Omega Summoner

Chapter 2289: First Challenge of a Noblesse I

The Noblesse Inner Demon of Adrian is indeed different from the others that a normal Daemos would have. Normal Inner demons are what people will describe as demonic because of their brash and destructive nature. It is also an alter ego of the Daemos if they lose control of their own power. It is what takes over a Daemos temporarily when they fail to defeat their inner demons to attain a higher Persona.

An inner demon that is intelligent is really out of the norm just like what Adrian has. It is not normal because intelligent inner demons that have full control over instincts can wreak havoc and untold destruction. Unlike a normal inner demon that would usually just rampage and destroy the area around them, an intelligent inner demon meant they could even manipulate the real ego into doing things without being noticed.

”You are talking about the Asmodian blood flowing in the veins of the young mediator.” Guru Polliwog stated as he already knew that Adrian is different from a normal descendant of the Asmodians.

”It seems that this old man has already felt the power within our veins. He is not as ordinary as he seems despite the fact that he was a bit strange during our first encounter with him.” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated as he cheekily poked Adrianʼs shoulder.

”I already know that he is not normal the moment he is able to enter our soul depths. I might even say he is one of the most courageous beings we encountered as well. Even the Gods of Death do not dare invade here because of you or that other thing sleeping deeper.” Adrian stated as he could feel there was another him sleeping or observing from afar.

”You actually agree that your inner demon is correct! You are indeed a very strange kid to even agree with your inner demon.” Guru Polliwog stated as he has met a lot of Daemos back when he was younger that told him about their struggles with their inner demons.

In fact, the state of easily slipping inside the depths of the soul of another being is due to Guru Polliwog defeating his own so called inner demon. He is able to manipulate his soul power because he has already completely understood himself as a being. He conquered even his own fears and evil thoughts that manifested in an evil version of him. He essentially defeated his own ʼinner demonʼ, but this is the first time he saw another converse with it.

”This other me is still me even if it is my own inner demon. What is wrong with conversing with it?” Adrian stated which startled Guru Polliwog because the latter did not detect any lies from what the former said.

”The visitor is quite perplexed by our situation as if he cannot grasp such a simple concept. Anyways, I already know why you are here. Still, I will give you the pleasure to ask me since it has been quite a while to see you.” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated as it vanished from Adrianʼs side and appeared on the throne located beneath the mysterious soul root tree inside of Adrian.

”Tell me how to stop my cravings. You know what I am referring to as I lose control of my body when shards of Chaos are present in the area. If you can also tell me the reason for this strange impulse, then that would be good.” Adrian stated.

”Your body is now in a state of energy exhaustion because it cannot sustain itself from what is happening. The fusion of Nether and Aether energy to form that energy deep in your soul has already used more resources than your own soul can produce. For now, it is being supplemented whenever you devour a fragment of Chaos as the energy in those can be extremely nourishing for you.” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.

”What is it saying, young mediator?” Guru Polliwog asked Adrian as he did not hear anything that the Noblesse Inner Demon said but the intent in the statements is true.

”It is better if you do not tell the visitor about what I have said to not complicate things. He can still verify if I am speaking the truth, but we all know that I do not lie.” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.

”He is telling me the state of my body. That is all I can tell you for now but please alert me if there is any lies you can detect.” Adrian stated as the Noblesse Inner Demon is content that the body owner is not trusting of a visitor.

”How can I fix myself then?” Adrian asked as the Noblesse Inner Demon basically told him that he is broken to some extent as he is lacking.

”You have already passed all the preliminary tests. I think it is time for you to finally challenge me. Even if you needed the help of another being to reach the depths of your soul, you have managed to open the path and will be able to come here by yourself from now own. Are you ready for my challenges, Equinox?” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.

[You have passed all of the required things to challenge the last inner demon present in your soul.]

[Do you wish to start the challenge?]

”Will it be a series of tests? Unlike the others that only needed some things to be accomplished and a battle, it seems that this will be a long journey.” Adrian stated.

”Of course, a Noblesse is different from an Arch Demon after all. All demons will bow before you and with the purity of our Asmodian blood… becoming Demon King might not be impossible. Let me ask you again, do you wish to start my challenge?” The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.

”I detect no deceit nor lies from him, young mediator.” Guru Polliwog commented as he stuck to observing.

”I accept. I have been growing tired of not being able to challenge the gods that torment this world by myself.” Adrian stated which made his inner demon smile.
