Chương 159: Bound

Lucas' body then flew to his feet, he gripped his hand in wonder, then finally noticed Void Stiles not far away from him. His lips curled in amusement as he spoke.

"Interesting…haven't seen you in a while." Just as the Nogitsune was about to talk, Lucas put a finger on his lips.

"Shhh…" The Nogitsune's eyes widened as he couldn't utter a single word, he didn't feel like he was in the presence of a human anymore. Lucas smiled brightly, but with those black eyes, it made him look even more terrifying. He then shifted his gaze to Allison and his eyes carried a sense of warmth in them. Allison looked at Lucas in shock, joy, and confusion at the same time. She was happy that he was alive but something didn't feel right, then the time she died came to mind. That familiar feeling washed over her.

Lucas just smiled at her, then the darkness in his eyes seemed to slowly fade, and with it appeared the familiar crimson eyes. The moment that the red eyes returned, Lucas felt a sharp headache and looked in confusion at the surroundings, but the presence of the Nogitsune made him quickly come to his senses.

'I succeeded!' Lucas thought inwardly and gazed at the Nogitsune with a smile. Feeling the constraints on him gone, Void Stiles wasn't happy at all. He felt like the board was overturned and the pieces weren't on it anymore.

"What did you do?" Lucas' smile slowly vanished and his fangs came out.

"No, the question is what I'm about to do!" Before the Nogitsune could react, Lucas lunged at him and plunged his fangs into the body of Stiles.

"Ahhhh!" Void Stiles shouted in pain as he could feel something rejecting him from Stiles' body. This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Just then the formation on the ground fully lit up in a crimson red, and drops of red blood flew from the ground straight into Void Stiles' mouth.

"Gurgg!" Void Stiles grabbed his throat in shock, then he began vomiting all the blood out and with it, a fly flew as well. Just as the fly was about to escape, the blood began fusing with it, and soon a figure appeared in that spot, it was still Stiles' appearance but with a much darker expression. Lucas quickly grabbed Stiles who was about to fall and put him down. Stiles looked like he was drained and was one step away from fainting.

"You good buddy?" Stiles opened his mouth but he was too exhausted and fainted. Lucas let go of him and got up, from now on Stiles' life will change forever but it was something to think about later on. The Nogitsune stared down at his new body in horror, clearly not happy about this, he glared with hatred at Lucas.

"You bound me to this body! HOW?!!" Lucas didn't answer and looked down at the ground. The Nogitsune followed his gaze and suddenly his eyes shrank as he realized something.

"You knew! You knew that I was the Nogitsune from the very beginning!." Lucas gazed at him in amusement, the thousand-year-old fox wasn't feeling so proud anymore.

"You really enjoy watching spectacles." The Nogitsune stepped back.

"That night, you knew that I was watching!"

"What? You didn't enjoy the show?" Lucas smiled as he took a step forward. Though the Nogitsune somehow managed to mask his presence toward his predatory ability. His other ability, Cognitive Resonance, would always show in his mind like a radar those that he touched, even when a dark spirit took over.

"Attack!" The Nogitsune wished nothing more than to see him dead, at his order the four Oni attacked, the last one wanted to attack as well but Allison quickly blocked its way. Lucas stretched his head as the blades were just a small distance from his body. Time slowed down in his eyes, just as a sword was about to touch his neck he lightly shifted his head then grabbed the Oni by the neck. Before the other blades could hit him he waved the spear, knocking them all away.

He looked into the eyes of the Oni and smiled, then he let go of his neck. Just as the Oni was about to strike him, Lucas stabbed his neck with a small dagger.

"Useful stuff, isn't it?" He looked at the dagger and spoke to the dying Oni, but he didn't get anything in return, just the Oni disappearing completely. The energy he got was smaller this time, not even enough to have a new ability. He then looked at the strongest Oni, he was sure that the last tail could be a better meal. The Nogitsune was already looking around as he felt the situation was beginning to be unfavorable. Lucas of course noticed this and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Trying to run? I always knew you had the potential to be a rat."
