The young man looked at himself in the bronze mirror. He had become more handsome than before, but the change in his appearance was far less surprising than the changes inside his body. He started noticing a surge in terms of spiritual power.
"What happened to me?" the boy asked while looking at the man.
The man reached out his hand and rubbed the boy's head gently. "For the sake of his own glory and wealth, your father was going to give you, the son of the God of War, to the king of the enemy kingdom. However, that devil wasn't planning on saving your life. He hired 49 priests to expel your souls out of your body. Once you're dead, they have nothing else to worry about and can simply send their troops south to engulf your country."
The boy did not show a terrified expression. He merely faced death with equanimity as he said, “If this can make him feel at ease, then I’m willing to die."
The man smiled nefariously and said, "You may be willing to die for him, but I need you to live. You have to remember that when you die, your relationship with him a s father and son ends as well. In the future, your soul will be reincarnated. You can only be the son of Malachi Yadiel, which is me."
The boy looked at him and sneered, "What's so good about being your son?"
The man showed a wicked smile and said," You and your mother will never again be separated."
The boy's gaze shifted toward his beautiful mother who was in poor health. She would lie on her sickbed all year round.
Nonetheless, his mother never cared less for him just because of her illness. She had given nothing but all her tenderness to her child.
"Mother!” He knelt in front of her. "I can’t be by your side at all times now, but rest assured, I’ll leave behind a shred of my soul with you so that I'll be able to return despite whatever catastrophes. When the time comes, I hope you won’t dislike me for my imperfections."
The woman stroked his face and said with tears in her eyes, "No matter what you end up being, I’ll always want you.”
Malachi walked up to the woman, took her hand, and said, "Your son was abandoned b y your husband. What about you? Do you want to stay here?"
The woman looked at the man and smiled sweetly.
"You gave your Soul Core to my child and gave him the chance to reincarnate. I can't repay this kind of great grace. If you don’t mind, I'm willing to go to the ends of the earth with you."
Malachi hugged her with force and said," Then let’s go."
The woman shook her head. "I'd like to send him off."
