Chapter 512: Concerns

I had wondered if Black could had been a Will, but if he was really an immortal back then and somehow died but is back... perhaps he could be a split soul too.

It is between a Split Soul or a Will.

Ugh, I wish Belle could be awake, I would be able to talk with her about all we saw, but now, I must protect her and make her slowly heal herself, I cannot let her do anything rash...

This girl really saved me there... although she was the one that ended bringing me there, she took responsibility, but almost ended dead at the end, which makes me even more regretful.

Poor Belle...

Ugh, well, I have to get over it...

I doubt she would want me to get sad over her situation, right? I cannot be a softie over these things, I have to endure it and just continue moving on.

Now, back to the main topic...

Black.

He is the one behind this entire thing...

Could he had orchestrated the entire thing trying to invade both Sects to gain power from them? Maybe I should try to talk it out with everyone too, perhaps the ghosts as well.

Maybe Winter Lotus and Jade Snake's Sect Masters?

...Now, I would rather not bring them, if possible, they need to protect their sects from danger, I cannot really tell them to leave everything behind and come with me, it would be way too selfish, and it wouldn't really align with me.

I would prefer them to stay in their sects so if there is any surprise attack, they can defend them correctly. Because if that's the case I will also leave my troops in both sects to defend my territory.

After all, these sects are part of my Empire now, and are mine. I won't let anyone go ravage them and kill all the people there to steal their souls or whatever...

But now that this bastard of Black knows about me, he'll most likely begin a plan or something, fully expecting me to show up in the future.

Because of this I cannot really take it easy and wait days after days, I should act rather quick...

But without Belle backing me up...

I looked at Belle with a pitiful expression...

No, I cannot really force her, I have to leave her here resting, alongside my Benladann.

I cannot let both off them get hurt.

I need to make a meeting quickly, assemble everyone who's important in my Castle...

Benladann... Should I include her?

Well, she just woke up, and was looking at me with a sleepy expression.

"Drake? Good morning!" she said.

"G-Good morning..." I said with a faint smile.

I was really tired, and a bit surprised of what happened... My mind was in another place so I couldn't be as radiant as I am usually with her...

"W-What's wrong? Are you okay?" she asked nervously.

"Ahh... No... A lot happened in my sleep..." I sighed, while looking at Belle.

I decided to explain Benladann what happened, as she felt shocked.

"Ah... S-So that happened... Poor Belle, is she okay?" she asked.

"Yes, she's doing fine, I have used some slimes to constantly heal her while she rests... This is the most I can do for now." I sighed.

"I see, that's fine for now, sweetie, don't overpressure yourself over it... She'll be fine, she's a strong girl after all, she was made by the Venerable of dreams, right?" asked Benladann.

"You're right, she's pretty strong herself, I know I can count on her..." I said.

"Now... What happened just now... This... so he's the one behind it? this bastard of Greenwood..." sighed Benladann.

"He seems to be a resourceful son of a bitch... I think he has spread his forces across the entire world... Probably his machinations extend to many things at once, perhaps so many we cannot even guess them all..." I sighed.

"True... That battle you had against Black... I suppose you were able to win but the bastard ended detonating the entire thing... What a cheater, couldn't he accept his defeat?" sighed Benladann.

"Of course he won't, you know how Greenwood is, he is a cunning bastard, everything goes for him... Well, I am also going to become a cunning bastard and everything will go for me too, with these people you simply have to turn into them to defeat them..." I sighed.

"Yeah, we'll use all the cheap tricks we can!" said Benladann.

"Well, not you." I said.

"Eh?" she asked.

"Benladann you're pregnant and soon to give birth, I won't let you go towards the Dark Shadow Sect raid..." I said.

"Ohh... Eeeeh?! But I am strong! Sweetie, I can use Chaos Magic and Mold Magic! I don't even need to get closer to kill them off! You've seen my Chaos Magic before, right? Its crazy strong!" said Benladann.

"Yeah, I know, but that doesn't make you less pregnant, for the security of the baby, stay... Think of the baby, okay?" I asked.

"Sigh... I guess you're right, I shouldn't be so rash... But Miranda can go, right?" asked Benladann.

"Yeah, she can come... Do you have a plan or something?" I asked.

"Hehehe... Maybe... Recently we just unlocked some powers now, and I can do something similar to what she can do with me... I can share my powers with her if I go to sleep, and insert my mind into her own body, two minds into her body! How do you think about it?" she asked.

"Oh, I see! I guess you can come in such a way, but even then, don't let your soul get hurt..." I said.

"Don't worry about it, it's only my mind... And Miranda had grown stronger with me..." said Benladann.

Benladann was doing her best to convince me, so I couldn't really go against her at this point, and I ended nodding to her decision, at the very least she won't jump into danger herself but rather indirectly....
