Chapter 120
Thinking a bit more about a way to touch the void obsidian, Michelle stared at Nyxaroth for a long while before deciding to ask: "Nyx, is it a bad idea to touch the wall while you keep your spirit energy around me, so you could pull me back if something went wrong?"
When her words fell, Nyxaroth thought about it a bit. The method Michelle thought of had some hope, but no one could be sure that he would be able to pull her back if something really went wrong. Also, even if he was able to do that, what if the wall was still able to suck away her soul energy? Or what if just a moment of touching the wall was able to harm her severely?
Nyxaroth’s silence was enough of an answer for Michelle. "Is it too risky?" she asked as she kept her gaze on the black wall in front of her. The urge to touch it was only growing within her. She felt like if she didn’t touch it, she would miss out on something life changing, and that was making her restless.
But she knew not to put herself in pointless danger, so she didn’t push her luck, and didn’t touch anything, just waiting for Nyxaroth’s decision.
"It’s indeed risky..." he spoke after a while, but there was a hint of uncertainty in his voice. He, too, had the feeling that the wall would react differently to Michelle since her soul energy was a complete void. But there was just no guarantee.
"How risky?" Michelle asked with a tilt of her head, her gaze still on the wall. She felt like small claws were scratching at her heart, begging her to touch the wall. She didn’t even know if it was her own curiosity, or if the wall was starting to affect her somehow.
"There’s triple the chance that something could happen to you than you getting out of it safely," Nyxaroth said as he noticed Michelle’s restlessness. She wasn’t the kind of person who would turn restless just because she wanted to touch something. So he was guessing that the wall was able to affect her even from a distance. But was the wall able to affect all Soul Masters, or just Michelle because she possessed black soul energy?
"I need to check something. Until then, don’t touch the wall!" Nyxaroth suddenly said before he turned into a speck of black mist and entered Michelle’s body, checking her condition.
In her body, everything was perfectly fine, except that her soul energy was restless, swirling around, trying to get out. It was like it felt the presence of something it needed. That was definitely because it felt the void obsidian. But was it like that because it really needed the void obsidian, or was the void obsidian able to manipulate any soul energy, so its wielder would touch it and get drained by it?
