I had wondered if Black could had been a Will, but if he was really an immortal back then and somehow died but is back⦠perhaps he could be a split soul too.
It is between a Split Soul or a Will.
Ugh, I wish Belle could be awake, I would be able to talk with her about all we saw, but now, I must protect her and make her slowly heal herself, I cannot let her do anything rashâ¦
This girl really saved me there⦠although she was the one that ended bringing me there, she took responsibility, but almost ended dead at the end, which makes me even more regretful.
Poor Belleâ¦
Ugh, well, I have to get over itâ¦
I doubt she would want me to get sad over her situation, right? I cannot be a softie over these things, I have to endure it and just continue moving on.
Now, back to the main topicâ¦
Black.
He is the one behind this entire thingâ¦
Could he had orchestrated the entire thing trying to invade both Sects to gain power from them? Maybe I should try to talk it out with everyone too, perhaps the ghosts as well.
Maybe Winter Lotus and Jade Snake's Sect Masters?
â¦Now, I would rather not bring them, if possible, they need to protect their sects from danger, I cannot really tell them to leave everything behind and come with me, it would be way too selfish, and it wouldn't really align with me.
I would prefer them to stay in their sects so if there is any surprise attack, they can defend them correctly. Because if that's the case I will also leave my troops in both sects to defend my territory.
After all, these sects are part of my Empire now, and are mine. I won't let anyone go ravage them and kill all the people there to steal their souls or whateverâ¦
But now that this bastard of Black knows about me, he'll most likely begin a plan or something, fully expecting me to show up in the future.
Because of this I cannot really take it easy and wait days after days, I should act rather quickâ¦
But without Belle backing me upâ¦
I looked at Belle with a pitiful expressionâ¦
No, I cannot really force her, I have to leave her here resting, alongside my Benladann.
I cannot let both off them get hurt.
I need to make a meeting quickly, assemble everyone who's important in my Castleâ¦
Benladann⦠Should I include her?
Well, she just woke up, and was looking at me with a sleepy expression.
"Drake? Good morning!" she said.
"G-Good morningâ¦" I said with a faint smile.
I was really tired, and a bit surprised of what happened⦠My mind was in another place so I couldn't be as radiant as I am usually with herâ¦
"W-What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked nervously.
"Ahh⦠No⦠A lot happened in my sleepâ¦" I sighed, while looking at Belle.
I decided to explain Benladann what happened, as she felt shocked.
"Ah⦠S-So that happened⦠Poor Belle, is she okay?" she asked.
"Yes, she's doing fine, I have used some slimes to constantly heal her while she rests⦠This is the most I can do for now." I sighed.
"I see, that's fine for now, sweetie, don't overpressure yourself over it⦠She'll be fine, she's a strong girl after all, she was made by the Venerable of dreams, right?" asked Benladann.
"You're right, she's pretty strong herself, I know I can count on herâ¦" I said.
"Now⦠What happened just now⦠This⦠so he's the one behind it? this bastard of Greenwoodâ¦" sighed Benladann.
"He seems to be a resourceful son of a bitch⦠I think he has spread his forces across the entire world⦠Probably his machinations extend to many things at once, perhaps so many we cannot even guess them allâ¦" I sighed.
"True⦠That battle you had against Black⦠I suppose you were able to win but the bastard ended detonating the entire thing⦠What a cheater, couldn't he accept his defeat?" sighed Benladann.
"Of course he won't, you know how Greenwood is, he is a cunning bastard, everything goes for him⦠Well, I am also going to become a cunning bastard and everything will go for me too, with these people you simply have to turn into them to defeat themâ¦" I sighed.
"Yeah, we'll use all the cheap tricks we can!" said Benladann.
"Well, not you." I said.
"Eh?" she asked.
"Benladann you're pregnant and soon to give birth, I won't let you go towards the Dark Shadow Sect raidâ¦" I said.
"Ohh⦠Eeeeh?! But I am strong! Sweetie, I can use Chaos Magic and Mold Magic! I don't even need to get closer to kill them off! You've seen my Chaos Magic before, right? Its crazy strong!" said Benladann.
"Yeah, I know, but that doesn't make you less pregnant, for the security of the baby, stay⦠Think of the baby, okay?" I asked.
"Sigh⦠I guess you're right, I shouldn't be so rash⦠But Miranda can go, right?" asked Benladann.
"Yeah, she can come⦠Do you have a plan or something?" I asked.
"Hehehe⦠Maybe⦠Recently we just unlocked some powers now, and I can do something similar to what she can do with me⦠I can share my powers with her if I go to sleep, and insert my mind into her own body, two minds into her body! How do you think about it?" she asked.
"Oh, I see! I guess you can come in such a way, but even then, don't let your soul get hurtâ¦" I said.
"Don't worry about it, it's only my mind⦠And Miranda had grown stronger with meâ¦" said Benladann.
Benladann was doing her best to convince me, so I couldn't really go against her at this point, and I ended nodding to her decision, at the very least she won't jump into danger herself but rather indirectlyâ¦.
