Inside his mental space, the book materialised directly, as if it were breaking the very void.
"You vile demon, daring to take my master's body..." The book's blinding light brightened the entire mental space of William, even more so than the golden text.
Ahhh!
Pain resounded from the shadows of the golden text; however, no form was present, only the reflection of a man crying in pain because of the bright light.
"This is cleansing light, a tier six spell."
"You vile demon, today I will kill you for even daring to enter my master's mental space." The book brightened even more, emitting a terrifying, blinding light.
"Wait... wait... you will regret this if this goes on."
"I am not listening to a vile demon." The book's voice turned cold as it applied even more of its strength.
"These..." The reflection of the human-like figure inside the golden text was stunned but appeared more mocking than anything.
"I was also like you previously, hahahaha."
"What do you mean?" The book was stunned when it heard this.
"I mean exactly what I meant." The voice was cold with a tinge of mockery in its tone.
Suddenly, the instinct of the book went wild as it felt an ominous feeling. "What is this?" It took back its light, roaming around the place.
However, it was too late.
Shing!
As if someone had sheathed a sword, the sound came as the golden text brightened with a bright golden light.
Unlike the book, which emits light with a holy attribute, this was pure light without any mixture of the elements.
Boom!
As the light fell on the book, instantly all its abilities were stopped, and it became completely still, as if it cramped all over: it couldn't even move now.
Thud!
The book fell into the transparent liquid.
The golden text gradually returned back to its original shine.
"Kukuku, I warned you already."
But there was a twist: the book shined with a blinding light again, slowly floating in mid-air.
"I will let my big sister take over now."
"This..."
"It's pointless, girl. I have tried already to escape and use my abilities for centuries, but it hasn't worked till now. Otherwise, you won't be standing here."
The book trembled at these words.
"Sigh," a resigned sigh escaped its pages as the book looked around.
"What do we do now then?"
"I thought I was your main enemy..."
"You were and always will be, but I can't kill you right now. Besides, I don't have many grudges with you—only my big sister has a grudge against you," a teen's voice came from the book, as if it were shrugging casually.
The being was stunned when it heard the book's response.
"How interesting." a smirk appeared on the primordial demon's face.
"But don't trust me too much; my big sister can control the book anytime she wants as well..." the book huffed with anger.
"Do you think I will trust anyone?" a sneer formed as the rotation of celestial bodies around the black hole seemed to get faster the more mood swings the primordial demon experienced.
"Nah."
"Then why are you asking me?"
"Because I want to, you idiot." the book humphed in anger. "After all, I am the cutest girl in the world."
"Oh really, hahahah." the being laughed with mockery.
"Anyway, getting to the point, do we have any escape methods to get out of here?" the book seemed to wink at him.
"No." The simple reply caused the book's energy to diminish as it returned to a deflated state, filled with disappointment.
"Then what do we do around here?"
"Wait."
"That's all?"
"Yes."
"You really are a boring demon, humph." The book stayed silent, as if it went to sleep. The blinding light also shut down with it.
Just like that, a demon with a whole galaxy inside of him and a book were both chained up inside the golden text as they went silent.
The golden text started to vibrate as it sent another beam of light passing through the mental space and healed the consciousness of William.
William violently opened his blue eyes as he was jolted awake, looking around at his surroundings.
"What happened?" his azure blue pupils dilated with shock.
