Chapter 144: Two Things

Right after being sucked right inside Desire, Aimon was able to get a hold of himself.

He was able to calm down even though something weird and out of this world happened to him.

After all, his body...moved by itself as if it were being controlled by some entity.

And that was weird. After all, there's just no way to do something like that as Aimon was a living being.

One cannot control a living being while it had its own consciousness. What's more, Aimon was just that powerful.

That was why it was even weirder for Aimon's case as it was something that shouldn't happen.

One could probably control a dead person or something that does not have a consciousness. If that was what had happened, Aimon would probably understand it.

However, for him to be the one who was being controlled...that was just pure insanity.

Of course, Aimon calmed himself first and foremost before doing any thinking.

After all, right now, Aimon was in uncharted territory. 

Even though he was already experienced with the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles, as Aimon had used it one time before, this situation was still a different thing.

Aimon had used the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles on his disciple before, but Desire was a different person.

As Aimon was basically the first person who was able to make a technique that could make a person wield all three styles, he was like a pioneer.

And since he was the pioneer, the unknown dangers and threats were still there.

Aimon might be trapped in Desire's Spiritual World or something like that.

Aimon might end up killing Desire as the Spiritual World is something connected to a person's soul.

After all, it was spiritual. One must be incredibly dumb to not understand that.

Either way, there was only one thing that was confirmed, and that was Aimon didn't know everything there is to know about the Spiritual World or the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles.

Although he knows how to use it, that doesn't mean that he has already done everything and knows everything about it.

There were more factors to take in before Aimon could proudly say that he knows everything to know about the technique and the process.

After all, Aimon would also have to know about every human or monster's Spiritual World or something like that.

However, the reason why Aimon was confident enough to make any human or even monsters be able to wield all three styles, as long as they have not started the Way and is still a child, was only because of one reason.

That was because Aimon was sure of the key points in his acupuncture technique.

After all, he has already done it one time, and he was able to succeed.

Right, Aimon's disciple was able to wield all three styles just with the key points that Aimon has formed.

Just that fact sure boosted Aimon's confidence, and he was also sure that everything would be the same with another person.

Well, in this case, things didn't exactly go his way. However, the fact that he was in here now, in Desire's Spiritual World, means that Aimon would be able to continue with his job.

'That's right. Nothing really changed much. I can think about things later when I'm done with this, and both the kid and I are safe.' Aimon thought as he shook his head.

It was not the time to think about things, and it was not the time to think about why he got...controlled all of a sudden.

After all, the more time he spends in Desire's Spiritual World, the more dangerous it is for the both of them.

And when Aimon decided to do just that, he finally began to look around in this place.

Incidentally, Aimon's body was...like a mist. He looked like he was a blur, and it would be more accurate to say that he was a ghost right now.

In other words, he didn't have his physical form or something like that.

It was weird if you think about how he was just sucked in, but that was how things worked in the Spiritual World.

That was why Aimon wasn't really shocked about his body being like this right now.

"Hmm...it isn't much different from any other Spiritual World I've seen before." Aimon said as he started to float around.

Of course, he wasn't just floating around as he had a destination in mind.

Anyway, although Aimon didn't know everything about the Spiritual World of a person, he still saw many of them.

He saw hundreds, thousands of different people's Spiritual Worlds, and that was why Aimon knew the general image of one.

And from what Aimon has seen before, Desire's Spiritual World was not that different from the norm.

After all, it was just black and that was it. It didn't even look like a Spiritual World at all.

In fact, it looked like a place where a monster hides, and it felt creepy and hollow.

And what was weird was that...this type of Spiritual World was normal.

That was why Aimon didn't really freak out when he saw nothing at all with his left eye.

Although he initially suspected that something was wrong again, he soon shook his head at that thought.

After all, Aimon could see his body. That means that it was just that dark in this place that Aimon couldn't see in here, and that means that things were perfectly fine as of the moment.

That was just how things worked in a person's Spiritual World.

"Now, there are only two things I have to do to finish this task." Aimon said as he resolved himself.

There were two things that Aimon would have to do in order to make Desire be able to wield all three styles.

The first one would be to find the Spiritual Vein in the Spiritual World and do the acupuncture technique there.

Although Aimon technically could just do the acupuncture in the Spiritual Vein in the...physical world, it wouldn't really work.

Aimon needs to reform things from the inside, which is the Spiritual World.

Besides, the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles would be able to do its best work when it is done on the Spiritual World's Spiritual Vein.

The second would be to mess with Desire's Core and his mana.

Aimon would just need to do the same thing with Desire's Core as he did with his Spiritual Vein. He would perform the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles on it.

Of course, Aimon would have to find those two things in the Spiritual World and gather them first before doing it.

Well, in most cases, the Spiritual Vein and the Core were together. They were together 'inside' of Desire in this Spiritual World.

Right, Desire has something like an incarnation right inside his Spiritual World, and that was why Aimon knew that it would be easy finding those two.

After all, Aimon would just need to find Desire's incarnation in this place and he would be able to find those two things automatically.

It was then that Aimon raised both of his hands up to see if the 10 golden needles were still there.

As the 10 golden needles were composed of such a special metal, the golden needles had special qualities and powers that would be able to protect Desire and Aimon.

What's more, the 10 golden needles were Aimon's main weapon. And they had the name of the Divine.

Incidentally, that was where Aimon got the name for the technique.

Anyway, when Aimon checked if they were still in his hands, he was able to find out that they were indeed still there.

It seems that nothing really changed much except for the fact that he got controlled or his body did things on his own during the earlier stage.

'Hmmm...I just have to be wary.' Aimon thought as he whipped his head back in front.

He whipped his head back to the dark and spooky place which is the insides of Desire's Spiritual World.

And it was then that Aimon floated down as he made way to find Desire's incarnation in this place.

Of course, Aimon knew that the incarnation of a person stays at the same place in the Spiritual World, no matter who the person is.

That was why Aimon was flying so smoothly right now as if he knew everything about this place.

It seems like he didn't even worry about something going wrong as his speed was fast too.

What's more, Aimon wasn't even using his right eye right now. He was just using his naked eye to see.

He probably wanted to limit his use of the Eye of Truth so that he wouldn't receive too much of its backlash, but that was a bold move.

After all, he had to use it before when things were just getting started.

And it wouldn't be long till Aimon would be able to find Desire's incarnation in this Spiritual World and be done with his task.

However, maybe because Aimon was too focused on finding Desire in here, he couldn't...notice it.

Aimon didn't notice a pair of slit eyes that were staring straight at him from afar!

The slit eyes were so sharp that it looked like it was giving the death stare to Aimon!

"Grrrrr..." A growl lowly resounded out in this place as something woke up.

That something then stood up as it whipped his head towards the wandering Aimon.

And the one that woke up...was a mighty lion.
