Book 10: Chapter 106: Help3

“You… Why are you saying such things… I don’t… I don’t understand.”

Junior… No, Dyon turned, floating to Lilith’s side and gently placing a hand on her cheek.

“There are certain matters that I can’t explain in their entirety to you. Although I’m a masochist, some would also call me quite intelligent. If I tell you too much, my main body will comprehend things too quickly, and too soon. If he does, it could ruin the plans we’ve laid out so diligently. In fact, doing so could destroy everything.”

Lilith subconsciously leaned into Dyon’s hand, her eyes closing. She felt a sense of security she never had before, even when she was by her father’s side.

“What I can tell you is that there is currently a very powerful seal on my soul. That seal has three layers, two of which have already been broken. But, the first two layers cannot be compared to the last. If that seal breaks on the Mortal Plane, even with the protections I’ve put in place, everything would be destroyed. The only way to safely break the final seal is to ascend to a new plane entirely, a Realm will not do…”

Lilith shook herself awake, blushing as a result of her inexplicable actions. She tried to take a step back, but Dyon grabbed her wrist lightly before she could. He didn’t put a lot of strength into it, but she somehow found she couldn’t place distance between them no matter how hard she tried.

“This seal…” She said softly. “… Why is it that it only affects your main body? Why aren’t you as clueless as your other self?”

Dyon sighed. “Though my soul can be duplicated, it is impossible to duplicate that seal. From the moment I was born, I was aware of many things my main body was not. However, I’ve been pretending to be a different person all these years.

“My main body believes I didn’t inherit his soul talent, when the truth is that my slow soul cultivation is a result of me using much of my soul strength to hide my real thoughts from him.

“Also, I’ve had no choice but to slow my soul cultivation. If I allowed my soul strength to grow at its normal pace, when the day came that I fused with my main body once more to complete the perfect constitution, the combining of our soul strengths would once again cause my plan to accelerate faster than it should.”

“Then… Why are you telling me all of this?” Lilith asked softly. “Wouldn’t it be better to not tell me at all?”

“For two reasons.” Dyon said with a light smile. “For one, I couldn’t stand to see you suffer like this any longer. My main body would never tell you the truth, but I want you to know that you are loved.”

“But why… why do you love me?” Lilith looked up, looking toward Dyon with an expectant gaze.

Dyon laughed heartily, pulling Lilith into his arms and kissing her forehead.

“You are my little warrior. Of my wives, only Amphorae loves battle as much as you do. You’re a strong woman with a stubborn mind even though you’ve spent the last 5 years sniveling like a little baby.”

Lilith probably would have been enraged if these words were said by anyone else, but hearing them come from Dyon, she couldn’t help but pout. She really had acted out of character these past few years, as though she really was nothing but a weak woman.

However, this was just the effect Dyon’s betrayal had had on her.

“That Nightmare Palace has made you cold and distant, but I know that my little Lilith loves fun and being carefree the most. I’ve seen the way you played with your two little brothers. That’s the Lilith I know.”

Lilith blushed, hiding her head in Dyon’s chest.

“This is your dao, to be carefree… To not worry about the future as though the future is infinite… Your dao of immortality, this is its root.”

Lilith trembled fiercely. She had never told anyone this, not even her own father. It was impossible for Dyon to know this… Unless…

Lilith looked up and into Dyon’s eyes. She found the same gaze she had seen all these years, that tender love and affection that had annoyed her so many times before… But now, it only filled her with warmth.

She knew that Dyon wasn’t speaking empty words. He really did know her… She didn’t understand how he understood her so deeply, but it somehow didn’t matter to her anymore… All that mattered was that this was now their truth…

“The second reason I’ve told you this now is because I need your help.” Dyon said softly.

“Anything.” Lilith responded immediately.

“First…” Dyon waved his arm. A moment later, there weren’t just two in the skies without a care for the Embryonic Infernal Beasts battling to the death around them, but three.

Lilith blinked. “Saru?”

Suddenly, a bit of understanding flashed in Lilith’s dark black eyes as she took a step back from Dyon’s embrace. The look in Saru’s eyes when she looked toward Dyon was the very same look she imagined she had…

“I will have to rely on the two of you. Soon, a certain series of events will occur that will spiral the Mortal Plane into chaos, however my main body will not be here when this happens… Whether my main body wants to or not, the catalyst for these events will uncontrollably send him to the Immortal Plane. When this happens, the three of us must be with him.”

Dyon grabbed Saru and Lilith’s small, soft hands into his own. Saru’s delicate brown skin, Lilith boneless fair skin… They felt so good in his hands. Memories of a time long passed uncontrollably sped through his mind.

“As for this Mortal Plane… We will have to entrust it with the others of our Sacharro Clan and pray that they hold on until we return.”
