'This bowel movement seems a bad omen. Is this caused by Aaron' spell?'
Zaiden experienced a nauseous sensation which grew rapidly. The informative gem near his core presented the solution towards his neurons. Zaiden needed to flee from the area to protect himself.
{What!? Why am I feeling this pain?}
The demon' voice resonated in his head making Zaiden worry over the issue. Aaron's spell enabled him to summon every possible secretive power of Zaiden. He expected to extract the effects of pills from Zaiden' body. But the unexpected resided there to surprise Aaron.
Zaiden couldn't feel good anymore, a black smoke began to emerge from his body. He knelt on his knees holding the shirt near his heart. Anna became confused upon Zaiden's sudden defeat. The demon was being pulled out of his body, Aaron's spell was casted effectively with expertise.
{He is...trying to kill us both.}
Zaiden experienced a drain of energy in his body, his hands started to get cold. He was shivering slightly with the black smoke emerging from his back. Ellen plunged forward towards Zaiden, she wanted to touch him to inspect. But Zaiden' screaming made her halt, whereas Anna ran towards her father.
Aaron wasn't supposed to use a forbidden spell which proved to be lethal. The spell nearly manipulated Zaiden' blood flow, his pressure level dropped visibly leaving a cold sensation.
'What even is he doing? Is he separating us?'
Zaiden' conversation with the demon continued, he experienced the extension of the mental crack. The nauseous feeling within him became severe, he felt like his soul was being pierced into two. A sharp pain crept in his head, splitting the demon' thoughts and his into two separate entities.
{No, he is not separating us. He is extracting me from your soul, and draining your mana.}
'What the heck!? Is it even possible at his 24% score?'
Zaiden' question was worth inquiring, Aaron used his detention and recovery weeks in learning stuff. His father' sources and strong political ties invested in gaining a few powerful scrolls from the library of the forbidden magic.
'What should we do then?'
He couldn't afford losing the demon, despite his trust issues Zaiden required his help. Aaron laughed hysterical upon seeing Zaiden unwilling submitting to his spell. Zaiden' nails grew longer and turned black, the extension felt like beastly claws.
"Huh? Look what do we have here."
Aaron mocked him and shouted while his body floated in the air. The water slab supported his silhouette, and the spell reduced Aaron' weight equivalent to a feather. The accumulating water around his fists travelled towards Zaiden, surrounding his kneeling body.
"Zaiden, hey!"
Ellen shouted with concern and looked around only to witness wretched, insensitive audience. The vampires undoubtedly were great warriors with their resplendent history tainted with cold hearted monsters. With the past generations among them the course of emotions had changed, since the realm was being protected by 80% attunement holders. They were exceptional warriors who could perform amazing feats and were highly secretive.
"Stop Aaron!"
Ellen commanded her for the first time, she didn't want be abused anymore. And Zaiden' attempt to save her unmasked Aaron' true nature. She had experienced his insults but never expected him to slap her.
"Oh! Shut up, you leech! What even is he paying you? How can you sell yourself short, Ellen?"
The water droplets formed small round slabs in the air, and Aaron descended while nearing her. The publicly done verbal insult from him was unexpected, but Ellen had enough of him. She still remember the forbidden wind-ox spell but to avoid the detention she could only grit her teeth.
The recent classes were crucial for their attunement increase. Ellen didn't want to skip them for whatever reason, she didn't want to rely over others to avoid the bullying due to her class origin.
"What? Oh, hoho! Don't tell me you are interested in this trash."
He pointed out towards Zaiden who was surrounded by the water wall. The element had encircled him and the black smoke from Zaiden' body was visible now. It seemed like the mana depletion had some color to detect. His breathing became shallow as Zaiden felt himself on the verge of dying.
[Warning: Mental sphere crack 20%]
[Warning: Physical state declining rapidly]
[Warning: Power level dropping]
[Crucial situation: Feed on any blood group]
The bombardment of notifications were an addition to his worry. Zaiden could already feel the mana depletion with his constant dropping of blood pressure.
'No, I have to seal my powers. I can't afford to lose this demon, he is no less than a treasure. Energy is related to the blood and emotional manipulation. What if I seal the demon in my subconscious mental sphere? That should work along with the emotional restraints.'
Zaiden closed his eyes and saw the demon in his mind, he seemed pale and famished. Whereas Aaron began to shrink the encircled water ring , the stillness of the water in the ring became faster. It seemed a tsunami but in a circular motion, the shrinking continued so as Ellen' shrieking.
She suspected Zaiden fainted since the girl couldn't see past the water wall. The black smoke which emerged from Zaiden' back began to tackle the water. It collided with the water ring leaving a circular mark on the ground with some strange alphabets written in it.
