Chapter 150: Heart Curse!

When the decision to curse Aimon has been made, Anino quickly got to work.

As his powers were already ready to use, Anino used them immediately.

Well, it was just his powers attached to Aimon's right hand and two fingers.

However, what Anino did to use his powers was...a little bit extreme!

After all, he made Aimon stab himself right in the heart with his own two fingers!

However, there was something even Anino didn't expect, and something that...made Anino unable to curse Aimon.

"What the?" Anino said with Aimon's mouth as he looked down.

It was then that he noticed that Aimon's body was just like a ghost or the mist.

Aimon's body wasn't...physical or something that could be considered solid right now.

That was why Anino's powers didn't activate when Aimon stabbed himself in the heart.

After all, Aimon didn't stab himself in the heart as his body...the mist just made way.

'Whew.' Aimon thought as he breathed a sigh of relief in his mind.

Well, everyone would be relieved if they knew that they just escaped a cruel fate.

However, it seems that reality was really disappointing as Anino spoke as he removed Aimon's hands out from the mist.

"Hmm, interesting. This fallen demon reminds me of someone." 

And right after speaking those words, Anino made his powers roam around!

As Anino was the Lord of Shadows, it was the shadows...no, it was darkness itself that was roaming around!

It roamed around, but that was not all the darkness did.

The darkness actually grabbed Aimon's mist body and made them stay together.

However, that was not enough as the mist was still the mist. That was why Anino made his powers infect Aimon's misty body.

And as soon as it did, Aimon's misty body...returned back to normal. Well, it wasn't actually normal as he was still transparent.

But that was just how living beings actually looked like in this Spiritual World.

Even Beast's body was transparent.

Anyway, when Aimon's body returned back to normal, Anino quickly made Aimon stab himself in the heart with his powers embedded in his fingers.

After all, he didn't want to miss this chance, and he didn't want Aimon's body to return back to the mist.

What's more, Anino was actually pushing himself when he made Aimon's body return back to normal.

After all, Aimon's body was still Aimon's body. Even if Anino was controlling Aimon's body, that doesn't mean he could control Aimon's powers.

Well, if Anino was in his prime and was healthy, Anino could probably do just that.

It was then that Anino shouted out loud as he felt the darkness in Aimon's hands come into contact with Aimon's heart!

"Heart Curse!" 

As soon as Anino shouted those words, the darkness in Aimon's hands quickly moved as it stabbed Aimon's heart!

However, that was not all the darkness did as Aimon's heart quickly turned black!

Right, it was covered by Anino's powers of darkness. What's more, the darkness...was spreading all over Aimon's body!

The heart as the center, the darkness quickly spread out towards the organs, bones, muscles, and even on Aimon's skin!

And it didn't even take more than a second until Aimon's entire body was covered in darkness!

Aimon's body was completely covered by Anino's powers!

However, that darkness on Aimon's body only lasted for a second as Aimon's body...returned back to normal.

Right, there was nothing that happened, but no one panicked.

It was then that Anino could feel it. He could feel Aimon's heart beating so loudly that it resounded out in this place.

Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!

Aimon's heart was beating so loudly that even Aimon couldn't believe it!

Well, everything that happened was so unbelievable that Aimon was still calm now. It seems that nothing would shock him anymore.

Of course, it's not like he isn't worried for his safety or something like that.

He was worried, but there was nothing he could do in his situation.

Beast was stronger than him, and Aimon knew that he would die if they fought.

And Beast...was treating Anino as someone equal to him or even a partner to him.

There's just no way Aimon would be able to escape from Anino's grasp.

It was then that Aimon could feel his mouth move once more without his permission.

"I will now set up the conditions for the Heart Curse to activate."

Anino then made Aimon's hands move as the darkness...once more covered Aimon's hands.

This time, it was not just his right hand, but also his left hand.

And with the darkness covering them, Aimon's hands moved...to his chest.

Aimon's hands looked like they were covering his heart, and it was then that Anino spoke once more.

"First Condition: if you speak with, about, and to Him."

"Second Condition: if you are near Him."

"Third Condition: if you speak about my, Beast's, and His' existence."

And while Anino was setting those conditions, Aimon's heart...was not beating.

It was weird if you think about how loud it was before, but it seems that was just temporary.

After all, the beating once more resounded out in this place after Anino finished saying all those words.

Ba-dum! Bad-um! Ba-dum! Ba-dum!

Of course, Anino was not done just with that, and that was proven as he spoke once more.

"Heart Curse: Three Cons!"

And it was then that the darkness in Aimon's hands covering his heart...disappeared.

Right, the darkness disappeared as Anino was finally done with the curse setting.

However, if you look at Aimon's heart closely, one could see...the darkness that was embedded in that beating heart.

Of course, even Aimon could feel that darkness that was choking him.

Well, there was just nothing Aimon could do right now.

It was then that Beast finally spoke. It seems that he was quite patient, despite how he acted with Aimon.

"Hmm...it's good to know that a fallen demon won't be able to speak to him."

He said as he nodded his head as if he were really satisfied with this result.

Of course, Anino was also satisfied with this, but it's not like the job was done.

After all, Anino had to make Aimon do whatever he planned to do in here.

If Aimon didn't do that, the curse and everything would have gone to waste, and Anino didn't want that.

That was why he spoke. He spoke to Aimon who was just listening with his mind.

"Hey, you pathetic excuse for a demon, you understand what's going on, right? You don't have to think about anything else; I will return the control over your right hand to you. If you agree to do what you planned to do here, raise your middle finger. Of course, if you don't...you know what would happen."

Anino said with quite a heavy tone. Anino's voice was so heavy that it didn't even seem like he was using Aimon's mouth to speak.

Of course, Anino did exactly just what he said - he returned back the control over Aimon's right hand to Aimon.

And Aimon could feel that he could move his right hand right now.

'W-what do I do?' Aimon thought.

However, maybe because he was pressured or maybe because he now knew that Desire is Him, Aimon moved...instinctively.

He raised his middle finger as if it were natural, but that was not the strange thing.

Even though it was by his instincts, Aimon...didn't reject it or something like that.

He agreed with it. And that was...ridiculous. After all, it's not instincts anymore if you agree with the action.

Well, it was weird and all, but Aimon didn't have the time to think about that.

After all, he basically gave in to Anino's demands, and that was clearly seen by Anino and Beast.

"Good. I will return the control over your body back to you, and we'll be watching you. If you do something funny, don't even think about going out alive. You understand that, you dogshit?"

"Ah, raise your middle finger once more if you understand."

Of curse, when Aimon heard that, he raised his middle finger once more.

It was once again by his instincts, but well. His thoughts and emotions also agreed with that decision.

However, it seems that he didn't have time for that as Aimon felt his body once more.

He felt he could move his body, and what's more, he felt that...he had control over it now.

And that means that Anino wasn't controlling him anymore.

However, it's not like he could rejoice. After all, the beast guy was right beside him giving him the death stare!

Well, it looked funny to Aimon as the beast guy looked so similar to Lionel.

'Hah. This took too much time...I was only supposed to do the Divine Sharpness of the Ghost Needles, but why did things end up like this?'

Aimon was seriously worn out by what just happened and what he just learned.

That was why Aimon was considering taking a time off to think about things.

Well, that would only come true after he finishes this.

That was why Aimon looked in front - he looked at Desire's incarnation, who was sleeping in a bed.

'Is it...really Him?'
