Chapter 21 - Chapter 21: Making plans

Nyxir remained silent for a long time standing on a spot with lots of questions popping in his head to further fuel his fantasy.

"I don't know anything about a devil's abyssal soul otherwise I would have made so many comparison and figured out what is the something that is wrong."

"But what I know is that... This .... Is just way too big for a newly awakened diviner " he looked as far as his eyes could reach and coupled with all his walking the first time he came here, he had concluded that this whole place might be bigger than a whole district if not more since he never seems to see the end.

As all naturally born soul weapons mature along with its host, he had also believed that a devil's abyssal soul was the same but this is just too much for a newly awakened devil, this had left him to conclude that it might not be that simple and the fact that he aquired a monarch chronicle made him lean toward the possibility of this matter not being far from true. This is just to calm his mind and also made him prepared for other possible outcomes.

"I have really changed, I don't think I will exhaust myself thinking of several possibilities without an actual battle happening."

"This could be because I'm mentally stressed from all the threat about my life which none has come for me and had left me nothing but more worries. Maybe I was just being paranoid and a devil's abyssal soul is born large."

He slowly moved forward since he doesn't have anything to do he had decided to clear his mind by strolling though this dark world perhaps, he might find something of interest.

After walking for some time he already felt much better from his hyper anxious state and without disappointment still, all he saw were endless darkness and nothingness which blanketed the entire world.

"This cannot just be the only purpose of an abyssal soul right?"

"Isn't it called a haven for devils, how then do I use it? "

Several ideas flashed past his head but since he had no answer he decided to call it quits and exit the dark world.

Maybe he will have his answer someday, there are still other things he could do.

He concentrated on his surroundings just like he did when exiting previously, soon enough he felt a subtle pull and locked onto it before____.

" Dammit! not this again, why do I have to fall down each time I'm entering or exiting?"

"It doesn't even make sense falling downward each time"

He cursed as he descended rapidly, he knew he would not be injured but he just could not take it falling that fast and he doesn't think any one could either even with the mentality that there is no danger.

Nyxir opened his eyes stretched a little before getting up from the bed. He looked out of the window at the clear blue sky that stretched towards the horizon.

He sat down by the table and fiddled with the black diary, his mind was immersed in all the events that transpired since his reincarnation.

He took a deep slow breath, returned to his soul sea and scanned the surroundings.

He had thought the abyssal soul was transformed from his soul sea by the dark specks but after walking for a long time in the dark world, he still could not see its end or even the mornach chronicle from his soul sea floating gently by the side, this made him conclude he was indeed transported to a different space that he didn't know anything about.

The translucent apparition floated quietly in the air and his body was full of shimering specks of light dancing wildly as if to welcome his presence. He could clearly feel a gentle pull from his soul which floated quietly in mid air.

" The increased activity of the specks was just a reaction to my presence and was trying to pull me in, I could now feel it even without trying to."

"Maybe because I've entered it myself."

Nyxir looked around his soul sea which looks like a blurry waterfall surrounding an azure blue light, the floor was dark and still like a dark mirror reflecting what was above it.

The soul sea is just a part of the subconscious where the soul resides, it is the calmest of the body and the most important, powerful, dangerous and fragile place. A battle seasoned veteran will fight with instinct but infact, it is his subconscious that is battling using his body that has been tempered time and time again.

When we do something repeatedly, the subconscious will register it and the body will adjust to it. Like a battling style even when we eventually become flustered in the face of danger the subconscious will trigger the same battle style and your body will instinctively retaliate as a defensive measure to stay alive.

He wandered in his soul sea for a long time before returning to reality.

"Tomorrow is when some of those organizations will come for Liv, seeing that she's an angel aspects diviner and has a warrior grade talent, they will never give up on an opportunity to recruit her."

"I just wish she took the one that is good for her and also bargain with them to possibly enrol her into a proper school will be better. I have to talk her into it during dinner"

Left with nothing else to do, Nyxir focused on improving his divine energy and speaking of which he also has a very strong spirituality only that he doesn't know how else to use it except for his sharp intuition. Now that he has a chronicle, it will eventually be put into good use after learning from Olivia.

Gathering divine energy is the easiest thing because they practically lingers in the air since the time of the first explosion. The only requirement is to have awaken a divinity which will constantly absorb it even when you're not intentionally absorbing it, that is why a simple rest can replenish your divine energy and spirituality.

As for actively absorbing it, you can try to store more than your capacity even though it will make you feel bloated up, your body will gradually accommodate it and you will be able to store more than you were previously.

" Knock!!!"

A knock distracted Nyxir from his full focus and he opened his eyes, he was already so lost in his practice that he did not realize that time has gone by.

He faced the door which creaked open slowly and Olivia's head poked in by the side.

"Dinner is ready" her voice echoed inside the dark room.

Nyxir did not even know it was already dark so he had not turned on the lamp. The lamp was something old Lu had gotten from their previous house when they moved here, it was a lamp that burned using coal and they were able to hire a skillful craftsman to fix a lamp for each of the rooms.

"What are you even doing in the dark anyway?" Olivia inquired as she frown at the dark silhouette seated motionlessly on the chair.

Meanwhile several question marks were dancing inside Nyxir's head, if Olivia could see him she would have been scared silly by the frequent change in his expression.

'Dark room?'

' It is really dark, how can I see so clearly?'

' Is it because of the dark world? '

' What kind of aspect did I really awaken?'

He was shocked at first and happy at the same time that he had even forgotten that Olivia still has her head peeking through the door.

"What are you doing?" Her voice sounded again bringing him back to his senses.

" I was just absorbing some divine energy" he replied and stood up walking towards the door.

"Don't just poke your head through someone's door" he pushed her head outside and closed the door behind him.

"Why do you look like you won a lottery" Olivia pouted when she saw a foolish grin hanging on his face under the illumination of the full moon.

"I just had a nice dream of course I will be delighted."

" Say can you explain your aspect ability to me, I seem to be able to copy people's power" he stated and stretched out his hand.

A small golden book weaved out of twinkling specks instantaneously appeared in his hand.
