Chapter 219 - The Ark Of Borrowed Power (2/2)

”No turning back. From now on, you won't be human again.”

A large blue orb emerged from the boy's hand and into Ashley's arm. As the newfound power shot through his body, the Mafia boss braced the fiery pain of his arm. It took quite a substantial amount of willpower for Ashley to reopen his eyes again.

”Time Alter: Reverse The Shift!” yelled Ashley as the entire place plunged into bright light.

”My arm ached for days but Hwee's body was back to normal as soon as the light went off. The only thing was that I started to see certain events happening before it was occurring. At first, it started small, like knowing what mission I was assigned to before the boss says it. But then...”

”It's not really a lot of power. If a human uses any form of Magecraft, there's bound to be some side effects. But my question is, who gave you that power? There are very few people who can do so,” asked Gillian seemingly interested.

”Wait, so not all Mages can transfer their power to others?” asked Ashley, confused.

”That'll be overkill. We are from different worlds. Hell, different Universes. Our bodies are only conformed to what powers we are born with,” explained Gillian.

”Could it be Raiyen?” asked Gillian, looking Ashley intently.

”I never did get the fella's name. I was busy being in pain and worrying about my girlfriend,” answered Ashley, sarcastically.

”And now, my whole life as a human has been turned into something that I loathed.”

”You hate us that much?” whispered Mavislin, pouting at Ashley.

The stickman flinched slightly as he saw a tear forming in the young girl's eyes. His eyes widened as he tried finding something to calm her down.

”Not you... Others that are bad... Uh...”

Ashley the stickman struggled to find his reply as the girl in his lap was starting to be quite upset. He could only cuddle her tighter.

”Not her?! You were on a mission to kill her!” exclaimed Gillian.

”Doesn't mean that I hate her!”

”I beg to differ!” yelled Minwoo.
