Chapter 61 - Devils Invitation (1/2)
The two spirits glowed brightly before they resumed their previous route. Due to Pavāka's threat of staying here, Tama grumbled a bit before allowing Nik to gain affinity with Gravitation, which was quite strange as he didn't feel anything.
'Do I smell like... gravity?'
Nik questioned Pavāka through their shared senses to which he received an affirmative response.
As it turned out, the spirits actually 'smell' the other elements and spirits. Well, Nik couldn't blame them, Spirits smell great. He could tell from his personal... let's call it a personal experience.

”Is it done?”
Yus asked out loud, hoping to hear the confirmation directly from the spirits only to hear a deafening silence as the two Koi spirits kept swimming in circles, chasing each other once again while floated in the centre of the pool.
”Sigh...”
Her expression fell as she knelt in defeat. This was the first time she ever heard the voice... no, a conversation of three spirits. While La seemed to be a man... no, a spirit of few words, Tui aka Tama, seemed to be the chatty one.
Now that Yue concentrated on the two fishes, La seemed to have more steady swim, his body would turn around gently while Tama swam in stark contrast, his fins flaying around while maintaining the same speed, as if enjoying the swimming itself.
”Uhm... are you asking me?”
Nik asked with an amused smile. Her expression tickled him while the change from defeat to annoyance and shame caused his grin to spread wider.
Swimming forth, he reached the edges of the pool before picking himself up as a bone piercing chill immediately affected him, making him immediately put on his clothes instead of flexing his member in front of Yue as he had planned before.
Damn that cold!
”Huurrrr! So, Yue, can I leave?”
He asked while rubbing his hands against the opposite arms while chattering slightly, his words immediately elicited a sad expression from Yue as she sighed and nodded.
”Yes, let me lead you back.”
”Thank You.”
Nik nodded with a smile. He really wanted to try bending the gravity. Even the notion felt quite otherworldly, but still, it was possible.
Yue had clearly shown how much she could affect inhumane people like Nik with the strengthened physique by bending the gravity.

”So? How did it go?”
Keeping her eyes on the receding back of Yue, Karna asked absentmindedly. Even her fist remained clenched as she could sigh inwardly.
”Take a look for yourself.”
Nik grinned as the continuously rotating currents of energy seeped into the middle of his palm as Nik tried connecting with the water.
Plop
Almost instantly, Nik started to feel his energy being used at a slow pace while he maintained the fist-sized blob of water mid-air.
”Hmm... let's go.”
Karna nodded, expressionless, and sat back before picking her wooden pedal while hinting Nik to pick his own pedal.
”Did something happen?”
Nik wondered as they started rowing the boat towards his igloo.
