Chapter 98: Nothing’s happened today...
It felt weird...
I finally understood the expression of ’limbs turn to jelly’ with how my body moved. It felt like I turned really flexible, like I could bend however I wanted, even spiraling to the sky. But I also felt slow and rather sluggish.
The strange feeling of losing organs was unsettling, and I felt heavy and light at the same time, however weird it sounded. My senses were subdued, or rather, I perceived my surrounding differently. Instead of using physical senses, I used mana perception--which made sense, since I had no organ right now.
Which was why, while sensing the noise from the riverside, I had no idea what Doun was shouting. Jade, for sure, was just chirping. Perhaps if I had a higher level of perception, I would be able to hear them clearer, but whether it was due to my low proficiency, or because this was my first time, I felt like hearing them while being underwater.
In that sense, I also could not speak to them, and had no skill like telepathy to do so--in the first place, soul and mind-related skills were demon’s specialty. But at least, I could communicate with Jade since the bird was familiar.
*...ster! Master!*
No...actually, I could hear the bird clearer in this state. Or rather, I could hear it talk?
Before, while I was able to understand Jade, it was more that we share our senses to be able to understand each other. But now, its thought and chirping was getting translated into a more coherent form.
Blinking my aquatic eyes, I stared at the frantic flapping of the little wings. No--it didn’t evolve yet. So...was it because I was closer to an elemental form?
...interesting.
--Jade?
