"You are correct in assuming that." The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.
"And why are you here then?" Adrian asked as the last inner demon that was here was the Arch Demon inner demon.
"The last gatekeeper has already been integrated into you which means another gatekeeper must stand guard. You are much more special than you think you are but that is not what you came for. You will also need my help since even you do not know how to work this tree much less connect it to the other side." The Noblesse Inner demon stated.
What the Noblesse Inner Demon means is that Adrian has barely touched the side where the tree radiates immense death energy, and he still has the other side that radiates immense life energy. Adrian did not want to admit it, but his inner demons are like guides to his inner self as they are the ones that live inside him. His only problem with them is that they have this mocking attitude when speaking to him as if they know it all.
"Tell me about what I need to do then. I need to forge a stronger bond with Charon's soul as I can already feel it slipping away from my control." Adrian stated.
"The ones outside could stall for some time because you need to listen to what I say in detail. You need to learn more about yourself in order to have control of everything in your inner world." The Noblesse Inner Demon stated as he explained the two trees present in Adrian's inner world.
The two trees are like mirror images of one another and is separated by a waterlike barrier. Adrian tried to enter the other side, but he was repelled. The Noblesse Inner Demon laughed at Adrian's attempt to go to the other side because it knows that he cannot.
"You cannot pass through that because as I have said. I am the gatekeeper to the other side. Unless you defeat me, you will not be able to enter the other side but that does not mean that you cannot utilize the power of that side. Still, I deem that you are not ready for that yet as you need to get accustomed to this side first. The side of the Qliphoth where it represents the impure of the world and is the opposite of the holy Sefirot." The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.
"I already managed to attach Sirius' soul inside the Samael one. Charon's soul seems to have some connection to the Tagimron sphere when I last visited. Should I just attach it permanently?" Adrian asked but the Noblesse Inner Demon shrugged as it looked at the former as a lost cause.
"Just because it has some connection does not mean that it is perfect for Charon. Just like you, Charon has changed which means something should be much better for it than this one. Choose wisely because this is permanent and can affect how your soulbounds proceed into the future." The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.
Adrian heeded the advice of his inner demon and started to look at the empty spheres to see all their effects. Each of the spheres listed different abilities that will shape his soulbounds. He chose Samael for Sirius when he was evolving which is why it got skills related to that. Adrian must now choose what abilities Charon will inherit from his evolution.
"Something that can resonate with fear and dread should be perfect. This one is the perfect pair when it comes to Charon. I am certain of it." Adrian stated.
"If you have chosen then you must do what you got to do. I cannot stop you in your own inner world as you know that you are the owner." The Noblesse Inner Demon stated.
Just like what Adrian did to Sirius, he envisioned Charon's avatar being inside of the sphere. The sphere with the words 'Ghogiel' written on them. It was the perfect sphere in his view as it represents the antagonism to the well of creative potential and eternal motion. If there is something that can stop beings from their potential, then that is fear and dread.
The sphere started to glow as Charon's insignia has been permanently added in it. Adrian could feel that Charon's raging soul started to calm down as the roots of the Ghogiel sphere grasped it firmly. Adrian could feel that Charon's evolution is now proceeding at a good pace and the latter will not have any more problems going forward.
"Since I am already here, why don't I add Kanlaon and Saena to the spheres that I think fits them best. Will that be a problem?" Adrian stated.
"It will not be a problem but that also means that their talent will only bloom late as you did not do it when they evolved." The Noblesse Inner Demon replied.
"If that is the case then I shall choose Tagimron for Kanlaon and Thaumiel for Saena." Adrian stated as he burned the insignias of the two in the respective spheres.
Adrian suddenly felt that his connection with Kanlaon and Saena become even more powerful. Adrian's soulbounds always felt like they were part of him but him doing this makes him feel that they are truly a part of him. This also means that their connection is so solid that no one could tear him away from his soulbounds.
Adrian chose Thaumiel for Saena in hopes of her successfully mastering her abilities since even she is struggling between taking life and giving life. Thaumiel represents the eternally aggressive tension or duality between two opposing polarities. Adrian hopes that Saena can use this as a way perfectly use her duality.
Adrian chose Tagimron for Kanlaon because of his abilities that deal with union. Tagimron are the forces that hinder man from experiencing this state of union, communion and beauty. They can take shape in any force that creates confusion rather than fusion of heart and mind. Kanlaon has always been at conflict with balancing all the elements even if he was a being that has perfect control of each one.
Adrian hopes that both of them unlock a skill that can aid both of them in their predicament. He only did this to help them, but he did not expect that what he did changed the course on how his two soulbounds did combat. This was the start of Adrian's soulbounds fighting style that is unique only to them. The Noblesse Inner Demon could be seen smiling as it did not expect that Adrian to have very accurate pairing.
"I have told you. The master is better when under pressure." The voice of Paradox stated as it took the form of a small wisp beside the ear of the Noblesse Inner Demon.
