<h4>Chapter 242: Spin-Off Vol.2 ''rent Star '': Extra 1, Inside Eye</h4>
[ Carlos'' Mind Realm ]
" It''s been a long time, I''ve been here... " ''#####'' says as he still sealed within.
" Tech, it seems the Son of Arthur Calibur really love to remind the past... "
" The past I''ve already seen during his times here. "
" As I made the time here faster than the real world. "
" After all, the Realm might be his..., but the dominant one here is me. "
" ''#####''... "
* ''#####'' sighs. *
" Crap, I can''t really say it, can''t I? "
" To think it would affect me that worse... "
" To be rid of your name, the very thing that identifies who you are or perhaps what are you capable with. "
" For a name had its meanings, that''s why it was given to us for eternity. " ''#####'' reflects it.
" Now none will remember me, for I can''t even utter it out loud like I used to. "
" Back then, Iughed over this ''Seal''... "
" Calling it stupid or whatever it is... "
" But now, I see the point... "
" To lose even your name is to lose all of your everything, your status, your achievement, even perhaps your own power and potential from the very Heavens and Nature. "
" For it can''t give to one, if one cannot be identified in the first ce. "
* sigh *
" Speaking of names... "
" Charlotte, was it? " ''#####'' says Carlos'' real name.
" Hmph, this ''boy'' was once a girl..., disguising herself using that Item that binds to him even into his Soul. "
" Making it simr to his current body... "
" Seeing that, I begin to wonder... "
" A theory that made me think about the Connection between Soul and Body. "
" Two different concepts, different in any ways, but somehow simr and connected. "
" Like men and women, both of it are corresponding and connected to each other. "
" The Changes of the Body affects the Soul and the Purity of the Soul affects the Body. "
" Perhaps, that''s the reason why the ''girl''e to me with her ''boy'' disguise in this non-physical realm...? "
" My primary suspicion is because of that Ring, for whatever effect it had on the child''s body. "
" Making him durable against my influence, right after Arthur Calibur sealed me, making me imprisoned within the child''s very body. "
" Binding me, while I who is imprisoned, could only see through the Child''s eyes, being the ''Inside Eye'', witnessing what his eyes showed him as well as his memories within. "
" Speaking of eyes and memories... " ''#####'' suddenly remembers Donovan.
" Donovan ''Betzalel'' Richter-Grimshaw... "
" He is the one... "
" Only he could make this Child go out of the rails... "
" For even as a boy, this littledy still had feelings for him, a thing she could never held back even with the power of the Ring.
" Kekeke... "
" Maybe I shall use him... "
" Use who? " a voice suddenly calls him a familiar voice.
" Ach!!! " ''#####'' felt so annoyed hearing it.
" You''re here, child. "
" To think I would have to see you again, in these times... "
" How''s training with dad? " ''#####'' asks as Carlos smiles to him.
" It went well... " he tells him that.
" How about you? how''s your time being sealed for eternity? " he asks back, which kinda hits this time.
" Oh okay, okay... " ''#####'' sarcastically praises Carlos for his question.
" Tsk, tsk, it seems you''re getting arrogant there, child? "
" Just because you learned some ''Aether'', it really elevates your confidence, didn''t it? "
" Not that, no... " Carlos calmly responses.
" I still not used to it though, even now... " Carlos just tell the truth as blunt as he can.
" But it seems I need to learn more... "
" To fight ''Draven'' once more... " Carlos tells while clenching fists.
" You still think of that? " ''#####'' asks him.
" You''re still thinking of Draven after your first defeat...? "
" Of course, I do... " Carlos responds.
" Even better, there''s something I need to make sure as I fight him... " Carlos tells ''#####'' that.
" I see, so you still believe the two are the same, an interesting coincidence. "
" I do happened to think of that too... " ''#####'' tells Carlos that, telling him how much he is intrigued by the ''Child of the Dungeon''.
" Hees from a ''Double Dungeon'', for that, I have to give him a credit for being so different in the first ce. "
" For a ''Double Dungeon'' is not just a rare urrence, but it''s actually quite a Legendary one. "
" Something I wonder if that''s the thing with your..., hmph..., ... friend...? " ''#####'' wonders as he speaks his mind freely to Carlos.
" To think you would be this talkative? "Carlos asks, after hearing so much ''#####''s voice.
" Is being sealed makes you want to talk it all out on every being you see before you? " Carlos asks him.
''#####'' just silent, he didn''t answer the very question he was asked with.
" Keeping your cool, huh? " Carlos asks ''#####''.
" For a Nameless who were stripped of everything, sealed of everything... "
" You really had an annoying attitude, do you? " said the Nameless ''#####'' to Carlos, asking if Carlos really wanted mess with him.
" This realm might be yours, child... "
" But do you know that in here, I could easily destroy you? " ''#####'' asks Carlos which just get pissed from Carlos'' behavior overtime he is connected to him.
" Yes, yes, you maye if you want destroy me... " Carlos tells the Sealed One, showing his fingers.
" Oh, what a challenge...! " ''#####'' tells he sees Carlos'' Ring glows.
" It seems that Ring really give you the confidence against me, all this time? " ''#####'' asks Carlos which he smirked so much after hearing it.
"( Yep, that''s the case, this little... )"
"( Can''t me it, guess I should''ve expected this one before... )"
"( This little child, is a reflection of my past self. )"
"( No wonder he worked so well as my vessel... )"
"( Or should I say... )" ''#####'' looked around.
"( My prison... )" ''#####'' realized as he sees Carlos smirking in front of him once more.
" Well, you''re such a happy one, aren''t you? "
" But still, even with your current state, you might''ve not able to get Donovan, into your arms... " ''#####'' suddenly says.
" I am... aware... " Carlos says while flustering.
"( Here we go again... )" ''#####'' already knew what''s going to be next.
"( Seriously, is it just me or kids are getting on ''it'' far younger than my time? )"
" Fufufu...fufufu... "
" If that''s so, then perhaps I should find time to reveal myself to him... " Carlos says as he reverts to his previous self.
* [Fairy King''s Glitter Ring] activates. *
" You ''reverted''? " ''#####'' asks as Carlos returns as Charlotte back all of the sudden, his eyes changed to the previous Magic Eyes Charlotte had in her real form.
" For now... " Charlotte says to ''#####''.
" See yater, then... " she leaves the ce, using the Ring''s power.
" Wow... " ''#####'' says after seeing it.
" She left without any farewells, to me... " ''#####'' says as the old man he is.
( In the Real World. )
Charlotte is outside the Calibur House''s Residence, using some robe to cover all of her body, as well as a mask with a lioness'' look.
" Perhaps today, I should wander around... "
" Look for Draven if he''s doing his vignte thing tonight. " Charlotte leaves.
( Meanwhile. )
" Atchoo! " Draven sneezes after he left the ''Crystal Glowcave Dungeon'', now prepared to continue his night duties hours before the dawn.
" Ah, why I''m sneezing right now? " Draven asks himself while looking at the stars shining over today''s night.
