Chapter 103: Sound, Void and Sun [3]
***
Amon looked at Daniel and smiled apologetically.
"Forgive me Daniel, but I have alcohol intolerance."
Daniel squinted his eyes a little but then, he relented.
"Oh. That's disappointing. And here I thought we could share some tales of our lives.'
He set one glass in front of him and started to drink the other.
"You know Amon, I have taken quite a liking to you." He sipped his wine.
"I'm so glad to hear that Daniel!" Amon exclaimed in turn.
He chuckled and raised his glass.
"It's no big thing, we are quite similar after all." His voice started to layer. It had started.
He was infusing his voice with miasma now and in a much higher density.
In the novel, it was described that the deeper and layered the voice got, the more miasma he was infusing.
Of course, he was doing it extremely carefully in order to not trigger the miasma sensors.
They were still in experimentation so they were still not perfect.
It was also described that the voice would echo multiple times in the target's mind.
It would start to settle and take over them by each second.
Fortunately for Amon, he felt none of those things.
An indicator that his voice had no effect on him.
Nevertheless, Amon still mimicked the effects that Michael got in the novel.
The past 2 weeks, he had been training continuously to mimic the expressions and the effects that Michael got in the novel.
Trying his best to observe from the current time, remember from the novel and put it on his face.
And though he succeeded in mimicking the initial expressions and gestures, he had no doubt The would be caught later on.
Hopefully, the situation would be solved by then.
"I also once used to be an orphan and a bottom ranker at the academy. No matter how hard I tried, I failed to push through." Daniel spoke further.
Amon nodded subtly, his eyes turning more hazy.
"I see.."
He didn't know if Daniel was telling these stories because he wanted to or because the wine was making him do it.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com
Though, if he had to go for one, it would be the former.
"I thought it was the end of the road for me. I was such an elegant and hardworking cadet. I tried my best." He rubbed his hands.
Mimicking what Michael did in the novel, Amon brought his hands to his head.
"That must have been so hard..... on you Daniel..." He said, his voice lazy and also tinged with frustration.
"I wasn't able to notice it before because of your perfect mimicking but midway through, it
all became clear to me." His voice resounded.
From his expression, he looked quite amused and intrigued.
"But how did you know of this and why were you mimicking? Did you know from the start?"
He asked.
He took a small pause to see if Amon would speak but the latter said nothing.
"But then again, I should have expected it. From the start, every plan of mine has failed
because of you."
His tone was growing more chilly now.
Daniel sighed.
"It's really surprising why you aren't affected by magic. But in any case, I'm quite
disappointed Amon." He stared at him.
Amon kept looking at him with a blank face, still not saying anything.
"You were such a great prospect..." For a moment, disappointment flickered in his eyes.
Then, his amusement started to turn cold and his gaze turned icy.
And the next words that came out of him were completely merciless, and lacking any emotion.
"But I'm afraid I'll have to kill you now..." He brought his hand near Amon's brain.
The latter was completely calm till the next moment.
And just as Daniel was about to flick his fingers, suddenly in the same hand, a device appeared
out of thin air.
A mana bomb...
Before the man could elicit any reaction, Amon grabbed his hand from his own hand, which
was glowing in a purple hue.
Or more accurately...
He grabbed the mana bomb.
"I apologize but I still have my life to live." His neutral words came out of his mouth.
Daniel, who's eyes were wide open at the sudden move, recovered and tried to punch Amon in
the face with the same hand.
Unfortunately for him and to his immense surprise, in the next moment, Amon vanished from
his spot.
Just like before, the latter was unable to show any reaction before the mana bomb in his hand
exploded.
And along with that, a sharp slicing pain was delivered to his ankle.
