It didn't take long for Desire to finish absorbing everything there is to absorb in the Blessings of Tear.

Well, he literally absorbed the Blessings of Tear, and he was now just lying in the...ground.

However, if there were anything that changed in him, that would be that his skin returned back to normal.

Of course, the other two people here could see that very well as they just looked at Desire with weird eyes.

It was then that Lionel spoke with a rough voice while keeping his eyes peeled open as he just looked at Desire.

"Aimon, is there...anyone who has experienced something like this besides this little bastard?"

"Is there an event where the Blessings of Tear would be absorbed all of a sudden?"

Lionel then looked back at the place where the Blessings of Tear were falling.

He looked at the place where the waterfall was falling.

It was the place where the rigorous flow of water kept falling, but now...

It was empty.

The Blessings of Tear were no longer there, and it looked just like a steep road.

The water that keeps on splashing people if one is too near was no longer there.

Of course, that was because of what happened with Desire.

What just happened was...unheard of. There was nothing like this even in the history of the whole world.

It was then that Aimon spoke as his left eye stared straight at the sleeping Desire.

"No...I have lived for a long time now. This is the first time I have seen something like this."

What Aimon said was the truth. He has lived for hundreds of years now, but there was no one who did the same as what Desire did.

Aimon was confident that there was no one else who absorbed the Blessings of Tear while building one's foundation.

Why? This event was just that special, and it would be etched on his memory.

That was why Aimon would easily remember it even if it were from a few hundred years ago.

And the fact that he couldn't remember anything means that it didn't happen.

"Phew." Aimon sighed as he shook his head.

This event was just too shocking, and that was why he needed to get a grip on himself.

Of course, it's not like this was really a big thing. It was just surprising that a really expensive item from a Dungeon would be absorbed by a child.

However, this event would truly be remarkable only if Desire got something out of it.

No matter how impossible the event was, as long as nothing could be obtained from it, no one would remember it.

Nothing would go down in history, and one's name would be just forgotten.

However, if Desire were able to get something extraordinary from all the water that he absorbed, this...

That would mean that it was something, and many men who would learn this would try to absorb the Blessings of Tear.

Of course, they would target Desire first for information, and that was why Lionel spoke.

"Don't tell anyone about this."

And that was the only thing he said.

Of course, Aimon could understand what Lionel meant by those words.

He wasn't stupid, and besides, it's not like Aimon would just betray Lionel when they already made a deal.

What's more, they were friends. It would just be ridiculous if Aimon were to just broadcast things about Lionel's disciple.

After all, Aimon can't even go out of his hiding place without a guard or someone to hide him.

It was then that Aimon spoke once more as he turned his head to look at Lionel.

"What do we do? Do we wait for him to wake up or what?"

As Desire just went through such a...new event, both of these strong men didn't know what to do.

However, since Lionel was Desire's master, Lionel would have the authority to decide in this situation.

Of course, Lionel knew that as well, which is why he smiled.

His smile showed off his fangs, and this smile...was the smile that Desire was familiar with.

Well, Desire wasn't familiar with it because of good reasons, and it was obvious why.

"I'll wake him up." Lionel said with that same smile.

He then walked up towards Desire, and he just grabbed him...by the neck!

It was something one wouldn't normally do in a situation where the person might be injured!

However, Lionel didn't seem to care about that at all as he just slapped Desire!

Clap!

Of course, Lionel didn't stop there at all as he continued slapping him so fast that...Desire's cheeks became swollen all of a sudden.

And Aimon just watched that as he shook his head.

"Hah. What did I expect from this idiot?"

Indeed, Lionel was an idiot for treating a child like this, but well.

Considering that this was training time, it was Desire's fault for falling asleep.

After all, Lionel already told him that he should endure! And the fact that he fell asleep means that he didn't endure!

That is something that could be considered punishable.

Clap!

The sound of Lionel's hands hitting Desire's cheeks resounded out in this place.

And it wouldn't be long till Desire wakes up once more.

****

In a place where there was a castle standing tall in the desolate land, there was a single person living there.

The person living in the castle was a woman, and she was just sitting on a chair.

No, was it even a chair? The chair was so...glorious that it looked like it was a throne.

Well, it was indeed a throne.

Anyway, the woman was just sitting down on it as her black hair flowed down to the floor.

It was then that the woman looked up at the ceiling.

However, the woman was looking at something different with her red eyes.

What she was seeing was...lights. Right, lights were all she saw.

And there was a...small light there. The woman was looking at that small light.
