Chapter 116: Who the hell is he?!

"What the?" Lionel said as he was confused in this situation.

He didn't know what was happening, and he didn't know why he was getting this feeling.

After all, nothing really changed.

And that was why it was weird. Lionel's senses are enhanced and are something one can't just fool like that.

That was why Lionel knew that something was indeed happening, but Lionel couldn't figure it out.

Although he was familiar with this feeling, he couldn't understand it.

That was also why he was confused about this situation.

"Is Desire doing something...?"

As Desire is the only one in here, Lionel knew that it was connected to Desire.

And when his thoughts went that way, his eyes immediately widened.

Although he was shocked, a part of his lips went up.

And with that confused face, Lionel murmured.

"N-no way..." Lionel said.

However, even though Lionel was forming theories in his head, he wasn't sure about it.

That was why he watched Desire intently.

And it was then that he was able to see a glimpse of movement from Desire!

No, Desire didn't actually move, but his muscles and skin were moving!

They moved slowly but surely. Their movement wasn't too big, but one could see the rift in Desire's skin.

What's more, it was just a tiny portion of Desire's muscle, but Lionel could pick that up thanks to his eyes.

And when he saw that, Lionel immediately widened his eyes.

Why? It was because this was a sign that one reached the state of death.

"F-fucking bastard..." Lionel said as he watched Desire's body move.

What the body is currently doing in this state is that it is refreshing itself.

As Desire was awake, his body is also 'awake.' And by being awake, the body returns to its best possible condition. In other words, it maximizes the body's potential.

The benefit of doing this is actually for when the training actually starts.

After all, the body is already in its best possible condition. And since the body has been refreshed, it would be able to pick things up more accurately.

And since Desire is also not awake at this state, Desire's body is also not 'awake.'

Although it may seem crazy or whatnot, it was actually reasonable.

The brain may be the part that controls the body, but without the consciousness of Desire, the body is just an empty vessel.

Of course, even the all wonderful brain of his.

And that was why this stage of Refreshing, Death, is only possible when Desire is not awake.

If Desire is awake in this whole situation, he will mess things up in the whole process.

Although it may seem little or not that special, it would actually be fatal if Desire messes something up.

Why? It is because the body would then have to go all over again.

What's more, Desire would even have to 'wake up.' Although Desire did it easily, achieving the Death state is not easy.

Desire may even receive the backlash of failing this.

It is incredibly hard, and even Desire knows that. That was why it is fatal for Desire to be awake and not awake at the same time.

In other words, the death state of the Refreshing Technique is to let your body take control of everything and make it be conditioned by how the body 'thinks' it should be conditioned.

The awake part helps the body 'notice things and take action,' and the not awake part helps the body 'focus on things and on the action.'

And Lionel knew that this is hard to do and maintain. Lionel himself didn't even know how to explain this.

After all, he just knew that this state was death because it was like death.

When Lionel was doing this, he was awake, but he was not awake.

He was thinking, but also not thinking. That was why it was hard to describe this feeling.

And Lionel knew his explanation was just plain bullshit!

And yet, Desire was able to do it. Even though the effects, right now, are small and Desire's body was just moving by a tiny bit, it was amazing.

The fact that Desire was able to do it the first time, nonetheless, is amazing.

And because of that, Lionel murmured with unbelieving eyes.

"This guy...is a monster."

Even if you take the first time out of context and just say that Desire was able to do it without any knowledge or teachings, Lionel would still call Desire a monster.

It is just that absurd for Lionel to know that his disciple was able to do it without his help!

"This kind of talent...who the hell is he?!" Lionel said as his lips curved completely upwards.

After all, Desire's talent was even greater than he ever thought!

Desire's talent was even surpassing Lionel's as he was able to do this without any help in just the first day!

Lionel had to train a whole full six months just to enter that state!

Desire's talents were no longer talents as it is in the realm of impossible!

It is in the realm of unbelievable, imagination, or a dream beyond a dream!

It was to the point that Lionel had to ask this.

"What the hell is his origins...?"

Lionel wanted to know where Desire came from. Lionel knew that Desire most likely had some monster blood in him.

However, even Lionel knew no monster race that could possibly create a monster such as Desire!

Even his daughter, who was able to grow so fast and so strong, could not be compared with Desire.

That was why Lionel wanted to know who Desire's parents are. What are their origins, and what race are they from?

A human race would never be able to produce a talent such as Desire.

There's just no way, and that was why Lionel knew that it was the monster blood side.

"What kind of race is it..." Lionel was forced to wonder.

Lionel was forced to wonder as his student was a wonder by himself.
