Chapter 138: All you have been doing is...

In the cave, Little Ai takes off his mask and his clothes. He takes out the talisman from his cloak's inner pocket. After unfolding it, he looks at the symbol. The pungent scent of dead ehr assaults his nose. He turns around and glances at the wall.

Should he wait here for them or leave this place?

He purses his lips. He can't wait to see his Pretty Sister. Ai steps toward the wall and slams the talisman on it. He waits for a few seconds. When nothing happens, he scowls. Did that Pretty Sister trick him? He takes a step back. To his surprise, the talisman is glued to the wall. 

The symbols on the talisman glow brightly before they are absorbed by the magic in the wall. Ai widens his eyes when shimmering lines manifest on the wall until there's a door in front of him. He fists his hands and grins. This must be the door to the Dark Realm. Excited, he runs toward the door and pushes it open. 

It opens to another cave.

"..."

That's disappointing. The cave is too dark. What should he do? He looks behind. That Sister and her Elder Brother aren't here yet. Then, he can leave? He should see where this cave leads to. 

He continues walking for a long time. Time seems to be flowing slowly here. There's no sound or smell. He sees a bright light at the end. Where is this place? 

When he comes out of the cave, he finds himself near a lake. The azure sky is clear. There's not a single cloud. He looks around. There's a forest around the lake. Dark spirit beasts are drinking water at the shore. These spirit beasts can't see him. How will he find his Pretty Sister? 

He's sure that Sister and Elder Brother need help.

Little Ai taps his chin. He's been to the dark castle once. He knows his Pretty Sister's scent too. He closes his eyes and focuses on finding his pretty sister's scent. It's faint, but her scent is lingering in her air. He starts running in the direction. It's not far away.

He runs for a long time, not paying attention to anything on the way. After half an hour, he's standing in front of the gate of the dark castle. Little Ai pants for breath, wondering what to do now. The gate is closed.

His clothes are drenched with sweat. Little Ai takes off his shoes. He's not exactly a human. If he must climb the gate then, he will do it gladly. Nothing can stop him from meeting her.

Little Ai climbs the gate quickly. When he reaches on the top, he looks down and sees a giant spirit beast leaning against the door and snoring with some of his eyes open. There are other spirits standing here and there. Are they guards? Why are they so lazy about this? 

He jumps on the spirit beast, sliding down his body as the spirit beast's eyes snap open.

No matter where he looks, Mogrok can't see the thing on his body. Startled, he rubs his thousand arms all over himself, trying to capture what feels like a small ball of cotton. The cotton ball slides down and dashes away. Mogrok screams in horror. 

"There's an invisible intruder!!!"

All the spirit beasts are alert. But they can't sense an intruder nearby. All of them run around, looking for the invisible intruder who dared to come to the dark castle.

Little Ai is already in the hall, heading toward Ari's room. He wipes his sweat. He's been running for a long time. Why is he getting tired like this? Is it because of the talisman? It would have been easier if he could use his magic. 

"Pretty Sister!!!" He pushes the door open and… 

A pillow hits his face before he could see anything. When the pillow drops, Ai realizes that his eyes and ears are covered with the dark ehr. He can't see or hear anything. Struggling to move, he yells for his sister, "Pretty Sister?"

"Oh my god!" Ari screams, pushing Adira away from her. "It's a kid."

"Don't worry." Adira takes his dick out of her vagina reluctantly. "He hasn't seen or heard anything."

"It's all your fault." Ari picks up the blanket and covers her body. "All you have been doing is…" She bites her lower lip, not wanting to say the word in front of a kid.

Adira shrugs. "You chose this way."

"I didn't choose this," Ari barks at him. 

"I wonder how he got in here." He stands up and picks up his robe from the floor. Then, who can sense this nameless child except for him and the Renasir? He glances at Ari who is on her way to the bathroom. A chuckle escapes his lips. His little bride is amusing these days. 

Though he got angry at her first, he truly doesn't hate the idea of turning her immortal this way.

"Pretty Sister, Elder Brother and Sister are in trouble!" Ai shouts with a pleading voice. "The bad god wants to kill Sister."

Now, what should he do about this nameless child? Adira frowns at the child. He removes the barrier on Ai's hearing. "Who are you talking about?"

Hearing that dark voice, Ai shudders in fear. Is it the bad god again? "Are you going to hurt me?"

"I can't hurt you." For a while. Adira walks to the child. "Tell me what happened."

Ari comes out of the bathroom, dressed in a robe. She didn't want to touch Ai after… She shakes her head. She knits her brows when she sees that Adira is gone. Little Ai is sitting on the chair, tied with chains of dark ehr. 

"Pretty Sister." Ai bursts into tears when he sees her. "The bad god tied me here."

"Huh?" Ari scurries to the kid and grabs the dark chains. No matter what, she can't break it. Then, she curls her fingers around the chair and channels the ehr in her body. Warm ehr surges through her channels. Her eyes shine bright as her veins glisten with a golden light. She says the combination rune that she's most familiar with, "[Kres]"

The chain vibrates in her hands for a moment. Then, nothing happens. 

"What?" She pulls the strange. "Hey, break already… No, get erased. Why is the rune not working? It worked well in the past."

"Master, it's because you aren't the harbinger anymore." She lets go of the chain when she hears Mogrok's voice. He's standing near the door in his smaller form, looking grievous. 

"Oh, Mogrok." She blinks her eyes. "What do you mean?"

"You don't carry the heart of the dark god." Mogrok continues with a tired voice, "Carrying the dark god made your magic stronger. That body was also special. Now, you are back to level zero. Your body isn't used to channelling ehr yet… And…"

Mogrok glares at the invisible entity on the chair. "Because of that nameless creature, I got punished today."

Mogrok and his fellow beasts have to patrol the borders of the dark kingdom day and night without any sleep for the next decade. 

"..." Why are there more bad news than good ones? Ari runs her fingers through her hair. Adira… that idiot god! "Where's your dark god, Mogrok?"

"He left the castle." Mogrok looks at the messy bed and clicks his tongue. It would have been better if the dark god remained as that idiot boy who didn't know about the matter between the man and the woman. 

"That's strange," Ari mumbles. Leaving right after meeting Ai? Adira must have something important to do then.

"He went to save Sister." Ai raises his chin and reveals it to Ari, "Elder Brother sent me away and stayed behind to protect Sister. A bad god was coming."

"You mean, Kresi?" Ari exclaims. "Is it Cina?"

Ai nods his head. "I told Pretty Sister's husband that Sister and Elder Brother are in danger."

"Husband?" The corner of Ari's lips twitch. He won't marry her until she reaches immortality, but he goes around and tells kids that he's her husband? 

"He explained everything to me before he left." Ai's eyes become big and round. "He told me that I shouldn't call you Pretty Sister anymore. You have a child inside your belly."

Huh? Wait? She likes being called Sister. "Ai, don't take his words seriously."

"He said that it's bad luck to call you a sister because you are a mother now." Ai interrupts her with sparkling eyes. "From now on, I will call you Mother."
