“Seriously?” Andrey spoke in a low voice.
Jack looked down at him, covered in blood.
“Why aren’t you dead? I stabbed your heart!?”
Jack yelled.
“Did you really?” Andrey asked, and at that moment, Jack realized they were back just before he activated his Whitechapel Domain and started beating his opponent up.
“What… happened?” Jack looked around and saw he had no blood on him, “I’m sure I just killed you!”
“Yeah, I wouldn’t have known. Do you remember that ability I told you of? Astral Blaze? Yeah, it can do some really awesome things.”

Still trying to lift his hand without pulling Yuki’s hair or head up, Andrey felt a small panic taking him over.This is starting to drive me crazy. This energy. It’s flowing in my hand and I can’t stop it. I can’t control it. I can’t grasp it. It’s too strong. It’s gentle, yet as brutal as doing whatever it wants with it.Oh… okay the… energy has revealed something to me. It appeared in my conscience… it is… ‘BLUE’... What? Blue? Mana is blue… What the heck…Suddenly surprised by a strong force squeezing him.He broke his meditative state and looked down at Yuki.She was crying. Andrey woke up and looked around. Beautiful curtains, nice furniture. It seemed familiar, but he couldn’t remember where from.He lifted his body from the bed slowly, continuing to look around. There wasn’t anyone around. As he leaned on his hands while standing up, he noticed how fluffy and nice the bed sheets were.“Hmm… nice.” he whispered.Where am I?Andrey looked down at the floor where a pair of slippers awaited for him. He put them on and noticed he was dressed in some sort of black pajamas. After looking around some more, the door was the most attractive thing for him, so he went towards it.Wait. What is this!?He loMakiya 173. The Reward
“Andrey, you said her name was…?” Yuki asked, while looking at the corner of the room.“Dea’n’ha. That’s what she’s called.”Yuki stood up and bowed her head down. This action was something normal for Japanese to do to show respect towards a person.“A pleasure to meet you, Dea’n’ha!” she fastly spoke.Although only Yuki could hear her, Dea’n’ha replied, “Hello, Yuki.”Yuki turned towards Andrey and with a worried expression asked, “Um… she doesn’t seem to be too friendly. Is that normal?”Andrey smiled and looked at her, then looked at the corner of the
In the silence, while Dea’n’ha’s vessel - Yuki, and Andrey were feeling each other’s heartbeats, from outside the house a beautiful and familiar charming voice was heard singing perfectly pitched notes.The door opened and Azazel, along with Illien, entered the room.In that very moment, the Demon raised his guard up and focused on Andrey.Illien stopped singing. They both stopped and stared after walking into the house. The questions immediately had shaped - “Who is the girl?”, “Is Andrey sane?”, “Are we safe?”, “Is Aluca aware of the situation?”Andrey then noticed the house owners walking in, “Hey, guys!”he immediately, cheerfully greeted
“What!? We’re going to take over a country!?” Aluca fell down the stairs on his butt as he heard this.Illien ran to him in worry, “Hey, man, are you okay!? Did you hurt yourself?”Aluca looked at the bard with a mean look, “Are you deaf?! Wait. You’re a bard, you can’t be deaf. THEN WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU TO NOT GET STARTLED AT THESE WORDS!?”“What words?” Illien asked, scratching his head.“We’re going to war!” Aluca yelled again.“Oh, okay.” Illien nodded confirmingly.“What’s okay about it!? You’re all nuts!”
“I feel kind of angry, but at the same time there’s a warmth I can feel in my heart.” Aluca spoke to himself, while holding a rock in his hands, channeling magic into it.“I am annoyed that I am forced to do this, but when I think about it, it’s a good deed. Am I that not used to doing good deeds?”The rock molded into the shape of a small drone.“Good, that’s the last one.”Aluca sat on the ground and looked at the sky, thinking“Ahh… It’s kind of fun when all of us are around again. Azazel and Illien are fun to have around, but Andrey and Dea’n’ha just fill in the void.”Aluca stood up, mo
All of them, beat up, Azazel included, gathered around the table after waking up midday.They stared at each other awkwardly, and nobody said a thing. Noticing how each and every one of them looked like if they weren’t flying drones, but drinking senseless at some tavern last night.Andrey broke the silence, “I think we would best do something about our condition faster, because it sucks to see you all looking like this.”Nobody moved or breathed at that moment. They all had the same thing on their minds, though.Just a minute later, all of them launched their drones and explored the air.“Hey, let’s make a race. Try and catch me, guys!” Illien yelled. “Personal?” Niko asked in a deep voice.“Indeed. It’s about an invasion.” Azazel replied.“I may sound rude, but please, do tell me what exactly do you refer to as personal? What do you really know about my personal life? I don’t recall telling you much.”Azazel lifted his right hand before his face and moved his fingers around slowly, then put his palm on his face and leaned on the table, looking at Niko.“I wouldn’t be giving you this offer if I hadn’t studied you through.”“I’m curious what you found out then?”“The moment I found out you come from Fronthornis, I was really interesteMakiya 179.
