When he saw Juin's skeptical look, he asked, "Do you know anything about maintaining the balance of elements?"
Juin shook his head, but both Wolfe and Luca nodded. It was part of their supernatural studies, and one of the first few things they learned outside of human education. As for Juin, since he was late to the scene, Tucker had conveniently forgotten that his student lacked a lot of basic knowledge and assumed that Juin already knew most things.
"But that's only if there are opposing elements in one's body," Wolfe said. "Juin only has one…"
His eyes widened suddenly as he looked at Eranos, "Unless..."
Eranos nodded.
"As the vessel to another soul," Eranos finished his words for him. "Juin also carries around different elements, as well as a different level of power in him. Not to mention the fact that powers from different worlds, even if they are inherently similar, are different in a minuscule level."
Seemingly understood, Juin nodded and said, "But… we are both flames user…"
"Doesn't mean that you are the same," Luca responded this time. He thought for a moment before saying, "I actually noticed this when your body was taken over by that thing inside of you. The flames were darker in color, almost black, and they felt different as well. When you, or the one inside of you, were fighting His Majesty Eranos earlier, the flames were different from the flames that trapped His Majesty as well. It felt like two different auras…"
His eyes lit up as he looked at Juin with a curious glance. "... As if they belonged to two different souls."
Luca had found that odd, but not once did it occur to him that a human could carry two foreign souls in them. He had seen the aftermath of the merge, and if Juin could not handle one demon soul properly, how could he have managed to hide two souls in him?"
Eranos looked at Juin, who gave him a look telling him to not say anything about it. He then continued where Luca stopped, "I noticed that as well. The crazy one inside of you… His flames came from a darker nature…"
"I suppose that's because he's a demon," Juin remarked. There was no point in hiding that after all. "He uses demon flames, while mine is… more normal?"
Although, only he knew that there was more. His own powers were of the opposing nature, and based on what Eranos was saying, it could also be his own powers that were affecting his physical body as well.
Eranos nodded at Juin's remark. "So the flames that he could wield would naturally be different from yours and have the ability to do different things from you as well."
He shivered when he thought of the flames earlier, and deep in his mind, he knew that those flames had the power to hurt his soul.
"Even if they are both flames, they could still have opposing nature as well. For example, in our records, someone with the power to control purifying flames actually existed once."
"Purifying flames?" Wolfe asked with a brow raised.
"Like how the demon inside Juin has the power to wield flames that could hurt one's soul, someone with the power to wield purifying flames would be able to save a damaged soul," Eranos explained. He then used his vines to push Juin up to a sitting position, and he created two more vine chairs for them, before creating his throne.
Once everyone was seated down, he continued, "And the power of the one inside of Juin is different from his own power, as the flames he controls are actually corrosive in nature. As mentioned, it could target the enemy's soul."
Eranos thought about the soul that took over Juin's body; not the one that fought like a maniac, but the one that appeared after that… Everything about the second soul was terrifying. Just from the way he spoke to that dragon that looked like it could kill Eranos easily sent shivers up Eranos' spine.
That dragon had to be an ancient creature; one that had lived for millions of years, yet it showed so much respect for the soul that did not even have a physical body.
'How did he come to have such a soul in him?' Eranos thought as he stared at Juin with a conflicted expression. He wanted to ask, but Juin seemed to want to keep this a secret from his little friends… And to be honest, Eranos did not want to anger him, in case the souls inside him came out again.
Of course, he knew that it was unlikely as Juin's body would be unable to handle the souls at the moment. But even so, it was better not to risk it. This boy was too much of a wild card for him to take chances.
"Eranos?" Juin called out when Eranos suddenly went silent.
Eranos blinked, and after a few seconds, he cleared his throat and said, "As I was saying… Balance is important. Being bestowed with a great power is great, but if things are not balanced and you are unable to control it, it is equal to a death sentence, not just for you, but also for those around you."
"No…" Juin said weakly. He closed his eyes and tried to focus as his body started to show signs of shutting down again. When he opened his eyes with difficulty, he said, "I can use the same power as well, the one that targets the souls…"
Eranos raised a brow at him. "What? Are you sure?"
Juin nodded. "I thought it's just a matter of learning the spells…"
"True, but…" Eranos thought about it for a while. While it was true that one could learn the spells of another world, to learn something like a soul-targeting spell would be immensely difficult.
He placed his chin on his propped fist and thought deeply, 'Unless that scarier soul inside of him is responsible for this.'
He then shook his head and looked at Juin. "Let's not talk about that. I think it's best if you consult your teachers. After all, we are from different worlds, and what affects my people will affect yours differently."
"Back to business…" Eranos continued as he moved the pill around his fingers, "This pill can replenish your soul power. At the same time, it can also strengthen your cells so that things will become easier in the future, especially when your body is taken over again, so that you won't be a sitting duck every time after being taken over. During the process, your own power will receive a boost as well...
"To get stronger, it's not just about focusing on your soul power and Soul Dimension. Your physical body needs to be trained as well, especially in your case where you are literally living for more than just yourself.
"And having your body taken over by another soul, whether it is by force or not, is already detrimental enough, and when there is an incompatibility in powers between yours and the other souls, it will break your body down even faster."
At this point, Luca's eyes twitched slightly, but no one noticed it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
