Chapter 28- Purification
[Keeno POV]
Approaching Pram’s home, we noticed a gloomy feel around the clinic. Pram’s expression darkened and she started to run toward the clinic. I followed quickly behind her, and we entered the building. We found Miss Mill and Ashe standing beside the bed of an old human man.
“What’s going on?” (Pram)
“It’s nearly his time. Pram, ring your bell for a while.” (Mill)
Pram shut her mouth tightly and manifested her Soul Weapon. It was a bluish-green bell about the size of a softball. When she rang it, it made a delicate yet solemn tone. The old man laying in the bed became visibly more relaxed and he started to breathe slower. He opened his eyes one more time and looked at the people that surrounded him. When his eyes met mine, they widened a little more before his expression turned serene. He stopped staring at me and closed his eyes for the final time. As he took his last breath, I saw his soul leave his body and float over to me before it started to orbit me.
‘Ama, what’s happening right now?’
{Go outside and get out of sight. Then summon your Soul Weapon.}
I did as she said and left the clinic. I walked around to the back of the building and summoned one of my swords. The faintly glowing grey orb seemed to become more energetic, and it flew to the edge of the sword. The second it touched the flames, the grey seemed to start burning away until the soul became a pure white and fading away. At the same time, I started to feel a bit fatigued.
‘Ama, what just happened, and why do I feel so tired now?’
I slowly made my way over to a box that was placed by the clinic and sat down on top of it. I leaned back against the wall and unsummoned my Soul Weapon.
{You just purified that soul, Keeno...I...you shouldn’t be able to do that yet.}
Ama fell into a confused silence before speaking up again.Ne/w novel chapters are published at novelhall.com
{Keeno, go home as soon as you can. We need to discuss this, it might change up our plans for your training in the future.}
I nodded my head and sat there for a few more minutes before feeling better. I got up and made my way home. When I arrived and walked inside, I went to the closest comfy chair and basically fell into it. Hearing that, Fia came into the room from her study.
“What happened?” (Fia)
{Someone died and their soul started to follow Keeno, she summoned her Soul Weapon and when the soul touched it, it was purified.}
“...I’m glad we found this out now. I have to change up the training plans now.” (Fia)
“Alright. Honestly, I’m kind of wiped out right now, so I think I’ll just head to bed.” (Keeno)
“You do that. If Pram comes over again and asks what happened, I’ll let her know.” (Fia)
“Thanks.” (Keeno)
I slowly got up from my seat and made my way to bed.
Chaos Realm:
Keeno: ...Really?
Luna: No rest for the fluffy, Keeno. It’s time to learn how to cook.
Keeno: ...*sigh*
Tamamo: Now, now, you know that not many can match Luna’s cooking.
Keeno: Yeah, after trying it last time I want to eat more, but can I not just sleep tonight?
Luna: Like I said, no rest for the fluffy. You will wake up feeling refreshed, but I need to make sure you know how to cook, because seeing what you and Fiametta eat when you don’t go out is honestly unbearable now.
Tamamo: And I enjoy seeing Luna in a teaching setting.
Keeno: See, I have no problem learning to cook from you, but will I even remember it when I wake up, and even if I do, it will just devolve into the two of you flirting.
Luna: ...
Tamamo: ...
Luna: Now, to get to work.
Keeno: ...*sigh*
