Chapter 352: 352
The spiritual chain had been cast and the balck fireball came hurling towards Quinn .
The speed was fast as well like a cannonball .
Quinn braced himself, but he didn't move and allowed it to hit his body . As soon as it made an impact across his stomach, the ball split up, and chains made of fire started to wrap around him . Not just one but several, around his body, around his arms and they all then attached themselves to the floor . Everything happened in almost an instant as soon as the ball hit .
While a part of the chains were wrapped around Quinn, the other ends wherein a circle shape attached to the floor .
Quinn tried to use half of his strength at first to move, he thought it would be enough and didn't want to upset Layla if it was weak . But it seemed impossible for him to move, he then tried using his full strength, and this time he could move slightly, but the chains still seemed to hold . A few seconds later, and they had disappeared entirely, and he could now move again .
"Well!" Layla said with an excited look on her face . She was happy with her success and how with relative ease, she was able to perform the skill on her first try .
"It's strong," Quinn replied . "Really strong . I used my full strength, and I still couldn't break free . "
The boys were surprised as well at what Quinn had said, he didn't have his gauntlets on, but his regular strength was still plenty strong .
"It's a shame about the duration . It seemed to only last a second and a half . " Vorden said . "But still, in a fight between life and death, that's all it can take sometimes . "
"Yes," Logan replied . "But remember the text also said that it would depend on one's mental state at the time as well as the user's mental state . "
Logan started to think about the tears he had seen before she had performed the skill . Perhaps this had something to do with its power but decide to remain silent for now .
Layla had a huge grin on her face, and suddenly she was pleased, her first skill was this powerful, and she didn't even have an ability yet . She could definitely be helpful to the others now, and there was room to grow even stronger .
"Come on . " She said in a cheery voice . "Let's try the next one . "
She quickly wiped away the tears from her face and tried to visualize the same thing again . She closed her eyes but oddly enough, something was wrong . The energy from before that she could feel was no longer there .
'is that all the magical ability I have, only enough for one skill?'
After standing around for a while, the others realized something must have been up as well .
"I don't understand . " She said . "I did the same thing as last time . "
Looking at Layla, Vorden seemed to have figured out the one difference compared to before to know .
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but Layla, are you happy right now?" Vorden asked .
At first, Layla didn't understand, so what if she was happy, shouldn't she be, but then she soon released from reading the text . Her powers were affected by how she was feeling at the time, and positive emotions weren't a part of the description .
"What is this crap, so are they saying I can only use my powers if I'm upset!" She shouted .
"That's it, Layla . " Vorden cheered . "Come on, keep getting angry, Quinn say something to her . "
"I don't think this is a good idea," Quinn replied, stepping back . "Maybe her horns will start to grow bigger or something . "
"Quinn . . . " She mumbled with both her hands in fists by her side, and her head down . " . . . that really hurt . " She whispered, and instead of trying to use her ability again, she quickly stormed out of the room .
The three boys just continued to look at each other stunned . Until Logan finally broke the silence . "Well, I thought what Quinn said was a good one if I do say so myself . Nothing we can do now; we will just have to let her calm down . It's not like she's going to eat someone or suck their blood . " Logan said as he pulled the drawer open and grabbed a few things from it . "Sandwich, anyone?"
In anger and sadness, and a mind filled with emotions, Layla continued to walk down the stairs and headed straight back for her room . She knew what the others were trying to do, but it hurt her a little bit too much .
'Why am I getting so upset, I know they were just trying to help . They didn't mean all that stuff, right?
It seemed like what the text about Hannya said was right . She would be more emotional than before . Sensitive .
If she wanted to learn how to use her powers properly, she would have to learn how to harness and control these emotions, but she couldn't do it instantly .
She quickly adjusted her hair to make sure it covered up her small little bumps and continued on .
As she stood outside the door, a sweet smell seemed to be coming from inside .
��Is Cia cooking something?' Layla thought .
She opened the door, and it looked like her guess was completely wrong . Cia wasn't cooking anything and instead was still wrapped in her quilt sulking .
'Has she been crying for the whole day?'
However, Layla soon realized what the sweet smell was, for in her vision around the room, she could see it .
A heavy black mist seemed to be covering the room, and it was the same type of energy that she felt inside her . She tried reaching for it, grabbing it, and it looked as if the mist moved and went inside of her own body . Suddenly, she felt a surge in power inside her cells . She could feel something overcome her .
Although it felt powerful, at the same time, she felt sad, as if these negative feelings from the room where now inside of her .
"Layla, you're finally back . "
"Yes," Layla replied as she couldn't hide her smile . "I'm back, but I'm a bit hungry . "
**
In an unknown place, underground, where it was pitch black and not a single speck of light could be seen, the sounds of growls could be heard, monstrous roars and clashing, banging of all sorts as they rattled their cells . Thankfully, these creatures had been locked away, pinned behind special black bars, trapped with no way out .
To get to such a dark place, one would have to walk hundreds of meters down a spiral staircase and then finally down the many hallways .
Walking down one hallway, Silver could hear it all . It was a place she hated to visit, and she never wanted to come back here again, but she needed to .
She continued to walk until eventually, she stopped just outside one of the rooms . Behind bars, a dark figure could be seen .
"Tell me, why did you do it . . . why did you do it… . brother . "
