My Unconventional Lover: Seeing A Different World

Creepy laugh was heard from the Shadow’s throat, mixed with a bit of its disgusting growl. Seeing it’s scary and twisted appearance, I was sure it had forgotten its true identity. Negativity had given it a new power but it also had changed its appearance. After learning from Siji these days, I knew that these Shadows were mostly humans before. Even after their death, their greed didn’t diminish, but instead it was getting stronger. With a bit persuading, they turned into human’s pet, feeding of negativity and blood of living creatures, their previous human form changed into this horrid appearance.

Sometimes, some of these creatures were able to obtain a huge power and helped them to upgrade their level in the astral world, they could change their appearance to a soft and gentle woman or handsome and manly man. Compared to those who still had their human form, these beings were much more powerful and their form were much more solid than those newbie ghost.

Still, normal human couldn’t touch them. And their scary appearance was much more scary than these Shadows.

Kunti was included in the higher level ghost who was able to change their appearance. Normally, normal dark magic practitioner couldn’t summon her or use her. But, Amanda’s father was not any normal dark magic practitioner. He used special method in summoning Kuntilanak to deal with me.

Too bad, I was not a normal person, too. Instead of playing with me, he ended up being tortured inside my house in astral world.

One must think... What if I didn’t have this power?

No ifs.

If i didn’t have this power, I wouldn’t be targeted by them. They would treat me like any ordinary people since I possessed no threat to them. I was being targeted because they had sensed something in me. Too bad it ended up unlocked all the power inside of me.

.....

Well, let’s get back to the Shadow in front of me. It wouldn’t be good to let it wait for me while I was reminiscing back to my days before I was able to see them.

“Siji, is there any way to see what it has done?” I asked my adviser.

“Put your hand on them and try to focus your consciousness. It might resist but you can use your authority to subdue it and freely look into his memory.” Siji answered.

“Sounds easy but knowing you, I won’t think it is easy.” I shook my head. After all, Siji was probably a genius, and that’s how he became an adviser.

Siji smirked but he said nothing. I put my hand on the Shadow’s shoulder, ignoring its shriek and violent trashing, and closed my eyes. I had done this before, working up my consciousness and I had somehow had a grasp of how to do it. But, I had never done it towards any astral beings before. Invading someone’s memory would not feel good, right? But with the authority as the master of White Army, I could do it forcefully towards evil beings.

I just needed to be careful and absolutely never underestimated those beings.

Well, easier said than done.

I took a deep breath and put my strand of consciousness imbued with my spiritual power into the Shadow in front of me. But, as soon as I entered its mind, I had the urge to pull out and beat Siji up.

He didn’t mention that going inside a Shadow’s mind would as dark as hell!

But, I couldn’t pull out now. If I were to stop abruptly, I would hurt myself. I was aware that forcing my way in would have to be slow like the flow of water in the calm river. Again, I took a deep breath to suppress the annoyance.

It was dark inside the Shadow’s mind, but I made my way steadily. It was as if there was a flow of stream leading me inside. I thought I had been walking for several minutes when I noticed a strong force was attacking me, trying to stop me from moving forward.

It went dizzy for a second, but I persisted. Steadying my breath, I walked forward with my right palm opened wide in front of me. The strong force got violent and I felt like it was trying to shred me into pieces. The sensation was almost real that I started to falter.

“Stop!” I hissed towards the oppressive force. “I can end your tiny life here, you know?”

“Let’s see who’s going to die, then!” A strange voice belonged to an older woman was heard as it spoke viciously.

A stronger oppressive force came towards me like a tornado, but somehow I felt calm.

“Fool.” That word escaped from my lips as I flicked my fingers towards that force. “Submit yourself!” I ordered as my body emitted thin layer of light and surrounded my body. A strand of it formed a thin rope and flew towards the force, encircled something in the middle of the force.

A shrill cry was heard as I tugged the thin rope. An old woman fell with a thud in front of me and just like that, the oppressive force went as if it was never there.

The old woman wailed like a pig, my thin light rope was wrapped around her neck tightly. The more she struggled, the more it tightened around her neck.

I sneered. “With your power and you’re trying to challenge me?” I snorted. “Hiding yourself in the mind of your pet, controlling it so that it won’t betray you. What a fool step! This Shadow had surrendered itself the moment I went into its consciousness, yet you wanted to act as if it was its will to reject my presence here. Do you think I am that blind not to be able to differ both of your power? Not to mention that you’re here on behalf of someone, the real person who sent this shadow to harm Lisa’s younger brother. Since that person is not that powerful, you want to protect it by giving him a pet that you have under your control? Very nice!” I clapped my hands in a mocking gesture.

“Hey, your master is stupid! At least you’re not as stupid as her.” I shouted at the darkness in front of me.

As expected, the darkness started to shake and crumble down, revealing a young girl around fifteen to sixteen years old, shaking with fear. She was wearing a plain white dress with a pair of beautiful shoes. Her hair was around waist length and she had fair skin -if only it was not too transparent. She was walking towards me while avoiding the intense gaze from the old woman.

The old woman had a mad look on her face, as if she wanted to swallow the young girl wholly. The young girl, on the other side, was jumpy and frightened. When she passed by the old woman, the old woman jumped and threw herself at the girl, successfully made the girl scream and ran towards me in her fright.

But, they must be thinking that I was stupid to the point this cheap plot would be unseen from me.

Heh!
