Chapter 254 - White Flash Vs Death (2/2)

”I'll stay like this for a little longer...” John muttered as he kept both hands on the floor behind him

After that, John laid down in the middle of the ice field which he had created, before staring at the blue sky, as he tried to take in everything that had happened.

”Man... I really wish there was some coffee in this world... When was the last time I had coffee?”

As he continued to stare the sky, he noticed that his eyes were slowly starting to tear up.

”Damn it... What you crying now for?” John asked as he wiped his eyes

He slowly turned his body to face the sides, before letting out a sigh

”I wonder how everyone in the other world is doing...? God, if there is a god... Well I was given a 2nd chance at life, so there probably is. Eitherway, God, what is my purpose for being here? Why was I brought to this world?”

John waited for a reply and got nothing, just like how he had expected.

”Am I... Am I at least doing the right thing...?” John asked

Once again, there was no reply. Seeing this, John let out a snort before turning back to the sky.

”Pfft, what's wrong with me... Haha... Ha...”

John's eyes slowly began to shut as he found the cold ground rather comfortable.

”I should get going soo-”

Before John could finish, his eyes suddenly shut, as he fell unconscious.

-----------------------------------

John opened his eyes, only to find himself in the middle of a half dark, half white room. John easily recognised it as he had been there many times before.

”I like the new room, everything dark before was very intimidating.” Said John with a smile as he turned to look behind him

There stood the evil spirit version of himself, he stood on the border of the dark part of the room with an unamused expression.

John felt so satisfied with that expression that he couldn't help but smile.

”How?” The spirit asked

”How what? Dear, King.” Said John as he gave a half-hearted bow

Seeing this, the spirits eyes widened as he stared straight at John. John stared back with an unmoving expression.

”Tsk, I'm not in the mood for this.” Said the spirit

”Oh, I didn't know the dead had moods. You must be very busy, just like I was when your entire cult tried killing me, and even kidnapped Serena.”

”She brought that on-”

”Remember what I told you? You don't scare me, I know your secret, well not much of a secret, more of a weakness. I'm your current vessel, if I die, you die. You failed to possess me, so you'll have to keep trying for as long as I live.”

”I wouldn't look down on me if I were you.” Said the spirit as a grin appeared on his face

”Here's the thing...”

John slowly walked towards the spirit before facing him as he stood on the white border.

”If any one of your cultists mess with my party again... I'll hunt them all down one by one, and don't think for a second that you're safe because you're in here.”

The right arm of the spirit who was in the form of John, ended up falling off as John cut off his own with his dagger.

John felt no pain, but it was the thought that counted.

”Hahahaha... I thought I was the crazy one, but you're the craziest vessel I've ever encountered.”

”You should know by now that we're two of the same kind, just like you are in this vessel, I also took over it. So get in line.”

”Right, right. But I'll get to the point.”

The spirit picked up his hand before glaring at John who also picked up his.

”How did you avoid death?”
