Chapter 140: Inner (2/2)

But well, it was not really that surprising considering that he is a special creature.

And now, in this very dark place where the Blood Guardian is currently located, the Blood Guardian is allowing his instincts to take over.

If there were anything that would help the Blood Guardian to find his very core, it would be his instincts.

That was why...he let his instincts take over his consciousness, and the results were...given right away.

Why? It was because the Blood Guardian can now 'see' something with his non-existent eyes in this place.

And this something was...a very bright light at the end of a tunnel.

It seems that the Blood Guardian is inside of a dark tunnel.

And when the Blood Guardian saw the very bright light at the end of the tunnel, he had a thought.

'Ah. That must be the answer to this situation...' The Blood Guardian thought.

And he really believed that what he thought was the truth.

After all, the light...truly did look like hope.

That is why the Blood Guardian...with just his consciousness floated down the tunnel to reach his destination, the very dark bright light at the end of the tunnel.

As the Blood Guardian was just consciousness and didn't really have a body, it didn't take him a long amount of time to go there.

This is because it wasn't really that long and he just needed to think to go there.

How is that possible? It is because this place is...the inner consciousness of the Blood Guardian.

If one thinks of it that way, then it's very reasonable that the Blood Guardian's consciousness was able to reach its destination very fast.

However...when the Blood Guardian's consciousness was able to reach its destination, he was...shocked.

He was shocked beyond his core.

Why? It was because...the one who was waiting for him at the end of the tunnel...was his lord, Lucifer.

'My master!' The Blood Guardian thought as he tried to kneel down, only to realize that he cannot really do that as he did not have a body of his own right now.

And because of this, the Blood Guardian was...just standing around while looking at Lucifer.

No, the Blood Guardian tried to look down as he didn't want to look at Lucifer eye-to-eye.

That would be impudent of him.

However, since this place is the Blood Guardian's inner consciousness, he cannot really do something about this.

And it seems that was the truth...as Lucifer who was staying in this place spoke.

”It's useless, Blood Guardian. This place is you. The more you think about it, the more it would appear right in front of your eyes.”

”Still, I didn't think that I would meet you here. What happened?” Lucifer said...as he looked down on the Blood Guardian.

And that was...pretty impossible.

It was impossible for someone else to look down on the Blood Guardian in his own space.

That was just impossible.

If it were anyone who should be looking down on someone, it should be the Blood Guardian.

However, it was...pretty reasonable how Lucifer is able to look down on the Blood Guardian even at this place.

After all, the Blood Guardian...is made with Lucifer's soul.

Anyway, when the Blood Guardian was asked, he quickly spoke.

”A-ah....there are some problems going on, and I have to fix your body as fast as possible. It seems that my healing ability is not working, so I came here, hoping to find an answer.”

”My master...do you perhaps not have any recollection of what just happened?” The Blood Guardian asked Lucifer.

And Lucifer...just spoke right away.

”I do not have any recollection of what happened. Well, the reason is that I am here.”

”I may be Lucifer, the one who made you, but at the same time, I am not Lucifer.”

”I am the fragment of Lucifer's soul, which was made to create you...Your soul and I have mixed together to create what is now known as the ”Blood Guardian.”

”The reason why you can see me...hmmm... it is because Lucifer has predicted that something like this would happen, and he wanted to help you in this dire situation.”

Lucifer...no, the other half of the Blood Guardian's soul said those words without any hesitation.

”M-master predicted that something like this would happen?” The Blood Guardian shakingly asked.

He thought how terrifying Lucifer must be to be able to predict the Blood Guardian's inability to heal his body!

It was as if Lucifer was looking at the future!

”That's right. And now, I shall guide you to the answer that you seek...”
