Capítulo 29: CHAPTER 28 - SHED OFF THIS BODY

At night Lucian lay quietly on his bed. His young brain was filled with so many thoughts. Who were the people after his mother? And why were they after his mother? Was it to kill her?? Or was it to just send her back home? But judging from how his mother spoke, the people were after her to harm her. No matter what, he didn't want to lose his mother. He would rather die than let anything happen to her, but what could he do?

'You could just shed off this body of yours and fuse with me'

A voice suddenly rang from the bottom of his heart lake. The voice sounded exactly like his, and he immediately knew what it was... He had heard it before. It was his beast! He spoke again??...

'You...you can speak?'

Lucian asked and sat up hurriedly on his bed.

'Of course...back then that fiend in your head, placed a suppression spell on me so I could not talk to you. However, he's forgetting that as you grow, whatever is in you will keep growing stronger as well. The suppression spell is easy to crack, the only problem is this chain lock around me and this body cage...'

The voice spoke sounding frustrated,

'Body cage? A chain lock?? What are you talking about...'

Lucian asked confused. Also, he was not hearing Raphael speak. Where was he...

'What I mean is if you shed off this body, we can create a new one. We'll become the most powerful to protect anyone we want. Don't you remember what you did to that farmer, that was just a little scrape of our power taking control due to your anger, imagine us being one..." This time, a hint of anticipation and excitement could be detected in his voice.

' Why do I need to shed off my body, aren't you just my ....'

'Lucian! Do not listen to him...' Raphael's voice was finally heard. He sounded like he had been struggling. He was glad he recovered on time, else that devil would have spilled the truth of what he is in Lucian.

A few minutes ago due to Lucian having uneasy thoughts, his devil soul used that loophole and overshadowed him suppressing his spirit and taking the chance to manipulate Lucian. There was one thing he didn't understand though...this was Lucian's soul alright, but it seem to have its thoughts and knows quite a lot... Raphael was starting to get worried. Just now he had to use half of his life force to suppress it again, leaving him with just a half-life. He had no idea how long even that could suppress him... But if his soul managed to take control someday, will Lucian remain Lucian? Or will he become the devil for real...

'Raphael, are you ok? Tell me what is going on... He just spoke to me...and he said so many things I don't understand. What does shedding off my body mean??' Lucian asked sounding confused.

'I told you not to listen to him...nothing he says is true...'

Raphael lied through his teeth. Shedding off his body?? That meant killing this body. His devil soul had tried so many times to fuse with this body so it could unlock those chains on him. But every time he tried, he couldn't last in it and he ended up weaker than before. That was why he wanted Lucian to get rid of this body that is of gods...

'But how can I not listen to him when he speaks, I can't help it...' Lucian complained.

'Yes as long as you don't confuse yourself with worry and negative thoughts, he won't speak to you. He only wants to confuse you and take over. You don't want to end up being the one hurting the people you care about, do you??' Raphael asked using Lucian's weak point.

'No...I don't want that to happen... Am sorry. I would not think so much again...' Lucian said, causing Raphael to heave a sigh...

Lucian and Nate showed up early the next morning in the woods. It was around 5 am exactly. They had run up here hoping to arrive before Arthur and luckily Arthur had not arrived. To prevent being idle, they decided to spar with each other. They still had the blindfold Arthur gave them, so they placed it on to train their senses more.

"Nate can you keep up with the fold on?? I won't go easy on you..." Lucian said with a smirk.

"haha... Little god, don't overestimate yourself. Am not that weak and I won't go easy on you either" Nate responded while taking a fighting stance with his wooden sword in his right hand. Lucian did the same, and they began to spar. This time it was better. Lucian could manipulate his senses to detect the surroundings better and so could Nate. He didn't know what happened in the woods, but whatever it was, he was grateful for it since he could now use his senses extraordinarily.

They could both counterattack each other well, though Nate struggled a little due to Lucian's abnormal strength, he wasn't backing down and was faring quite well. The fight had no coordination, style, or skill but it looked good. One could see the will to persevere in each other's thrust, and it was enough to make it worthy of watching.

A little close to the duo, beside a tree was Arthur who was watching the kids intently. The fight had no skill whatsoever but he was still surprised watching it. Was it possible to improve just after one day?? The boys seemed to manipulate their senses so well. With the blindfold on, they fought like they had a third eye on their foreheads.

And their determination and friendship could move hearts, it caused him to miss a certain someone... After watching them for a while, he realized Lucian moved very fast, and would do much better with a dagger. Nate was better with the sword.

He walked up to them with a clap that caused the boys to stop fighting. Lucian already knew he had arrived and was probably watching them. Though Arthur hid his aura, that couldn't stop him from sensing his presence... He just pretended he hadn't known he was there... It was better not to reveal too much of himself.

"Don't take off the fold! You're going to be doing everything else here in it..." Arthur ordered seeing Nate was about to take off his...

Nate groaned but kept it intact...
