Instead of being worried about the possibility of the dead being able toe back, Lancaster''s mind went straight to the possibility of his parents being able toe back to life.


    Just like As had someone he cared about that he wanted back, Lancaster also had people. Instead of feeling weird about the desire to bring the dead back, he was able to understand where As wasing from.


    "So, is it really possible?" He asked again just to be sure that As wasn''t joking with him


    "Yes, it''s really possible. But not yet. I''ll tell you more about it when we have everything that we need..."


    Lancaster could see that As was keeping some things secret. It was as if he was intentionally being vague to some extent. Maybe because he was worried about being betrayed since his sister''s future was on the line. He understood that he might have done the same thing if he was in As'' ce. Trust was in its own ce, but the family had an importance of their own.


    There were more factors at y than just trust, including the matter that Lancaster was very weak. Even if he was trustworthy, the enemies were many who could catch Lancaster. They were essentially going against the gods of this world.


    If even An could be caught, then Lancaster was nothing. Just because An was able to go through the torture doesn''t mean everyone could go through the same, especially Lancaster, who was very young and wasn''t Immortal like them.


    This news about how one could bring the dead back isn''t something that could be allowed to leak.


    Lancaster also realized the intricacies behind the secret. He didn''t really ask too much. If he needed to wait to see how it worked, then that''s what he was willing to do. He had been without his family for a long time. A few weeks were not too muchpared to that.


    The thing worth importance was that there was a possibility of being able to bring the dead back to the life. That was all he needed to know.


    "I will be with you until the end. We will bring Mise back to life." Lancaster agreed. He didn''t mention anything about wanting to bring his family back as well. He left that for thetter. He wanted to ask at the right time when As was in a good mood. As for the right time, it was when Mise was back.


    "By the way, there was something I wanted to talk to you about as well," Lancaster stated, remembering that there was still something he needed As to do for him.


    It was already the next day, and soon, it was going to be the night of the full moon. Not only did he need to convince As to fight him, but also to do it when he was at his wild self.


    "What help? I doubt we have time to take a detour since we''re in a hurry, but if it''s possible to help you without changing paths, then I''ll try to do my best."


    As didn''t realize what Lancaster wanted to ask, but he still agreed, as long as it didn''t waste too much time. He only had a month to find the remaining two key Fragments and to get to the vige.


    One month was barely enough to achieve all this.


    "We won''t need to take a detour. We''ll just have to stop for a night," Lancaster answered. "And it has to be tonight."<novelnext></novelnext>


    "Stop tonight? For what?" As frowned, confusion filled. He looked at Lilith, trying to gauge her reaction. She was so calm that it was as if she knew what Lancaster was going to ask.


    "I want you to fight me tonight after I turn... I want you to fight me when I''m at my worst. And I want you to give it your all in the battle," Lancaster responded.


    He started speaking about why he wanted that, including what Castiel told him and how this was the only way for him to be stronger faster and control his other self to fully utilize his royal Bloodline.


    As remembered the moment when Castiel told Lancaster to be stronger. His soul was up at that time, but even he didn''t realize that the only way to do that was to fight him.


    When Lancaster was in his Beastly Form, that was when he was at his strongest. However, tonight, he was going to be even stronger since tonight was the full moon.


    Before this, every full moon, they had been keeping Lancaster tied, so he could''ve run wild. But this time, they had to let him be free. Not only was he going to be free, but he was going to attack him.


    As had practiced fighting with Lancaster, but that was all when Lancaster was inplete control. During the battle, both of them could go easy, without worrying about seriously being hurt or hurting anyone, but without control, the battle could bepletely different.


    Moreover, now that As knew how the mark of protection deteriorated, he realized that it was based on how much strength he used. The one-month of estimate that was given to him by Castiel was depending on him using his strength only when it was absolutely necessary. If he used his strength here, the time was only going to decrease. Even he didn''t know how much it could go down."


    "So, will you fight me? I really need your help... I want strength, and only you can lead me to it. Also, it won''t be long! I''m sure I can gain control within an hour if I try my best! I am confident about it!"


    As looked down as if he was looking at the floor. However, he was immersed in his own thoughts, trying to see how he could do it without losing time.


    ''If I fight, I''ll have to use my strength. And it''ll be a fierce battle, so I won''t be able to hold back. But if Lancaster can be stronger, he can help me even more in battles against the Blood Council and the future.''


    ''Castiel also told him to be stronger, so there must be a reason.''


    After checking the risks, the benefits, and the words of Castiel, As finally came to a decision.


    "Fine. I''ll do it." He raised his head, nodding in agreement. "I''ll fight you."


    "If you two have decided, then so be it." Lilith had left the decision on As. Now that he agreed, she didn''t oppose either. Thus, it was finalized that As was going to didn''t Lancaster.
