"Ah, I'm already in my Soul Dimension…" he mumbled as he slowly stood up. He then turned around, and without any warning, he suddenly yelled out, "ARGH! What the f*ck!" 

Standing in front of him was Lucifer, but his features were quite fearsome. His handsome face was now covered in bulging red veins, and the red in his pupils had now completely taken over his entire eyes. Two long horns protruded out from the side of his temples, and his previously straight white teeth were now as black as coal… and some of the teeth were sharp like fangs. 

"Yes, that's the same reaction I had when I saw your ugly face for the first time," Lucifer said dryly.

"W-what…" With a hand patting his own chest, Juin stuttered as he pointed at Lucifer. "What the heck happened to you?!" 

Lucifer growled at him as he looked down at his own hands, which had sharp claws where the nails were supposed to be. "I overused my energy and my soul reverted to my true form. Well, almost my true form anyway..."

"This, is your true form?!" Juin gasped. 

"Shut up!" Lucifer narrowed his eyes at Juin as he took a step forward. "If it's not because of your uselessness, would I be in this state?" 

Juin gulped and nodded. "I'm sorry…"

"I don't need you to be sorry! I need you to get stronger so that I don't have to keep expending my soul power needlessly!" Lucifer frowned and sat down on the ground. He did not even have the energy to keep himself afloat in the Soul Dimension. 

He was in a worse state earlier, but thank god time moved slower here, so he had recovered almost a quarter of his soul power. Calling up that Soul Beast when Lucifer had barely recovered from the fight with Warlock was a bad idea… 

He had forgotten how much soul power it took to maintain it, and how small his soul power reserve was at the moment because of his lack of physical body. 

Thankfully, he just needed a few more days, in human time, to recover completely. 

"Until then, you're on your own…" Lucifer said to Juin nonchalantly after he explained what had he been doing the last few days when Juin was unconscious. "Try not to get yourself killed in the meantime."

"Alright…" Juin mumbled. He then thought, "It's better this way… Or I might scream every morning when I wake up and see your face…"

"By the way," Lucifer looked up at Juin and said while signaling him to sit down. "I heard your conversation with that man… And the one that you had with Ashton."

"You were watching us?" Juin asked, taking a seat in front of Lucifer, not really offended. After all, Lucifer had been with him for some time, and he was used to the guy's presence in everything. Thankfully, or not, he had no girlfriend, or things might be quite awkward. 

"No, but I can hear everything you can hear clearly…" Lucifer said nonchalantly. "So, you are going to go with the Order?" 

"It's the best choice. The Order is the biggest group, and at least, no one from that group tried to kill me… Yet. As for the Dark Night Clan… I don't trust them just by their history. Besides, even if my real soul is a demon soul, they don't know that. To them, I'm just a human who housed a demon soul. There's no telling if they would leave me alone or try to extract you out of me using one way or another…

"As such, going with the group of humans with supernatural bloodlines would be safer for me."

"And Presley?" Lucifer asked, clearly unnerved by the man with the silver hair.

"We will take it a step at a time. If he's really trying to do something evil, then like Mr. Thompson said… I can take him down from the inside." 

"You?" Lucifer scoffed. "I think you are a little overconfident with your own ability."

Instead of being offended, Juin merely looked at him and said seriously, "You'll be there with me, right? And you'll help me…"

There was a moment of silence before Lucifer said, "What if I don't want to?" 

"It won't do any of us good if we don't walk on the same path…" Juin asserted as he stared Lucifer in the eye. He put out a hand, palm turned inside in a shaking pose, and said, "If I'm doing this, I want both of us to be in it together. I'm not strong, but I think that with your help, I can be."

Warlock mentioned that his real soul was extremely strong, so he believed that he himself could be strong as well. He just had to do it gradually while controlling his emotions so that the "evil" part of the soul would not get out. 

As Warlock said, he was now being powered by the conscious part of the soul. He had to get stronger, both physically and mentally, in order to control the currently unconscious part of his soul.

"What am I getting out of this?" Lucifer asked with a brow raised suspiciously. 

"You heard Mr. Thompson. The winner of the Battle will get a Portal Stabilizer. You want to go home, right?" 

"I do… But I'm a soul now… I can't just go back," Lucifer pointed it out with a sigh. 

Juin had thought about this earlier, but he had no idea how to get past this yet. "We will think about this later… Warlock must have an idea of how to pull your soul out since he did it before… If we win, I'll ask him for help. I'll do whatever I can to send you home."

"Why?" Lucifer asked suspiciously, wondering why would Juin treat him so nicely when he had been picking on him the whole time.

"I don't have any family members left in this world… But you do," Juin said with a smile. "Your fiancee is waiting for you back home, right?" 

Hearing him, Lucifer started to think about Izzy and his expression softened significantly. He then looked at Juin and thought, "Who said you don't have any family members left? There's one currently here with you…"
