Obscene World Chapter 59

"Goddess is not the reason behind you—us wielding powers." Seraphine Stormfang,— my sister's master said with conviction. "The powers we have are something we are born with, not something we are granted. So, stop believing in the words spread by those silver-headed bitches."

I listened to her, nodding my head, agreeing with her. However, I really didn't care. But hearing her words, something didn't make sense. First, if she hated church, why wasn't something related to this ever heard of? I mean, she is a literal DEMIGOD.

So, if she wanted, she could show her dissatisfaction (hatred), and many people would follow her, as there are cults that worship DEMIGODS.

I mean, yeah, it does create many other problems like riots, civil wars, and the church retaliating—of this I wasn't sure. But if their goddess and her teachings were harmed, I am fairly certain they would.

'Why the fuck do these contradicting thoughts come into my mind?'

I knew that I sounded dumb to first think, Why did she not show her hatred towards the church? Then also listed the reasons that could—no, maybe they were why she didn't.

Yet, somehow, I felt there was something else? Some other reason why she didn't show her hatred. I didn't know how and why, but I just felt it.

But then that feeling changed.

And...

"Ba-dump...!" "Ba-dump...!"

My heartbeat suddenly spiked, my heart hammering against my chest. It felt as if I was about to grasp something.

My vision shook, blurring from the sides, and I heard every beat, every thump of my heart, as if it was beating inside my ears.

What was happening? What was this feeling? I couldn't reckon on understanding it, as I couldn't think. My mind had blanked, and the feeling that I was about to grasp something deepened.

What was I about to grasp?

What was it? Was it something important? Something dangerous? I didn't know. I just knew that something-something was...

"Oi."

"Huh!" I released a surprised sound as my sister's master suddenly teleported in front of me, her beautiful face inches away from me.

"It's not that deep, kid. Stop thinking about it." She said, her face still inches away from me.

"Ok," I nodded, inadvertently.

After hearing my reply, she vanished, appearing once more sitting on her desk.

"Don't think too deeply about it, hm. I already know you don't believe in the Goddess." She said, clearly pleased. "I said those things because I hate those fucking silver-haired bastards. And they are wrong."

Ending her words, she clapped her hands and spoke up. "How about we leave these things and go back to our question, 'From where does Essence come from?'"

Scratching my head, I nodded and threw useless thoughts back into my mind to focus on.

'Weird.'

...

"As you thought of Essence as blood. So, if we take it that way, Aelmyra will be a body, and Essence will be its blood. As the body is responsible for creating blood, Aelmyra does the same." She pointed downwards. "The core, which is present in the center of the Aelmyra, is where Essence comes from. Dimension cracks also contribute, but not that much."

Finished speaking, she once more extended her hands, and the same thing happened: essence gathered on her hand, but this time three spheres appeared, two of which—that were present on the side—were fire, and the one on the top was light.

"Essence is a medium by which we use our powers, which you should already know." She said, playing with the spheres. "And with Essence as a medium, you can use your Elements, spells, and a heck lot of things."

I nodded while seeing her increasing number of spheres.

"As I told you before, Essence can only be felt. And you can feel it to a certain point. But that is not enough." She dispelled the spheres. "When you reach the level where you can control Essence, only then can you use your Elements and learn other things. Like creating a fireball."

A sphere of fire once more appeared.

'Oh!'

"We will train your body first, so you can control Essence," She said with a smile. And then her smile stretched, nearly splitting her face in half. "By the way, your teleporting here was one of the ways."

"Huh!"

"Let's start, at last?"

'FUC—'

...

"Ha...!" "Ha...!"

'How to inhale? Fuck, I forgot. Am I going to die in the end? NO! I DON—'

"Smack...!"

A kick landed on my ass.

"Stop acting like a bitch. It was not even hard, just some normal warm-up exercise."

I turned my face towards the voice, and the person convicted for my state was standing there, enjoying my disarray.

'WARM-UP, THAT WAS WARM-UP. Y-YOU FU—'

She raised her eyebrows at my reaction. "What?"

"Nothing," I mumbled, going back to hugging the ground.

"Hm, there's no need for training anymore—"

"Really," I said, excited by the outcome. I had nothing left in me, anyway. If she wanted me to train more, I didn't think I could go through more of her devilish training. And I certainly don't want to do her training anymore.

'But wasn't the training so I can control Essence? I don't think I can.'

As this thought came to my mind, I felt chills, and my gaze unconsciously moved towards her. She was smiling; the devilish face-splitting smile was carved on her face.

"—for today, that is." She ended her sentence, making the reality clear to me.

'Moth—'

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing," I mumbled, before once more hugging the ground, finding solace in it.

"Good, good." She mused before adding, "Time to go home."

"Huh!?"

'REALLY,' I was once more in the air. And I was once more saved by my sis.

"Are you okay?" She once again asked with the same worried expression.

"I am fine," I replied, soothing her worries.

After which I took a bath, ate breakfast, came to my room, and jumped on my bed to start my dreaming session because my bones and muscles were groaning due to the hellish training I went through today.

As the sheets clung to my body and exhaustion started to pull me in, I felt an itching feeling, as if I had forgotten something. Something that I was about to...

'Weird. Did I forget something?'
