Chapter 144 - Chapter 144 Soul Control

As Thomas awoke Lily and Poppy turned and stared at Thomas. Lily stood up and walked towards Thomas as she angrily asked "Why didn't you tell us that Poppy's form consumes mana?" Thomas stared at her for a few moments and said "It wasn't important." Lily pointed at him and shouted "What do you mean it wasn't important, you were asleep for three days!" Lily sighed and said "Honestly if Poppy hadn't told us we'd have thought you were gonna die." Poppy climbed up onto the bed and said "On the bright side while you were sleeping your mana intake increased by more then double." Poppy stared at him and said "Also you didn't have to lie and say you were producing more mana the you were using." Thomas stared at her and said "Then I'll take it you figured out that your form was slowly consuming what mana I had left." Poppy nodded and said "Yes but now you are slowly generating more mana then your consuming." Lily stared at Thomas and said "You should tell us these kinds of things." Moments later Peri and Ceil opened the door to the room. As they opened the door they stared at Thomas and said "He's finally awake!" Peri and Ceil rushed over to Thomas and said "You had us all worried." Ceil stared at Thomas and said "Ocis is gonna be super happy to find out." As Daisy and Scarlett entered the room they said "It's about time you woke up." Thomas yawned and said "I might've just woken up from a three day nap but I still feel tired." Poppy stared at him and said "That's probably you recovering from the over use of mana." Thomas sighed and said "Then I won't be able to use magic for a while." Thomas glanced at Poppy and asked "How are you still in the doll if I can't use mana?" Poppy smiled and said "I had some of the mana you left me stored away." As Ocis entered the room she jumped onto Thomas and said "Your finally awake!" Thomas stared at her and said "Sorry for sleeping so long." Ocis hugged him and said "Don't worry about it, your okay now right?" Thomas sat up as Ocis continued to hold onto him and said "Yeah I'm fine now, just overused my mana a little." Poppy stared at him and said "It's strange." Thomas stared at her an asked "What's strange?" Poppy pointed to him and said "You've gotten stronger while you were sleeping." Thomas pointed around her and said "That's because I've been using mana twenty four hours a day on you." Poppy froze for a moment and said "Well I guess that makes sense." Ocis let go of Thomas and said "Can I challenge you to another fight?" Thomas stared at her and asked "What for?" Ocis smiled and said "I'd like another date." Thomas sighed and said "I still don't understand dates." Ocis stood up and said "The last one was fun so don't worry about it." Lily stared at Thomas and said "I'd like to challenge you too!" Thomas stared at her and said "Please tell me your reason for winning is something different." Lily stared at him and nervously said "I'm gonna ask you to stay with us even if your seal is undone!" Thomas stared at her blankly and said "You can actually undo these?" Ceil nodded and said "Removing a slave seal is actually quite common." Thomas stood up and said "Alright I'll fight both of you, but I'm not accepting any more challenges for a while after this." As they arrived in an open field Ocis and Lily stood a few yards away from Thomas. The others sat quite far away in the grass waiting for the match to begin. Thomas stood there and said "Begin whenever you'd like." Ocis immediately took to the sky with her spear as Lily crossed her arms and shouted "Bind!" As the chains wrapped around Thomas he sighed and said "Honestly I don't see the point in using these, I can't use magic right now anyway." Lily smiled and said "Yeah but now you can't use you arms." As Ocis dived down at Thomas with her spear Lily casted advance drive doubling her speed. Thomas stood there with a smirk and said "Well this is gonna be fun." Thomas stepped to the side and as Ocis passed him he bit onto the spear and spun her around throwing her into a tree. Thomas cracked his neck and said "Man that's quite the wake up call." Thomas began to walk towards Lily as he said "You know there's probably various things you could've done to prevent that." Lily smiled and said "What makes you so sure we weren't planning that." Thomas stepped to the side as Ocis flew past him once more with her spear Thomas lifted his leg and kicked her into the ground. Thomas turned back to her and asked "What made you so sure I was talking about her hitting the tree?" Lily took a step back and said "It's not over yet!" Thomas leaned down to Ocis and asked "Are you alright?" Ocis flung her spear past his throat and said "During a fight you should save your concern." Thomas pushed the spear away and said "We're not enemies so just answer the question." Ocis lowered her spear and said "I'm fine but you shouldn't worry about me when your against me." Thomas stood up and said "I'm not pitying you, I just didn't hold anything back on that attack so I just wanted to be sure you were okay." Ocis stood up and smiled as she held the spear up to Thomas and said "From this point on I don't want you to worry about me, just know that your normal attacks won't be enough to kill me, so don't pull any punches." Thomas sighed and said "Well alright if you say so." Thomas immediately pushed the spear kicked the spear out of his way and then kicked her in the side. As she was knocked to the ground Thomas stared at her and asked "Is she really ok?" Ocis stood back up and said "See, easy." Thomas let out a sigh of relief and said "Maybe I should take it down a notch." Thomas began to walk towards Ocis as Lily shouted "Soul control!" Thomas stood there staring at her confused as he asked "What did you say?" Lily smiled and said "Both me and Scarlett know this spell, it's called soul control." Lily who was holding out her hand pushed down. As she lowered her hand Thomas fell to the ground. Lily smiled and said "With this spell and my bind spell I'll be able to easily beat you." Lily began to walk towards him as she said "Depending on how much mana I use the strength of this spell varies." Lily pushes her hand forward and sent Thomas tumbling across the ground. She continued to walk towards him as he said "So I'm basically powerless?" Ocis ran over to him and said "Give up we don't want to hurt you anymore then we have to." Thomas smiled and said "I didn't pity you so can stop pitying me." Ocis closed her eyes for a few moments and said "Fine." As she opened her eyes she hit him with the back of the spear and said "We'll beat you into submission then." Lily raised her hand and sent Thomas flying through the air. As he was in the air Thomas sighed and said "This spell complicates things." As Thomas fell back down he landed on his feet and said "Alright enough fooling around." Lily pushed her hand all the way down and said "I agree I think you should give up already." Thomas stood there staring at her as she asked "Why isn't it working?" Thomas smiled and said "It's working, I'm just not giving in to the increased weight." Ocis tore her spear out of the ground and flew at Thomas with it as she said "I won't be using the dull part anymore." Thomas stepped to the side and raised his leg as he said "The increase in gravity affects you too." Thomas lowered his foot on Ocis knocking her into and cracking the ground as Lily said "I should've sent you flying." Thomas began to walk towards her as he said "But you didn't." Lily sighed and said "Fine you win this one." Thomas smiled and said "It was a good match." As Ocis stood back up she held the spear across Thomas throat and pulled back on it choking him. Ocis began to fly as she said "If I knock you unconscious I win. Thomas glanced at her and mumbled "You caught me off guard." Ocis smiled and said "When I win I'd like to ask for something different." Thomas began to lose consciousness as he said "I haven't lost yet." Thomas began to swing his legs back and forth until he was able to grasp Ocis's head with his feet and throw her towards the ground. As she fell Thomas landed on the ground and sat down beneath her. As she landed in his lap he said "So wannabes it yet?" Ocis sighed and said "But I really wanted that date." Thomas shrugged and said "Well we should be going to the next town soon, I guess I can give it some thought." Ocis smiled and hugged him as she asked "Will you really go on another date with me?" Thomas looked up at the sky and said "Sure."
