Primordial Soul's Rebirth

"Well, first of all, all of the people you called us here to save are not here anymore."

Alex didn't outright say that the people Misty came looking for to save were dead.

He could tell that Misty was going through a lot, and there was the fact that a guy she used to know well, died in front of her just so that she could call for help.

"They are not here?"

Misty asked in a very low voice.

She was not dumb enough to not understand what Alex was doing, but she still hoped that the meaning behind Alex's words was not what she was thinking.

"I will get to that, but before that, let me tell you guys what this altar does."

Alex decided to talk about the altar so slowly give Misty the idea of what she avoided.

He wanted to let her know that she was alive and that's all that matters.

But then he thought.

'Why am I thinking so much?'

He snapped his finger and the next second, pink gas started getting released from his body.

They came out of the pores in his skin, but Misty couldn't see it.

Alice, Ann, and Noctura who were still invisible could see it, but they didn't point it out since they could tell that Alex was doing something.

'What is….'

Misty frowned as she felt something strange entering her body but before she could understand what happened, her eyes turned blurry and her brain went to sleep.

Misty's body, however, was still standing.

She was awake as well, the only thing that was off about her was the saw she was looking at.

Her eyes were unfocused, but she kept staring at Alex with whatever focus she had left in them.

"Your friends are dead, all of them."

Alex spoke to her, and other than a slight change in her expression, there was no change.

Just her eyebrows twitched a bit before they returned to normal.

"Argon killed them all for a single purpose: growing stronger."

Alex continued, but Alice asked in confusion.

"What are you doing? What's happening?"

Alex looked at Misty for a while before he turned back to Alice.

"I used one of my abilities," Alex replied simply with a shrug.

"Which one?" Ann asked curiously.

Alex had so many abilities that they even forgot what those were.

"I haven't told you guys about this one, I guess."

Alex spoke with a thoughtful expression.

"You have more abilities?? No wait.

Forget it, just tell us what this ability of yours does."

Alice asked in surprise before she sighed.

'What was I even hopping for? He has an ability that could continuously help him add more abilities to his stock.'

Alice was thinking about the system.

It can give Alex abilities in a way, after all.

*Chuckle*

Alex shook his head with a chuckle before he replied.

"Well, it's nothing harmful.

I just used one of my abilities to make her calm, she would stay calm no matter how shocking the news was.

After all, the last thing we want is her breaking down."

Alex shrugged as he replied.

He had never used his incubus ability to the full extent before, or more like he never had to.

But the situation right now was perfect for it.

His incubus aura could be used in many ways, to make people feel horny, to make them feel attracted to you, to make them feel safe around you, to calm them down, and many other things.

What Alex did was use it to calm Misty's brain down.

Misty was listening to everything right now.

She knew that she was under Alex's skill, and she knew that it was for her own sake, but she couldn't move or speak.

In normal cases, she could be able to do it, but right now, Alex was using his power much more than he should have, so it caused her brain to shut down for a while, or slow down for a while.

"What about the side effects?"

Ann curiously asked, causing Alex to look at Misty again.

"Wait, she can hear us?"

Ann suddenly asked as she saw Alex looking at Misty.

"Yes," Alex replied without looking away from Misty.

He knew that right now, Misty would be calm about everything, until she was under the skills effect, but what about after that?

"Then you don't have to answer my-"

Ann spoke after she heard Alex's words but Alex waved his hand.

"It's fine, she needs to know it as well so that she can be ready for it."

Alex shook his head as he looked at Ann before he looked back at Misty.

"The only side effect of this ability is that it doesn't make the pain/trauma vanish, it just pushes them away for a while.

So, in a day or two, it will come back to you, everything that you are supposed to feel right now, you will feel it at that time."

Alex answered Ann's question while looking at Misty.

He did say that this ability doesn't make the pain go away, but in reality, this ability can actually do that, but the problem is that it would change the personality of the one it's being used on.

Ann and Alice also looked at Misty, but to Misty, everything seemed fine.

She felt like it was fine, after all, it helped her calm down.

But she also knew that she was feeling like this because of Alex's ability.

She kept looking into Alex's eyes as if trying to tell him something and Alex smiled as if he got what she wanted to say.

"All right, so about what happened to your friends, well, they were used as a sacrifice on the altar…."

Alex spoke as he looked at Misty.

It was a demonic altar after all, so of course it would take something to give you something.

'Is the energy that I feel from the altar demonic energy?'

Inwardly, Alex was talking with Sophia.

[Yes, and no.

It is a form of demonic energy if you want to know and some people do call it demonic energy, but in reality, it's not demonic energy.

It's just an energy that is a bit better than mana, that's all.]

'Form of demonic energy?'

Alex asked in confusion.

'There are different forms of demonic energy?'

[Not like that, it's not actually the demonic energy, I said that it is not demonic energy, right?]

'What is it then?'

Alex could feel the signatures of demonic energy in the energy that the Altar was releasing.

He wasn't sure what it was but it caught his curiosity, so now he wanted to know.

On the outside, however, he explained what happened here to Alice, Ann, Misty, and the carefree Noctura.

/// There is going to be a time skip soon, so please be ready.

It won't be long, probably 1 month, but still, a time skip, and soon I will be delving into the background of one character that I have just shown glimpses of, yet never introduced. ////
