"Aaron, you just saved my life! I can't believe it! I owe you a great deal!"
Although Darren had indeed been dead early on, his soul was not completely shattered. So when he was brought back from the dead, he still knew about the events that had taken place during his death, which was how Darren knew that it was Aaron who just saved his life. The veil between life and death had become very transparent for him then.
"Brother, glad to have you back with us! Welcome back!" Aaron gave out a hearty laughter, from the pit of his stomach to express his genuine happiness.
"I see why you have been asking me to die. I know now that had you done so, I could be reborn much stronger and much more powerful. Why didn't you explain it to me?" Darren finally understood the reason why Aaron had been on his case all this time. It was for Darren's benefit so he could improve the strength of his body and soul. If only Darren had understood or known back then.
Nonetheless, Darren checked his own body and found its strength was now at a very high level. It was so strong that he believed that he could take on a two-star grand warrior at the top level and survive his blast with nothing but his body. He was quite confident of his body's strength and quite thrilled of the potential challenge.
More importantly, Darren felt that his Spirit Power had never been this powerful before, and this was the sign that his soul had been elevated to a higher level.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I thought that you meant to harm me! You have really got to be clear in your communications," Darren asked Aaron, with much gratitude in his voice, which was slightly shaky.
"I am not good with words. So I thought that it would be best for me if I just showed you," Aaron answered, with a little bit of awkwardness in his voice and sentence structure.
The fact was that Aaron had been imprisoned in that black domain for many years, and he had to live through endless cruel torture every single day—by default his linguistic ability on a daily basis was worn out too, which was the reason why he had difficulty expressing his true intention to other people.
When he realized that Darren was about to die, his strong desire to save Darren's life finally overcame the restraints so that he could tell Darren everything. He spilt everything out and confessed.
"It is my fault that I misjudged you. Thank you for everything that you have done for us, Aaron. I would have been long dead if it weren't for you. Thank you my dear friend." Darren thanked him sincerely with a genuine and appreciative smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eyes, just like a cat that had been given another lease on life.
Right now, despite being surrounded by hot magma, and scorching temperatures, Darren could completely ignore the heat and the erosion of runes as his body was strong enough for him to withstand many forms of attacks after Aaron had modified and improved it for him. What strength!
"You are most welcome. Brother, let's get out of here! Quick, hurry up!" Aaron then punched through the layer of magma that was beneath him directly with his palm and both of them fell to the underground world at lower levels.
