After a whole afternoon, I had roughly completed 75% of my summer homework. If I relaxed and just did the rest tomorrow, there wouldn't be any problem. Since Fez had helped me with things I didn't know about, I decided to treat her to some ice cream.
"Have a nice date!" (Kurisu)
"It... It's not like that!"
"Haha, someone's blushing~" (Fez)
With a cat-like smug expression, she teased while we went through the main door. Walking over the smooth stone path to the gate, Fez observed the surrounding trees and bushes outside the house. Kurisu's job was just to clean the bedrooms now, she had basically been reduced to a battle maid. Though she probably won't fight much.
The outside plants growing around was taken care of by field magic. Somewhere in the mansion was an enormous and complicated magic circle that ensure the plants were taken care of and trimmed properly. I haven't had much time to observe them until a few months ago, now it was basically routine to do it. Breathing in fresh air, Fez's foot steps had slightly fastened its pace.
Exitting the gate, we went to the ice cream shop in the distance. Since there was no actual rush, I didn't use [control space] and walked the whole way. The scenery in the city was relaxing too, our leisurely walk brought quite a few glances. Was it because Fez was such a beauty? Those lolicons... Reaching our destination, 2 small bells rang over our heads as we entered the building.
"Welcome to berry's, would you be eating here or will it be a takeaway? " (worker)
"It'll be a takeaway, thank you."
"Right, then go to that queue over there." (worker)
Going to where the worker pointed her finger at, we had a small chat until we finally reached the cashier. Giving our orders, we went on our way out of the parlour. Enjoying our ice creams, we walked through the busy streets.
A silent pressure exerts itself onto my [omni detection]. No... There was 2 of them, and by the look of Fez's expression she had also sensed them incoming. I guess we were the targets. Were they the last 2 demon generals? Well the more the merrier. Sticking my arm out dramatically, I chanted my skill name as if I still had bad control over my mana, well I thought it was cool and just wanted to give it a try.
"[Control space]"
In an instant our surroundings had changed. Due to the sudden shift in space, light stopped travelling into our eyes for a moment, giving a blinding effect. When we arrived the surrounding light rushed in and acted akin to a flashbang. Of course all of this was disregarding our detection skills, we have no need for sight to function in a fight. Such was a simple matter for Fez's class skill [Witch's orb] and my [Omni detection].
"Fool! We ar-" (?)
" [Divine bloody chains] "
From [omni detection] picking up the patterns of their mana, it seemed that they gain spatial manipulation when paired together. That was too bad considering [Divine bloody chains] disregards space and time. Originally [reality displacement] was only for stealth and concealment, it was able to invert the time and space axis and completely hide my existence from the world. But through experimentation, inverting the space and time axis could basically delete things like the skill [death].
But do not mistake it's ability, it was only similar and not completely the same. it's first limitation was it's range. Since it was originally a skill for hiding, it's range was whatever I was touching. This included anything within my [Abyss control] skill, anything that touched the ground and my shadow weaponry could be erased. But it's true limitation was it's effect, it was not meant to delete things, only hide them from existence.
This made it's effect temporary and easy to reverse. If [death] was used, they would just stop existing and not be able to fight back at all, while [reality displacement] only shifted them to a different plane of existence.
This was why [Divine bloody chains] was a completely different skill, it was an infinite source of [reality displacement] formed from the infinite copies of my soul manifested in the chains. It was able to permanently entrap enemies in the other plane for eternity.
The chains first manifest as solidified light, it was solidified by the extreme amount of energy surrounding it, giving it a golden lustre. When it turns blood red, that was when copies of my soul was being reproduced, and along with it the infinite [reality displacement]. This was why it stayed blood red until I erase the chain from existence.
In the past few months, I had mastered it to the point where I can use it as much as I want. Multiple times in an instant, with no repercussions. I was now able to instantly command the chains, to hide its existence by inverting its own time-space axis, and remanifest in the brain of my enemies, scrambling what was left of their spirit. If that didn't work, the [Divine bloody chains] would slowly remove the enemy's soul, piece by piece, slowly tearing them down.
Anyway, those 2 had died extremely quickly. This leaves me and Fez with roughly and hour left of free time. The thought made me blushed, how immature! I wonder how my colleagues from the company would react if they knew I've become like this. How indece-
"Hey, why are you blushing? Is it because now we're finally alone~? Hehe~" (Fez)
"Haha... As aggressive as ever huh? Yes, I was blushing because I was embarrassed thinking about it, what are you going to do about it?"
"Heh?! Isn't this where you hide your face? Since when were you able to fight back!" (Fez)
"It's okay~ all the flies are now gone, now we can do whatever we want~"
"Hmm... Then let's... Meet tomorrow." (Fez) Fidgeting from left to right, it seemed that this was an indirect way to tell me 1 hour wasn't enough for her. She wanted the whole of tomorrow too.
"Haha... So you can make this kind of gesture as well. How cute."
"Cu-! You're acting weird today! Go buy me a drink, let's just play with cards while lazing around for the remaining hour." (Fez)
Leaving the conversation at that, I gave a little wink as I lead the way to the drink stall. Soon after that, she became a little peckish so I had to buy some snacks. She devoured the meat skewer in an instant. Indulging her for the rest of the day, it came to a peaceful stop as the sun went down.
Cracks formed in the sky as I gave a little smirk and licked my lips. "Caught you~"
