Chapter 52: Under the Sun

Seeing this, Saigai who was watching from the side decided to leave and get some rest

When they left the dream, it was also night-time, so it is bedtime anyways

And soon, as the sound of Saigai's footsteps completely faded, only Lorien and Nezuko were left in the backyard

This caused the atmosphere to suddenly turn a bit awkward

*Cough*

Coughing lightly, Lorien was the first to speak as he made a chair in front of him and said

"Come on sit, let's begin"

Hearing this, she quickly trod forward and sat down

Lorien then extended his hand, held her wrist, and immediately started using his power on her

Lorien was currently observing the situation inside of Nezuko's body to see if any mutations happened in this period since she woke up

After observing for a while, he found out that there was nearly no change other than the 'Positive' Power being a bit stronger

But this didnt affect anything as the 'Negative' power was still much stronger than the opposing 'Positive' power

So, After making sure there were no problems, Lorien immediately began his 'work'

But before helping her 'beat' the sun, he first focused his attention on something hidden deep inside of her body, and that is the curse made by Muzan

This Curse prevents those who have it from calling his name, and it is also used as a safety mechanism to better control demons

Locking onto it, Lorien first noted its very weak state, even if he didn't do anything, it'll probably fade on its own

But that'll take some time, and he wasnt about to wait for god knows how long

So with his power operating, it was erased in no time, it had no ability to fight back

And as a result, Nezuko who was sitting in front of Lorien suddenly gave a long sigh of relief

It felt as if some sort of shackle was removed, a big burden lifted

Following this, Lorien then stopped and observed her state to see if there were any issues

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

And after making sure there was none, he continued his work.

After removing the curse, Lorien then started 'empowering' the 'Positive' power inside of Nezuko's body

His objective now is to make those two powers reach a balance

He empowered the 'Positive' Power gradually and watched out for every change that may occur

This continued for a while until the two opposing powers inside of Nezuko's body finally reached a balance

And as soon as they did, a mutation that Lorien didnt expect suddenly occurred

Those two energies actually started 'converging'

And with this convergence transpiring, a new type of power 'appeared'

This power didnt have any particular 'feel', it was neither 'evil' nor 'good', it just felt in between, 'neutral'

But this power didn't stay long, and as soon as any of it was 'born' it would immediately merge into Nezuko's body

This continued until nothing was left inside her body

Both the 'Positive' and 'Negative' powers were gone

Even the newly born 'neutral' power was also gone as it had completely integrated into Nezuko's body

And as it did, Lorien could feel that some changes had happened to her

First of all, her strength has improved dramatically

Lorien could feel her aura jumping from the level of a normal very weak demon to the level of an upper moon

Secondly, it was those pinkish flames that had suddenly appeared around her

And with Lorien holding her wrist, the first one to be affected was him

But surprisingly those flames didn't do anything to him

It was as if they weren't there in the first place

All he felt was just a bit of warmth

Seeing this Lorien instantly remembered Nezuko's blood demon art in the original timeline

Her power is Pyrokinesis, but this demonic flame that she could generate and manipulate is a bit special

This flame has a special property that makes it only harmful to demons and objects of demon origin while being completely harmless to humans and other objects

At first, Lorien didnt know if his intervention would change this power

After all the way it awakened wasn't like in the original timeline

But it seems that it is more related to blood and physical rather than the experience while awakening

This lasted for nearly five minutes before the flames slowly receded, and everything was back to normal

Seeing this he let go of her wrist and said

"We're done!"

Hearing this, Nezuko who was sitting there with her eyes closed, opened them slowly and looked at her body in puzzlement

Clenching her fist, her body felt totally different

It felt full of strength, incomparable to her previous body in terms of power

Moreover, she also felt like she could now control something else, something new to her

*Whoosh*

Holding up her hand, a pinkish flame appeared on it

She looked at it curiously, it felt like she had a new limb that she could control

She then started slowly manipulating this flame into different shapes

Just then, as she was having fun playing around with her new 'toy'

Lorien interrupted her fun and said with some exhaustion apparent in his voice

"That'll be it for today, we'll continue tomorrow"

Hearing this, she quickly stood back up and responded a bit guiltily, it seems that she also noticed his fatigue

"Thank you!"

Then, just as she was about to go back to her room, Lorien stopped her and said

"Oh, by the way, you should be able to stand under the sun normally now"

Freezing mid-step, her eyes widened for a moment before responding quickly in excitement

"Really?!!"

Hearing this, she couldn't hold back her emotions

This was too sudden, everything felt unreal

Seeing this Lorien smiled lightly and continued

"Yes, but the first time you try it, tell me first, just to be safe"

Nodding rapidly in reaction, she then thanked him again

Joy and delight were obvious on her face

"Thank you!"
