Chapter 226: Courting Death 2

Avilia ignored the kittens cries for help and continued slowly walking in its direction as all she saw was a slab of meat that knew too much information for its own good, almost reverting back to her demon lord instincts that consumed anything and everything around her with her aura, and her piercing gaze that was 10 times worse than any hell imaginable to stare at, making it feel like its spirit was being forcefully torn and ripped apart from the inside, not to mention it's inner instinct almost programmed in it's being screaming at him with every morsel of his existence to get the hell out in any way possible.

"Talk you filthy mongrel, talk now if you know what is good for you…" Avilia's now unrecognizable, distorted, echoey demonic voice rang through the entire subspace, sending shivers down to the kitten's very core, causing the entire subspace to shake and rattle like it had been hit by 1000 earthquakes all at once, something that the kitten did not know was even possible.

"I SAID STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME YOU FILTHY HEATHEN!" The kitten yelled once more, still on the ground as it began to slowly crawl away with what little energy and life it still had left in its body, making Avilia's anger grow even further to see her threats and insults ignored like they were nothing. 

As the kitten crawled away, it turned around, forming a ball of unknown energy in its hands, throwing it straight at the still approaching Avilia's face in a panic, almost like when a coward throws sand in the eyes of their opponent. 

Despite it being a form of mana so pure that it had yet to see anything like it before, the attack was still painfully slow and feeble just like she expected, allowing it to hit her straight in the face to prove a point and instill even further hopelessness and despair in the eyes of her opponent. 

The attack hit her dead in the face, not slowing her down at all in the slightest. Yet, to her surprise, she felt a small, slightly lingering sting or burn on her forehead where the attack hit that immediately regenerated as soon as it damaged her, which she simply disregarded as simply nothing as it continued walking towards the kitten who had yet to crack or give up.

Despite everything that was going on, despite the clear pinnacle of terror standing right before it, it still refused to speak for some odd reason. Avilia felt it almost like an insult straight to her face to be treated in such a way by such an inferior being. At this point, she was unsure if the beast was just mocking her or there was something stopping him from saying what he wanted to say.

The kitten continued crawling away, taking glances back at the demonic incarnation of pure terror still walking behind it, cursing its entire existence. 

The only known exit to the subspace was extremely far away and the demon behind her would definitely not allow it to escape, even if it tried to teleport away, the demon would still no doubt be somehow faster, meaning to protect its self and the information it knew there was only one thing left for them to do...

Instinctively and with no hesitation at all, fully understanding the weight of its actions, it closed its eyes and lifted its still shrivelled paw up in the air, its claws extending wide as it did what it had to do to survive…

From directly behind it, Avilia had witnessed exactly what was going on, a wicked smirk sprouting on her face as she could not help but be amused by her pray's futile attempts and false hope… What was happening infuriating beyond belief but she would be lying to say that she wasn't amused at the same time… She had never felt so alive in many, many years…

"Anti Death Cacoon,"

With but a flick of her wrist and gleam in her blood-red pupils, she spoke in that same indifferent, distorted, otherworldly voice of a higher being. 

before it even realized, the kitten's entire body, the kitten's entire body was abruptly consumed by a purple aura that covered the outside of its body. 

As the kitten's claws approached its body at breakneck speed, it was abruptly halted seemingly out of nowhere, making it open its eyes only to see its hand forcefully stopped by a light aura of purple that it could not shake away. 

When it looked up, it once again witnessed death itself, smiley wrying, walking with that same drawing aura and ugly, hellish appearance only a few meters away from it, causing its entire body to shake once faster than the imagination could conceive, tears running down its face as it screamed a banshee like-scream with its now ghostly face.

"AHHHH FUCKING STAY AWAY!"

It lifted its claw up once more, stabbing it straight at its heart. But, just like before, it was stopped by the same purple aura surround its body, causing its despair to somehow grow even further, looking back up to see the demon come even closer.

The panic in its heart multiplied, now doing something even more painful, yet not as painful as what it currently felt still being alive. 

In the blink of an eye, it opened its mouth and quickly chomped down to swallow its own tongue… Yet, just like before, its attempts were futile, its teeth stopped by the same purple energy as before, mere millimetres away from its own tongue, even when crunching down with all of its might, it was not even able to make any progress, the haziness,  frustration, panic, and horror in its eyes increasing somehow even further, it's breath and heartbeat in complete sync, going even faster than a machinegun. 

"WHY CAN'T I DIE! LET FUCKING ME DIE! ARGGHH!" He screamed a banshee-like cry as he continued his futile attempts at killing itself.

*Slash*

*Slash*

*Slash*

"WHY! WHY! WHHYYY MEE!!" Continuing its futile attempts, a river of blood flowing down from its eyes as it felt like it was living in a pure nightmare, falling into deep madness, refusing to give up its clear, futile attempts at self-harm, Avilia looking down at it with a mixture of various emotions on her overbearing smile. 

For one more time, the kitten tried to stab away at its heart, however, unlike the other times, this time its hand was stopped far away from its own body, its entire body no longer able to move, almost like it was being bound by invisible chains, its screams no longer able to be heard as its throat was tightly gasped and choked. 

It was lifted high up in the air by some sort of unknown force, like being held up by invisible hands as it was floated and brought closer to Avilia by a simple flick of her wrist, now being forced to peer deep into the bottomless abyss of her purple eyes and demonic visage, the tears of blood on its face accelerating, its eyes losing its bright red colour as its fur turned almost gray, trying its best to scream its pain away only to be not able to.

"Stop your useless attempts, you look like a mad fool! Your life and death are now completely in my hand… You seem to be not wanting to cooperate… So bet it… You buried your own grave... All it means is that now I have to MAKE YOU COOPERATE!" Avilia spoke with a cold, indifferent expression on her face that bore a hint of excitement and amusement as she looked at the clearly grieving yet expressionless kitten in front of her that was bound by her anti-death cacoon and various invisible devil hands.

The kitten managed to force its still shaky, bleeding eyes closed as it accepted its fate, giving up on its life that it now knew it could not lose, its soul trapped in its body that was still shaking so fast that it would put any vibrator to shame …

The last thing it saw was the purple flash of the demon's eyes and her hand slowly nearing its head, getting bigger and bigger as everything was consumed by it.

Avilia's left hand was now firmly yet lightly grasping the wolf's soft head, making sure to not crush it like the grape it felt like. 

With a smile on her face, she inserted her demon energy into the still alive kitten's brain, safely navigating it where it was supposed to go with unbelievable accuracy. 

There were no secrets that could be kept from her demon magic, the truth would all be revealed, even if their mind had been altered...

It was finally the moment of truth… When she would read its mind, to see the unknown truth that the beast was so desperately trying to keep secret, and how it even knew its origin as a demon, and why it was so instinctively afraid of her despite her nice demeanour and suppressed strength, almost like it was programmed inside of them.

"It's time…" Avilia calmly mumbled to herself with anticipation as soon as all was prepared, as she dived straight into the kitten's mind with no more than a deep breath for preparation. 

However… As soon as she plunged in, it only managed to see nothing but a single flash of white light, she was thrust out, back into her original body… The body that was once grasped in her hand was no longer felt by her. 

She opened her eyes, full of shock and anger as she watched the body of the purple kitten turn a see-through bright wide as it slowly faded away into bright white dust, nothing left of him anymore despite Avilia's best efforts to stop the process…

"WHHHATTTT!!"
