Chapter 123
With soul energy constantly flowing into her body, Michelle frowned a bit, not liking the feeling. It was just like when she absorbed the void from Alexander Terce and David Elether. She felt stuffed, like her soul couldn’t fit into her body.
Turning her head to look at the black cat, she saw a small black gem on top of its head, nearly unnoticeable between its fur. Also, when the cat stood on a fallen stone from the void obsidian wall, dark gray mist left the stone and flew towards it.
But a few centimeters away from its fur, the mist started thickening until it turned completely black and seeped into the cat’s body. That was the soul energy that was trapped within the part of the void obsidian the cat was standing on. So the cat was going through the same thing as Michelle, absorbing new soul energy into its body.
The cat stared back at Michelle for a while before it suddenly jumped off the stone and started pushing the scattered stones to the wall Michelle was touching, creating a snake of stones.
With each stone the cat pushed to the wall, Michelle could feel the intensity at which the soul energy flew into her body increase, the stream getting bigger, making her feel like hurling. It was really similar to the feeling when one eats so much that they are just a second away from vomiting, feeling the food even in their throat. Well, and she had such a feeling all over her body.
After a long while, maybe half an hour, or even an hour, the stream of soul energy slowed down before stopping. Finally, Michelle could pull her hands away from the wall and sit down on the ground, a tight frown on her brows. Her eyes were completely black, and the stifling feeling in her whole body wasn’t going away. She felt like the soul energy she had just absorbed would get out of control and destroy the whole underground tunnel she was in. And by every second, she felt like it was more possible.
As Michelle sat on the ground, the small black cat approached her, climbed onto her thigh and sat there, curling up into a small fur-ball.
Seeing the cat, Michelle instantly grabbed it and threw it into her spatial bracelet. At the same time, Nyxaroth left Michelle’s body and entered the contract space. A few seconds later, the new soul energy in Michelle’s body went out of control and exploded around her, creating a thick mist, which started corroding the walls around her.
Fearing a bit that the pathway could collapse on her, Michelle summoned her spirit energy and formed a thick ice layer on the walls, to protect them from the corrosion. Though the ice wasn’t immune to the corrosion, whenever it seemed like the black mist was about to break through somewhere, Michelle just added a few more layers. But it was quite draining, because she had to use her ice element on a large scale and for a long time. In the end, the mist retreated into her body only after a few hours. Her eyes still remained black.
