I will strive beyond this cursed bloodline!

Chapter 49: So...What is this feeling?

It felt...weird.

Elizabeth wasn't quite sure what it was, but something was...Off.

Was it because she had been coming only to the half of the blonde asshole? She didn't think it would be that, but her [Soulscape] somehow felt...Closer to her. She was feeling the connection to the shadows more strongly than before. It was almost as if the shadow energy was permeating more strongly into her [Soul].

She was sorely tempted to try and use her [Identify] backed up by her [Idea] to try and search for the reason behind this weird feeling she was having. But a quick look into her mana still hovering just above the 1% of mana stopped her.

After her father left her with the weird sports drink to keep drinking, she just lay on her bed once again while drinking it. She decided to go and relax on her soulscape while asking Alexa a few questions on the magic side.

But soon enough after coming here, she got this weird feeling, her only plan was to see if she could relax in the meadow of the little girl... But now she was curious.

Her father had said to not use her [Skills] since that could put a strain on her [Soul]. But her connection with the shadows was still there in the background. If anything the weird connection to the other skills felt... Strained.

She couldn't even use them to [Identify] her hands, and she tried it...With father present ready to shove more of the weird sport's drink into her mouth if needed.

So instead she was here, and she felt at peace. Almost as if the shadows were embracing her, as such she didn't notice when she arrived at the library.

Sure enough, the little girl was running from here and there jumping all over the place, so while trying her hardest to not stare too much into the weird shadow energy leaking all over the place she called for the attention of the little girl.

"Hello...?" Said the blonde girl, getting the response in the form of a hugging tackle from the little girl. As always this little girl was overactive.

Before getting to what she was coming here she...Took a sip from her sports drink?

Wait.

"How did I bring this here?... Granted my clothes come with me but weren't they a physical manifestation of the image I have of myself?"

Thought the blonde girl while taking another sip from the drink.

And sure enough, her mana kept going up. The only weird thing was that the weird connection she felt with the shadow energy in the atmosphere was getting weaker.

Perhaps she was imagining things after all.

If anything her stress meter stopped going down after she started taking sips of the drink inside her soulscape. What was that about?

The connection to the shadows stopped getting stronger, her stress meter stopped going down. But her mana started going up and her connection to her other skills started returning slowly.

"Yeah...I need to work on some spells, so I will just use one of the terminals if you don't mind." Said the blonde girl while walking towards one of the stations in the library.

She took an obvious route to where she had felt one of the shadow rifts that was leaking shadow energy. Ignoring the weird wince the little girl did.

"Oh sorry about the mess, we had a leak." Said the little girl while running towards one of the buttons in a wall and started spamming said button.

She was quite aggressive with the poor button.

"The what?" Asked the blonde girl while standing on top of where she had felt the rift before. Yep, sure enough, her stress meter started going down once again. And she felt the connection with the shadows getting stronger once again too.
