Hearing those words Amelia couldn't help the smile from blossoming like a flower on her face. She looked at him, her gaze filled with affection as she nodded her head and spoke every word ever so slowly.
" The same goes for me too, I Love You "
As seemed to suddenly remember something, she changed the subject and asked.
" Alright, what happened to your eyes? " she spoke as she looked at him with confusion written all over her face.
" What do you mean? " He asked slightly confused as well.
" Your eyes, didn't you notice? Their color is azure. I have to add it's really beautiful and it also adds to your charisma. "
Seemingly in thought, Chris lowered his head and said after a while, as he nodded his head as if he realized something.
" Mhm, it probably has something to do with the metamorphosis I went through in order to become a rank nine mystic. That man I mentioned to you before said that mystics are at a higher level of existence, meaning that they are no longer humans. My blood previously also had some azure mixed in it. Your eyes have also changed to an emerald color, and if my guess isn't wrong your blood ought to also have some emerald mixed in it. "
" So what do you think? " he asked.
" I don't think of anything. I don't really care about the metamorphosis and the changes that it brought us, as long as I get to be by your side. "
As she said those words, Chris could feel the warmth spreading all over his body.
" So now that we have taken this path there's no way for us to turn back, we can only keep moving forward. First things first, let us rest for the rest of the night and when the morning comes we should move out and find a new house for ourselves to live in, as we are no longer safe here. Second, we need to find more information about this hidden world. Last but not least we also need to keep advancing our ranks, in order to get stronger and take revenge against our enemies. "
Having heard the words revenge Amelia's body shook for a second before returning to normal. Chris with his now supervision, of course, noticed this and he immediately hugged her as he spoke to comfort her.
" Don't worry, I know you're scared, but believe me if I say that with me here nothing will happen to you. "
" Thank you " She replied in a low voice as her head was buried in his chest listening to his calm and steady heartbeat as she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep in his arms.
Seeing her fall asleep Chris closed his eyes and thought to himself.
' How lucky must I be, for me to have such a beauty to love and to love me. Finally, I can say that I am not alone. This life I will live without regrets and make sure to always protect Amelia, I will definitely eliminate all those that threaten us. '
And with those thoughts, Chris gradually fell asleep.
. . . . .
The sunlight hit through the window and illuminated the entire room.
Feeling the light in his face Chris's eyelids twitched as he slowly opened his eyes.
He turned his head and saw Amelia looking at him in silence.
" You should have woken me up, the moment you also woke up. "
" I just woke up a minute earlier than you, and couldn't bring myself to bother you as you looked so peaceful. "
Chris smiled and said no more. He slowly got off the bed and stretched his body before looking towards Amelia and said.
" We should take a bath and at the same time check out our bodies and abilities before heading out to look for a new residence today. You know how to use your abilities right? "
" Yes, I know, it's like I've been born with these powers. " she nodded as she said.
" Alright I will head first to the bathroom to take a shower you can go after me. " With that, she also got up from the bed as she slowly headed towards the bathroom.
Chris walked up towards the man-sized mirror that was at the corner of the room and looked at himself. Around 1.80 meters in height, black dark hair, handsome facial features, and above all his deep azure eyes which added to his overall charisma.
Furthermore, his body and mind had undergone a change during the metamorphosis just, not as notable as his eyes. His body now seemed better, with his muscles more tuned and developed than before. His mind was much clearer, as his thoughts seemed to run faster and his memory improved as well, compared to before he could now think clearer and at the same time remember more details of his past events.
Chris also tried using his abilities. He first used supervision, which allowed him to see everything clearly within an area of ten meters. He could maintain this state for thirty seconds before having to rest due to a headache. After a minute he had recovered slightly and tried to use supervision once again, this time it felt more comfortable but he could only hold it for twenty seconds before being forced to stop. He had a feeling that if he recovered completely and kept practicing he could use the abilities more proficiently and their duration would also be increased.
Next, he checked the ability that allowed him to see through almost everything. He called that ability, Observe. He used, Observe as he looked at the wall in front of him. It was like the wall had turned transparent and he could see right through it. Observe could also let him see the auras around people but unfortunately, he couldn't use it right now and he also didn't want to use it on Amelia.
The last ability he received from the metamorphosis was night vision, and it seemed to be some kind of passive ability that would strengthen itself over time.
When he finished checking his body and abilities, Amelia still hadn't left the bathroom.
' She had gone through a lot of pain during this past three months and she was also unable to move her body, so she must be taking her time to enjoy this moment. ' Having this thought, he was still a little concerned and so he called out her name.
" Hey, Amelia how are you? "
" I'm fine, it's just that I haven't taken a shower in months and now I want to enjoy myself. "
" Alright take your time then. "
Having said that Chris suddenly thought something as he used his ability, Observe to see through the walls, into the bathroom where Amelia was supposed to be.
' Well, since I confessed to her and she happily replied to my feelings there shouldn't be a problem with what I'm about to do right? As I'm her man now she wouldn't mind, yes I'm sure of it. '
Having these thoughts to reassure himself that what he was doing was correct, Chris continued and used, Observe. The walls turned transparent, and in his vision entered a beautiful woman with black hair, emerald eyes, and a hot hourglass figure. Her skin was exposed but unfortunately, she had her back on him and the hot steam that raised from the water covered most of her. Not Having mastered this ability yet, Chris was unable, to see through the steam, flustered he forgot about the side effects of overuse and focused his attention on her waiting for an opportunity.
Thirty seconds later, he felt slightly dizzy and pain started assaulting him in his head.
" Aaarghh " at that moment he let out a scream and immediately canceled his ability.
At that moment Amelia walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her and water still dripping from her body. She looked at Chris who held his head as he bled from his nose and asked with a worried expression.
" Are you okay? What happened? "
Having heard Amelia's voice he sightly recovered as he smiled at her and replied.
" Don't worry I just used my abilities a little too much and the side effects kicked off. "
" Ok be careful next time don't make me wor- "
Amelia's words stuck at her mouth as she suddenly noticed that a tent had appeared between Chris's two legs. Her face flushed red and she angrily glared at him.
The situation became somewhat awkward as they both remained in silence not knowing what to say.
At this moment a sudden knock came from the door of their apartment, breaking the silent atmosphere.
Chris smiled embarrassingly as he got up and said to Amelia.
" Looks like someone is here. You should go change as I open the door. "
Not knowing what to say, Amelia could only leave it at that for the time being. She pouted in anger as she turned around to get changed.
Chris still embarrassed, took a few breaths before walking towards the door, wondering who could it be, as he hadn't any friends that he was close enough for them to visit him.
When he finally opened the door, he was a little stunned to see the two figures standing before him. In front of him was standing a woman and a man dressed in black.
He didn't recognize the woman, but he was extremely familiar with the man dressed in black, as he was the one that gave him the mystic rank nine recipe and ritual as well as the shared life ritual.
