Several hours later, everyone gathered in the main chamber of the Zehell family residence mansion. Flynn has been removed from Zehell's astral dimension and was now lying unconscious on the bed.
Niken and Aqua stood side by side at Flynn's feet while Kazuto and Zehell and Lionel stood on either side of Flynn's bed.
Niken and Aqua have explained their plan to save Flynn by erasing memories of the invasion and deleting the memory that Flynn has eaten the human soul.
Aqua will also convince and tell Niken firmly not to turn around the time of the daemon's life and only manipulate Flynn's memory.
Niken complied and promised not to use the power of her time. It's just that, even though they managed to manipulate all the causes of Flynn to become a demon, they still don't know whether Flynn could still survive his death.
Currently, Flynn's entire body has been badly injured. His energy flow is unstable, making his heart and blood flow poisoned.
Even if Flynn's mind and soul were pure again, his physical body would still be the same. Would Flynn survive?
Niken quickly got rid of the negative thoughts from her mind. She must be optimistic and confident that Flynn would be all right.
Niken's eyes seemed to glow, filled with determination to make a particular wolf wonderstruck. Niken looked twice as beautiful if the girl had decided something.
It's just that, Kazuto couldn't help but worry if Niken forced herself to save the daemon.
The word 'daemon' still feels distaste in his mouth. However, Kazuto respected Niken for regarding this daemon as her friend. That's why he lets Niken use her powers to save Flynn, as long as it doesn't harm Niken. Aqua herself convinced them that their plan would not endanger Niken.
It's just that, Kazuto hoped that Niken would not push herself by spending all of her cultivation energy just to save someone who was already dying.
Somehow Kazuto felt that Niken would definitely do something unexpected if there was a mishap in this plan.
"Niken, promise me you won't push yourself. Once you feel tired and it's not possible to see into his memories, you should come back immediately. Please, don't overexert yourself."
Niken could feel her lover's worries through the grasp of the man who held her hand tightly. She could also see the man's black eyes filled with a million love for her.
She knew she was the man's love of life because that man also held the same position in her. If Kazuto wasn't in this world, her heart would weaken, and desire to end her life. She was sure that Kazuto would also think the same if she left this world.
Because of this, Niken is determined to return in good shape. She didn't want to see her lover worried or down in the dumps. She also didn't want to make Kazuto languish and just end his life.
Isn't this the first time Niken has initiate kissing him first?
Kazuto grinned from ear to ear as all the worry and anxiety he felt just vanished in a second.
The lovebirds were still immersed in their own world until someone interrupted them by calling Niken.
"Are you ready?"
"En," Niken nodded confidently.
Then, Kazuto walked a little further while Aqua and Niken concentrated on breaking into Flynn's astral dimension.
The two of them turned into two small orbs of light in the next second and then flew towards Flynn's forehead and went inside. Not long after, Niken arrived at a dimension with gray color dominated this place.
Meanwhile, Aqua changed her form into cute serpentine and leaned with her body wrapped around Niken's neck.
"There is nothing here." opined Niken at how abandoned this place is.
"Maybe because the daemon no longer has feelings. At least this place hasn't turned black yet, so there's still a chance to get Flynn back to how he was before."
Niken nodded in agreement, then walked deeper to find nothing.
After walking for a few minutes, Niken finally saw something… some… ah, no. There were so many windows floating in midair.
There were also various windows. Some were dark, some were bright.
"What is that?" Niken asked Aqua because this was the first time she had seen the window of memories.
The deeper Niken walked, the more kinds of windows she encountered.
"Looks like these are memory windows. We have to find a window that causes Flynn to hate Elementalists."
"How do we know the right window?"
Aqua shook her head in resignation. "I wouldn't know. But you will."
"What?"
"You are the phantasm lord. Use your instincts to find the right window. Be careful not to open windows that have good memories. We came here to juggle the bad memories, not the good ones."
Niken sighed heavily as she answered, "Okay."
Niken decided to stop walking and glanced at the surrounding windows.
Judging from the various colors, is it possible that a bright color indicates a good memory window? That means she just needs to search for the dark-colored memory window, right?
It's just… why are there so many dark memory windows here? In fact, it seems that these dark windows had much more than the bright ones.
Some were gray, dark brown, and some were even dark black. Only a few yellow or light brown ones could be seen. They were even could be counted on the fingers. On the contrary, there were so many dark ones that they dominated the bright colors.
How did Niken find the right window? She couldn't possibly open the dark memories one by one, right?
What should she do? Niken couldn't help but panic at her situation.
"Niken, don't panic. If you panic, you will be affected by the conditions here and get trapped in it. Take a deep breath and then exhale slowly."
Niken followed Aqua's advice and took her most prolonged breath of the day and then exhaled slowly.
As soon as she felt Niken had become calmer, Aqua continued her instruction. "Now, close your eyes and follow your instincts as a phantasm lord."
Niken closed her eyes, according to Aqua's instructions. Not long after, Niken heard a voice.
