Vol. 2 - Chapter 48

Ash

The next day, during the cold morning, while everyone was getting ready to leave to go to the next Site of Power, Vermia approached Ash. The half-demon was finishing up her breakfast as the necromancer walked over to her. Kaori was next to Ash, who the hybrid noticed immediately looked away. 

"Ash," Vermia said. "Regarding what we discussed, we could start now." 

Satsuhiro was nearby, and Ash saw him raise a brow, but she nodded. 

"Sure." 

"Great, come." 

Disregarding the looks everyone gave her, Ash walked with Vermia towards the hot springs area. 

"How much Dark magic has our dear Satsuhiro taught you?" Vermia asked. 

"Uh, not much. Perish, Decimating Touch, Dark Sphere." 

"Hm. I see," she nodded. "Well, how about I show you a spell that's a little more... Special?" 

"What do you mean?" Ash asked. 

"Simple," Vermia leaned forwards conspiratorially. "I made this one."
