Adrian is now sure upon seeing the soul that is flickering inside of the pendant that is hanging around Imiter''s neck as a ne. The pendant has something hidden inside and that surely is a fragment of Abel''s soul. He did not know how the little boy got it, but he must get the ne at all costs.


    "I just do not feel happy trying to cheat a small boy. Then again, my sister did tell me that if another party has something you can provide and you have something you want then it is a transaction. Also, his soul looks too old for his own age." Adrian thought as he looked at Imiter.??


    "I have information about defeating the dark god in the Imperial capital. Is that not enough?" Imiter stated.


    "You are actually trying to cheat a young kid? I did not know that the Demon will be truly devilish." Lime stated in a rather unhappy tone as she seems to know of Imiter''s attachment to the ne.


    "I already know how to kill a dark god. The only problem is the process of making that a reality. So, in reality, your offer of information is not that valuable to me which is why I told you to hand me down that ne. Also, calling a demon a devil is just in rude. Our species are very different and some of us think that as offensive." Adrian stated.


    Imiter then clutched his ne as he knew that this is something important to him. It has been with him even before he became what he is now. This ne saved or rather preserved his humanity. He has a deep attachment to it to the point that he even bathes with it on him.


    "Can you give us another requirement instead of my ne?" Imiter asked but Adrian shook his head.


    Imiter suddenly had a shback on how he received this ne. His father found a peculiar stone inside a cave that has no value except for being pretty. It is pretty but not pretty enough for it to be bought by the nobles which is why his father gave it to him inside of a pendant.


    Imiter kept the ne because he believed that it brought him luck. It is also the reason why his consciousness is protected even when a faceless one possessed him. In short, the ne is the reason why he became what he is today which is why he is reluctant to part with it due to the huge importance.


    "If he does not want to help us then we are better off finding other people that want to help us. We should try the dragons next as they are as strong as the demons anyway.


    Adrian seeing Imiter''s face could only sigh and use another way to coerce the strange being. He already knows that Imiter is not entirely human as he has a human-colored soul, but it is constantly changing like water unlike human souls that are solid.


    Adrian set up a barrier so that no one other than the three of them are inside of it. He wanted to exclude Lime, but it seems that Imiter has his own attachments to her. Imiter might back down if Lime is kept in the dark of what he is about to say.


    "What did you do!?" Lime stated as she held her bay and pointed it towards Adrian.


    "I just wanted us to have some privacy after all. I want that ne for a valid reason, and I believe that it is not yours to begin with anyway." Adrian stated which made Imiter look at him with shock.


    "You do not have to worry about splitting apart like you worry about. Your soul is already fused with whatever being that you have absorbed. You can say that you are still you but not entirely human." Adrian stated as Lime lowered her weapon.


    "Are you sure? I do not want to be a monster." Imiter stated which made Lime hug him but made everyoneugh.


    "It is a bit rude tough at a kid." Lime stated but Adrian could care less.


    "If you think that you are a monster then what do you call me? Demonic monster? Or just a in monster? What youck right now is the fact that you do not love yourself as much as you should.


    Who cares if others view you as a demon even though you have done nothing wrong? The only real monsters in this world are those that tell people that they are not good enough or will never fit in just because they are different.


    The only thing beautiful in this world is the fact that every being is unique, and no one is the same. Those that think that they should fit in a standard are just those that are swept by the tide. They cannot rise to the asion which is why they drag them down to the depths that they are drowning from." Adrian stated with utmost conviction as this is what he really believes in life.


    "I do not want to admit it, but the rude brat is right. Being different does not mean we are monsters, but we are unique. The important thing is that we do not infringe on the freedom and happiness of others." Lime stated as she patted Imiter''s back.


    Imiter then took a deep breath and weighed his options. He wanted his family to be safe because the faceless ones would have surely known of his being. They are not ones to tolerate those that do not submit to their god.


    Imiter also knows that the faceless ones will use everyone that is rted with a person that they need. They do not havepassion or love. They only know one thing and that is to carry out the will of their god.


    "I have decided. If a ne could help my family, then I will dly give it up." Imiter stated as he handed the ne to Adrian.
