"Still, why did my spiritual vision seem like it linked me to the Aether Realm?"
Levi's expression swiftly turned solemn upon being reminded of the change. He understood that his access to the Aether Realm could only be through the Soulleech Maw. Yet, he had been able to touch upon it without even voicing a request.
"You weren't the only one benefiting from the technique." Ash'Kral pointed at his palm. "That little demon must have evolved as well."
Levi's lips parted slightly in surprise as he swiftly summoned the Soulleech Maw... his palm split apart from the middle, giving birth to a Venus-like mouth with tiny, sharp purplish teeth lining its edges.
The Maw's tongue extended out lazily, like it was just waking up from a deep, comfortable slumber... once it noticed Levi, however, the tongue snapped toward his cheek excitedly, licking him nonstop.
"Mercy... mercy..."
