Chapter 183 - Keeping the Trump card

Sunday frowned. 

Shino's jaw dropped. It did not make sense to him because he could not come around Sunday would need to depend on Agbara in the air when he was releasing such heavy amounts since they had raced here. It did not make sense but then he could not deny the fact that the Sage really was genius. 

Sunday had the same thoughts in his head too. He found this to be somewhat tiring to think about. Why would he need the thin Agbara in the air when he had Bane in him?

'Don't you get it you fool?' Bane chided now. 'In Orun, everything is perfect so you don't have to worry about breathing in Agbara. But here, on Earth, it is the reverse. SO, you cannot continue burning off huge amounts of energy in your sage mode if you dont want to be short of breath. The Agbara you expend is different from the Agbara you inhale which is important for your body. If your expending of Agbara surpasses the intake of the thin Agbara, you might be in a fix.' Bane said to Sunday, eductaing him on what Aderonke was saying earlier. 

"Tch!" He hissed, holding his left bicep with his right hand, with his face turned down to the ground. 

To think that he would have this amount of power and yet because of some stupid thing be unable to tap into the full potential of it. It truly was frustrating. And he could not fine words to describe just how he felt about that now.

However, the Sage, Aderonke was far from being done with him yet. 

She opened her mouth to continued speaking, her eyes containing worry as she look at the trembling, slightly, frame of Sunday. 

"I hope you are okay, Sunday." Aderonke said. 

She stood where she stood, her hands crossed on her c.h.e.s.t as she observed the from of the Irunmole, Unsure of what to do in this instance. She was really limited and if this was in the case of a human, she would know what next to do. But that was not the case in this instance. 

That was very far from it. 

Just then, her eyes flashed and she g.r.o.a.n.e.d out, faintly. She put her hand to the left temple as a pain racked through the left section of her head. There and then, she remembered that this person was the same person that she had seen in the vision she had not too long ago. 

But then again, that was not only it. In the vision, she had seen that he was able to get in touch with some other entity. What the entity was, she did not know but right about now, standing before him, she could sense the huge pool of energy that he had inside of him. The deal that had endeared the Irunmole to the entity was what was the cause of the massive power in Sunday right about now. 

She was referring to Bane but since she did not know the name and even had issues remembering that the entity here was no more than the Prickled Bane Winged Wolf. 

She heaved now as she thought about it still. Whatever that entity was it had given to the Irunmole this massive power but then the fact that he would not be able to use due to the thin Agbara in the air somewhat saddened her even as much as it made her envious. 

She was envious of the fact that he had such a large pool of energy, so potent, she could literally feel its worth from the outside. 

"I know this might be frustrating but I have to ask you this question. Please oblige me.!" Aderonke shivered as she now clasped her hands before her face. 

She had the same power that the Irunmole had but she did not need to be told that she was going to hit her limits if she did surpass her boundary in relation to the Irunmole. She had to be careful, the level of power that they both had, was not something that could be contrasted in anyway. 

Sunday looked at her now, exhaling at the words that she spoke to him. first he was feeling some pain in his body, randomly but now that she spoken about that, he now had an idea of what was happening to him. 

Frankly, he thought that this was a result of the fact that eh had not had the chance to really rest yet. It had being one thing to another thing in quick succession. 

He was sure that if he did rest or even if he was about to get his hands on the cleansing orb, that is, after he was able to heal Iyanu, he would not hesitate to us it on himself after then. 

Until then, he could not just take her words for it. To think that he would have to be cautious of his power in a place where the demons did not give a hoot about what condition a Irunmole was in before launching out to attack. He needed every edge he could get. To tell him not to do that was to sign him up for death. 

And even though he did not want to readily rely on Bane, he knew that there was not much for him to do as at now. He just had to make do with it. 

"I had a vision about you before you came around, Irunmole Sunday. That was what he called you so I just copied after him." Aderonke said, beckoning to Shino who stood beside her now, with the edge of her thumb, the one on the right hand. 

She was some inches lower than Shino and even more when compared to Sunday who was just about 6ft in height.

"I am sure, Sunday, that you have another entity with you. And I know it is inside of you. So, what does.." 

Aderonke gulped as she caught on the death stare that Sunday shot at her. She rubbed her hands together nervously at the back of her as she cast a quick glance to Shino as if expecting him to come to rescue here. The stare was too cold, and even Shino felt it. 

On Sunday's part, he did not really care about that. What was on his mind was how troublesome this Sage o a girl was becoming. In a short time, she had been able to detect that the belt which Shino had was but a spatial belt. Something even he had not being able to detect. And now, now, she had used that expertise in her sensory ability to find out that he had another soul within him. 

That had to be what she meant. The entity which she referred to was no one else but Bane. But then again, having her find this out was so annoying. He scowled even more as he realized that like this, the trump card with which he had hoped to use Bane had gone to waste now. 

But then again, he had thought fast. If he did stop her from spilling it out, then he could still use Bane as a trump card later on. He just had to act all tough till she could shut up and not inform Shino about it.

However while he thought about this, Aderonke was making up her mind to keep talking. 

She exhaled one more time and then sighed out. 'Look, I get it. You have a large pool of energy in the insides of you but you cannot continue to pull from it. Like what happened now, it might not be noticeable because you have the large source of energy but eventually, you would see that you would not be able to keep up with the intake of Agbara and then your..."

"Large pool of Agbara?" Shino said now. He had bee silent for awhile, looking to Aderonke. "Why do you say that like it some kind of living thing or something Yes, I get that energy is not exactly dead but what,..." 

"Oh!" Aderonke sighed and then looked at him, turning just a little to face him. "Yes, the energy source within him  is not exactly his own. It is more of..."

"SHUT UPPPPPPP!" Sunday roared out, his face contorted in pure undiluted rage. 

He growled, holding his fists to the sides of him. His body sparkled and fizzled, smoke and yellow outlines of flames spurting out randomly from various parts of his body as he glared at the duo.

"S-sunday..." Shino stammered, shocked at the outburst from his new Irunmole friend. 

"Just shut up. Shut up, the both of you!" Sunday flared out, raising his hands and jerking them down to the sides with force. 

Just then, a shadow drifted across the ground in sync with the cloud that covered the surface of the moon, blocking out some of its light from touching the spot where the three were. 

It stays there for a while but then it passes over, leaving the three of them standing still. Sunday still furious and angered, while Shino and Aderonke stare on in surprise.
