Chapter 297: Just as or even more lazy. (2/2)

Unfortunately for him, Jinx was just as or even lazier than him.

Since he still didn't have the mood to find a Beast, Ozul left it for later and decided to check the most important factor of this new ability of his.

'Can I control it?' That was the ultimate question that would decide how useful this ability actually was.

Trying to remember the familiar feeling of activating this cover of darkness, he tried moving it around him according to his will.

Just as he did so, this space with less light suddenly shifted towards him. However, only he was able to feel this minuscule movement. If he was not doing it himself, there were chances that even he might have missed it.

Clenching his fists harder, Ozul tried his best to compress the space, forcing it to close in on him. Sadly, no matter how hard he tried, the darkness barely moved towards him before regaining its previous position.

'I can't do it,' Ozul concluded, ”But... It is certainly possible.”

There was no denying the fact that he had failed to move to control the space to close in on him, but if it moved even if just a little, it proved the point that it was possible.

The only reason he didn't put force into trying to move it away from him was that he simply couldn't. It wouldn't even budge when he willed it to move away from him.

Moreover, he just had a feeling that he should try to compress in on him instead. For whatever reasons he didn't know. For now, he wasn't even able to move it an inch and was too lazy to keep forcing it right now.

”Haa...”

Not only was he lazy, but he only realized it now that activating this new ability of his kept draining his stamina. It wasn't much but trying to force it to compress was what made him exhausted.

With that, he had also summarized all of the changes his body had gone under after regaining his arm.

There was nothing more for him to test as of right now. And since that was the case, he turned around and went back on the stone before closing his eyes again.

It was afternoon and the sun was about to set but he still didn't want to go back to the tower. For now, he hadn't regained complete control over his own hearing, and being in the middle of so many people annoyed him to no end.

As he was again back to being depressed about not even being able to control his own hearing, he forgot to take in mind that this task was almost impossible for normal people.

Gaining control over one's own hearing so they heard less? How would a person even begin to do that?

Ozul hadn't realized that him being able to gain control over his senses was also unique to him.

He didn't know if it was the presence of Jinx, but no Beast or even a normal animal dared to come nowhere near them all this time.

Just like that, he spent the next couple of hours sorting out his thoughts before finding a tree to lean on and sleep. There was no point in going back to the tower anyway.

.. .

The next morning, he felt better than ever and if not for the burning ray of sunlight falling directly on his eyes, he wouldn't have bothered to wake up at all.

He had ordered Raven and Blaze to rest for a few days and the task he gave to Haley wouldn't have been completed in just a single day either.

So until then, he had nothing to do. Sleeping was the best way to pass time.

At this time, Jinx was also snuggled up to his body, sleeping soundly.

Although he wanted to change to a different tree to avoid the sunlight, he also didn't want to wake her up.

'Uh...'

If it was any other being in the world, he wouldn't have hesitated to choose his comfort over the other, but it was different with Jinx. He somehow couldn't bring himself to wake her up.

Not having any other choice, he released a bit of the Ball of Purity before flattening it out and putting it above them.

Holding the small roof he had created over them even in his sleep was no problem for Ozul. He had never truly lost consciousness anyway.

Just like that, he spent another day just lying around in the middle of the forest with Jinx.

.. .

While Ozul was gone for these two days, Raven and Blaze had already rested enough and wanted to move out to complete their mission right away.

However, they couldn't do anything since they were supposed to first tell Ozul before leaving.

And he was nowhere to be found...
