Esper Harem in the Apocalypse

Chapter 244 Domineering Aura

”I donʼt mind helping you, but I donʼt know how. What do I have to do?” Jane asked with a sincere look on her face.

”I am not sure either. I assumed you would know about it…” Rudy sighed. But after pondering for a few seconds, he had an idea.

”Listen, think of my body as a human world, and this world as… well, the vampire world. So just like how you opened a portal between two worlds, I want you to open a portal between my body and this world,” he stated.

”You make sounds so easy, but opening the portal is hard, even after meeting all the requirements. One step wrong, and the portal will collapse, or it can even lead to an unknown world. Itʼs honestly scary. And here you are asking me to open a portal between your body and this world, but we donʼt even know a single requirement,” she asserted.

”Ummm… I thought of it as connecting a device to Wi-Fi. To add the correct credentials, and you get access to it.”

Jane squinted her eyes and said, ”Donʼt use the human world terms and knowledge on me. I donʼt know what that means.”

”Hmmm,” Rudy took a deep breath and thought of another idea.

”Do you remember how I was able to see through your eyes when we shared senses? Our bodies practically became one. So what if you do something similar to that so my body can… get used to this worldʼs energy or frequency?” Rudy wondered.

”Do you even know why she canʼt come out of your body?” Jane asked with a judging look on her face.

”Because… I am in a different world?”

”Why do you think that? There could be another reason too, you know?”

”Hmm…”

”But letʼs say you are right. So what does that have anything to do with you not being able to hear her voice? That shouldnʼt require anything, right?”

”Now that you mention it, that could be the case. But that was simply my assumption since I couldnʼt think of any other reason.” After a brief pause, Rudy said, ”Alright. I have an idea.”

Rudy held Janeʼs hands in his hands and said, ”Try sharing senses again, but this time, instead of you, let me share my senses.”

”Oh, yeah. That could work!” she exclaimed and held Rudyʼs hand tightly. ”But I donʼt understand why we are sharing senses like this? You already know that sharing senses via kissing or sex is more effective,” she said with a flushed face.

”No. This is enough,” Rudy said in a neutral tone. ”I myself donʼt know the limit of my powers, and I donʼt want to risk exposing them to you. So itʼs better if we try doing it in the least effective way.”

”Fair…” Jane seemed disappointed, but she understood Rudyʼs reasoning.

”So, how do I share my senses?” Rudy asked calmly.

”Just think of it as you are emitting your powers. Like… you know how we shiver when we suddenly feel cold? Thatʼs basically our body trying to match up with the temperature. Itʼs not much for us vampires as we already have cold bodies, so you should be familiar with that,” Jane exclaimed awkwardly.

”Yeah…”

Rudy couldnʼt tell Jane that he had long forgotten that feeling. His powers made his body highly resistant to the temperature. And even in his past life, his body was nothing but a rotting shell of flesh. Although the repeated experiments highly inflated the sensitivity of his body.

ʼCalm down, Rudy. Just keep your mind clear and let your imagination do that work. You are not alone anymore. You have friends and lovers. You have a new life. You will be happy this time,ʼ Rudy reassured himself.

Rudyʼs eyes were closed as he needed to concentrate, while Jane was staring at him with a curious look on his face.

Suddenly, a black aura started emitting from Rudyʼs body slowly. It covered his body and kept increasing, forming another shape.

”...!” Jane couldnʼt help but tremble, but she had to try her best for Rudyʼs sake.

However, Jane could no longer keep her calm.

Sharing senses required both parties to have calm and open minds, but Jane was freaking out from inside.

For some reason, the aura around Rudy separated from his body and vanished into thin air the moment Rudy opened his eyes.

”Did it—” Rudy stopped after seeing the baffled look on Janeʼs face. ”What happened?”

He asked with a concerned look on her face.

”Nothing. I lost focus midway. I am sorry,” she apologized with a gloomy face.

”No, itʼs okay. I think it worked.”

”It did…?”

”I can feel some change inside me. Like… I donʼt know how to describe this, but my body feels light.”

Rudy placed his hand on his chest and calmly uttered, ”Angelica, can you hear me?”

”....”

”....”

Jane and Rudy stared at each other and waited for something to happen, but they were met with silence. They waited for about a minute, but there was no response from Angelica.

SIGH!

”It seems it didnʼt work.”

ʼItʼs my fault!ʼ Jane blamed herself. ʼI freaked out and closed my mind and senses. And I canʼt even ask him to share his senses again. I am still trembling from what I saw.ʼ

”Well, itʼs fine. I will ask Nyxia. She must know about it.”

”Yeah…” Jane smiled bitterly and said, ”Letʼs go.”

ʼI am useless! He asked one favor from me, and I couldnʼt even do that!ʼ Jane bellowed.

But what Jane didnʼt know was Rudy could hear her thoughts as their bodies were still in contact.

ʼShould I comfort her? I want to, but I donʼt want her to freak out. I will comfort her my way,ʼ Rudy decided.

Rudy and Jane got up and prepared to leave, but Rudy was having trouble moving his body.

”Hmm?” He once again tried but failed. ”Whatʼs going on?”

ʼRudy? Can you hear me?ʼ Rudy heard a familiar voice calling out to him.

”....!”
