"Ray?" Aella screamed as her eyes lit up. She dropped her bow on the ground and ran over to him as fast as she could. She didn't use a single bit of her abilities and instead relied on her meager humane strength.
It wasn't that she couldn't, it was just that she was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she forgot the fact that she could use her abilities to reach him faster.
"Hey there, how have you been," she hugged him tightly as he caressed her softly and comforted her. He knew that his absence might have had a devastating effect on her, and that your gift after they made love to each other.
Therefore, he felt obliged to answer every question she asked.
"So where we're you? What happened to you? Are you okay?" She asked a multitude of questions in succession.
"Hey there princess, slow down a bit. I will tell you everything and that too in great detail but before that, lets have some talks with our delicate yet tight lipped prisoner," He spoke and gave her a good long kiss as it satiated her and she stopped asking questions.
Now that her rationality came back to her, she understood how emotional she had become and had acted too brazenly. What if her short outburst gave an opening to the prisoner. She couldn't even imagine the results but she was sure that they would be devastating.
Also, she failed to account the presence of Kashish. Who stood by the side and looked at everything with a lot of emotions in her eyes. Though, she couldn't act upon them. She also wanted to get near to Ray, hug him and bury her head in his chest but she simply couldn't.
It wasn't that she wasn't able to but that she didn't have the courage to do so. She was shy, and being a maiden princess; these emotions were very rare to her.
While both women dealt with their internal and emotional turmoil, Ray beckoned the prisoner. The prisoner was an elven women, her posture straight as an arrow as she had solemn air of a warrior around her.
Just by her grace and aura she released, Ray understood that she was of some standing in her clan. Her facial expressions were calm like the sea, as if nothing could shake it but it wouldn't last long. She was dealing with Ray, and he had a bank of guidance inside his consciousness. He was sure that if not him, the three consciousness's inside him would help him for sure.
He looked at her and gauged her from head to toe. Her face delicate yet sharp. Her eyes held the sight of an eagle as she sharply scanned everything in her view. Ray determined that everyone she met, she calculated coldly to find a way to kill.
Ray also held this type of thinking and he respected the elven woman from the prospective of a warrior but as a leader, he had different priorities. He wanted her to speak and for that, he had to give this beauty some trouble.
"Hey!" He approached the woman and asked as he kept his face as calm and friendly as he possibly could. Being friendly was an old trick in the book and usually worked. Also, it was his first approach as Ray knew he was in it for a long time.
"Huh?" As if scared, the woman gasped slightly as he questioned Ray's approached. Faking a scared expression, she slightly crawled back and relayed to Ray that she was scared of him.
Of course, Ray didn't fall for the trap. The woman was in a cellar and her eyes didn't look a bit like someone who was scared. He could still see the killing intent forming around her as she estimated the best way to kill him.
"Drop the act," Ray spoke as he opened the door of the cage. The woman seemed to be even more startled as she took a step back in fear. Covering her body with her hands, she seemed as if she was scared that Ray would do something wrong with her and be physical.
This made the other two girls frown. Even though they had feelings for Ray, they were also women. They held sympathy for the woman but they had even more trust in Ray. They looked ahead at what Ray would do and decided to step in if Ray did something inappropriate.
"I said drop the f*cking act," Ray spoke again. Though this time he spoke with much more authority and strength. His eyes went ablaze with mana as the woman felt the threat of her life.
The threat to her life made the woman drop the act. She held her gaze and looked up at Ray and met his gaze. Only to feel visceral fear draw deep into her bones as she looked down again. She couldn't meet with his eyes and understood that Ray was someone beyond her capabilities.
"Now then, lets start," Ray spoke as he aske this first question, "Who see you?" He asked.
As he asked the question, only silence remained in the room. The woman remained mum and refused to speak a single word. Only her eyes burned with hatred as she looked at him with deep resentment.
"Guess you don't understand your situation. I will have to show you some reality to make you speak," Ray seethed as he raised his hand. His hand glowed a purplish color as the space around him broke. Tears formed as they collapsed on their own and formed yet again. It seemed as if the space was undergoing a harrowing cycle of destruction and rebirth.
However, it was only Ray using his Void abilities to form tears and then collapsing them upon themselves again and again. He pointed his hand at the elven woman as the Void tear shot forward.
The woman looked at the incoming attack. The attack seemed insubstantial and weak. However, her instincts screamed otherwise. She had trusted her instincts many times in the battle and she did so right now as well. Her feet were planted on the ground as she exerted her strength and kicked off the ground or that's what she tried for.
As she exerted more and more strength, she realized to her horror that her feet couldn't move. It was as if something pressed down at her and compelled her to stop at any costs whatsoever. Fear finally formed over her face as she decided to use her trump card.
As an elven warrior of a great rank, she was allowed to carry a small pocket space in which she could store any one of her weapons. Before being captured, she had stored her magical dagger in there.
Her fingers moved adeptly as she seemed to pluck some strings in the air. As she did, the space changed as Ray saw a beautiful scene appear in front of him.
With the help of his Void Eye, he saw as the space around the woman's finger parted. For every time she plucked the air with her fingers, a change occurred to the space. A few plucks later, the space parted as if a code was unlocked.
From within it, Ray could sense a small pocket that held a magical artifact that brimmed with mana.
"So that's what a spatial pocket is," He smirked and remembered the whole scenario. It would help him later on when he tried to advance his mastery in space. Right now, he concentrated on the elven woman and what surprises she held.
Even though it seemed longer, the whole sequence of actions took a second or two at most. This left the two girls behind Ray in astonishment. They realized that the gap between them and Ray had bridged further away and all they could do was to work harder to catch up.
"That's some you got there," Ray smiled and shook his head din disappointment. The woman thought she could hold off spatial attacks with a dagger. Even if the dagger was a strong magical artifact, it wasn't for blocking spatial attacks. It was to channel the woman's magical energy into the dagger to deal physical damage to others.
Just like she had done with Sirius. That time, she had used her mana to coat the dagger in poison. This was another enchantment of the dagger and the dagger only had three enchantments in total.
Ray looked with curiosity as the woman didn't give up hope until the last moment. It was only after she saw her precious dagger crack and break into multiple fragments of light that her expression finally changed.
Despair got written all over her face as she braced herself for impact. Even then, she underestimated the attack. She thought that the attack wouldn't do much damage to her other than dealing some serious injuries.
"What a haughty woman. Guess she has never experienced spatial attacks. Well a finger would be enough of a lesson," Ray muttered as he changed the direction of his attack in the last moment.
The spatial cracks went forward and suddenly changed their direction. They aimed for her finger as the woman felt a sharp pain radiate through her body. Though it wasn't just her body, her soul was in pain as she held her cut finger as blood flowed out consistently.
ραndαsΝοvεl.cοm "Call the head nurse," Ray issued the command and then picked up her finger. As he did, the blood of the elven woman stained his hand as suddenly, a notification appeared in front of him as his eyes glistened with excitement.
