Chapter 160: A huge wall

Desire was just roaming around in this place, his Spiritual World as some sort of transparent looking fire thingy.

Of course, Desire didn't know that this place was his Spiritual World.

After all, it's not like he had any knowledge regarding this. He also didn't have any experience so it was just impossible for him to notice that this was his Spiritual World, let alone telling that this is a Spiritual World.

Anyway, when Desire was roaming around in here, there was something that came to his mind.

'Is this the effect of that whatever the old man was supposed to do to me?'

Right, he thought that this was just an effect of whatever Aimon planned to do to him.

Desire knew that it already began. After all, even though he passed out, he still felt the pain.

That was why Desire knew that things...were still going well.

After all, Desire was alive and he had his own consciousness.

Well, Desire didn't know where this was so he wasn't sure about it going well.

Anyway, Desire was sure that this was a side effect of what Aimon did to him.

After all, this was the first time that he has been to this place, and it was perfectly timed as well.

It would be too much to just call it a coincidence when there were clearly circumstances that led Desire to this...place.

However, if this were a side effect, then...what was it for?

'Do I have to do something in this place or what?' Desire thought as his body stopped moving in the air.

He just floated in there as he didn't will for his body to move.

Although it seems like Desire has only been here for a short time, that was actually not the case.

He has been wandering around here now for hours, and that was why Desire was sure.

There was nothing in this place that could give him clues about where it was, what he was supposed to do, or something like that.

And that was also why Desire was asking himself this question; am I supposed to do anything?

Although it has been hours now, Desire...couldn't feel any sensation that could possibly return him back to his body.

He didn't feel any headaches nor did he feel any extreme gravity that pulls him back to the body.

That was why...it was kind of an instinctual reaction for Desire to think that he has to do something in here before going back to his body.

No, he has to do something in here so that he could go back to his body.

At least, for Desire, that was how it felt like being in here and roaming around for hours.

However, this place...literally had nothing.

In fact, this place was so full of darkness that Desire didn't even know where he was going.

He didn't know if he was rising up to the sky or was he going down a hole.

He didn't know if he was moving back and forth!

Of course, this would have been a...dramatic situation for any other person, but not for Desire.

Desire still had his Heavenly Demon Trait, and even if he was now in a different body, that was still there.

Besides, at this point, his trait is slowly becoming his personality. Desire didn't have to make his trait to do some jack shit for him just to keep calm in these situations.

He was too used to it! 

That was why Desire didn't really have any mental stress about this whole situation.

If there was anything wrong about him, that would be Desire was weirdly feeling that he's near to his destination.

Right, Desire felt like that he was near to his destination or to whatever place he's supposed to go to.

Desire has been feeling that ever since he woke up in here, and that was why he was roaming around to find it.

Of course, the result was obvious. He didn't get to that place.

However, Desire was still feeling it.

'This is so weird...am I having a dream or something?' Desire thought as he tried to rationalize his thoughts.

After all, it would be more reasonable to think that this was all a dream.

Of course, that was not the case as Desire felt like he has spent a lot of time in here. Desire wouldn't be aware of time if he was in a dream.

It was then that Desire thought of doing something in here. Since Desire...could just technically 'float' his body, there was nothing he could do with that.

However, what Desire thought of was...whether he could use magic or mana in this situation.

Although Desire didn't know if it was safe for him to use mana or something like that, Desire would still use it.

After all, it's not like things would go bad if he were to just use some.

And that was why Desire quickly went for it as he tried to remember the feeling of using mana.

He remembered his physical body, which his mana circuits and veins were located.

He remembered the feeling of having the mana move in his body, and Desire...could feel it move!

Right, Desire could feel his mana move, but things quickly went the wrong way as Desire felt that he lose control over his mana.

Desire became surprised, as that was just absurd, but that was not all that happened.

Desire felt his mana...escaping his body and pouring outside of this place!

Right, it was going right outside of this place, and that was why Desire followed his mana's direction with his eyes.

Well, it's not like he had eyes in his body right now.

Anyway, Desire then saw the place...lit up. Right, the place lit up with fires to Desire's left and right.

The fires were aligned with each other, and they were continuing for as long as Desire could see.

Desire then could see how big this place was, but it was actually just small.

If Desire had to describe it, it would have to be...

'It's like a cave or something.' Desire thought as he looked at the fires on his sides.

It seems like the fires were attached to the wall, but Desire could see no wall.

'Hmmm...is this what my mana did? Strange.'

Desire thought that it was just strange for his mana to do something like this.

After all, it's not like he could do something like this or what. He didn't have any knowledge about building something like that, and that was why it was strange.

If Desire had prior knowledge about how to do something like this, it would be more understandable to label it as his 'instincts.'

However, Desire didn't know shit about this. That was why it was strange for Desire.

Well, it's not like there was something that Desire could do about this.

He can't do shit, and it was obvious that something else was at work here.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have lost control of his mana.

That was why Desire had a thought.

'I guess I'll have to follow the fires. It's pretty obvious.'

Right, Desire thought that he had to follow the fires to get out of here.

Of course, the same feeling of being near his destination was still there right inside his emotions.

It was weird, but well. Desire can't just complain about everything when he was literally in uncharted territory.

That was why Desire just decided to get this over with and started to float his body.

He moved his body towards the direction that the fires were pointing at, and his...transparent fire looking thingy moved in the air as it did its will.

It was quite weird seeing the fires burning at the sides of this place, and in the middle of the fires was another fire.

Of course, Desire just looked like a fire right now, but he wasn't a fire.

Anyway, when Desire decided to just follow the fires, it didn't take him long to find the end of it.

After all, there was nothing else to do in this place, and there was no other direction to go to, anyways.

That was why it wasn't that hard, and it didn't take quite a long time.

And what Desire was seeing right now was something Desire...didn't expect to see in this place.

After all, what he saw was...a wall.

Right, it was a wall. However, the wall was so high that it didn't even look like it had an end!

What's more, the fires that were burning at the sides were also stationed at the huge wall right in front of Desire.

They went up the wall as if they were ignoring the wall's height, and that was it.

It was so strange to see that the sky was also burning or something like that.

Of course, Desire couldn't see the end of the light that came from the fires, and the end of the wall.

It was truly gigantic and humongous that Desire felt like he was staring at the world itself.

And what Desire had to say about that was...

'Hmm...this...feels weird.'
