It wasn't a thing to lament upon, as I already had many and would garnish even more. Yet, I didn't want my pearl to fall in the hands of my enemies.
The odds were equal, and so I couldn't tell who would possess the pearl. "I have to be ready," I muttered before entering again into the prison to find my demon already finished absorbing the pearl's energy.
"Master, finally you came."
The first thing I heard was his familiar voice. Wow, I was so rejoiced at this moment like never, yet he hurried to add, "I'm not fully recovered yet. These pearls will give me only a day's worth of clarity, then I will return to that dream state like before."
"Only a day?" I was stupefied at his response!
"Yes, the pearl only gives me one day, and I can't take over one per day. It's really much powerful than the usual pearls you initially had."
