Chapter 562 A New Trick...

"L-Let me go, you guys! She needs my help!"

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Darius: "No can do, lad."

Asmodeus: "Listen to us, grandson. You have to have some semblance of faith in her abilities."

Hakon: "It is true, young lord. My extensive reading shows that faith in your partner's own autonomy is integral to a healthy relationship."

Absalom: "Since when do you read things like that, brother?"

Hakon: "What I do in my free time is my business and my business alone."

Hajun: 'What an odd trio of siblings that you three rabisu are...'

"Monica needs help, all of you let me go!"

Despite the pleas of the youngest prince, none of the generals released him and instead held him down tighter so that he didn't run out the door to get to his 'betrothed'.

"Little help here, please...?" Asmodeus asked in irritation.

Abaddon finished wiping jelly off of Courtney's mouth... and Mira's before he finally glanced at the group lazily.

"Son... just rest for a bit, yea?"

The swirling tattoos on Abaddon's body flashed a warm green color and young Straga felt his eyes beginning to get heavy.

Without being able to resist in the slightest, his head suddenly dipped a couple of times before he finally began snoring lightly.

The men exhaled in relief as they finally released him now that he was no longer attempting to interfere in the examination.

"You couldn't have done that a few minutes ago?" Asmodeus asked.

"I was actually watching what was happening, unlike the rest of you." Abaddon nodded towards Monica's display.

There, one could see clear as day the scene of her diving into the water, but the way she did it was truly thoughtful.

So as to disturb the water as little as possible, she dove for it as a mass of flame and only turned back to her original body at the very last second.

Starting with her fingertips, more and more of her body grew back underneath the water without causing a splash or disturbing the surface.

And the reason why she'd done this was clear.

At the moment where the abyss walker finally entered the clearing, it found nothing waiting for it.

No tracks, heat source, signs of activity, there was nothing.

The water had a few ripples to it, but... that could have just as easily been from the storm.

The creature didn't know what to do.

After flying around the lake clearing for a few moments, it eventually just flew off in search of prey that maybe wouldn't be so hard to track down.

"Clever lass..." Darius muttered in an impressed tone.

"But is she alright down there? I can't imagine how low she must've had to drop her body temperature in order to not to be detected." Hajun questioned.

Everyone turned to glance at the monitor for a bit longer as they also waited to see an answer to this question.

The seconds that ticked by felt like hours, and Abaddon was glad that he finally decided to put Straga to sleep for just a bit.

If all of them were this anxious, he could only imagine how his son would feel.

Miraculously, Monica suddenly came jumping out of the water like a cat trying to escape a bath.

Soaking wet, shivering, and coughing furiously, she crawled onto all fours before collapsing onto the snow.

Fire spirits aren't necessarily weak to being submerged underwater like most people would think, but it's not exactly good for them either.

When paired with the fact that the water was cold and Monica had intentionally lowered her body temperature, she certainly wasn't doing too well at the moment.

She needed to get her temperature up quickly, but it seemed like she was having a hard time using her powers after everything she had been through in such a short timeframe.

Mira held out her hand and another flame appeared over her palm.

This one was a very pale blue; almost white in fact.

And unlike Jasmine's that was almost unbearably hot, Mira's were so cold that they burned.

Continuing his experiment, Abaddon fused the two flames together using his own abilities.

In that moment, he created a flame that was exactly similar to the one Monica was displaying.

He had a small theory about how something like this might have been possible, but he needed a bit more information to confirm it fully.

Turning to two very specific members of his forces, he offered them an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, I know that it's a bit early, but would you two mind going to test our young fire spirit a bit once she recovers?"

The pair looked at each other momentarily before shrugging.

"Of course we don't mind, but..." one began.

"Is there any particular reason why you want her tested so soon?"

Abaddon smiled like a proud father, even though Monica wasn't his daughter.

"Because if I am right... this courageous little fire spirit may have just opened up an entirely new pathway for all of her kind."

"Hello~! Mommy Nyx is here!"

Nyx waited and waited, but no one came to meet her at the front door, even with her over the top entrance.

Poking her lips out a bit, she folded her arms in a huff before she took the liberty of intruding into the house.

"Well, they can hardly blame me for intruding now. What if they're hurt or something and need my help? I have to see for myself."

Floating off her feet, Nyx flew into the common area living room where she sensed multiple presences.

Sitting on the leather sofa were a total of three individuals.

The twins, Yemaya and Yemoja, and little Nubia, only she wasn't quite so little anymore.

She had grown up into a young girl resembling around fifteen years of age and in possession of a tall and slender figure courtesy of Abaddon and Eris.

The siblings looked to be at the beginning of a rainy-day movie marathon, and they hadn't even bothered to leave their pajamas.

"Well hello, girls-"

"""Our father isn't here.""" the trio replied in unison.

"...I don't just come here for him you know? I happen to be very good friends with your mothers too."

"They're sleeping. Probably won't be up for another hour or so." Yemaja said absentmindedly.

"And even when they do, they have to go to work with dad too." Yemaya finished.

"I see..."

Nyx tried to follow along with whatever the girls were watching, but it was some cartoon about a princess kissing a frog and she honestly didn't find it too exhilarating.

Not compared to what she came here for at least.

"...So where is your father working?" she finally asked.

The twins finally smirked to themselves while making a knowing expression.

Nubia started to answer, but suddenly she clutched her head hard as she began to experience a wave of unbearable discomfort. "I-I don't feel..."

""Sister!"" the twins cried worriedly.

Their panicked screams were the last things she heard as she unfortunately passed out.Top novel updates at novelhall.com
