John was the most vocal, but the others were shocked too; it’s not every day you see someone turn into a shadow and disappear.
Steven stared thoughtfully at where Lucas stood, then turned to both of them and spoke. "Why are you making such a fuss? Let’s go."
Robert and John looked at him, then John pointed at his legs and sneered at him. "You old fool, do you think that I didn’t see you trembling like a duck?"
"You!" Steven’s old face darkened and he grabbed his gun. John didn’t flinch, and he did the same.
Now Robert felt like he was about to die. He saw the psychopath leave and was happy for a second but clearly it was too soon.
While the two were bickering just like an old couple, Lucas’ body was swimming through the shadows just like a fish in water.
Just as the sun was about to rise, Lucas finally arrived at the base. He entered directly through the shadows without even using the elevator anymore.
Once he emerged from the ground, he took a few deep breaths as he still didn’t feel that comfortable using this ability over long distances.
But he had to do it since he noticed that this time he was a little faster, so that meant his speed could grow if he learned to use it more skillfully.
Just as he was about to head back, he was startled as he saw Allison sleeping peacefully on the couch while facing the direction of the elevator.
He smiled as he approached her, then bent down and gently stroked her face. Her eyelids trembled, then she slowly opened her eyes and saw Lucas.
"You’re here..." She whispered as she touched his hand. "Did you achieve your goal?"
Lucas sat beside her and explained what happened, while she carefully listened to his every word. Her eyes had a glimmer of seriousness in them, and from time to time she glanced at his lips.
After finishing talking, Lucas remembered the new effects of his tail, and his face suddenly became serious as he stared at her. "I have a new ability."
"Huh?" Allison was surprised by his serious demeanor, but she waited for him to speak about what he meant.
Lucas didn’t keep her waiting and told her directly. "It allows me to connect with one person and share my immortality, but if I die that person would die as well."
"What?!" Allison was shocked, not just by the effects but by the fact that he said he was immortal.
But as she calmed down she remembered her speculation. "Is it from the Nogitsune?" She glanced at him with a certain expression.
She tasted the benefits herself when she killed an Oni, combined with Lucas hunting a lot of shapeshifters and even releasing the Nogitsune she now knew that he didn’t do anything needlessly.
Lucas nodded acknowledging her guess. It wasn’t a big secret since she already experienced his power when she gained another ability.
He then gazed seriously into her eyes, "Will you remain by my side forever?"
"Yes!" Allison replied immediately without a second thought, she gazed at him with love in her eyes. As for the fact that she would die if Lucas died? She would rather die with him than live without him.
Lucas smiled as he leaned over and kissed her passionately, as this was happening a black tail emerged from his back.
"Crack!"
The tail suddenly shattered and all of the remains flew inside of Allison, her body began to heat up but this only made her more excited.
She pushed Lucas’ body back on the couch and mounted him, then she took her shirt off and threw it on the ground.
Lucas touched her belly and slowly raised his hand, feeling his groping Allison moaned in pleasure and leaned in and bit his neck.
He gripped her ass hard, just as he raised his hand to undo her bra from behind both of them froze.
"Crunch!"
The sound startled both of them, and when they looked back they saw Malia eating chips while eyeing them carefully, as if she was studying what they were doing.
"Malia!" Allison shouted as she fell to the ground while trying to put her shirt back on.
"What?" Malia gave them a confused look, then gestured with her hand. "Don’t worry about me, continue, I’m curious about the next part."
As she finally grabbed the shirt, Allison’s eyes were practically spewing fire.
Lucas leaned back on the couch and looked at the ceiling while praying to God to give him patience or else he would kill this stupid coyote.
He didn’t send Malia to her father because he worried she would be sent to Eichen House, but now he was starting to rethink his decision.
