Chapter 279: Abyss & Nesephise (2/2)

”Nesephise… Let me hear you sing. I am also a singer, although my voice is… quite hideous.” Said Abyss.

”You sing as well?” asked Nesephise while opening her eyes wide. She didn't imagined a warrioress such as Abyss to do such feeble things.

”Haha… Well…” sighed Abyss.

”Let me hear you out then! Maybe I can get some inspiration from your voice! And I bet you're not hideous at all! That's just what you think.” Said Nesephise, while holding Abyss hands.

”Erm… Hahh… F-Fine…” Abyss sighed, as she looked into the water and opened her mouth.

”La~ La~ Laaa~”

FLASH!

Abyss voice suddenly became oddly loud, as if it was a massive microphone, the sound waves emanated from her voice turned into pure and obscure darkness, flowing everywhere into the swamp!

TRUUUUMMM!!!

”W-What the…?!” Nesephise was left shocked as she looked at Abyss sing to her heart's content.

Her voice was so hideous that it made everywhere it reached tremble! The dirt cracked open, the water trembled, and even small fish began to pop up from the water, floating over the water… they were dead!

Bugs began to fall from the sky too, and even nearby frogs and salamanders died out of a stroke!

She was resisting thanks to her powerful spirit protecting her and also because Abyss didn't targeted her but ”everything else than her” making her less susceptible.

But even then… this was terrible.

”B-By the gods…” she sighed.

”Haha… Ugh, this is my voice! Chaos always says that my voice is very pretty… I know he only says it to make me feel better… He would never dare to make me feel bad being honest… He's such a sweetheart… Uwah, I miss my Chaos…” cried Abyss.

”I-I see… Indeed, I would say that your voice is quite peculiar! But… have you tried not… sounding like that?” asked Nesephise.

”That's not possible, my voice my default becomes like this. I think it is because of my race as a Shoggoth, I am part of an ancient race of beings created to become servants of ”Outer Gods” or whatever… we are not made to sing.” Sighed Abyss.

”I-I see… How… did you came to be, Abyss?” wondered Nesephise.

”I… I was summoned by Chaos. In my previous life I had died as a laboratory's guinea pig… When I died, I thought I was a goner, but a sweet voice whispered to me, and told me to take care of Chaos… After that, Chaos brought me back to life in another side of the Universe as a Shoggoth!” said Abyss.

”W-Wow… That's amazing… So you were summoned… to think such powers exist… You're very unique, Abyss… But I feel like you're a sweet girl by yourself… even if your voice is quite peculiar, or if your race is not the most common there is…” said Nesephise with a gentle smile.

Abyss detected not really any fear in her words, she wasn't praising her out of fear of being killed or because she was intimidated, Nesephise was just being friendly just because that was how she was…

”Nesephise… T-Thanks… You're also a nice person!” said Abyss.

”Hehe… Now watch me sing for a bit, if you detect any note that might need to change, point it out, okay?” asked Nesephise.

”Sure!” said Abyss.
