NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 138 : Different colors
Then, something extraordinary happened: Ema's body began to glow with a soft, radiant turquoise light, her whole body emanating a turquoise shimmer.
The fairy watched me with her bright eyes as she grabbed my shirt, diverting my attention from Ema to her. Her tiny fingers pointed to Ema with excitement, and somewhat puzzled, I asked, "Do you want me to help Ema?" The fairy's eyes sparkled as she nodded eagerly, expressing her excitement for the idea.
Although her request puzzled me a little, I understood that she was the one directing the situation in a way.
I approached Lysandra's side, noticing the tiny beads of sweat on her forehead. With a smile, I took out a small handkerchief and gently dabbed it over her skin to dry the sweat. As I did so, I felt the fairy's insistence by my side, wishing to contribute in some way to helping Ema.
Her determination was palpable, making me ponder the meaning behind her gesture; perhaps there was something deeper in her desire to help.
The aura extended from my fingers like fine threads of darkness piercing through the turquoise glow until it settled on Ema's chest. I could feel Lysandra's hesitant gaze, but I simply looked at her and shrugged, unable to explain my own actions. I didn't even fully understand what I was doing there, but for some reason, the fairy seemed to want us to intervene.
As the turquoise aura began to tint with black, the fairy made a gesture with her tiny arms, indicating that I should stop my flow of mana towards Ema's orb. I responded to her signal and ceased sending more mana towards the sphere. Then, the fairy moved towards Elsa and performed the same procedure I had just done.
The three of us were engulfed in deep confusion as the fairy began to flutter around Elsa. Tiny specks of dark light emanated from her body, floating in the air, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere. Hours passed slowly, and with time, even Lysandra began to show signs of exhaustion. That was when I decided to intervene to help her replenish her mana reserves.
But in the meantime, something strange was happening to the aura around Ema. It began to slowly transform, taking the shape of a dark egg that completely enveloped her... I glanced at the fairy, whose barely perceptible laughter echoed in the air, as if she were enjoying some internal joke only she understood.
"Don't tell me..." I murmured incredulously just before the dark egg suddenly cracked open. The darkness composing it slid into Ema's body, and at that moment, with surprise and awe, I saw her rise. My eyes widened, trying to comprehend what I was witnessing.
I looked around, trying to find the little fairy, but to my surprise, I found her behind Lysandra, hidden from everyone's sight. Her laughter echoed in the air, as if she were enjoying a prank that only she understood. But now seeing Ema...
Ema shot out of the circle of stones, now shrouded in dense darkness with no trace of light. I watched as she hugged her parents tightly, and as she did, my attention focused on her head. Her hair, which should have been brown, now looked incredibly black, a shade that seemed to absorb all the light around it. This made no sense; her hair color shouldn't have changed.
Furthermore, her eyes, which were once blue, remained the same color, showing no signs of change. But the most bewildering thing was her skin; it now seemed to radiate a subtle glow, as if it were imbued with a large amount of mana. And to my surprise, I also noticed that she had grown a little taller.
The awakening of the bloodline carried benefits far beyond the obvious physical changes. Although she was still a novice in mana manipulation, this awakening would greatly accelerate her growth and development in that aspect.
I watched as Ema stood before me, her black hair glowing faintly behind her, her chest swelled with pride, and behind her, the fairy also wore an expression of satisfaction and pride.
Ema gathered her hair, which had grown in size along with her, and asked me with a radiant smile, "Do you like my hair, brother?" She proudly presented her new hair color, pointing out its similarity to my aura. Her eyes, full of emotion, gleamed as they awaited my response. I made an exasperated gesture before replying after a few seconds, "It's quite beautiful."
I watched as the fairy nodded her head, as if she were satisfied with the result. It was evident that she had something to do with this transformation, but seeing the genuine joy in Ema's eyes, I realized there was no problem. If she liked her new hair and it made her happy, then there was no reason to worry.
Ema expressed her gratitude to each of us with such intensity that even a few tears escaped from her eyes, flooding her cheeks with overwhelming emotion. For several minutes, we had to console her as she tried to contain her overwhelming feelings. Finally, she managed to calm down enough to follow Lysandra's instructions: "Release mana," she instructed. Ema nodded in response.
Clasping her hands together, Ema's red mana began to slowly take shape, manifesting as a beautiful flower. However, unlike the red flowers Lysandra used to create, Ema's were different. Each of her flowers had petals of various colors: white, red, blue, yellow, or green. It was an impressive and unique sight, reflecting the diversity and vitality of her inner energy.
The fairy was also present, and her tiny eyes widened before she puffed out her chest with pride. "Indeed, she has a great affinity with nature, but it's very different from mine," declared Lysandra enthusiastically, until Anthony's voice snapped her out of her thoughts.
"It's more normal than your affinity," Anthony said, interrupting the moment with his typical sarcasm. Lysandra's gaze turned fierce, and her eyes began to shine brightly. It was evident that she was contemplating various ways to deal with Anthony, and not all of them seemed friendly.
