The Butterfly System
Chapter 14 [Devil of Heart!!]

"Hey, why did you spit it out? It was a very valuable plant and it was very difficult to obtain it." Azura was still busy coughing.

"Water, please give me some water." Ran-ran immediately runs to fetch water when he sees Azura's strange-looking condition.

With a dry and breath that was now irregular Azura stepped towards the lake and took a position sitting cross-legged on a rock. Ran-ran who has just returned from taking warm water is speechless as Azura has started her first hermitage. Natural energy kept circling the man.

"There's something strange about him. Why would natural energy just surround him? Is he going to fail?" Ran-ran tries to guess the strange thing that happened to Azura.

Suddenly a sword came out and floated right above Azura. All the energy that had surrounded Azura went straight into the sword. A strong wind filled the cave making some rocks drift because of it. A blue light suddenly shot out from the sword and entered Azura's body.

"A pure energy that he created by using the spirit sword as his purification place, is truly a genius. I have to report this to the old geezer," Ran-ran said as he hurriedly left from there.

...☄☄☄...

Two days had passed since Azura started her first hermitage. So far everything has gone well and looks normal, Azura's body continues to receive energy purified through his spirit sword. His strength level was still the same and there was no visible improvement at all.

"What do you think? He had already received a lot of natural energy but why was his energy level still unchanged?" Next to Ran-ran there is Raymond who is Azura's teacher.

"Is it possible that he will fail?!" Ran-ran panicked.

"Maybe" said Raymond.

"You have to do something otherwise his body will be deformed because of that failure, let's do something." Ran-ran pulls Raymond's clothes towards Azura but the old man shakes his head instead.

"He has to go through that with his own ability. To be strong he has to go through some challenges in order to train mentally and physically" Raymond said as he stuck his cane and sat cross-legged on the ground.

"We can just pay attention and wait for the results" Raymond said.

The burning sensation began to Azura feel along with thousands of needles that were as if they were charging at him endlessly. The man took a deep breath and drained his entire body of profound energy to ease his pain a little.

It worked and made Azura's body no longer feel pain but the burning sensation was still not gone, the man clenched his jaw until he woke up in a place filled with mirrors. Azura stood up and looked at her reflection in the mirror, she kept turning left and right when she felt something was watching her.

Azura continued to feel restless until she found a mirror that stood out from all the mirrors there. Azura stood in front of him but there was no reflection of herself in the mirror, she then approached and tried to find the strangeness in the mirror, a hand and then strangled Azura's neck.

Azura rebelled and pulled out the owner of the hand that was strangling her. The black-haired man and the red eyes were also long fangs standing in front of Azura, the figure had a face similar to Azura. His gaze was as if bloodthirsty, bloodthirsty, Azura still remained vigilant and did not allow her mind to split.

"Who are you?" Azura.

"You don't recognize me? I am you and you are me" he said.

"What do you mean?" Azura.

"Foolish, I am the darkest side and the side that must be blood and tears. I live through your hatred, your grudges and your fears, I am the devil in your heart." The figure that resembled Azura continued to laugh very loudly.

The figure then flicked the fingers of up to three people who Azura hated so much appeared suddenly there. Azura began to feel a sense of resentment and was angry to see the three people, she felt like she wanted to kill them right now. The man clenched his hand trying to hold back the anger.

"I know you want to kill them, you hate and take revenge on them, don't you? You want to retaliate so cruelly that they cry and prostrate at your feet while apologizing." The figure began to pat Azura on the back and whisper something.

"Say yes then all your grudges will be avenged, only I am always by your side then trust me. Give me your body and soul" he said.

"Stupid" Azura said.

Azura then gave one hard blow to the figure and made him have to stop his laughter. Azura put on a face of pity to see her twin figure fall while looking intently at herself.

"What are you doing?!" Tell that figure.

"I'm not stupid, I don't need your help to solve my problems. I'm not a weak person who would believe in a swindler like you" Azura said sternly.

Red eyes began to sharply highlight Azura. A pair of hands began to invade Azura and make the man trapped and unable to rebel, there were more and more hands popping out from inside the mirror and trying to cover Azura's entire body.

"You were wrong for rejecting me" said Azura-like figure with eyes that were now bleeding.

"Death here and be a part of this me" he said with a sumringah that makes anyone would goosebumps to see it.

Azura's body had now been covered by those hands. The figure laughed at the fate of Azura who provided it, he then swung his hand until all the hands disappeared. He then dragged Azura and put her in a glass case.

"Thank you I gave this beautiful bed to your corpse" said the figure who resembled Azura.

The figure then turned around but a light forced him to look back at the coffin containing Azura who was still asleep. A sword suddenly appeared and gave an incision to the figure's leg. The glass coffin was then smashed into pieces, now Azura was standing straight in front of the twin. His eyes were still faithfully closed but his hair had turned blue.

"Why did you escape from that illusion?" His word.

Azura was speechless while holding her sword very firmly, her similar figure put on an annoyed face and intended to stab Azura with its sharp claws. He had not had time to give an attack first, the sword belonging to Azura had stuck in his heart until it broke into the back. The figure then vomited blood with eyes that returned to bleed.

"Why can you do this?" Tell that figure.

"I am the owner of this body I will not let anyone take from me again. You're just a complement won't turn into an owner" Azura said as she opened her eyes and displayed sky-blue eyes.

"Stay where you are and don't cross your line" Azura said and the figure slowly disappeared without a trace.

Azura's body had a rise and was at the Swordsman level. Slowly Azura opened her eyes and looked at Raymond and Ran-ran who were looking at her. Azura smiled, she had already exhausted her energy while having a fight with her heart demon. Azura starts to fall from the rock, Raymond who starts to hold Azura's body and bring her back to land.

"You've been working hard, get some rest."
