Chapter 140: Inner

"I understand that you do no have enough trust in me as I am practically new."

"But that does not matter. A servant is a servant. And you...are also a servant of Lucifer."

"And a servant who does not do his duties is not a servant."

Oumu said those words.

And what he said is the truth. If a servant cannot even do the expected tasks, then he is no longer a servant.

The reason why Oumu worded it that way...is to make sure that the Blood Guardian would get fired up about this whole situation.

After all, if Oumu was correct, then...the Blood Guardian takes pride in being a servant of Lucifer.

Well, everyone would take great pride if they were indeed a servant of Lucifer.

After all, that's a God. And being a servant of a God...is a position that many would envy.

However, in the Blood Guardian's case, it is more extreme.

Oumu was hoping to stir that emotion in the Blood Guardian's case.

After all, Oumu knew that the Blood Guardian would want to do his tasks as successfully as possible.

He wants to be able to make himself useful in the name of his lord.

And it seems that that was the truth as the Blood Guardian spoke.

"Alright...I'll do as you say." The Blood Guardian said with a deep voice.

It was as if he was holding something down. And that was the truth.

The Blood Guardian was holding himself back down.

Why? The reason is actually quite simple.

The Blood Guardian was angry at himself. He was very angry at himself.

He was angry because...he knew that Oumu was just trying to influence his decisions, which means that he was trying to manipulate him.

And this is something that the Blood Guardian would never take a liking to.

However...the Blood Guardian cannot do anything in this situation.

It is because it is for the purpose of saving his master's life. When Oumu worded it that way, the deal was sealed for the Blood Guardian.

And it was because the situation is like this that it made the Blood Guardian feel as if he...was useless.

He was a special being. A being made by the soul of the Hell God, Lucifer, and one of his Demon Authorities as a Hell God.

And now, he is being outwitted by some random demon out there in the woods.

This fact is irritating the Blood Guardian and it was frustrating for him as well.

However, there is nothing that he could do in this situation.

The story that Oumu gave checks out what the Blood Guardian knows about Lucifer's body.

There was no lie in Oumu's words, and that is why the Blood Guardian does not know if Oumu is lying or if he was saying the truth.

After all, from what the Blood Guardian knows, Oumu is not lying!

That is why the Blood Guardian is holding himself as much as possible so that he wouldn't ruin things.

Now that he already agreed to do this, there's no turning back and it would be better if the Blood Guardian got to it as soon as possible.

There would be no absolute way that it would be better for the Blood Guardian to stay for a long amount of time in Lucifer's body.

That was why...the Blood Guardian sat down on the floor without any problems.

It seems that the Blood Guardian can move Lucifer's body normally.

Well, he could definitely use Lucifer's body normally, but he cannot just do it while using his powers or Lucifer's powers for that matter.

"Alright. I will give it a try now." The Blood Guardian said those words.

And as soon as the Blood Guardian said those words, he closed his eyes and Lucifer's body naturally positioned itself into a meditation position.

Lucifer looked like a very old meditator who is meditating on some random mountain.

Anyway, when the Blood Guardian said that he will be giving it a try, he literally closed his outer consciousness, and just went deep into his inner consciousness.

This is because the Blood Guardian knew that if there were any solutions to his problem, the problem of being able to control his healing, it would be located...at the very core of his being; his soul.

The Blood Guardian is made by Lucifer's soul, so his soul is as special as Lucifer's.

And the Blood Guardian is aware of this, which is why he even tried to look at the very core of his being.

And now, the Blood Guardian is in a very dark place.

As the Blood Guardian didn't really have a body of his own as he just takes over Lucifer's body to appear, the Blood Guardian...was just existing with his thoughts and consciousness.

It was pretty amazing how he was able to do this.

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..."
