91: Prison of Heaven

"Are you sure you want me to open the book?"

Getting no answer the first time he asked, the old man asked once again with a mysterious smile on his face. 

"Is there a reason you shouldn't?" Instead of answering directly, Azekiel also asked a question in return. 

Lia blankly looked back and forth between the two people. It was as if there was a competition between the two to see who could be vaguer in their answers. 

The old man chuckled. "Reasons to not open the book are many, yet if you ask me to open it, I promise I'll do it. But only if you won't regret it later on."

"So, should I?"

"Yes, open the book." Azekiel decided to call the bluff, holding onto the man's words. 

Even if the man wasn't the Soul Demon, Azekiel still couldn't miss the opportunity. He needed the book opened. He needed to know the direction that led to the stone of time. And he needed to get rid of the curse.
