Desire opened his eyes as he felt his consciousness return.

However, Desire was still feeling tired even though he just woke up.

His sleep...was just that good, as he fell asleep even though Jarina was sucking out his mana.

"Hmm." Desire hummed as he looked at the ceiling.

This was the third time that Desire was waking up in this room, and it was still dark.

It was just weird, but Desire guessed that no light could enter this room.

Desire then looked at the side where he could feel some weight weighing him down.

And when he did, there was only one thing that he could think of.

'Mountain...?'

Mountain. It was not only one, but two of them! It was a mountain that Desire hasn't seen before.

And that mountain was the one that was weighing down on Desire.

The mountain was touching his shoulders and his head, as Desire was a child.

And when Desire looked down a little bit, he soon saw an arm that was hugging him.

"Oh, it's Jarina." Desire said as he looked up.

The one that was hugging him and the one who had mountains weighing down on him was Jarina, of course.

It seems that Jarina has fallen asleep while sucking his mana and just decided to sleep on Desire's bed.

Well, Desire didn't really mind it.

However...when Desire looked down, there was something that was standing tall in the air.

It was in the shape of a sword, and it was as sharp as the sharpest one!

And what's more, Desire could remember this sword.

"This happened before...hmmm. Is there something wrong with my body?"

Desire thought as he looked at the...sword. Although he didn't know why this kept happening to him, Desire thought that it was something wrong with him.

After all, this already happened before, and Desire didn't know anything about it.

That was why he could only think that there was something wrong with his body.

"Hmmm." Desire hummed as he used a skill.

He used the Body Control Skill to make the sword go down to its normal size.

However, it seems that the sword was tenacious and strong as it was able to stay even with Desire using the Body Control Skill!

"Why, you!" Desire said as he used the skill one more time.

He used all that he could to make sure that the sword won't go up once more.

However...the sword just won't go down.

Well, mountains were weighing down on his body. Though, Desire didn't know that was the reason.

And because Desire was so active in trying to bring the sword down, Jarina noticed it.

"Hmm~" Jarina let out some sound as she moved her body.

She then raised her arms as she rubbed her eyes.

However, that was not all she did as she then proceeded to hug Desire tighter.

"Hmmm." Jarina let out some sound once more as she moved her legs.

She raised her right leg and placed them on top of Desire's legs.

However, Jarina didn't stop at all. She kept raising her right leg that Desire thought Jarina would touch the sword!

"W-wait. J-Jarina?" Desire stuttered as he didn't want to wake up Jarina in this situation.

After all, Desire feels that it would be embarrassing if Jarina somehow saw the sword.

Desire couldn't explain why he thought that it would be embarrassing.

It was just on his mind.

That was why he was panicking after a long time! Even in a dangerous situation, Desire wouldn't panic!

"Jarinaaaa..." Desire shouted out weakly.

After all, he didn't want to wake up Jarina just because he felt embarrassed.

And because Jarina wouldn't wake up 'accidentally,' Desire had his eyes wide open as he watched Jarina raise her right leg.

It seems Jarina was really comfortable as she kept raising her right leg.

However, right before Jarina's right leg touch Desire's sword, Jarina miraculously stopped!

Right, she stopped raising her legs as she made herself comfortable!

The distance between the sword and her right leg was by a hair's breadth, and Desire was truly glad that she stopped.

"Phew." Desire breathed out a sigh of relief.

However, Desire didn't slack off one bit after Jarina stopped.

He then focused all of his being on making that sword go down with the skill and willpower!

"Go down! Go down! Go down!" Desire murmured as he wished for the sword's demise!

It was indeed a tough battle! Desire was even sweating!

It was weird for him to sweat as even the Burning Air Trial had to pass for a couple of seconds for him to start sweating!

Desire put in great efforts in winning this battle, and he did it!

The sharp and steady sword standing somewhere on his lower body finally went down!

Desire won the hardest battle in his life, as Jarina's right leg was there pressuring him!

"Haaa." Desire's breathing was rough as he tried to calm himself.

He didn't expect that it would be like this right after waking up!

Desire felt so tired and wasted that he could probably sleep again.

However, Desire didn't want to as he tried raising his body.

He then grabbed Jarina's arms with his hand as he moved her arm away.

Desire didn't want to wake up Jarina when she was sleeping so peacefully.

When Desire was done moving Jarina's arm away, he then raised his body as he sat up.

When he sat up, he moved Jarina's leg away from him.

After all, Desire wanted to stand up.

Desire then went out of the bed as he stood up.

There was one thing that he wanted to do ever since he first woke up.

And that was checking his body.

Desire proceeded to check his body without leaving a single part unturned.

After all, this was his body.

He wanted to be sure in case something was wrong with it.

And after some minutes have passed, Desire finally finished with checking.

"There's nothing wrong. I guess Heavenly Demon did do something to help balance my vessel."
