Chapter 77: Gifted Ability
"Wh-What are you doing...EEEKKK!!"
Before Kylian could finish his sentence, a panicked shriek escaped from his quivering lips. Being embraced by Zenith’s arm wrapped around his waist, suddenly he sensed that his legs felt lighter, as if his body was ascending in the air!
His ocean eyes gawked open from shock and before words could befall, his jaw almost dropped when Kylian witnessed it was not him, but Zenith, who had started to ascend upwards in the air, holding Kylian tightly in his arms.
In contrast to Kylian’s distraught reaction, Zenith seemed very amused with a lingering smirk on his soft cherry lips, as if he was enjoying every bit of moment to see Kylian panic-stricken.
"W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" After a brief shocked silence, Kylian unknowingly wrapped both his arms around Zenith’s shoulder and hugged him tighter with his trembling arms.
The pale look of distraught on his face was evident to tell the sight of ascending upwards had spooked him badly.
But though he hugged him tight out of fear, Zenith seemed pretty satisfied with his reaction and calmly patted Kylian on his back while trying to comfort him, "Don’t worry, just hold me tighter. You’ll find out soon."
"But w-why the heck we are floating in ai—" Kylian’s grunt trailed off when he suddenly noticed Zenith had a translucent reddish flame glowing on his other arm which he had pointed towards the murky sky. His eyes were closed but his expression looked very relaxed compared to Kylian, holding that cryptic smile.
Within a few seconds, their ascending speed increased more than before, making Kylian realize Zenith had already pulled him far above the ground.
