Cel hummed as he played with a knife as his hips swayed "hey Jin?" He huffs.

"Yea?" Jinwoo asked.

"You ever worry about the fact that the more power you get, the more you can get consumed by it?" Cel asked curiously.

Jin woo looked at the male then turns away and nods . "Yes ....before...this, I would have never given in to....murder but now? It's a regularity" he states and looked at his hands.

Cel frowned and looked away, he nibbled on some grapes. "I've killed too, I hate it....." He mutters. "What's important is that you never 'get used to it'" cel states and walks closer and sticks a grape in Jinwoos mouth.

The other male stared at the blonde, then nodded as he slowly chewed. "Your right"

They paused when up ahead they could hear screeches and roars of a skeleton army.

Cel huffs as he puts his things away and cracks his knuckles.

"Cel maybe you-" Jinwoo gasped slightly when he saw Cel dash forward. Cel huffs as he raises both arms up and picks up half of the army and then clamps his hands together.

The army all crashed into each other into a huge ball of mass. Cel grunts as he swayed his arm back then throws his arm forward and the mass rolled forward, crashing it into the new crowd creating a path.

"Milady?" Cel lands next to Jinwoo and bowed playfully. The other male snorted and rolled his eyes as he bowed "what a gentleman" he states.

Sung Jin woo went ahead and finished the boss.

In the end
Cel ends up finding another rune

And it just added more tattoos to his other arm.

He stood with the last soul in his hand and caressed it. This ...poor soul. He blinks as he focuses on the mission then lets it go.

It zips right to Jinwoo who takes it and crushes it.

Cel pants as he sat down on the pile of demons. He stared at the bodies and frowned "sorryyy" he whispered softly.

The quest was finally over.

Cel sighed as he swayed from side to side as he moved his feet 180 every so often, he was tired.

He leaned onto Jinwoo and yawned. He had his headphones on, he perked up as he noticed a note with a weird drawing on it.

The elixir of life

This has caught Jinwoos interest.

***************************************

Jinwoo had explained that there 4 ingredients.

Bark from the world tree
Spring water from echo forest
Purified blood of the demon monarch

Then
Something else
Something that was glitched out

"Im going to visit my mother" Jinwoo states.

Cel looked at him and nods "alright, I'll wait at home" he states.

Over the course of him staying with the Sungs. He would refuse to go visit Jim woos mom......since well

He felt like he wasn't close enough to visit. He felt like that was far from intruding into their lives.

It was stupid but he felt shy and ashamed. Jinwoo looked at him for a moment then slowly goes to him "no....come with me" he mumbles and looked at Cels hand then takes it. "Please"

Cels felt skeptical about this, he didn't feel like he was worthy. Jinwoos demeanor had changed, and all of a sudden he sees Jinwoo of before, shy and meek and awkward.
