64 Chaper 12: Asteria (1/2)

”John, is everything alright?” Asked Ariel once she noticed that i was staring at the small crater formed by my Black hole

”Everything's fine, let's head back eleanor” I replied

Ariel didn't seem convinced but she nodded

After that, we walked back to the ice sphere i had formed. It took a while to get there because i was out of magic, In fact i couldn't even use deprehendre... Is this an after effect from the possession..?

She seemed to be able to use chants, could she teach me them too..? But i don't really want to have to chant, i Like having something unique like chant-less magic... Maybe even i can make a black hole...

”John, why are you just staring at your hand? Let's go” Said Serena

”Y-Yeah”

Moreover where did she find enough magic power to do that... The amount of pressure required... Unless she used her own magic power..? But she's in my body... How would she...

Argh! I'm confused. There's no point in asking so many questions about it.

More importantly, This sensation, My heart can't calm down... The strange feeling in my stomach...

”I'm getting excited...” I said with a weird grin on my face

Ariel and Serena who happened to hear and notice me at that moment, both got startled and slightly scared.

Man, I can't believe I lost, I thought I would be unmatched for a long while after reaching the 15th floor, But I found someone that actually managed to beat me...

”Looks like I'm about to encounter even stronger people... I can't wait!” I said to myself

”Hey, Ariel, Don't you think john is a battle junkie?” Serena whispered to Ariel

”Eh?”

Ariel looked over at the weird expressions of excitement I was making and looked back over at Serena

”Yes...” She said with a saddened tone

”What are those two whispering about?” I muttered

-----------------------------------------

”John! Serena! Ariel! You're all back!” Said Eleanor Joyfully as she grabbed on to my hands

”Yeah, told you I'd be back.” I replied

”Says the guy who got caught in the enemies trap 10 seconds into the fight” interrupted Serena

”Can't argue with that.” I replied

”Hm? Shouldn't this be the part where you disagree with me?” Asked Serena

”I guess some people just change” I replied with a bright smile on my face

”A-Ariel! Something's wrong with john!”

”Eh?!” Said Ariel with a panicked expression

”Serena, please, you're embarrassing me, it's obvious that I'm~ O~Kay~ Right~?” I said with a smile as I made weird poses

Ariel's eyes lost life and it seemed like her soul was slipping away

”Eh? Ariel i was joking, Come back, Don't leave us!!”
