Chapter 23: A Dive 2
Sonia immediately ran towards Marco and helped him to his bed. After setting him down she saw that slowly on his chest a black mark began to appear. As Gaia sat at the corner reflecting on her life choices leading to annoying and precarious situations for her Sonia did her best to help. "Sonia, what happened? Diya asked semi-panicked she had never known Sonia to freak out like she just did.
Seeing as she panicked to the extent that she even forgot to end the call. Diya decided to wait until Sonia calmed down before she would try assessing the situation. Sonia just stripped Marco down to his boxers wanting to find any more abnormalities with him. She was quite shocked when she saw that all over his body dark patches slowly began to cover him.
Gaia saw that Sonia was freaking out and decided to help a little. Her thoughts were to improve her position, she at least didn't want to get threatened non-stop for any little thing she did. Having her life hanging by a thread was not fun, she wanted peace for goodness' sake. When she saw Marco's state her face paled, immediately she pulled Sonia back and invoked her powers to shield both Sonia and herself with a thick wall of vines empowered with her divinity.
She narrowed her eyes when her instincts still screamed at her that she was still in mortal danger. She conjured multiple layers of protection and hugged Sonia with her own back towards Marco. Sonia was shocked stiff by the sudden flow of events, but she didn't have much time to think as Gaia whispered "Crap". The moment she cursed she felt the life force of everything slowly moving towards Marco.
Gaia and Sonia peeked at Marco and saw that the black patches on his body were spreading. As darkness covered his body budges started coming out all over his body. The most affected areas were the black patches. Teeth and inky darkness, were all Gaia and Sonia could focus on, they were witnessing something completely alien. Diya growing impatient activated a hidden function on her phone, the phone glowed with a bright white light as a hologram appeared.
Diya was extremely pleased when she finally found out what was happening. Not even in her wildest imagination did she even consider anything near what she was witnessing. The three at the moment witnessed the mouths slowly eating and chewing on the souls of the deceased. The blood was stretching out and consuming the life force being stolen from the surroundings.
Luckily the life force stolen was something negligible but the souls being consumed are eternally dammed. Gaia seeing the results from Marco's change just sighed and lowered her defences. She swears that Marco would either kill her or give her a heart attack. Even though she lowered her defences she still didn't let Sonia get too close to the thing before them.
As the trio were observing the situation, Marco woke up in the familiar location again. As he heard a hello from behind him, he knew that the situation was not simple and that he would have many headaches ahead. He was right but the amount of trouble he stumbled upon was more than he was expecting. They could be considered issues with insane aftermath and potential future problems. "Welp crap" was the only thing Marco could respond with.
