Chapter 183: A misunderstanding

"Where is my disciple?!" Lionel shouted once more with passion in his voice as he noticed that Desire...was not here.

However, he didn't let the other person speak as Lionel quickly disappeared on the spot that he was standing on!

Right, he disappeared on the spot as he quickly started to run towards the unknown person.

Of course, the unknown person was Desire, who had now a teenager's body.

And Desire...was just standing around, but when he felt that his master really held a killing intent towards him, his instincts quickly moved.

His instincts quickly moved as he bent his knees and brought up his arms together to defend against the thick killing intent that was now right in front of him!

Of course, that was not all Desire did as his instincts moved once more.

To be exact, it was the cracks that were on his right chest and right arm.

They...Desire's right chest and right arm started to blacken all over, and Desire's instincts kicked right in.

He...put his right arm in front of his left arm as he made a cross-shaped block right in front of him.

Of course, this all happened at a very fast speed, and it seems that Lionel was still faster than Desire as he appeared right in front of Desire!

"Cough up everything you know, bastard!!" Lionel said as he punched Desire with all of his strength!

His right fist was shining with his mana as some kind of force made his right fist shine in some kind of light.

And as soon as Lionel's right fist collided against Desire's block, the area around them...the darkness soon got blasted away as Lionel's force pushed them away!

The force of the punch that pushed away the darkness from this place was so strong that the darkness didn't stand a chance!

It also revealed that this place...was like a house and its outside was a forest, but that was not important right now as even the forest's trees...started to get blown away!

Right, even the surroundings were affected by Lionel's incredible power and force!

However, even with that incredible power, Desire...didn't get blown away and was able to stand against Lionel's power!

Right, Desire...was still fine even though he just got punched hard by a Conqueror!

It was then that the sound of something sizzling started to resound out in this place as...the point of contact between Lionel and Desire started to exude smoke.

Of course, all this happened in the span of a single second.

"Oho." Lionel said as his glowing brown eyes started to widen a little bit.

After all, he didn't expect that this unknown person would be able to take a punch from him.

However, it seems that Lionel was still confident that he has already won this bout as he straightened his posture.

Well, it was the truth that he already won as he could see that...in Desire's mouth was his blood flowing down.

Although it wasn't flowing down crazily or something like that, Desire's innards were probably affected.

Of course, if it were affected, it would make his performance bad and his fighting skills, stamina, and strength would worsen as they fight over time.

That was why Lionel was sure that this unknown person wouldn't be able to fight anymore.

However, it seems that what Lionel thought was wrong as Desire moved quickly as he began to back off a little bit!

Right, Desire moved as he began to regroup himself as his right arm was still producing smoke.

The darkness in his arm was moving in a creepy way around the area where Desire got punched, and Lionel could see that very well.

"You got a strange power, don't you?" Lionel said with interest in his eyes as he looked at Desire's right arm.

Lionel was really interested in this as he could see that the darkness...was healing Desire's right arm.

Although it was small and slow, it was definitely interesting as it could heal a punch that came from a Conqueror.

Of course, even Desire was surprised by this, and that was why he couldn't speak at all.

Although he was still looking in Lionel's direction, Desire's attention and senses were all over his right arm.

He was just looking at Lionel so that he would be able to know when he would make his next move or something like that.

After all, Desire...was really interested in this new power that he got.

What's more, Desire...could feel that his injuries were getting healed, external and internal ones.

'Is this my power as a Quarter God?' Desire thought, but it seems that he couldn't think anymore as Lionel disappeared from his sights!

After all, there was just no way that Lionel would let Desire heal when he now knows that his opponent could heal himself.

Of course, Desire's instincts kicked in right away as his senses helped him in finding out where Lionel would appear!

Right, Desire predicted where Lionel would appear just with his senses alone!

And it seems that Desire was correct as...he ducked in really fast when he felt a terrifying punch coming from the side!

"Master! Wait!" Desire shouted out loud as he began to slide off the ground with his bare feet!

Of course, Lionel wasn't letting up as he followed Desire with his powerful fists!

It seems that he couldn't hear what Desire was saying as each of his punches was laden with thick killing intent!

Well, he couldn't help it. Why? It was because...Desire was able to dodge his fists every time.

Even though Desire was only able to dodge barely or by a hair's breadth, Desire...was still able to dodge!

'Who the hell is this guy?!' Lionel thought as he decided to take this to the next stage.

Since Lionel couldn't take down this unknown person, he decided to take it seriously.

That was why...Lionel backed off a little bit as he looked at Desire.

Of course, now that Desire was finally given a chance to breathe, he...quickly shouted out loud!

"Master! It's me! Desire! I'm Desire!" Desire said with a frantic look on his face.

After all, Desire could feel it. He could feel that Lionel decided to take this seriously.

How? It was because of the sudden change in the atmosphere.

Although Desire has never seen Lionel fight before, he definitely understood from this point alone.

He definitely understood that he wouldn't be able to run away from Lionel anymore!

That was how much the atmosphere changed in this place as even the skies...started to darken!

The air around Lionel started to bend as Lionel started to exude some smoke himself.

However, Desire could feel that the changes were just starting. Right, he could feel that it was just starting, and that was why...to make sure that the situation wouldn't escalate any further than this, Desire...began to walk.

Right, Desire began to walk towards Lionel even though the pressure that came from Lionel was so strong that Desire had to physically mend it off.

Desire's right chest and right arm's darkness started to fade as it returned back to cracks.

Desire then raised both of his arms up as a sign of...surrender.

Right, Desire was surrendering before this situation escalates any further than this.

After all, even Desire didn't want to fight against his master.

Although Desire knew that he wouldn't be able to win against Lionel right now, the reason for not wanting to fight his master was different.

It was not because he would lose.

Right, the reason why he didn't want to fight against his master was...it was just sick.

There was a reason why Lionel was his master, and that was because Desire...wanted him to be his master.

Even though the way they became a master and student was weird and different, Desire didn't care about that anymore.

Desire has a lot of respect for Lionel, and he looked up to him as an individual.

Although Desire has not shown that during the time they were together, that was only because they were together for a short amount of time.

However, it was the truth that Desire...looked up to Lionel.

That was why Desire didn't want to fight his master.

What's more, it's not like there were any real reasons for them to fight against each other.

Desire knew that the reason why his master was being like this was because...Desire looked different right now.

Although Desire didn't know how he looked right now, that was only because he has not seen himself in a mirror yet.

However, he was sure that there were a lot of changes in his face as he grew up so suddenly.

That was why...Desire shouted once more with passion in his voice.

He shouted his surrender.

"I wish not to fight!"

Right, before Desire could address himself as Lionel's disciple, he had to make sure that Lionel wouldn't see him as a threat anymore.

After all, it was clear as day that Lionel thinks of Desire as an intruder.

And when things would calm down...that was the time Desire would explain things.

"I surrender!"
