Chap 180: Can't Forget Me

. . . . .Meanwhile. . . . .

<Unknown PoV'ish>

Finding a new place to settle, I took charge of the group after the leader fell to the UnderGraves Asters. But yet I don't know what's happening to me, I think... Did I change?

Using new magics I acquired from merging with Aster's heart, we took refuge in an old desert stronghold near Il Doresten of the central desert, and this is now our home.

Yet more of us have died, both to Aster's comrade and the harsh elements of this elemental desert, we used to be so strong... And now look at us, we're like mortals.

Finding my way to the chieftain's room to lodge, I found my way to the old dirty bed and sat down, sighing and looking looking down to my hands after escaping them.

Those UnderGraves of Aster's self, they're weak but...

Those looks they gave me, did Aster truly hate me?...

"I do, don't get me wrong..." his voice rang in my ear.

And shocked, I looked up past my half-mutilated body, and I saw him, standing there in front of me with his hands behind his back as he had a smile on him.

"Aster...?!" I jerked back, going more onto the bed.

"How is... But you... I... How is this possible?!" I said.

But he ignored me as he walked over and sat down at the edge of the bed, putting his hands to his sides and looking up, "Back to what I was saying, I do hate you, so don't get me wrong, but it's only because of what you're presence means to me, but now... You're like me now"

Turning his head after saying that, he smiled brightly.

But I didn't know what he meant, what does he mean?

"I mean, you're a Monster now, a Demon, a Darkworlder"

Shocked, did he just read my mind, "So what if I did?" he said back to me, and scooting back, he turned over and appeared in front of me on his knees, as if he teleported.

"Don't be scared, all you need to do is embrace it. All you have to do is embrace me... You already have my heart. So all you have to do is embrace me in full now, kay~"

"B... But..." I tried speaking but my voice shook in front of his ghost, and trying to speak, he covered my mouth.

"I can't haunt you, and I don't blame you, so just do it"

Bringing his face closer to mine, his friendly face glew brighter, and moving his hand off my mouth, he gave me a kiss on the lips before standing up and jumping off.

Landing on the ground from the bed, he turned around and put his hands behind his back again, looking to the door, "Hm? I never thought I'd become a magic shard?"

Turning around, "I wonder, even though I'm sort of on your side, when the real me comes back to the realm, what is he going to do, is he going to continue to be a ground solider for the Azura's Demon Cult, is he gonna come back to Nefumia to take revenge on the Liches, or, will he come back, and take back his old heart?..."

He said looking at me, but sitting up, "What do you mean by when he comes back to the realm? Also, can you tell me about the others as well," I said somehow not panicked anymore.

And with a smile, "I'm an DarkWorlder, and I'll be back~"

He smiled and the Red in his eyes, flickered Dark Green.
