Chapter 225: Courting Death
Avilia calmed her soul, waiting patiently in the subspace in the dark, void-like place in Moby's mind as she couldn't help but become slightly agitated and excited thinking about what was going to happen and what she was about to learn
Moby had already completed his part, and now everything was up to her.
Her arms crossed, floating in mid-air in a cross-legged formation, she stretched her arms out wide in anticipation of the beast that would undoubtedly trespass on her domain any second now.
And, just like she expected, not even a second later, a bright light suddenly appeared in the darkness of her subspace, illuminating the void below with a magnificent violet glow that consumed everything in its path.
Out of the star-like radiance in the sky emerged a beast, the feeling of their power and aura radiating to every edge of the void, Avilia barely even noticing it due to its thinness.
The beast was undoubtedly a cat, no, more like an overgrown kitten that looked unnaturally large, being a quarter the height of an average human, its deep purple, almost see-through fur shining brightly from the light still behind it. Its red eyes were able to be clearly seen through their closed, see-through eyelids, the glow in them strong and profound, streams of void flowing out of it along with most of its joints.
Exuding with elegance, grace, and a hint of superiority, the kitten flew down to the ground, its purple glowing tail wagging as it landed on all fours, scratching its head with its hind legs before licking its fur.
The scene looked almost identical to what had happened the last time, giving her flashbacks that she immediately ignored and did not let linger or distract her.
She inwardly took a deep breath, suppressing her power level down all the way to 20,000.
She did not want to scare them or repeat the same mistakes as last time. She prided herself on her smooth tongue, and her ability to negotiate, manipulate, and extract information, those skills had gotten her out of too many situations in her past to even count and she would be damned if a little kitten would prove her wrong.
She put her hands to her side, no longer crossed as she floated towards the kitten who's back was still turned to her, not noticing her presence at all.
"Hmm... it seems like I have a guest in my domain... Hello stranger, its nice to meet you, it gets lonely here so I'm really glad that I can have some company," Avilia spoke, attempting to start a casual conversation, trying her best to seem as least intimidating as possible.
The kitten was startled, both inwardly and outwardly shivering as it had no idea who it was that was in their sacred domain and how they were able to sneak up on them. Yet, it did not care as whoever it was, they were about to pay miserably for their actions. It had orders to complete and could not entertain the playful wishes of a child that was simply a fake, lingering ghost in the boy's mind it was controlling, it being a slight possibility from what it had been previously informed.
"Insolent fool! You are being far too arrogant for sounding like a little girl! This is no place for you! How dare you call my sacred chamber your domain? You are courting death! I'll have yo-" The kitten's surprisingly rather deep voice was abruptly cut off as soon as it turned around to see who it assumed to be a simple ghost of a little girl.
However, what it bore witness to was far, far different from what it had imagined…
It was an adult humanoid girl, her fair white skin and appealing figure did not catch its eyes, but the cold, indifferent look in her purple eyes and red pupils that sent shivers down to its very core, horns growing out of her head and her wings spread out wide in between her back and silky purple hair.
Although it sensed no real power coming from the person in front of it, danger signals were flying off left and right in its head, is entire body urging him to shut up and run away almost like it had been programmed in its very being as it knew exactly what it was going up against, the fear so intense that its smooth fur immediately became dry and shrivelled, its entire body shaking faster than a vibrator as it could not help but let out a terrified shriek, it's voice completely unrecognizable from its deep state.
*EEEK*
"D-DEMON! STAY AWAY!"
"Ahh!"
The kitten screamed once more, its eyes growing even wider as it instinctively put its tail almost like it was stopping its self from speaking any further, clear fear and regret in those wide eyes, realizing that it had revealed too much...
With the mention of those words alone along with how it so quickly wanted to hide what it had so impulsively said, something inside Avilia snapped, her state unlike anything she had been like in months as she completely dropped the act, clearly noticing that the kitten was not willing to cooperate, her confident that it was not her acting at fault, as she now looked at it with a deadly glint in her eyes instead of her usual, casual expression that she bore before.
"What did you say… Demon? Explain yourself now before I forcefully suck the information right out of you and make you feel the worst, most unimaginable torture in all the 3 realms, ignore all you knew about pain before, this pain will far exceed anything you thought was possible,"
Avilia removed the suppressor that she had put on herself, making her power level raised to her original, unimaginably high, almost unquantifiable level that was still considerably weaker than in her prime, her suffocating aura overwhelming everything around it as she slowly inched closer to the kitten in front of her that now looked completely unrecognizable as it struggled to breathe, its body shaking over twice as fast, its fur now a dull purple instead of it's normal deep, luscious colour, the void-like aura around its body and tail disappearing as it dropped ass first on the ground with eyes filled with sheer terror as it watched the grim reaper of absolute wretchedness slowly walk towards it.
"I-I SAID STAY AWAYYY!"
