Chapter 375: The Abyss (2)
"W-w-w-what…" Moby blurted out loud, overwhelmed by what was happening in front of him. "Where did all of this come from… Evolution… with a question mark?? Avilia, is that you!? Where were you!?"
\'Wow wow! Calm down, one question at a time,\' Avilia replied before continuing. \'I\'ve been awake ever since you woke up after whatever that dream was, I just didn\'t wanna butt-in when you were in the middle of everything else. So, I also withheld the notifications until now just so it didn\'t distract you or something,\'
\'I-I see… What about everything else? Why were you gone? What is this \'Evolution,\'\' Moby mumbled back, feeling a heartbeat coming from his brain.
\'I was gone trying to contain that unstable egg, without it I\'m not sure that evolution of yours would have been so painless…\' Avilia\'s speech was unusually rigid like she was trying to hide some sort of pain that Moby did not seem to initially notice.
\'Really!? Well, thanks for that…\' Moby didn\'t bother to confirm Avilia\'s words and simply took them as facts.
\'Before I start on this evolution thing, let me get this straight… Your parents are demons, most likely dragons I\'d assume who were in possession of my necklace and were planet-hopping in order to escape something which I\'d assume to be the angels. They found you due to your mysterious aura and took you in, but your energy was obscure and out of control, so they sacrificed their own powers to seal whatever that was inside you away… That seal must be that orb or egg thing in your core… And the reason why your hair is slowly turning red… As you grow stronger… The seal is slowly being undone… You, you\'re no human, and you never were a human… But, I\'m not surprised that my powers detected you as human since that seal that your parents put was worth all of their powers… Oh, and let\'s not forget that you are adopted,\'
\'Wait, so you were able to see all of that with me?\' Moby\'s eyes grew wide at the realization.
\'Kinda,\'
\'Were you able to see my parent\'s faces?! If so then do you recognize them?\'
\'Well, assuming they are dragons, it\'s rare to actually see their humanoid forms so I don\'t really know… And Kane is not a family name I can remember off the top of my head… But, I\'m sure whoever they are, they are great people. Whatever the reason was that they were in possession of my necklace, I\'m certain it was for a good cause… It seemed like they planned for me to be with you…\'
\'Yeah… I\'m sure they were…\' Moby pondered, thinking of his parent\'s loving smiles once again before shaking his head remembering now was not the time for sentiment. \'A-anyways! Back to this evolution, what is \'Abyssal?\'.
\'I\'m not sure really…\' She inwardly shrugged.
\'Wait, aren\'t you the one who named it and sent the notification?\'
\'Yeah, but that name just suddenly popped up in my head… I\'m not sure how…\'
\'Was it that unknown voice in my head who did that?\' Moby inwardly thought deep down in his consciousness far away from his surface thoughts were Avilia could reach.\'
\'As for the evolution, it\'s a stage I\'ve never before seen in my life, that\'s why I doubted that it was even an evolution in the first place. I don\'t know what new powers you got, I don\'t know what kind of race this \'Abyss,\' even is. A new type of demon from an age after my departure? An angel? Or something else, I don\'t know and I hate it!\'
\'So, what exactly did this change then?\' Moby wondered.
\'You\'ll have to test it out for yourself.? But, there is a pretty obvious difference in one department… Check your stats,\'
\'Huh?\'

\'WWUUUUUUUUUHHH!! All my stats just straight up doubled!! No wonder I survived that dagger attack!\'
\'Yeah, I was surprised too. There must be a lot of hidden, sealed powers you got. I wonder if that\'s what it was that day… That odd feeling…\'
\'What odd feeling,\' Moby asked.
\'Oh, sorry, I was speaking out loud, it\'s really nothing… Anyways, I know you also wanted to ask me if the guy in the castle is a demon or not and what\'s up with those idiots at the bottom of the mountain.\'
\'Yeah, you read my mind alright, so what is it?\' Moby\'s anticipation was reaching its climax, and he waited with bated breath for an answer.
\'I\'d say your hunch has merit. But, it\'s not a guarantee. As for the villagers, I\'d say that their negative energies are being siphoned and converted into demon energy just like I did with you, only what they are doing is far less efficient than my refined method. It\'s not at all something we demons usually employ since we usually just kill everything that moves for more XP. I\'d call it amateur work at best. Sure, that might be demon magic in use, but like we found out before, demon magic can be harnessed from the air, and shalkers seem to know how to do it. I\'d—\'

\'Paladin I see…\' Moby smirked and inwardly nodded. \'Sorry Avilia, we can continue our conversation later. This might really be the strongest foe I\'ve ever met and the first demon I see outside of whom I\'ve created with my own two hands. I know you must be hurt, you don\'t have to tell me. Something really bad must have happened to the nether realm considering what I saw in my memories. But don\'t worry! I\'m sure we\'ll soon find answers! I didn\'t have time to tell you this until now, but when you were gone, I truly felt like part of me was missing... I\'m glad to see you\'re okay,\'
\'W-wha! Whatever do you mean! Of course I\'m fine! Just go see that new slave of yours and don\'t forget to check that level 100 book when you have the chance!\'
