Chapter 546 - Duna's Touches

"You don't seem amazed or concerned after learning I am a Devil's Incarnate," Duna mentioned with furrowed brows.

Leon smiled lightly before he corrected, "Oh, don't get me wrong. I am surprised. It's just that compared to what I've experienced and discovered in the past few days, I wouldn't be surprised as much as I would be. But never mind that. Tell me more about your situation."

Once Leon inquired about Duna's situation for a second time, a rare trace of sadness appeared in her eyes before she gave a soft sigh, "Fine."

"I won't go into details on how I was awoken and incarnated as I don't recall much myself. After all, I was only a baby ready to be born with only a fragment of my former self. My memory was fuzzy and unclear..." Duna spoke.

Leon furrowed his brows thoughtfully before he inserted, "Because you were just an infant with a fragment of your Devil Soul, you were unable to control your laws. Thus, the uncontrolled deathly aura destroyed your fleshly body and those around you, right? How did Lumi survive this?"

"Yes, that is correct. Lumi was gifted with a divine body that made her body adaptable and immune to deathly energy. But as you can guess, the heavens was not fair and did not bestow me the same talents..."

"...Perhaps, the Devil Soul Fragment part of me was meant to incarnate in Lumi's body, but it incarnated into me and slowly eroded my body to death instead. I was prepared to die at that point, but Lumi took me in and saved my life."

Duna wore a forlorn expression as she recalled the past.

"Lumi shouldn't have the mental capacity to accept your soul into her body consciously. It should have been her divine body absorbing your Devil Soul Fragment due to their compatibility instead, no?" Leon spoke after some thought.

Duna nodded before she said sadly, "Be that as it may, it does not change the fact I still exist thanks to Lumi and that it was also because of me that she had to suffer... I owe her a lot."

"That explains why you are the defensive elder sister, while Lumi has developed such a deep-rooted fear and reaction to pain." Leon nodded in understanding before he sighed.

Being physically abused by her father while growing up, it was no surprise for Lumi to develop a trauma.

It was amazing that Lumi did not bear any resentment towards her father, Yahir Gallagher, after all the abuse she went through.

Perhaps, if she did not have the support of the servants, then her character would have taken a different turn.

'No, wait. It doesn't add up. Lumi was too pure and innocent. There was no way she can remain like this even if she had such mental support from the servants!' Leon thought before he glanced at Duna.

As if knowing what Leon was thinking, Duna admitted with a nod, "All her negative emotions are swallowed by me."

That was right.

Even if Duna and Lumi were twin sisters originally, their souls have become one now.

However, Leon suddenly paused his train of thought. That was not right.

If their souls have fully fused, only one of them would exist.

It was not possible for both Duna and Lumi to exist, given they were two different people fundamentally. As such, it was not a perfect fusion but a partial one.

Duna was aware of Lumi's existence because she possessed the Devil Soul Fragment, making her more dominant.

But considering they were fused, even partially, Lumi should have gained the same benefits from the Devil Soul Fragment.

Was Lumi truly unaware of Duna's existence, or was she simply avoiding Duna to prevent something from happening?

Leon scratched his head while he was thinking about the profoundly intricated situation that Duna and Lumi shared.

Nevertheless, he suddenly realized that he had been too bent on finding Lumi. Since Duna was also half the body owner, he should be able to wake them up with Duna's help.

"Do you know the current state of your body right now? We should quickly wake you up so you can begin repairing your—"

Leon was suddenly silenced by a single pressed on the lips of his spiritual avatar.

"I'm aware of our current state, but there's no rush. Since you have come here, I am more interested in learning how you entered. I've been answering your questions for a while now. It's time you answer mine," Duna stated with a strange flicker in her eyes upon contact between them.

Leon smiled wryly before he asked, "Can't that wait until you recovered first? Aren't you getting your priorities mixed?"

"Anyway, I used a special technique to reach this place." Leon answered anyway before urging with a question, "Now, can we go?"

"No, it's been a long time since I felt the fleshly touch of another person's existence besides my own. It's good that you have come here. I didn't expect that I could feel alive again in this spiritual world just by having another person's company." Duna said before she began to touch Leon in various places with a studying expression.

Although it was just his spiritual avatar connected with his consciousness, Duna's touch felt no different from another human's touch in the real world.

"Are you done yet? Delaying your recovery will only increase the chances of unexpected variables coming into play." Leon spoke while feeling strange from Duna's intimate touches like his heart was being tickled.

Nevertheless, Duna did not stop touching and poking him in random spots.

"There's no rush. Time flows differently inside the spiritual world compared to outside—what is this?" Duna suddenly paused on a rising tent before she snickered after, "Are you kidding me? Just a few touches are enough to excite you?"

"Being felt up by a beautiful woman, what else would you expect? This is a normal human reaction." Leon justified himself while covering his rising tent.

"Do you think it'll make me happy if you call me beautiful? Hmph, idiot." Duna gave a satirical look before she ridiculed, "You already have human and elvish lovers, yet you can still get excited over spirits.. You really are an irredeemable animal."
