Chapter 378 You have my permission

Nesis looked at the human in front of him, pausing for a moment to think. He blinked as if trying to come up with the right answer to the human's question.

"I think it's because of the hole in your heart. Once it's completely healed, you will be able to leave this space."

"Huh?"

Kyle blinked, feeling a little confused and unsure of what the latter meant.

"A hole?"

Then it hit him. Right, the crystal was inside his heart, and when it sprang out, he sustained a dangerous injury.

"But it's just an injury, shouldn't it have healed with the amount of healing potions I consumed? And, the essence, it should have healed me, right?"

Nesis wriggled out of Kyle's grip, feeling the tightness on his shoulder. The man rubbed his shoulder, even though it wasn't his true body, he still felt the pain.

"You're right, it should have, but that soul-eating crystal was a sinister artifact. The dark energy it left behind messed up the healing process in the injured part of your heart. Those potions, they stopped the bleeding and healed the outer injury. But, they couldn't heal the injury deep inside your heart. And your bloodline, it was focused on healing your soul, the most important part of you."

Kyle's expression turned solemn as he scanned the man from head to toe.

"So, how can I leave this place? Don't tell me I have to wait for my heart to naturally heal. Or should I try guiding the essence to cure my injury?"

Nesis's eyebrow twitched, and he quickly stopped the human before he did something irreversible.

Nesis complied with a blank expression. Well, his fate was already sealed when he laid his eyes on this human, so what more could hurt him?

He would be happy that he could somehow save his life, just this time. He promised himself he would never even dare to follow someone so casually again.

The horned man signed the contract with trembling fingers. It was an unfair contract that he had only made others sign before. Who could have thought that one day he would experience the same thing he had put others through?

Kyle didn't even bother to glance at him. After reading the contract with narrow eyes one last time, he signed it and sealed the deal. He stared at Nesis and took a deep breath.

"Go, you have my permission to leave the mind space."

However, before the man's face could light up and he could run away, Kyle stopped him with a deadpan expression. The human paced around him before stopping right in front of his face.

"I need to make sure you didn't take anything from my mind space. You know, there's a lot of valuable stuff in here."

Nesis blinked, watching Kyle's eyes scrutinize his robe. He couldn't believe this pesky human was accusing him of stealing when all he did was run to escape those blue flames. He would be lying if he said he was not tempted to steal a few treasures under the human's nose.

But darn, this mind space is so vast that if he really did start looking around for the treasures, the flames would have killed him even before he found a single one.

Kyle smiled when he didn't sense anything precious with the man. He nodded and motioned for Nesis to get lost and do his job. After all, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

The horned man wiped his eyes, which had become wet for some unknown reason, and quickly disappeared from the mind space.

Kyle kept an eye on his surroundings and sat down with crossed legs, impatiently waiting for the man to do his job.
