Chapter 148: Beast...and Anino

"Prepare yourself!" The man shouted out loud as a light appeared in his hand.

He then grabbed that light, and instantly, something like a spear appeared!

It was surprising, and Aimon saw it all with shocked eyes. After all, he didn't expect that the man would react like this.

That was why Aimon's instincts reacted as fast as possible. His body naturally made its preparation to turn into a mist so that he could escape.

However, it was then that Aimon could feel it again. He could feel that his body...couldn't move!

It was the same sensation that he had before entering Desire's Spiritual World, and what's more, Aimon...could feel his hand moving once more!

Aimon wasn't controlling his body, and yet, his body was moving on its own!

Although Aimon had his guards up, he still let it happen! He still let his body be controlled by something.

It was ridiculous! It was impossible, and it was something no one would believe even if Aimon were to tell it to people!

It was then that Aimon felt his mouth move by itself once more. It was definitely weird, and Aimon could not do anything about it.

After all, it's not like he could escape from the 'grasp' of the controller.

It was the truth that Aimon couldn't control his body.

Anyway, Aimon had his hands raised up as if to signal the man to stop as he spoke.

"Wait, Beast." Aimon said as he looked at the man who was about to kill him!

Of course, it was not really Aimon who was doing that, but instead, the one who was controlling his body.

And when the man heard what Aimon said with his mouth, he...suddenly came to an abrupt halt!

His speed was so fast that his upper body looked like it would fall out of the wolf's forehead.

Of course, it didn't really matter as his lower body, the lion, was able to hold him down.

However, it was clear as day that the man's spear was about to cut down Aimon.

In fact, it was only by a hair's breadth before Aimon would be seeing some of his blood.

It was then that the man spoke as he looked at Aimon once again with...calm eyes now.

"Anino." The man said as he let go of the spear that he created.

Of course, the spear didn't really fell to the ground, but instead, it just returned back to the light, and it disappeared naturally.

And when that was all done, the man...Beast spoke as he looked at Aimon.

No, he looked at Anino, who was controlling Aimon's body.

"What's the deal? Why did you suddenly stop me?"

Beast knew that Anino was watching from the sidelines. And the fact that Anino wasn't doing anything to intervene means that Beast could do anything he wants.

That was why Beast was surprised to see that Anino got in the way when Beast wanted to kill Aimon.

Besides, Anino was the one who makes decisions around here. That was why, even though Beast was surprised, he still stopped himself when Anino said it.

It was then that Anino finally spoke with Aimon's body.

"I never said that you could kill him."

"Did you forget? We are only the shells of our past selves."

Aimon then pointed at himself, but of course, that was because Anino was controlling him.

"Even killing a weakling would be enough to end our lives here."

And what Anino said was the truth.

If Beast were to use his powers to kill Aimon, Beast...would have died and he would have disappeared in this place.

After all, it was the truth that Beast was not from this place. He was not from Desire's Spiritual World.

And by doing something so extreme such as murder or killing, Beast would have to pay the price.

And the price, of course, was his own life. After all, this wasn't his territory.

This was Desire's territory, and just the fact that they were able to come here like that shows that they were strong!

After all, they were able to establish dominance inside another person's Spiritual World!

If that doesn't tell one how strong Beast and Anino are, then one would have to be incredibly dumb!

No, one would have to be insane if they couldn't understand just from that fact.

"I know that I will die. But!"

"He compared me to Him! That is just straight-up blasphemy!"

"That is why it is only right for this fallen demon to die!"

Beast said with great passion in his eyes, and even the lion was showing the same emotions.

Well, the lion and Beast were one single living creature. That is why it wouldn't be weird for the lion to express Beast's emotions.

Of course, Anino heard what Beast just said and that was why he spoke to cause no misunderstanding between them.

It wouldn't be funny if they were to fight while being inside Desire's Spiritual World.

That would just mean disaster for all parties involved.

"I understand what you are saying. I would have done the same if I were in your place."

"However, do remember the mission we have."

Anino then made Aimon walk - he made Aimon walk towards the place where Beast was sleeping before.

In other words, he made him walk towards the place where Desire could be seen sleeping on.

Of course, that was Desire's incarnation in his Spiritual World. It wasn't the actual him.

Beast was right behind Aimon, and it seems that Beast didn't have any problems walking with the lion on his lower body.

However, Beast's lower body, the lion, soon disappeared as Beast...fully became like a human.

Of course, his distinct features as a lion were there with his mane and sharp eyes.

Well, none of them cared about that as Aimon kept speaking as the spokesperson of Anino.

"Our mission is to protect Him until He matures and grows up."

"We have been awake ever since He was born and woke up."

"And it's been some time ever since we got our consciousness back."

"And according to Raksha's predictions, He...should be able to fully mature in a year and some months after He is born."

"And a year has already passed. It would only take a few months until He matures."

"And the path would surely be thorny and harsh."

Aimon then turned his body around as he pointed his finger at Beast.

Aimon's face...Anino was showing pure anger at Beast right now, and that was because of what Beast just did!

"And now, just because of some irrelevant piece of shit came in His Spiritual World, you would die?"

"Do you know the impact of you dying on the future? On our race? and most importantly, on Him?"

"That would impact everything, and everything that we have done for the past million years would go to waste."

"Don't act so childish, Beast."

And when Beast heard that, he opened his eyes wide as the shock overcame him.

After all, Beast wasn't thinking about things like that. He only thought about things with their face value in mind.

He only thought of killing Aimon here would mean that he would just die as well.

However, he didn't think that He...Desire would be affected by his actions.

And that is something unforgivable! That was why Beast was shaken to his core.

Of course, Anino was able to see all that, and he wasn't planning to make Beast feel guilty.

That was why he spoke once more with Aimon's mouth.

"As long as you understand, it's all good."

Aimon then put away the finger that was pointing at Beast, and he also began to walk away from Desire.

Of course, Beast was just following right after Aimon as Anino was the one who decides things here.

Beast was the one who was suited for fighting, but alas. It seems that his race was not really that good at thinking, and that was why Anino was here.

If you think about it, Beast and Anino were a perfect match as Anino focuses on the brain and is quite smart.

That was why it would also be Anino who would decide about the fallen demon who invaded this place.

Well, Aimon hadn't necessarily invaded this place. And Aimon knew that now as Aimon had his consciousness as Anino and Beast talked.

That was why Aimon's brain...was in a mess right now. After all, there was a lot of information to take in just from that short conversation.

Mission, protect, mature, race, and many more...but Aimon didn't know a single thing about them at all!

And what was worse was that...Anino spoke once more, not letting Aimon's brain rest.

"I know why this fallen demon came into His Spiritual World."

"He came here to do something beneficial for Him, and that was why I allowed it."

"However, I didn't know about it, and that was also why I allowed him to roam around."

"But...I was able to find out while you guys were talking."

And when Beast heard this, his ears quickly perked up. After all, Beast was also interested in why a fallen demon would go here.

Of course, Anino could see all that, and that was why he spoke once more with quite a smile.

"This fallen demon...he plans to accelerate His growth."
