Chapter 137: Anomaly III

"I don't know. His skin...drastically changed. He wasn't like this before. Something must have gone wrong while he was in there."

Lionel said as he looked at Desire very carefully. 

What Lionel said was the truth. When he first left Desire, he knew that his skin wasn't like this.

Of course, Lionel was able to know that because he was the one who threw Desire inside the Blessings of Tear.

Desire was just lying down on the ground with his eyes closed, and that was why Aimon bent down his knees as he touched Desire.

"Hmmm." Aimon murmured as he closed his left eye.

He was trying to feel Desire better so that he would know what was going on.

Of course, Lionel let him do that as he knew that Aimon would do better than him.

After all, Aimon had experience in being a physician. In fact, the reason why he was able to create the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles was that he was a physician.

That was why Lionel knew better than to interrupt Aimon from doing his things.

And it was only after a few seconds the Aimon spoke as he touched his chin.

"This disciple of yours...he's one hell of a monster, that's for sure."

And when Lionel heard that, he couldn't help but smile. After all, Lionel had the same conclusion just a day ago.

The fact that Aimon said that means that it was the truth.

However, Aimon's words didn't stop there.

"I understand his situation now."

Aimon said as he opened his life eye before proceeding to stand up. He then continued as he looked at Lionel.

No, before continuing, he pointed first at the Blessings of Tear.

"You pulled him out too fast. It seems like his foundation building is not finished, yet."

"As long as you get him back in there, he should return back to normal."

Aimon just said was the things that he noticed while he was checking Desire out.

What Aimon said was the truth. After all, it usually takes a day for one to complete a foundation.

However, because of what happened with the Blessings of Tear, Lionel pulled him out...while Desire was still completing his foundation.

It was a rash move.

Well, no one could blame Lionel for it. After all, that was the first time something like that happened.

That was why Lionel wanted to know why that happened. He was about to ask Aimon, but Aimon spoke first.

"I don't know either. The only thing I'm sure is that he isn't done yet."

Aimon said as he shook his head. It seems that even his knowledge was lacking for this topic.

"Hah." Lionel sighed.

He then walked towards Desire and reached out towards Desire's nape. And while he was carrying Desire, Lionel asked Aimon.

"So, I just have to toss him back in?"

And when Aimon heard what Lionel said, he nodded his head. He was sure that he was right. After all, it was pretty clear that Desire wasn't done.

"Alright." Lionel said as he bent his knees.

He then pulled the arm holding Desire back, and then he tossed him back in with just his arm strength!

Pew!

The sound of the air being cut resounded out, and just right after that, the sound of the water being cut resounded out as well.

Splash!

Desire went right back inside the Blessings of Tear with the 'help' of Lionel.

"So, we just have to wait, huh." Lionel murmured as he looked at the waterfall.

The waterfall that was somehow, and weirdly...distorting?

This scene was so shocking that Lionel had his eyes wide open.

"Hey, Aimon. Are you seeing...what I am seeing?" Lionel said as he rubbed his eyes.

Aimon, too, was watching the waterfall with his left eye. And when he heard Lionel's voice, he spoke.

"Y-yeah...we live in the same world. Anyways, is the Blessings of Tear...being absorbed?"

Aimon said as he couldn't believe what he was seeing right now. After all, it was just...absurd!

It was in the realm of impossible! It was in the realm of imagination!

Why? It was because the Blessings of Tear was distorting and turning!

It wasn't falling anymore like how a waterfall should, but instead, it was going back up!

It was going back up like a wave, and it certainly defies the natural order of the world.

Of course, that was not all! There was something more...outrageous than that, and that was...

"T-the Blessings of Tear is being absorbed...by that kid?" Aimon murmured as he started shaking.

After all, the Blessings of Tear...was going right inside Desire!

Of course, that was the natural process, but...the Blessings of Tear were going back for him!

It was as if it were trying to enter every single part of Desire's body!

And that is abnormal! After all, one just bathes in the Blessings of Tear to get a foundation!

The Blessings of Tear doesn't get absorbed; it was just impossible!

That was why the two of them were confused about the situation.

After all, it was clear that the Blessings of Tear were...going inside Desire's body, and it was running out!

It was as if Desire were drinking the waterfall itself!

"What in the name of heavens is happening..." Lionel murmured with wide-open eyes.

Lionel didn't know if he should go in and save his disciple or what.

After all, what if this were just a natural occurrence for Desire? What if pulling Desire out of that situation would just serve harm?

Lionel didn't know things, and that was why he was lost!

Of course, it was not only Lionel who was lost, but also Aimon, and even the guy who was watching from the shadows, Fyu!

They didn't know what to do in this situation, and they didn't know if this would be good!

However, there was something that all three, or, at least, Lionel and Aimon could agree on.

And that was...

'He's abnormal.'

Desire was abnormal.

That was the only thing they could think of as they watched the Blessings of Tear be absorbed by Desire!
