One True God

Chapter 144: Healed

The Blood Guardian has finally started to process to take the other half of his soul to his consciousness.

Of course, he was doing this using his instincts just as instructed by the other half of his soul.

After all, this was the only real idea that he had in order to take the other half of his soul to his consciousness.

It was nothing weird.

And it seems that...the Blood Guardian was finally done in doing this as he...was now back in Lucifer's body.

Right, the Blood Guardian was now back in Lucifer's body, taking control over his body.

And this made the Blood Guardian move and inspect his surroundings in a hurry as he thought that something must have happened that would make him go back to his lord's body.

Even though the Blood Guardian did take the process seriously, that does not really mean that he would really leave Lucifer unattended.

The Blood Guardian left enough consciousness in Lucifer's body so that he would be able to return back immediately if something happens or endangers Lucifer's life.

However, even though the Blood Guardian inspected the surroundings really fact, he has found nothing that could possibly have triggered his return.josei

"Oh. You're awake? How did it go?" A voice familiar to the Blood Guardian resounded out in his ears.

Of course, this voice belonged to...Oumu, the one who suggested to the Blood Guardian that he should do and try to heal Lucifer's body manually instead of just letting things take their course.

The Blood Guardian then turned his head to Oumu, and spoke.

"What happened? Why did I return here?" The Blood Guardian said.

Of course, he asked that to Oumu.

But since Oumu has no idea what was going on and he did not know what the Blood Guardian did, it's not like Oumu would be able to answer his question.

It would be ridiculous to expect that Oumu would be able to answer his question.

"How would I know? Aren't you the one who should know about that? Besides, there are no real dangers at all. I've been guarding this place, after all." Oumu said those words while looking at the Blood Guardian.

However, Oumu was not done yet as he spoke.

"Besides, it's only been a couple of seconds since you tried to heal Lucifer's body yourself."

"Shouldn't you be there for a long amount of time? Look, Lucifer has not even shown any signs of waking up, so you probably did not do your job correctly."

Oumu said those words while looking at the Blood Guardian.

And what he said was the truth. It was the truth that the Blood Guardian only disappeared for a couple of seconds.

It was such a short amount of time that even Oumu, knowing that the Blood Guardian is a special creature made by the power of a Hell God, cannot believe that the Blood Guardian has already done his job.

It was something that Oumu would never believe, and he did not even become curious about it.

This just goes to show that even Oumu knows that there are boundaries here.

Besides, Oumu did know that the Blood Guardian has no idea how to heal Lucifer himself.

Even though the Blood Guardian is a special creature, he...would still take a time longer than a couple of seconds to master his ability.

That was why it was even weird that the Blood Guardian has already shown himself when Lucifer did not even show any signs of waking up.

Of course, the Blood Guardian heard what Oumu said.

And this was his reaction.

"That's true...but wait, a couple of seconds? I feel like I have been away for an amount of time longer than that..." The Blood Guardian said those words with a look of shock on his face.

He did not expect that something like this would happen. Well, it was natural for him to not expect something like this.

When the Blood Guardian tried to focus on himself and went on to his inner consciousness, it felt like time was passing so fast that the Blood Guardian had the worry that he should hurry up before something happens to Lucifer.

And now, Oumu was basically saying that only a couple of seconds has passed, and there is nothing to worry about.

That was something that the Blood Guardian did not expect in the first place.

Nevertheless, the Blood Guardian then decided to just unwrap this situation as he spoke.

"Wait...if there is no danger to my master, and I have returned to his body, not because I willed it, but because I was forced to....then does that mean that I have done my task?" The Blood Guardian said as he let his thoughts get wild.

Well, this was the only thing that he can rely on in order to find out what is going on in this current situation.

It was not really that bad. And what he said was the only conclusion that seems to be reasonable.

Of course, since he said those words, Oumu was also able to hear them.

"If you think you have done your task, then shouldn't it be better if you try to look at Lucifer's body yourself? It would be faster that way." Oumu said.

And what Oumu said made a lot of sense.

It was the truth that it would be faster if the Blood Guardian just took a look at Lucifer's body himself.

He would then be able to find out what is going on with his body.

Of course, since the Blood Guardian never really dared to look at his master's body without any permission, the Blood Guardian hesitated.

Ever since the Blood Guardian was created, he was already able to heal Lucifer just by being awake.

He did not have to mind anything at all, so he also did not really have the idea of how he would be able to look at his master's body to find out if he is already healed.

That was why it was not only the Blood Guardian's hesitation that prevented him from doing so, but it was also his lack of knowledge.

Of course, Oumu could see very well that the Blood Guardian is hesitating.

'Why the hell is he hesitating...does he really want to continue wasting time...' Oumu thought to himself.

Those were Oumu's honest thoughts. Lucifer's body is in terrible condition.

And if they kept wasting time, then that would mean serious trouble for the both of them.

After all, that would mean that Lucifer might die...and they would be the ones that could be considered witnesses to his death.

Oumu did not really know what it means to become a witness to a Hell God's death, but Oumu certainly did not even want to try and imagine it.

Hell, he did not even become curious about it.

This just goes to show that even Oumu knows that being a witness to a Hell God's death...would mean misery and misfortune for all his remaining life.

That was why Oumu did not really want to see the Blood Guardian hesitating like this and taking his time as time was of the essence right now.

However, as Oumu was looking at the Blood Guardian, he was then able to realize something was afoot.

Something was...strange, and Oumu could not really find out what it was.

He did not know, and it just itches him at the back of his mind that something is different.

Something is wrong.

And Oumu did not know what it was.

However...when the Blood Guardian moved his body, Oumu was soon able to find out what that strange thing was.

Why? It was because...the Blood Guardian...no, Lucifer talked to himself as he looked at his right arm.

"Hoh. My body is in better shape than before. Was this the Blood Guardian's work?" Lucifer said to himself as he looked at his body.

That was not all that he said as Lucifer continued to speak once more.

"No, the Blood Guardian is also affected by my condition. He should not be able to have healing powers like this anymore."

"But he is the only one who can do something like this."

"In other words, something must have happened that has caused his growth."

"Did he already take my soul into his consciousness?" Lucifer murmured to himself.

And what Lucifer murmured was the truth. The Blood Guardian has already finished taking the other half of his soul to his consciousness.

And because of that, he was returned back to Lucifer's body.

However, the Blood Guardian did not really heal Lucifer's body manually.

So it was quite strange that Lucifer was up and about right now.

But...that just goes to show how strong and powerful the Blood Guardian was now that he is complete.

He is able...to heal Lucifer's body to a much better shape even though his power is capped.

He did it without doing anything, too, just like always.

Of course, the Blood Guardian would also be able to do it manually, but...he was not given enough time.

It was because Lucifer has woken up now that his body was better.

"Interesting...the Blood Guardian should not be able to do this by himself..." Lucifer said as he turned his gaze towards Oumu.
