That night, despite telling himself to sleep lighter, Juin still fell into a deep sleep shortly after closing his eyes. Perhaps subconsciously, his body knew that he would be unable to sleep well once the training began, so it decided to rest as much as possible now.
Either way, Lucifer did not care. Besides, this gave him an opportunity to check on Juin's shackled soul.
Hanging in midair with one hand dangling freely next to his body and the other being dangled up in the air by the invisible chain, the shackled soul remained as quiet as before. If the leaders of those groups that coveted Juin were to see it now, they wouldn't have known that this shackled soul contained more power than they thought.
Lucifer activated the spell that could allow him to see the "invisible" chain, and after a thorough investigation, he noticed that there was a crack on the chain that was shackling the soul's left foot. It was a small one, which he would have missed if he were careless enough. The crack was thin, almost thread like, but even so, it made Lucifer uneasy.
"Why…" Lucifer mumbled worriedly to himself while floating in midair, right in front of the soul. "Nothing happened recently, so why is there a crack?"
He thought of the things that happened recently and wondered if the previous injury caused the crack… or if whatever the weird doctor put in Juin was the culprit.
"Or is it because Juin's d.e.s.i.r.e to get stronger has affected the soul? Did it attempt to break out because it felt Juin's emotions?" Lucifer could not help but think about it that way. After all, as he had noticed earlier, Juin was slowly changing. He was no longer the weakling who cowered at every attack, verbal or physical, but was actually attacking back in his own way.
There was no telling whether Juin was affecting the soul or vice versa.
"Or could it be everything?" Lucifer thought as he floated back down onto the ground.
Juin's soul had been an enigma, not only for Lucifer but also for Warlock, so Lucifer did not think that he could ask Warlock about this. Since there weren't that many precedents that could look at, this being a forbidden spell after all, they could only speculate based on whatever they could see at the moment… which was kind of bad.
Folding his arms and looking worried, Lucifer mumbled while staring at the soul, "Ah, Juin… I hope you are strong enough to fight against the negative influence that the leakage of power might give you… If it's true that your soul is currently split into two, I hope that the currently dominating one will be strong enough to overtake the dormant part of your soul. Please don't let me regret not ending your life…"
His eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the soul of his twin brother, wondering what it would be like if things were different, if the prophecy did not exist… Would they be as close as he was with his best friend, Stolas?
He recalled the time when he and Stolas played pranks on Ralmaroz, who was in a meeting with the rest of the council, and how they were both caught, tied up, and dangled upside down from the top of a 50 meter tall tree as punishment.
A soft smirk appeared on Lucifer's face as he wondered if he and his twin brother would work together to prank their father should things be different.
Suddenly, the shackled soul disappeared, and the conscious Juin appeared in the Soul Dimension, wearing a formal set of suits and holding a rose in his hand.
"What are you doing here?" Lucifer asked. It was rare for him to appear here when Lucifer did not call him.
Juin glanced around and quickly cleared his throat. His face turned red as he mumbled, "I don't know… I was at a party… Then the next thing I know, I'm here."
He threw the stalk of rose up in the air, and within the blink of an eye, the stalk of rose disappeared, along with his disappointment of not being able to hand the rose to the dream Max.
"I was about to ask if you have somehow dragged me here, but based on your surprised expression, I would say not…" Juin mumbled.
When he heard Juin, Lucifer thought for a moment when his eyes suddenly went wide open.
"Your body!"
…
Lucifer got out of Juin's Soul Dimension at around the same time that Juin woke up in real life.
"What the…" Juin looked around when he felt the floor shaking wildly. The king-sized bed was trembling badly. "An earthquake?"
He could hear noises coming from outside, followed by a loud knock.
"Juin!"
Recognizing the voice as Cyrus', Juin quickly ran to the door and unlocked it.
"What's happening?" Juin asked, looking out and seeing a few servants walking calmly toward the room at the end. "Isn't that Luca's room?"
CLANG!
Cyrus nodded and winced when he heard a loud clang coming from the room, as if someone had just broken a huge vase. His ears that were highly s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e felt painful from it, and he immediately covered his ears with his hands before using his soul power to block the noise.
"I asked one of them just now, and they said that this is common and that we shouldn't worry too much. But I don't like it… Can I sleep in your room?"
Juin nodded and told Cyrus to go into the room while he went out to check. When he got to Luca's bedroom, he saw Mr. Spencer with his eyes closed and his hands on the door. Behind him were a male and two female servants dressed in their pajamas, and one of the female servants, the one with the red shoulder-length hair, was holding a small medical kit in her hands while her face had a worried expression on.
Swissshh…
"What's that sound…"
There was a sharp, hissing like sound that came from Luca's room.
"Cold…" Juin thought when he felt a cold wind brushing past his n.a.k.e.d feet, and his body shivered involuntarily as he hugged himself tightly. Looking down, he saw that the female servants' nightgowns were moving wildly, and he knew then that the wind came from under the door. "Is he practicing inside his room in the middle of the night?"
When he looked up, he saw Mr. Spencer's hands glowed slightly in green, and that was when he noticed the talisman in his hands. The soft green light came from the talisman, and it soon created a diagram in front of Mr. Spencer's hands.
A minute later, no sound could be heard from Luca's room, almost as if the disturbance earlier was nothing but a figment of their imagination.
Mr. Spencer removed his hands from the door, upon which the talisman suddenly lit up and burned itself into ashes before falling onto the ground.
And when the last of them fell to the ground, the door was opened and Soren stepped out of it.
His face was covered with cuts, and his long-sleeved pajamas had a sleeve torn from away from the seams, as well as multiple cuts on his abdomen, one of which was bleeding. Even his legs had some wounds on them as well.
