden realization hit him…

'I was planning on going again tomorrow. Is it about this Alucard person. The undead spirit that took over Alex's body?'

'Yes, I need to talk to him. I was going to do it last time but it was hard since communications were off in that room and I didn't want to disturb you in your moment. I'm sure it will be easier tomorrow when you're feeling better,'

Moby nodded back to Avilia's words with his eyes closed.

'Of course, I don't mind… I'm sure he might know a lot of things about your people you want to know… Seeing that he's here, his old master is probably no more… And I assume he is someone you cared about right?'

The atmosphere suddenly became silent, the sound of the heavy wind hitting the windows before she finally responded with three words that held so many emotions that dug deeply into Moby's heart before they both decided to go to sleep...

'Yeah…He is...'
