Chapitre 43: New Ability
It was dark. I can't see and I also can't breathe properly. What's happening? I tried to move, but I couldn't. I tried to speak, but I couldn't. Whatever this place is, it's so eerie. After a few minutes, I saw a purple flame. It surrounded me. When I looked at myself, my hands were stained in blood.
"What the hell is this…"
I could speak, so I tried screaming, asking for help. No response. It was just the sound of the flames and my breathing. However, I can't feel pain. I touched the flames, but still, I couldn't feel pain. It was as if these flames or this whole place can't hurt me. If it were a different person, they would have died way before they even reached this point. I'm not human after all. Sometimes I say that I am one, but that's because I'm too lazy to explain. And the people who know about me being a world traveler probably already know that I'm not really human.
The ground started being reflective like a mirror. I looked below me and saw that my eyes were purple. Ah, I think I know what this means…
And as if to confirm my thoughts, the Festering Desire fell from up above and landed in front of me, its blade glowing purple. Haah, so I was right. This is a dream. A dream that is showing just how dangerous this power of mine is. This power is more of a danger to others than it is to me. Mountain Shaper already warned me of this power of mine. I'll make sure it won't reach the point where I'll hurt someone I care about. I walked over to the sword and held the sword.
I wonder how I could stay calm in a situation like this. Well, I shouldn't really worry about that. Time to wake up. I gripped the handle of the sword harder, information entering my brain and the flames engulfing me. A moment later, the flames started entering me, as if being a part of me. After that, everything went black.

After waking up, I looked beside me and saw that Ganyu and Noelle were sleeping. I kinda laughed a little. If this were the old Noelle and Ganyu, they wouldn't sleep even if I told them to. I stood up and stretched a bit. I held out my right hand in front of me and used my new ability. It was the purple flames from earlier. In exchange for the Elemental Swirl that my sword can do, I gained this ability. That kinda sucks, but this ability is powerful in its own right.
"It's warm." I touched the flames with my free hand. It doesn't hurt. I'm pretty sure it'll hurt the others though.
I made the flames disappear and just opened the window to take a look at the night sky. When I took a look at the time on my phone, it was already 12 in the midnight. I wonder what time Ganyu and Noelle came back. I'll just ask them later.
"I want to drink something."
I went out of our room and was planning to go outside to buy something to drink. When I passed by the cafeteria, I saw someone I knew drinking tea and reading a book all by herself. I slowly made my way to her until she noticed me as well.
"Hello there cutie. Did you need something?" said Lisa.
"I was just about to head out to buy a drink when I saw you here. So I decided to just go here instead."
"Aww, how sweet of you. Come, take a seat beside me."
I did as I was told and sat beside her. She poured me some tea as well. I was gonna question where she got this tea set, but then I remembered about the storage rings. Dang, I completely forgot about those for a second there. I sighed and just accepted the tea.
"Mhm… this is good."
"Why thank you."
We chatted for a bit until her phone rang. She answered it as I continued on drinking tea and thinking of how to keep my flames from hurting anyone. Actually, I don't even know just how dangerous my flames are. I should try it on something later. When Lisa finished her call, we chatted more. I decided to just ask her about the flames since she does love reading books. I already know what those flames are because of the information I got earlier in that dream. I was just curious if anyone else actually knows about these flames.
"Hey Lisa, do you know what these are?" I said as I showed her the purple flames.
Her eyes widened and she leaned a bit closer, looking at the flames. I was a bit scared that she might get too close and the flames might accidentally touch her. Because of that, I made the flames a bit smaller and kept a close eye on Lisa as well. That's when I noticed it.
'Ah, her cleavage is showing…'
She didn't notice me staring because she was focused on the flames. If she noticed, I would have been teased by her a lot. After a few minutes of her just staring at the flames, I closed my hand and extinguished the flame. I was also trying hard not to stare at her chest.
"Aww, why did you do that cutie?"
"It would have been dangerous… especially for me."
I then asked her again if she knew what these flames were.
"No, I haven't seen something like this before."
I sighed. Well, maybe Albedo knows of it. I mean, he was the one who gave the sword to me after all. I noticed that Lisa was looking at me curiously so I asked her what was wrong.
"Would you mind telling what exactly those flames were?"
"Oh, you see…"
I started to explain to her the dream I had. I also told her how I got this sword and everything I knew about it. When I finished explaining, she practically had sparkles in her eyes. Just then, I got an idea.
"Would you like to help me get the hang of it?"
"Really? If it's okay, then yes."
I smiled and told her to call me when she wakes up next morning so that I could warp us to my Domain. After that, we chatted a bit more until we both decided to call it a day. Well, it was already 2 AM, but let's not talk about that. While training with Lisa tomorrow, I might as well train my breathing technique. Still don't have a name for it though. I might just call it Corruption Breathing. I already planned on using my sword's power and my new ability along with it after all.
