Chapter 86: Linsley Reveals His Secret To Seraphina
Seeing Linsley cooking breakfast for her, Seraphina was indeed touched since her love was reciprocated by him. However, seeing how Linsley cooked the breakfast, Seraphina was shocked.
If it was just Linsley cooking and ending up with a burnt and blackened inedible breakfast, Seraphina wouldn't mind since what mattered was that her fiancé made an effort to cook breakfast for her.
But seeing how the breakfast was being cooked, Seraphina couldn't tell whether she was hallucinating.
She watched in disbelief as the ingredients levitated, knives slicing through vegetables and meats without any visible hand guiding them.
The chopped pieces then floated over the gas stove, seemingly cooking themselves in midair. There were no pots, pans, or utensils to be seen—just food preparing itself as if by magic.
Seraphina rubbed her eyes and blinked several times, trying to make sense of the surreal scene before her.
"Linsley, what... what's going on?" she stammered, her voice filled with confusion and a hint of awe.
Linsley turned to face her, a gentle smile on his lips. "Ah, you're awake! Breakfast will be ready soon," he said casually, as if nothing was amiss.
"But... how are you doing that?" Seraphina asked, pointing at the floating ingredients and the invisible force manipulating them.
Linsley chuckled softly. "Oh, this? It's a bit complicated, but I suppose there's no point in hiding it anymore."
He waved his hand, and suddenly, shimmering outlines appeared around the utensils and ingredients, revealing faint traces of tentacle-like appendages guiding them.
Since Linsley had god-like control over his invisible force, he could also choose to remove its invisibility, which was quite pointless in combat but useful in situations such as this one.
Seraphina's eyes widened as she took a cautious step forward. "Are those... tentacles?"
"Yes," Linsley admitted. "This is part of my avatar—my true power."
"Your avatar?" Seraphina echoed, trying to process the revelation.
As Magia Fleur, Seraphina had fought against countless Outer God lackeys. She knew that the tentacles Linsley was using didn't carry the same eerie presence or corruption of the Outer God.
"But..." she began, her voice trailing off.
She couldn't bring herself to say it. Her crush on Phantom Reaper, the feelings she had buried deep, had never truly left. And now, they were colliding with the feelings she had developed for Linsley.
Sensing her hesitation, Linsley decided to prove it.
He closed his eyes for a brief moment, and with a subtle shift, activated his identity distortion.
In an instant, his appearance changed.
The air around him darkened, his clothing shifted to the familiar black coat of Phantom Reaper, and his face became shadowed, the mask of identity distortion obscuring his features yet still showing how handsome he was.
Seraphina gasped, her hands flying to her mouth. "It's really you..." she whispered, taking a step closer. She could hardly believe it.
"It's me," Linsley—now Phantom Reaper—confirmed. "The one who's been by your side all along, in more ways than one."
Seraphina felt her heart race.
The man she admired, the one she was engaged to, and the mysterious figure who saved her a few times, were all the same person.
Her mind flashed back to that day—she had left Linsley to transform into Magia Fleur, and when she was almost defeated by the Outer God's lackeys, Phantom Reaper had appeared, saving her from certain death. It all made sense now.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but in this moment, the relief was overwhelming. Her fingers brushed his face, her voice trembling with emotion.
"I... I can't believe it," she said softly. "You've been protecting me all this time."
Linsley's eyes softened, "I always will."
And in that moment, all of Seraphina's feelings—the confusion, the admiration, the affection—merged into one. Experience new stories on m v|l e'-novelhall.net
Seraphina leaned in, her lips brushing his, sealing the understanding between them.
