'Talk to it? Like, speak sothing?'
Cesar was nervous about sothing like this.
How could he not?
It was a Nightmare they were talking about.
And this Nightmare will be talking to him and can see his whole figure while he is blindfolded like Arnold, and had no idea whether he would die being covered by a kerchief or not.
It was unnerving when they had to cover their eyes when a potential enemy was right staring at his front.
"Did you go deaf or not? Did you hear just what I said? Talk to it, tell what you want from it, and what the Nightmare will also get from taking orders from you,"
'Right, of course striking a deal with another freaking Nightmare is bound to happen. But that's the problem right now! I don't have an inkling what this monster even wanted in the first place. Can I just ask it though?'
Cesar heart's pounded in nervousness as he deeply contemplated about the right words to tell.
Once he started to make up his mind and constructed the sentences in his head, Cesar let out a low breath to calm himself down before describing his situation.
"I'm sure you're surprised about the situation. Why Arnold is leaking information about you and why did a re student beco aware that there's an unknown existence living in the Academy?"
Cesar wanted to hear if the Nightmare would speak or retort to that question to see if his suspicions were correct.
However, he only received silent treatnt from the Nightmare.
This only worsens his nervousness.
Thinking that it would be worse if he didn't co straight to the point, Cesar finally revealed the main cause of his coming at the Nightmare's presence.
"I know that you're a Nightmare whose very adept at Soul. I'm sure you've attained the title of Soul Scholar as well."
Cesar slowly bowed his head.
"Please, heal my worsening condition. I'm afraid that if this took another week—no, just another day I might find myself lying on the streets dead. I'll do anything you ask for … but if you can handle my Soul and fix it right back up, I'll be sure to rember your kindness,"
Cesar didn't an to say please as if he was begging but he was desperate to receive any help he would get.
It didn't even matter if he would make a 'pact' with the Nightmare if that was the condition he would willing to go for just to get his soul healed.
It just shows how pressing his matters and he wants to get out of this feeling of constant fear of being dead any minute.
Arnold waited in anticipation while able to gain another knowledge from Cesar yet again, which was kind of an irony as he was learning from his student and not the other way around.
Cesar also waited but he was patient.
That patience paid off when the Nightmare who seed to have pondered greatly replied to him.
"Your soul has gone far too worse to even get fixed,"
Cesar's heart dropped as if the temperature inside the main hall had beco dangerously cold.
That statent from the groggy voice of the Nightmare that ca from sowhere caught Cesar off guard.
It was hopeless until the Nightmare continued as if it wanted to pull a prank to scare Cesar.
"However you ca to the right entity."
However, Cesar took that prank as if he was nothing as that only ant he'll survive and not die from his condition.
'I'll live!'
He'll live.
Sothing that had been bugging him for a while now, an enemy that he couldn't fight as it was inside of him, will finally disappear after being influenced by the power of a Nightmare.
'If only I could see your face right now, I would definitely shower you with praises! Hahaha—wait. Am I becoming a Heretic? Well, I guess it's not a bad case at all! As long as it was praising a Nightmare while not harming any innocent lives, maybe I can build a church and start my own religion!'
Cesar couldn't explain it in his condition right now.
But he could tell to himself that he was happy, very happy even if his face was serious and emotionless.
"A-are we in the sa line of thought? Are you okay with fixing my soul?"
"Did you not hear what I said?"
Cesar's heart beats faster, "Where do we begin? I can wait a week or so but we should do it fast,"
"We'll do it right now,"
That makes it even more fantastic for Cesar who started grinning from ear to ear even though he could feel that he had beco numb to emotions.
"There's sothing you have to answer though so that we can proceed with the process of fixing your soul. And if you're worried about the condition we're about to do, all I wanted is a favor that I will be needing in the future in case a situation arises,"
'Huh, this Demonic Wrath which had a pretty scary na is a very well-spoken Nightmare… And all he wanted was a favor from and a question he wanted to ask?'
Cesar didn't hesitate to accept it as he asked, "What's the question you wanted, O' great Nightmare,"
Feeling troubled at being praised by Cesar, the Nightmare at the ceiling' shadows watching the human from below couldn't help but ask nervously.
"There's a Great Being inside you… sothing unfathomable that I couldn't reach no matter how many tis I built up my strength… If I fixed your soul, will that not anger the Great Being inside you and call upon its wrath to ?"
Cesar stood motionlessly from his place before tilting his head.
'D-did this Nightmare just got afraid by Cedeit even though I don't know what his condition is? Well, I am now since Demonic Wrath told that Cedeit was still inside , aning he's still working on whatever he was doing with his consciousness,'
Thinking upon an answer in his head right away since he was very eager to finish it all at once, Cesar stated.
"No, he will not be enraged,"
Cesar ca across a thought that would bring him benefits as he added.
"In fact, the Great Being inside was the one who had given the presence of such presence like you. This Great Being recognized you O' Demonic Wrath. And , who is a lowlife, wasn't able to properly hear his words and ignored them. If only I had listened, you and the Great Being might've been talking right now,"
Before the Nightmare could even have weird thinking, Cesar continued, "However, he's in a current state where even I couldn't contact him. But if he's back, I'll surely introduce you to each other,"
It was right though.
Cedeit continued to remain quiet which started to worry Cesar but upon rembering the reason that it was related to his consciousness, he put his worry aside and focused on the task at hand.
The Nightmare who seed to be in a good mood made it appear to his tone as he stated.
"All right, that's good to hear. I hope the Great Being will surely be successful at his work. Now, let's get you fixed up,"
'Oh yes! Oh yes! This is it! The mont I have been waiting for in the past few months! It's finally here!'
"Cesar Sparrow. The only thing I want you to do is stand still and prepare for the worst. The Soul is a very important aspect of a person's life after all. Every soul has a uniqueness, and it might take a bit too long till you're fully healed that's why you have to be under constant watch,"
'Stand still and prepare for the worst? I learned sothing new again and that is soul have their own uniqueness… Wait a mont, I had to get back. Prepare for the worst?'
Soon, Cesar felt that he began to levitate in the air which is indeed what's happening to him. He waved his hands all around to try and touch sothing but he never expected he'll levitate.
And it wasn't stopping.
'Uh…'
Suddenly, his levitation took a halt.
And he felt so huge finger tapping his head.
That was the ti that everything went wrong for Cesar.
Crack—!
"nding a broken soul in such a critical state will require much concentration for . However, the one I'm healing should be willing to stand over the pain that he'll have to overco if he ever wants to heal himself. I'm talking to you, Cesar Sparrow,"
"Graaaaaaaah!"

A wail escaped from Cesar's lips.
It was a desperate shout for a plea to get out of the misery he was in.
However, if the Demonic Wrath let go now, he would also suffer from the sa consequences Cesar was receiving right now.
If that happens, both of them will be in danger.
Hence Cesar will have to hold on.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!"
And everything will feel like a pain he hadn't felt in his entire life.
