Chapter 154: First Door
"N-no...Right, let's do it." Aimon said as he tried to shake off his thoughts and feelings.
Although Aimon was charmed by Desire, that doesn't mean that he couldn't get a grip on himself.
He certainly could do something like that, and that was why he did it right now.
After all, this...attraction and charmed were just too weird even for Aimon.
Even if this Desire was really and truly Him, that doesn't mean that Aimon could act weakly and meekly.
Aimon was a proud demon! Something like acting so weakly in front of a child is something that could not easily be forgiven!
What was worse was that...Aimon didn't know if Desire was truly Him.
That was why acting like this when it was not even confirmed would just bring shame to Aimon's name.
"Good." Desire said as he looked at Aimon.
Although Desire didn't give a fuck about Aimon's feelings or something like that, Desire was relieved to know that Aimon...was calm and all right now.
After all, Desire could pick up Aimon's feelings of nervousness or something like that.
Desire didn't want to have Aimon operate on him when Aimon was shaking and feeling scared.
That was why it was, at least, relief for Desire to see that Aimon was alright now.
Well, after this, Desire probably won't even bat an eye towards Aimon.
Anyway, as things were good to go now, Desire...moved his hands as he turned around.
Desire knew where his Spiritual Vein and that was why he turned his back towards Aimon.
It seems that he was awake when Aimon started to do his thing with Desire's Spiritual Vein and Core.
It was weird if you think about how Desire didn't react or scream in pain at all, but that was probably how strong this Desire was.
Anyway, Desire then made some signs with his hands as he interlocked them together.
And the sign that he made was...the sign for opening one's body.
It was the same sign when the normal Desire's instincts took over and literally 'opened' his body when he was forming his body foundation.
And it seems that this sign was not just for opening one's body, but also for one's Path.
Right, Desire had already opened his Path, but nothing significant happened.
No change in pressure and the mood didn't become dark. There was also no change in his body or something like that.
That was why Aimon didn't know that, and it seems that Desire was aware of that as he spoke.
"What are you waiting for? Do it."
"You should be able to find it more easily now."
And right after saying those words, Desire turned his head backward as he looked at Aimon.
His piercing blue eyes were just mesmerizing, and with his black hair, Desire...was just majestic.
And it was with that majestic look that Desire spoke once more with a heavy tone.
"Don't disappoint me, mortal."
Don't disappoint me. Those words resounded out in Aimon's heart, and it...created some sort of pressure on Aimon.
After all, Desire basically said that he was counting on Aimon.
Although Aimon has calmed himself now, those words would definitely affect him!
And the effects were clear as Aimon could feel his heart beating fast right now.
Of course, his heart was not beating fast because of some bullshit called love.
Although Aimon was a fallen demon, he was not a psycho.
His heart...was beating so fast because it was excited for what would happen. No, Aimon himself was excited.
Even though Aimon tried to suppress it, Aimon couldn't deny it.
That was why Aimon had a thin smile on his face right now. Of course, even Aimon didn't know why.
However, Aimon didn't have to know why, and Aimon...just let himself drown in those feelings of his.
It was then that Aimon finally got started as he looked at Desire's Spiritual Vein and Core.
Of course, Aimon had his 10 golden needles out and he quickly stabbed Desire's Spiritual Vein and Core once again.
As this was the natural process, it was something that must be done.
And as soon as the 10 needles were in, Aimon quickly tried to look for the hidden doors.
Although Aimon was not able to find it before, Aimon, right now, was confident in being able to find it.
After all, he was being helped by Desire, and Desire himself said that he would open up his Path.
Aimon didn't know what the Path was, but he just trusted Desire that it would change things.
He just trusted Desire that it would actually be able to help him in finding Desire's locked doors.
And as if it were all magic...Aimon was able to find it without much time passing.
'I found it!' Aimon thought as he looked at Desire's Spiritual Vein.
The locked doors were right inside the Spiritual Vein. It was weird if you think about how a door could not possibly fit inside a person's Spiritual Vein.
After all, if you think about where the Spiritual Vein was located, it was really small.
It was just the body of a child, or, even if you generalize it, the body of a human.
However, the Spiritual Vein was magical. That was why these locked doors were able to fit in.
Anyway, when Aimon found it, he quickly tried to get it with the five golden needles.
As only one hand was piercing Desire's Spiritual Vein, there would only be five golden needles that Aimon could use.
However, it seems that was not a problem as Aimon...was able to get close to Desire's locked doors.
Although it seemed like it was such an easy task, it was actually not.
In fact, it was so taxing that even though he just moved the five golden needles Aimon was sweating buckets.
What's worse was that he could feel his arm getting heavier, and his body feeling the pressure.
He only used his hands to secure his hold on a locked door, but the aftereffects were already this bad.
And that only means one thing.
'Opening them won't be as easy as how I opened my disciple's...'
