Throughout Reeva's life, there is one emotion that he holds in high regard, happiness. There is nothing superior to such emotion. That's why his life was stagnant, a happy life is a peaceful one. And a peaceful life is a weakness.
But what if he was able to turn that into power?
Reeva smile
Such emotion stirs in his heart, Joyful. A smile appears on his face. If he is about to lose wouldn't it be fun to use all of his assets? To squeeze every last one out to use?
His happiness
Reeva close his eyes and let the cold feeling expand from his brain. It touches the yellow mist inside his body. The intoxicating feeling returned, it was happiness. But it was not a happiness that formed from a source. It was pure happiness, a raw mystic force that he collected.
It has been gathering in a corner of his body waiting to be used. He used the cold feeling to grab a hold of the yellow mist. Then he releases it. The yellow mist seeped throughout his body and it began to change. Without a circle, he knew it wouldn't end well. but he didn't care, after all, he was happy with it.
His eyes turn yellow, starting from the iris and spreading throughout turning his whole eyes yellow. The only thing he could see was happiness. He is the yellow mellow place where only joy exists.
The walls, the light sword, the people it all nothing but a bundle of happiness. Every air itself could be happiness, it feels so good. His mouth curved into a bright smile. Giving off the eerie and happy at the same time.
He could see happiness all around. In everything he could see and feel but, soon he came to realise something, those a happiness he could absorb, the walls and the light sword. It is all solid. He couldn't use it... he needed to find something to increase his happiness.
He knew there would be more
His eyes fell on Plutus which is a seeping yellow mist while he was healing the knight. Reeva's eyes curl up into a nice upward curl.
Found it
Happiness that he could get. Happiness that would make him more happy. He needs it. His hand extends outward pointing at the mist seeping through Plutus. The yellow mist flows toward him, slowly. Until it reaches him and finally seeps into his very being.
"ha... hahah HAHAHAHAHA "
His voice started lowly, and then it became louder and louder. He simply couldn't contain it, he needed to let some of this off. He needs to let the world know that he Is indeed happy.
Plutus is taken aback, he only turns away to heal the knight for a second. Only to turn back into a mystic monster. The fake priest has already done something hideous. He has turned himself into a vessel of mystic power.
Moreover, Plutus could feel an ominous aura from that smile. And he starts to smile...?
"Shit!... O light protects me from...."
He couldn't finish his sentence, why did he want to kill the monster when he was this happy? His eyes twitch, deep down he knew that this was the effect of the monster's belief but he couldn't do it. That devilish smile is making him happy somehow.
In Reeva's vision, he was able to receive more happiness from the Priest, He discovered that he could generate more happiness by using his own. He could make others smile and in turn, make himself happier. It's a win-win situation. but he needed more.
Since he himself has become the vessel, he could now interact directly with the light sword. When the world itself became all happiness, The light sword could be categorized as not happiness. That's why he needs to crush it. His hand grabs a hold of to light sword and breaks its belief.
Plutus mind is a mess right now. On one hand, he needs to stop such a thing and on the other, he is too happy to do anything. His mind has no regret, no goal, no morals, just simply happiness. It's very exhausting for him to constantly be happy.
Mover, the moster is getting more powerful from his happiness too. This is one of the most vile mystic beliefs that he has encountered. It doesn't incite harm, or make you a vicious person but it puts people into a state of eternal bliss.
Then it collects that bliss and grows in power. If this thing gets out to the city even God's punishment spell wouldn't be able to stop it. Not because it was too powerful but because everyone and everything would be too happy to do anything.
Even a priest like him who's been trained to reject abnormal feelings couldn't hold against the emotion. It's simply bypassing his metal barrier because it was a good feeling.
"Priest, does it feel good?"
The moster said with a big smile on his face. He walked over to Plutus and squatted down to meet the priest's eye. A deep sense of unease attacks the priest.
"Y...yes" Plutus managed to squeeze an answer out
"Do you know where to get more happiness priest?"
Plutus's mind works overtime to resist the influence. Rapidly decreasing his mental just to ward off the happiness and think of a solution. Right then flash of inspiration came to his mind, a way out of this predicament.
"Yes!" The priest answers with conviction
"Oh, where could I get that?"
"Behind.. that... Door"
He managed to squeeze an answer out and point at the sunfire champer door. Reeva follows Plutus's finger and suddenly has a realization. He came here originally to find out what was in that door.
"OHHHHH, thank you for reminding me I almost forgot why I came here." Reeva said jokingly "Here's a reward"
A wave of mist flows into Plutus's body.
"hahah....hahah..."
Plutus felt happiness again but this time in a larger dose. He might get addicted to this kind of feeling.
Reeva looks at Plutus's expression with a satisfied face. Another person that feels happy because of him, what not to like about it? He turns his attention back to the door and places his hand to open it.
Here we go! more happiness for me :)
