278 Inner Spiritual Realm (1/2)

”Am I dead?”

He relaxed his mind and cycled energy through his body.

Breathe in, breathe out.

So what was I doing before this?

Right.

I was fighting Yetu. That piece of sh”t. He jumped from the ceiling and did something to me. I don't know if he was fast or I was just slow, but he appeared right in front of me, then...

Am I really dead?

He gasped and got scared of the thought.

Due to fear, his survival instincts rampaged for a second. He started channeling, reinforcing, and gathering energy in his surrounding. At one point, he felt the shackles that bounded his body disappear.

His eyes that could only see darkness finally saw light and his surroundings started to brighten. He looked around and to his surprise, found himself inside a familiar place; his inner self.

The void was still peaceful and the orb of life still shines brightly. The rune skills continued circling around the orb harmoniously on equal distances. However, he noticed something worrying about the orb.

The usual small speck of black orb was slowly getting bigger while taking more space from the white orb. It was as if the black orb was getting nourished by leeching off the white orb.

If there was one thing Jun knows off, it was that the white orb is something inside him. If he let the black orb continue devouring the white orb, something bad would surely happen to him.

Although he knew what to do. he doesn't know how to do it...

In the first place, he was the white orb and just spirited out, so he could move around and get a different perspective.

Should he go back to the white orb from where he came from?

”I didn't expect that you'll break free from those shackles. This body is so weak that it could barely store a portion of my energy.”

Jun was startled and looked around the area. There was nothing except for the white orb, the black orb that was enveloping a quarter of the white orb, and the rune skills he learned, circling the white orb.

While struggling to search for the voice, he noticed a familiar in front of him. To be precise, the black orb slowly consuming the white orb.

”Yetu?”

”It took some time to recognize me? I thought you hate me to the bone. Hahaha!”

There were no movements, no influx of energy or aura. Jun could just hear the voice coming from the black orb in front of him.

”How did you get in here?” Jun asked in confusion.

As far as he knows, this void space was his inner self. How could other people enter this place?

Even though Yetu had no face, Jun could see the expression he was probably making. A condescending face, mocking him for going against the flow. He thinks that for disobeying and questioning him, it justifies giving a proper punishment.

It was like when parents punish their children when they did something wrong.

Jun laughed. ”You can't kill me, isn't that right? At least directly, that is. If you want to kill me, you have to use indirect methods like possessing something or by doing that. By the way, if you don't, would you like to explain what you're doing?” he asked, then followed with sarcasm. ”I'm sure you don't mind since you're someone really strong.”

Yetu scoffed and shook his head. However, he currently doesn't have a head, so Jun couldn't see it. ”Humans have really progressed in terms of slyness, however, they're still petty tricks that can only fool those who are foolish. But since this is taking too much time, let me entertain your stupidity.”

”This place is your spiritual realm. A place where your spirit resides, together with your soul. Your spirit is weak that's why this place is easy to invade, your soul is weak that's why it's getting devoured. No matter what you do, you can't change anything. You're destined to die here!” Yetu said.

”Is that all? I figured up to that much already, but I appreciate your confirmation.” Jun breathed deeply, then smiled. ”That makes everything convenient then.”

Jun looked around and found two small cracks in the void above him. If he takes a guess as to what they were, they should be the two fangs that sunk into his neck when the vampire leader bit him.

”This is my spiritual realm, right? So I should be able to do this much.”

While raising his hand and pointing at the cracks in the void, he channeled energy on his hands wanting to repair the holes.
