Chapter 461 - 'Darkness Manipulation Ability'

’This will be tricky...’

Raphael didn’t immediately rush to attack Ainsley or rob her storage necklace because he knew it wouldn’t be so easy.

The young man stayed still for a few seconds before sighing lightly.

’Let’s just use ’THAT’ then.’

Raphael shook his left hand, and the void around him suddenly trembled, creating ripples after ripples. However, right after that, nothing happened...

Everything stayed the same. At least that’s what others felt and saw.

After Raphael made his move, he was more confident to do his thing since he had nothing to lose, anyway. The young man silently moved to the bed, using the items’ shadows as his hiding place.

He would merge with the shadow or hide in the darkness...a typical assassin!

However, even when he’s already so careful, could he escape a certain spirit’s senses?

Just as Raphael was only a meter away from the bed, the Godfather abruptly opened his eyes and squinted.

’An intruder?’

The young spirit looked at Raphael, who was hiding in the darkness or shadow.

If the spirit didn’t have ’Presence detection’ ability that could cancel most of the invisibility ability or assassin-type ability, he also wouldn’t be able to discover Raphael’s presence.

The Godfather couldn’t help but shake his head.

’Who is that rascal? He looks young yet is already so skillful.’

If it were someone else other than the Godfather who didn’t have an anti-assassin ability, they would have fallen prey under the young man’s claws.

The Godfather didn’t recognise Raphael, but so be it.

Just as Raphael manipulated the darkness to form a dark claw, aiming at Ainsley’s necklace, the Godfather already shouted in Ainsley’s mind.

[LIL LASS! WAKE UP!]

Ainsley was so used to the Godfather’s shout that she thought of it as her morning alarm.

Out of reflex, the baby instantly opened her eyes and rose from the bed.

"Y-yes, yesh! I’m awake– "

Ainsley couldn’t continue her words.

The dark claw that was aiming for her necklace coincidentally stopped right in front of her neck, unable to advance because the controller was scared silly.

Raphael almost had a heart attack when the baby suddenly woke up like that! He even flinched and almost fell on his butt.

Before Raphael could dismiss the dark claw in front of Ainsley’s neck, the baby already saw the strange item and couldn’t help but rub her eyes lazily.

"Hwaaat....its stwill nwight..."

Ainsley subconsciously looked down at the dark claw, thinking that it was another one of the Godfather’s tricks to wake her up...

But then, the baby froze. She could hear the Godfather’s voice in her mind, shouting at her.

[Lil lass! There’s an intruder! That dark claw is the intruder’s special skill!]

Ainsley’s drowsiness instantly flew out of her body. The baby opened her eyes wide while looking at the sharp dark claw, just an inch away from snatching her necklace.

An...intruder? And this dark claw...is a special ability?

The baby was in shock for a few seconds before she suddenly reacted.

"...AHHH!"

Ainsley had a good reflex. Before Raphael could snap out of his shock, the baby already ducked, dodging the incoming dark claw.

The claw just clenched its fingers, yet it caught nothing but air!

At that moment, Raphael snapped out of his shock and immediately calmed his mind. He was still alarmed by Ainsley, who suddenly woke up like that, but he could focus more to control his ability now.

Trying to dodge? Hmph!

Raphael shook his right hand that was forming the same pose as the dark claw. Immediately after, the claw also moved, imitating Raphael’s movement.

It was as if the dark claw was a part of Raphael’s body!

The dark claw with cut-off wrist and dark fog-like tail went straight to Ainsley once more, aiming for her necklace.

When Ainsley saw how nimble the cut-off claw was, her face finally stiffened. It was the first time she saw this kind of thing...and it was horrifying.

On her side was Cellino, who woke up because of the baby’s shout. Seeing Ainsley frozen stiff in front of an unknown ability, the cat shouted in the baby’s mind.

[Master! That’s a darkness ability user...use your luck armour, master! You can dodge it!]

Swirl. Swirl.

Cellino immediately formed a wind barrier to prevent the dark claw from coming too close to Ainsley’s side, giving the baby a few moments to use her ability.

With Cellino’s reminder, Ainsley immediately took a deep breath to calm her chaotic heart while activating her luck manipulation ability.

Luck armour!

In less than a second, a bright gold aura enveloped Ainsley from her head to her toe, forming a vague-looking armour.

Once the golden light enveloped Ainsley’s body perfectly, somehow, the dark claw that had passed by Cellino’s wind barrier couldn’t pierce through the golden armour!

It wasn’t because the dark claw was too weak and that the non-existent armour was strong. It’s just that...the dark claw’s accuracy decreased by a huge margin.

It would always go after the wrong target!

Raphael, who was controlling the darkness in the shadow, couldn’t hell but click his tongue.

So that’s what the others meant when they said their attacks couldn’t touch this baby.

The baby must have used her luck manipulation on herself, making her so lucky that all the attacks missed her body!

The luck manipulation increased the baby’s survivability while decreasing the others’ accuracy to the lowest point.

It’s no wonder the baby wasn’t harmed at all when she fought over tons of people in the war!

Raphael finally tasted Ainsley’s ability first-hand, and sweat started to drip down his forehead.

This can’t do. I can’t defeat her without figuring out her luck manipulation’s weakness.

There must be a way to counter her ability!
