The Great Demon System
chapter-149

'DEAD!! What the fuck! What do you mean dead!? Can spirits even die!?' Moby exploded, going wide-eyed, almost breaking the calm expression that he had worn on his outside face from what he just heard.

'Yeah, you heard me, dead… Your inner spirit is for sure dead...' Avilia said with an awkward chuckle.

'Avilia, I need answers! How do you know all of this! How did this happen!? Why did this happen? What is going on!?' Moby continued, begging for an explanation as he was still in a state of pure madness and hysteria.

Not even in a million years did he expect to hear what he heard, he went from a mood of extreme happiness and excitement when he found out about inner spirits to that of pure madness as he felt a huge headache coming into his brain.

"Welllll… Let me start from the beginning…"

**********************************************************

At the time that Moby absorbed and gotten his ability from his crystal, Avilia was just relaxing in a random subspace in his head, inspecting his actions like she usually did. However, this time, she was also trying to inspect how Moby's new ability was going to affect and combine with his body, making her really excited as it was something completely foreign to her and would help her further understand the nature of these so called abilities,

Yet, all of that examining only led her to become even more perplexed than she had already been...

As Moby absorbed the crystal, making it disappear into thin air, Avilia sensed that a random intruder had entered Moby's body, making her extremely surprised as it was not at all what she expected to happen.

In the next second, a flash of brilliant white light emerged within the same subspace in Moby's head that Avilia was residing in. Out of the light emerged a white wolf with an icy blue aura surrounding it, floating down from the sky in a slow yet elegant manner with its eyes closed, stretching its body and all 4 of its stiff paws when it reached the ground. From its demeanour, its entrance and from the look on its face, it wore a mixture of a look of pride, elegance and arrogance all mixed together making it seem like it thought of itself as above everything else which slightly irritated Avilia.

The wolf was around twice as large as a normal white wolf found on earth, it had beautiful and silky-smooth looking white fur that looked magnificent as it glistened in the light that was created by its entrance. Its eyes had a piercing blue glow that had a calm, sombre yet magnificent aura to them. And, On its forehead, there was a symbol of a large blue snowflake that had an ominous glow to it.

At the time, Avilia was still not completely sure about the identity of this random beast as she was not expecting it, or anything else to intrude on the sanctity of her subspace. She knew about inner spirits and how a person gets one when they get an ability. But, despite knowing that it was a really high probability that the beast in front of her was indeed the inner spirit that Moby got from his ability crystal, she had no way of 100% confirming it without going out of her way to ask which was exactly what she chose to do.

When she sensed the wolf's power, she noticed that it posed absolutely no threat to her what so ever. So, despite the clear arrogant demeanour of the wolf, she decided to go with a casual approach and see how things went from there. She did not want to blow her chance. She just wanted answers, answers about if they were friend or foe, about what inner spirits were and about what abilities were in general.

So, Avilia slowly and casually flew to the beast in front of her who had its back turned, licking the fur on one of its front legs.

"Hey! Wolf! Who are you and what are you doing in my domain? Answer me now if you know what's good for you," Avilia said with a smile and a casual tone, standing behind the wolf who did not even notice her there.

If she was being honest, a part of her really wanted that beast to be an enemy so she could have fun once more as to relive her glory days. It has been a while since she had fun killing and squeezing the life out of something. She never actually thought that she would ever get the opportunity to do so again ever since she "died".

Then as soon as the beast heard her words, it got a little startled before immediately scoffing with arrogance and disgust,

"Huh? Who is this? How did you get in here? What kind of fool are you? Are you seeking death? This is not your domain, it is mine! I should be the one asking you those questions! Such arrogance! Do you know who you are even speaking to with such a casual poor mannered tone!? I am Heri…"

Those were the words the wolf said before it literally bit its tongue, stopping the words it was saying as it turned around and peered at Avilia's devilish smile and glowing, deep purple eyes, feeling her suffocating strength and aura.

However, In reality, Avilia had a friendly looking and welcoming smile. But, from its perspective, she was nothing more than the personification of death and absolute power incarnate in a single entity looking at him like he was a dead slab of meat.

The wolf immediately gasped and squealed for air with a shaky look of absolute terror and despair in its eyes, its teeth clacking together uncontrollably and its legs that had begun to grow tired started shaking faster than a vibrator, not even daring to utter a single word.

He cursed its own luck, stupidity and entire existence for talking down and talking rudely with such arrogance and pride to a supreme being like the monster standing in front of him, making its once majestic looking face and fur immediately shrivel up and become all wrinkly from all the stress and pressure, almost like it had lost several decades or even centuries of its life.

"Who are you calling fool? Are you calling me a fool and a liar? The real question is if YOU know who you are even speaking with. I am Avilia Graymore! Former Queen of all demons! You got that? Hahaha! And, don't worry, as long as you cooperate with me I won't hurt you," Avilia said in a playful tone, laughing loudly at how the beast's demeanour had suddenly switched when it took a good look at her.

But, once again, the spirit's perspective of reality was twisted and distorted, not allowing it to see the truth and reality of the situation. Instead of seeing Avilia's casual and playful laugh, it instead saw and heard the laugh of a bloodthirsty monster, getting itself ready to skin it alive, tear it limb from limb before eating it for breakfast.

The wolf was just getting the consequences of its words and actions as it messed with the worst person that it could have ever messed with.

The wolf felt a bad feeling in its stomach and down its spine, as it sensed that its slow yet inevitable death was very near, making its ageing process grow much faster due to the increasing stress and pressure in its insane mind.

Then, as Avilia was still laughing at the spirits sorry looking state, her eyes closed holding her stomach from the pain of her own laughter when she heard the sound of flesh being pierced, followed by a loud scream filled with nothing but agony and pain as she felt a warm substance splash on her face, greatly startling her as it was something she did not at all expect.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the body of the wolf with a large, bloody, ice spike protruding from the void-like ground underneath its feet, impaling it right through the chest and heart, making blood splatter everywhere, making it float suspended in the air, blood dripping from its body, with an empty look in its once mesmerizing blue glowing eyes.

The icy wolf was dead…

It had killed itself from its own fear and desperation, not wanting to live long enough to see where its fate lied. it thought that it would have been much better and more peaceful than dying by the hands of the evil, all powerful entity laughing in front of it.

Avilia simply just stared at the body of the dead wolf in absolute bewilderment, Her mouth wide open as she was still not able to fathom what had just happened…

'N-no way I scared it that much…I was holding back so much of my weakened power and I was being so nice to it… What the fuck?! I still had so much shit to ask it about and now I may never again have the chance!' Avilia inwardly cursed with extreme frustration, still trying her best to take in what had just transpired.

Then, not even a second later, Avilia observed that the body of the wolf disintegrated out of thin air, leaking an unknown blue substance that served as it's power. That power escaped out of the subspace and was absorbed and mixed into Moby's dragon bloodline, granting him his ice dragon skill tree. Which could have in the end been more of a benefit than a deficit.
