Chapter 55 - Darkness and Light (2/2)

He was wondering whether she will stop talking or not.

”What is it that you can't believe?”

”The fact that they can use Light Profound Energy,” Jasmin replied on reflexes, but then she remembered that the sound was quite different from Yun Che.

Yun Che also got startled; looking back, he saw a man covered with dirt and moss. His hair was messy all over. For a moment, Yun Che thought that he was a beggar but soon find some similarities and remembered certain someone.

”Brother!” Jasmine seeing him, exclaimed in surprise.

”I don't mind having a cute sister. For sure, you can call me brother.” Wang Lei said, not bother least by what she called him.

A red shade crept on Jasmine's face as she remembered what she just said, ”H-Humph! Why would this princess call you my brother?”

Wang Lei smilingly replied, ”I never said that I want to be 'your' brother, though.”

Her face becomes even redder in shame.

Yun Che, seeing the flirty atmosphere between them, frowned. He was not romantically involved with her, but he still felt left out. She was his master; he, for some reason, didn't like it when they flirt.

”Can you tell us why you are here?” Yun Che asked, slightly annoyed. ”At least clean yourself; you look like a beggar,”

Jasmine also looked towards him, waiting for his answer as she also wanted to know.

Pointing his finger towards the Dead Land, Wang Lei said, ”For the same reason you are.”

”Do you know what it is?” Yun Che asked.

Jasmine didn't say anything as she had a rough guess. Though that guess made her horrified but without her body, she can't do anything about it.

Wang Lei made a thinking face as he gazed at the big Wall of Light, ”Isn't the Darkness?”

Before Yun Che could reply, Jasmine said in slightly high pitch, ”You know it?!”

”What is it?” Yun Che asked since he was the only one left with no knowledge.

Jasmine thought for a second before answering, ”Darkness, we don't know what it is since it is fundamentally different from Dark Profound Energy that devils use. But one theory states that it is a form of evil energy whose source is one's heart.”

”One's heart?” Yun Che mumbled to himself. He thought he understood it, but at the same time, he didn't.

Wang Lei smiled since he knew more about it, but he didn't bother correcting her since her theory was not far from the truth.

”You have seen the Darkness, right?” He said.

Jasmine and Yun Che nodded.

Wang Lei raised his hand. They saw with horrified eyes as Darkness pours out of his body.

”You...!” Jasmine couldn't find the right word to say. What is the meaning of this? Is he a devil? Or a person from the Darkness side?

Wang Lei looked at the Darkness and said, ”Darkness and Light are the opposite sides of the same coin,” He raised his other hand from which Light Elemental Energy comes out, but one could tell that it was purer than the one they - Girls - used, ”If there is Light, there is Darkness and vice versa - none can live alone.”

Jasmine and Yun Che looks towards him in confusion. But Jasmine's confusion was not from what he said, but the fact that he could use both Darkness and Light at the same time, which should be impossible as both of them are opposite elements.

”Well, that's all for today's lessons. Stay tuned for more.” Wang Lei joked but got no reaction from them since there was a thing now called the 'world barrier'.

Sighing, he shook his head, ”I will be going then.”
