Chapter 182 Things Went Wrong!! (Part II)

"If a mortal use demonic energy without a contract with a demonic being slowly their mind and body will get corrupted."

"Like that guy Ren Hector. He had a contract with a demonic being. But he took external access to that energy and demonified. Also died at your hands."

"Wait you mean? Did he meet a demon? Demons are already on earth?" Hearing this Shin was worried. If it's true. It's too dangerous.

"No, he didn't meet a demon. He managed to sign a contract because of his ability. Which let him connect to a demonic being."

"Does that mean his contractor may attack me?" He asked.

"I'm not sure." She replied with a shrug.

Shin was a little nervous and so angry that he cursed Ren Hector, because of him, some small-time criminal, he may end up facing something disastrous.

"I gave you access to divine energy early while sharing some of my power. You are not strong enough if you want to control or make demonic energy coexist with your other energies. Do you understand?" She questioned in an almost threatening tone.

Shin nodded his head seriously. Only now did he understand how foolish he was. With his recklessness, he may have lost his mind just then.

Seeing him nod, the adult Alice also calmed down. She could understand he couldn't be blamed for it. It was unintentional. But because of his recklessness, he could have died and she didn't want to lose him.

"Anyway, it's good that you are safe." She said and then muttered in a low voice. "Good job my other self."

Shin was confused but he knew there was no point asking because she can't break that authority or something. So he won't get any answer. That's why he didn't ask about Absolute rules. So he asked something else.

"Alice, if I increase my divine energy to a high level. Will I be able to control demonic energy?" This was something he was concerned about. If he can't control demonic energy soon. Then his plans may need to be altered. Because in some of his important plans for the future, he needed to use demonic energy.

"Well yes and no. You can't fully control it in a short term but you can restrain its side effects. If the divine energy is at a high level. It's difficult for demonic energy to corrupt the individual's mind."

"Be careful with demonic energy though It's not just corruption of mind at some point you may even become a demon or a mindless monster. You are free to try if you want to." She warned him seriously.

Shin shivered at that thought. There's no way he wants to become a monster. Suddenly another question came to his mind.

"Why didn't my blessing come into effect?" Shouldn't his blessing [Instant Recovery (SS)] stop him from demonifying?

"It attacked your spirit this time. Not your body." She explained.

"Ah, I see."

"It seems the time is almost up. Also, comfort her. She is too worried." She said.

Shin nodded and decided to ask one more question.

"By the way, How did we connect so early? Didn't you say it will be a long while before we can meet again?"

For some reason, she blushed and replied.

"The connection became a little strong because of those things you were doing."

"What things?" Shin asked in confusion. She blushed even more and ignored his question while continuing.

"But it's still difficult to bring you here. This time I had to bring you here so that your spirit doesn't get corrupted. Now go." Saying that she waved her hand and didn't let him speak.

Soon Shin felt himself being pulled by some force. His consciousness went dark while he was still in thought.

'Could she be talking about sex? Does having sex with Alice, somehow related to her connection with me?' Shin was flabbergasted and decided to not think about this matter. If it's true he will get to know the answer in the future anyway. It's not like they will stop doing it. So maybe the connection will only get stronger from here on.

Soon his vision became clear as he found himself looking at an unfamiliar ceiling. "Where am I?"

"SHIN!!" Alice shouted and hugged him while crying.

"Hey, I'm fine okay." Shin patted her back to calm her down.

"*Sniff, Sniff*, I'm sorry. If only... If only I was faster, nothing would have happened." She said while crying. Shin knew she was talking about absorbing his demonic energy. She must have felt guilty.

"Don't worry it's not your fault. I was too reckless. Now stop crying. Don't ruin your beautiful face." He said in a teasing tone.

Alice sniffed and nodded her head.

Shin also felt guilty now. If only he thought things through clearly beforehand this would have never happened.

"I'm sorry for worrying you," Shin said while kissing her forehead.

***

Sometime later Alice let him rest and made a call at home to talk with Reina. Shin tried listening in on their conversation but they were just gossiping about some topics to which he would rather not listen.

Shin was silent as many thoughts flashed in his mind.

"Status board." He uttered
