He placed a finger on one of the tiny golden palm prints and closed his eyes. A bright golden glow appeared on his finger, and that was when he connected with the soul of the little fairy. 

Lucifer could not see what was happening outside, but he could somehow talk to the fairy.

"Hi, there…" Lucifer said in a soft voice, knowing clearly how easily spooked these little fairies could be. For all their healing abilities, these little creatures were like hamsters, in that most of them could easily die from heart attack. "What are you doing here? Uh huh… Someone sent you to fix this guy's body? He keeps bleeding? Well, thanks for fixing this idiot up. You don't want to die, but if you fix him up, you're going to…"

Lucifer's face remained expressionless as he conversed with the fairy, but Juin knew that the "guy" Lucifer mentioned was him. 

"What happened? Is someone going to die because of me?" Juin asked worriedly as he looked at Lucifer���s face. 

However, he was ignored. 

"Uh huh… I'm sorry, kid…" Lucifer said with a calm expression. As a demon king, he was used to death, especially since he came from a world where life sacrifices were common, so he usually did not care much about the death of those who were unrelated to him, and this applied even if the one to die were from his own species, much less the death of a species. 

"A kid?!" Juin gasped upon hearing that. Obviously, being raised by Mrs. Martin, who was a devout Christian, Juin had a completely different view. "A kid's going to die because of me?!" 

Lucifer frowned as he tried to focus on the connection. "Yes, if I ever meet others of your kind, I'll let them know that you die bravely…"

"I don't want anyone to die because of me!" Juin gasped and pushed Lucifer away. 

"I can help." 

Suddenly, a voice appeared in Juin's head, and he looked around clearly. He recognized that voice. 

"What--"

"Quiet," Hades' voice, which was similar to Juin's but colder, sounded in Juin's mind. "Lucifer can't know that I awaken inside your mind. Keep me a secret as much as possible. I'll help you preserve a part of the fairy… And I know what you are thinking now. You are wondering what's the catch. There's no catch. Take it as a meeting gift. After all, you've been keeping this body alive while I'm completely helpless here. So, in a way, you have been keeping me alive. My true strength is still locked, so I can't do much for you, but I can keep the little fellow's soul alive… As long as its soul exists, you can always find a way to bring him back to life later."

"How…" Juin closed his eyes and mumbled, making Lucifer think that he was trying to control his emotion because he heard that someone was going to die because of him. 

"I have the power to take souls away from others… I don't have a lot of time left. The shackle is going to put me into a deep sleep again shortly. Pay attention." 

Juin nodded. He stood for a few seconds before sitting down on the ground with his legs folded. His eyes closed; he started to follow the red diagram that he could see being formed in his mind. It was hard for him to imagine the how, but at the moment, he just wanted to learn it quickly so as to not have someone's life on his conscience. 

During the process, Hades explained the process as quickly as he could, while Juin tried to absorb as much knowledge as possible. 

At the end of his session, Hades' voice became softer and softer, and it completely disappeared after one last sentence. 

"The weaker the shackles are, the stronger we will be, Juin of Earth…"

However, Juin, who was completely focused on forming the spell diagram, barely registered the whole sentence. 

Within a short period of time, his body started to show some changes. Right in front of Lucifer's eyes, a red glow started to appear on Juin's body. First, it was not so noticeable; it was so soft, almost pink-like than red. 

But it soon got brighter and brighter, to the point that it became crimson red. 

"What the fu--" Lucifer cursed, but before he could finish his words, he noticed something weird. The usually quiet Soul Dimension was stirring… with a gust of wind that appeared out of nowhere… 

"Hot air… It's coming from him!" Lucifer narrowed his eyes on Juin, wondering how this could have happened, especially since Juin's soul power was nearly depleted. If there was anything left, it couldn't be more than 1%. Anymore, and Juin's soul would be out and the other soul would be back. "Juin, stop this!" 

Lucifer reached forward to grab Juin's shoulder.

BAM!

A huge blast of energy that Juin released sent Lucifer flying a few meters back into the air. When Lucifer stabilized himself, he looked back at Juin and gasped. 

The red glow covering Juin's body had been tinted with black veins, and a diagram appeared two inches in front of Juin's face. From the diagram, a reddish-black hand reached out, and with two fingers, it touched the two tiny palm prints on Juin's forehead. 

The moment the reddish-black fingers touched the palm prints, ripples appeared on the palm prints, until all the golden color disappeared and replaced by black veins. 

"An infection…" Lucifer thought to himself as his eyes widened. "And it looks like…"

"It's one of the ancient spells…" Lucifer gasped. 

The reddish-black hand retreated back into the diagram, and at the same time, the black tiny palm prints on Juin's forehead seemed to be pushing out of his forehead. 

Suddenly, Juin's forehead glowed brightly. 

POP!

A little n.a.k.e.d fairy popped out of Juin's forehead and landed on the ground of his Soul Dimension. Its eyes opened slowly, and there seemed to be confusion in its eyes as it wondered where it was.

And when it saw Lucifer floating in the sky with an angry expression, the confusion disappeared, completely replaced by fear as it looked away from the stare. When it turned around, it saw Juin's huge face that was a few inches above it. 

"Argh!" the little fairy screamed and flew backward. 

Juin chuckled in disbelief. "No way… That really worked!"
