With shrunken pupils, Chinonso stared with trepidation at the blood red scroll that emerged from the crack, The bloody air around it was so thick to the point of actually manifesting into existence, The trembling of the blood realm seemed to be a grand welcome for the emergence of this blood red scroll.
The instant he heard the word's **Demonic Blood Art's** coupled with the emergence of the inheritance, a wave was set off in Chinonso's head especially the word's Demonic!.
it didn't take a genius to know that this inheritance was a truly terrifying one!.
Although it was incredible without a doubt when he recalled that he would have to continuously use this demonic art without dropping it in the near future, It made him feel conflicted.
On one hand this was a chance to reach an incredible peak he never could have imagined but on the other hand if he continued to practice such a Demonic inheritance then the only path awaiting him was most likely a Devilish one.
[**The Prince of Darkness:** You have nothing to fear, Your System Assistant can't interfere in our conversation so don't feel pressured, Now answer me Young Man....] As if noticing the boy's chaotic emotions, He tried reassuring him so he calm down, As for Why he should even be worried or how that was even possible, Chinonso simply wasn't interested in knowing.
[**The Prince of Darkness**: *Are you willing?*]
"I.....Am-Not" Chinonso's said after remaining silent for so long.
[**The Prince of Darkness:** *And if I may ask, Why that is?*] Dracula asked in return only this time with a bone piercing chill in his tone, in that instant Chinonso felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.
"Please don't be offended great Prince but If one gain's the world yet loses his soul, What would they benefit?" Chinonso clasped his hand's together with his head bowed lightly as he stared ahead, instead of staring at the terrifying blood red scroll, his faltering gaze seemed to by pass it, staring silently into the distance.
" If I we're to practice your Demonic Blood Art's there'd be no telling how Demonic I'd end up in the future..., My faith may not be different than that of a devil's " Chinonso's hands reached to grasp at the void only to clench his hand, his head shook lightly before Continuing.
" Judging from your past legendary feats I might just be regarded as one of the world's most notorious villains" He smiled sheepishly.
[....if you think the price of winning is too high then I suggest you wait for the bill of regret..., Because the bill of regret is generational!] This time the void trembled uncontrollably with Dracula's primordial voice.
"..." Chinonso's brow's creased together, he remained silent on hearing his word's.
The Counts simple words felt like a heavy wave crashing into him, The more the word's replayed in his mind the more he felt like his decision might not be right and he began to falter.
His eyes soon turned misty with a hint of melancholy within them.
"....!"
While he was busy pondering those word's, he suddenly felt a splash of water on his face, Within the blood realm he couldn't find any trace of water at all.
He thought he might be hallucinating, Yet he was sure he felt that clear splash on his face and he was definitely sure it didn't come from the turbulent blood sea beneath him.
The Prince of Darkness as well was stunned, he remembered clearly that he had warned the Sea creature and reptilian to not interfere yet when the shark saw the scorpion's melancholic expression he quickly tried to snap him out of it.
The Prince was naturally displeased by this, If not for the fact that this creature was greatly acquainted with the black scorpion he would've taught this guppy a lesson.
" How?!" Chinonso asked feeling completely clueless as to why he would suddenly be splashed.
" Snap out of it already!" He heard Kosi's voice Infront of him yet he couldn't see him.
Chinonso was not an idiot so he guessed that his younger brother had splashed water on his real body but this caused him to be even more confused.
' Does this mean that this is all in my mind or am I actually in a different plane of existence?' he wondered while recalling the several stories, comics and anime he'd seen about the matter.
He didn't have enough time to think because he heard Kosi's voice once again.
" What's wrong with you!"
" I was having a nice nap yet you had to wake me up!, Not only that but you didn't let me speak!, instead your over there beating yourself up for who knows what!"
Chinonso's head was soaked wet with a bewildered expression on his face, He turned towards his brother Kosi's direction who was glaring daggers at him from the water, Though he couldn't see him, he could still trace the location of his voice which was filled with irritation, Nevertheless Chinonso's brotherly instincts were still able to notice the hidden worry within them.
