Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Ailetta’s Cold Encounter
Despite the graveyard of corpses, flesh, and unrecognizable fluid, Ailetta walked unhurriedly toward Noah amidst his feeding. Her many eyes comfortably took in the scenery as if it were a work of art, but the most beautiful display was Noah, finally being able to be true to his deepest desires.
As she walked, she instinctively shaped her lower half to maintain a humanoid form. Her small gelatinous feet would almost audibly et the ground, sotis slightly deforming into their more natural state before reshaping themselves in ti for the next step.
The chilling nature of her appearance, flavored with the carnage backdrop around her, should have made her presence unapproachable. And yet, her comforting smile slightly grew annoyed at the interruption approaching her. When before, her multitude of eyes were appreciating the scenery, now nearly all of them had snapped to the location of a small group of people heading in her direction.
"Hmmmm?" Ailetta easily noticed the small group approaching her.
Her scenic smiles remained, but her patience began to wear thin with every step she took as she noticed the group getting closer, despite the fact she was blatantly ignoring them. Her once leisurely steps began to quicken, and her physical form lost its solid composure with the irritation she was trying to suppress. It wasn’t just because they were interrupting her mont of peace, but the fact that there was still sothing that she desperately needed Noah to do, and she couldn’t wait any longer. Now, just monts away from reaching Noah, ready to savor her predestined desire, she was being forced to deal with an unnecessary distraction.
Her eyes irritatingly narrowed with an unsettling focus, tracking the groups every move, seemingly glaring towards them as a silent warning for them to turn back. She could sense their resolve, seeing it in the way they didn’t hesitate or retreat despite her clear warning, despite the ominous aura surrounding her. It was almost laughable, really. Did they not understand what they were walking into? Or were they simply too foolish to care?
Despite their determination, Ailetta wasn’t concerned about them posing any real threat. No, she had beco sothing far beyond what any of them could handle. Besides, leading the group was Jasmine, who was driven by an emotion that Ailetta hadn’t expected, frantic desperation. The tears streaming down her face, the way her voice called out as she neared, these were not the actions of soone who saw Ailetta as an enemy. In fact, Ailetta was slightly surprised, finding Jasmine’s desperation and worry for her both amusing and laughable.
But even if they did see her as a threat, it wouldn’t matter. Ailetta’s confidence in her own power was absolute. The group’s auras were faint, their strength depleted after a battle that had clearly taken its toll. They were diminished, weakened, and she could see it in the way they moved, in the lack of the sa fire they had before.
She almost pitied them, really. Almost.
Seeing that their confrontation was unavoidable, Ailetta decided to stop, avoiding any possibility of disrupting Noah while he was still in a precarious state. She couldn’t help but sigh, a failed attempt to keep so of her more sinister thoughts at bay. Despite the fact that her humanity was now practically in shambles, her empathy warped, twisted, and horrified; she still wanted to avoid disgracing her forr self’s feelings, at least not so soon.
Unbeknownst to Ailetta, the only person unaffected by her ominous aura was Jasmine. While the others, despite understanding that the monster before them was once their "friend
