The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]

Chapter 657 - FINALLY BACK



LUO YAN and Shen Ji Yun were now climbing on a long and winding staircase that would lead them to the top of the tower where Beelzebub was.  When they reached the tower area earlier, they hardly felt the presence of any dragons nearby.  That's why they were able to arrive here much faster.  The archdemon must have done something for that to happen.     

Anyway, Luo Yan was glad for that.  At least they didn't need to waste time worrying if those dragons would see them and cause them trouble.

He looked around while climbing.  The inside of the tower was very dark and almost empty.  If not for the crystal lights hanging on the wall, darkness would be the first thing that would welcome them.  The archdemon also seemed to be not into decorating.  As could be seen by how the interior of the tower looked like. 

"Brother Ji Yun, do you think Dusk will be alright once he met that guy?" he suddenly thought of asking.

"I think he'll be fine.  He has a very strong mentality.  As evidence of how he could remain calm despite everything that had happened yesterday and today as well," Shen Ji Yun responded.  "And even if he broke down because of his meeting with the archdemon, it doesn't matter.  Because we'll be there to pick up the pieces."

Luo Yan was a bit surprised hearing that last part.  Then, he smiled.  It seemed that the events of yesterday and today made Shen Ji Yun like the black dragon a little bit more. 

He felt relieved because of that.  At least now, if ever the two ended up having a master-pet contract like him and Eclipse, it was not because Shen Ji Yun was forced by him.  But because the other genuinely liked Dusk. 

"Yes, Brother Ji Yun is right," he said, agreeing to what the other said.

A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the top of the tower.  Just like yesterday, the archdemon was still standing at the center of the room.  The only difference was that there was no hood covering the upper half of his face.  Now, they could clearly see the eyes that were unique to archdemons. 

"I didn't expect you would be here this early," the archdemon commented when the two of them walked into the room.  "You did not come here to tell me you failed, right?"

Luo Yan felt the corner of his lips twitching.  He almost yelled curses at the guy.  "Wow, I can feel your unwavering trust in us," he said sarcastically.  Then he took the black crystal where the body of the archdemon was.  He then threw that to where the other was standing.  Beelzebub easily caught it.  "There's your body, asshole."

The archdemon gazed down at the black crystal, his eyes widening a bit in surprise.  Then, he raised his head and looked at them.  "You succeeded."

"Yeah, obviously.  Or do you actually don't want us to succeed?" Luo Yan said, already irritated.

"Does that mean you destroyed Achaeus and killed the Dark Saint?"

Luo Yan only gave the archdemon a look as if asking, 'do you even need to ask?'.

Beelzebub suddenly laughed.  Like he just heard something unbelievable and crazy.  "You really did what you told me you would do.  It seemed that I really didn't bet in the wrong people."

Luo Yan rolled his eyes.  "Just get on with it and return to your body so you could do your end of the deal."

The archdemon chuckled.  "Fine.  Then, move back a bit.  You're standing on the magic circle."

Luo Yan looked down but didn't see any magic circle.  Still, both he and Shen Ji Yun moved back a bit.

Beelzebub took out the body from the black crystal and laid it on where he was standing which was the very center of the room.  He stared at the body with nostalgia, as if it had been a while since he had last seen his own body.

He kneeled on the side of the body and put a hand over its chest.  He said some kind of incantation and some kind of seal appeared.  The seal looked like strip of ribbons surrounding the whole body.  After that, a magic circle appeared on the ground, Beelzebub and the body being its center.

As the magic circle glowed more brightly, the strips started to break one by one.  When all of it broke, a dark orb came out of the dark mage's body that the archdemon was occupying.  That dark orb then entered the real body of the archdemon.  The moment that happened, the body of the dark mage fell down like a lifeless doll. 

The body of the archdemon started to float.  Then, a very strong and penetrating Mana filled the air. 

Luo Yan felt like there was electricity running across his skin.  It was not the good kind but the very uncomfortable one.  He was thinking of how to make the situation a bit better when Shen Ji Yun suddenly stood in front of him.  Because of that the overwhelming Mana that the archdemon's body no longer reached and affected him.

He looked at the other's wide back and he couldn't stop the smile that crossed his lips.  He just felt a bit comfortable.  Shen Ji Yun must have seen that and his first reaction was to cover him like this.  And Luo Yan only felt sweet in his heart.

He actually wanted to say that he was fine and the other didn't need to do this but he changed his mind at the last second.  Being protected like this from time to time was also not that bad.  At least, he could feel that kind of elation that only people in love could feel.

After the Mana finally became stable enough and no longer going haywire, they saw the archdemon's body was no longer floating.  It was now standing on the ground with the long black hair moving wildly as if it was being blown by a strong wind.  Then, slowly, the body opened its eyes. 

    They were as dark as an abyss.  The only color besides black could be found in the eyes red vertical pupils.

Beelzebub, who was now back in his own body, finally showed a smile..  "Ah, I'm finally back."
