Chapter 129: She saw it!
Chapter 129
"Phew..." he exhaled a long breath as his eyes opened slowly.
No sooner did they open than he was met with an extremely bizarre scene in front of him.
His surroundings, his room, were covered in layers of frost and visibly transparent ice.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com
His bed, cupboard, and desk were frozen in crystalline ice.
The floor in front of him had white snow particles gathered, forming a cluster of snow.
And the door behind him also had some ice coating on it along with the walls.
"...."
He finally understood that he had awakened a special physique as the tenfold reward for the target awakening an element.
He didn't expect that the reward would be a whole physique for an attribute element.
This was a delightful surprise.
In this world, there were some lucky individuals who were born with or awakened special constitutions in the span of their lives.
These special physiques or constitutions were widely sought after in this world, by both demons and humans.
People born with such constitutions were highly sought after by various factions and clans. No matter how minor a body constitution was, someone always paid attention to their powers.
In this world, there were bloodlines as well that originated from deep roots and highly superior beings to their descendants.
The more powerful a bloodline someone had, the more potential they had to unlock more innate abilities exclusive to their blood and family ancestors.
This was also one of the reasons why the five major clans have been able to persist so long and keep their dominance over other smaller or larger clans and miscellaneous organizations for centuries.
Their bloodlines were extremely dense and thick. Not to mention, the demons coveted the blood of such people badly. Especially if they were descendants of the five major clans or someone as great.
It was known that devouring such exorcists granted a very huge boost to these demons, so they were quite crazed about them and even offered tremendous prices to anyone who brought them that blood or even the person itself.
Of course, Oliver also had the direct blood from none other than the patriarch and matriarch of the Mystic Purge Clan. His blood was extremely precious.
But, had it been the case, he would have been born talented or with some talent at least due to the blood. However, he did not.
That was most likely due to the fact that his bloodline was not dense or rather was not able to balance the power of the two powerful bloodlines into one, and thus his bloodline was weaker than his siblings.
This was quite strange, how did his body was the only one to be messed up out of all siblings?
He did ask Daniel to be a proxy for him in case someone asked, but he did not expect Bella to suddenly come up.
"Oliver, are you there?"
Bella's voice once again sounded out as he contemplated whether to reply to her or not.
'Would she leave if I don't speak?'
He decided to remain quiet and wait for her to leave on her own after being ignored.
And as he had expected, she soon stopped calling out.
Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, he once again heard her voice.
"I am coming inside, please excuse me—"
She pushed the door open as it slowly creaked open.
Oliver froze in his tracks. She actually entered his room like that?
He looked in shock as he watched her face while she also met his eyes.
Both of them had a face of shock with surprise written all over their expressions.
Oliver was partly shocked by the fact that this girl really dared to enter his room just like that. He didn't expect someone like her, who used to maintain a proper sense of manners and discipline, to come in just like that.
Where did all those manners go? Isn't it common sense not to enter someone's room if they are not there? Why did she enter then?
'And not to mention, these doors seriously require locks!'
He looked at the wooden door in frustration. There was no lock there. How would they maintain their privacy like this?
Not to mention, Bella literally brute-forced the door. There was still a thin layer of ice covering the door, but she had just opened it, directly ripping off the ice sticking to the door frame.
But on second thought, when he remembered how high up on the mountain they were and how isolated this house was, there was not really a need for installing locks on individual rooms.
Especially not when someone dangerous like Alison was living there alone. Who would dare intrude in such a place guarded by a strong veteran exorcist?
Definitely someone with a death wish...
He shook his head and focused on the girl in front of him.
The room was still frozen and Bella was gawking at him and the room with a shocked look.
His eyes turned sharp, he was feeling really displeased at her abrupt entry.
She really intended to barge in his room... if she had not intended to do so then she would have left when she was met with resistance from the frozen door hinges, yet she pushed open the door.
