NovelEnglishChapter 957
I stepped out into a portal. A second later, I jumped to the side as a slash came where I was. I rolled and came back up to my feet. Spinning around, I found a woman standing there. She wasn’t quite the size of an Osterian, but she also wasn’t a giant. Her face had changed as well.
“What happened to my dungeon boss?” I demanded.
“Deek… no… the imposter.” The woman standing before me shook her head.
“I am not the imposter, they are!” I snapped.
Elaya had attempted to keep me from entering the dungeon. She must have forgotten just who I was. While the other Deek seemed to lack the dungeon blessings, I still had all of mine. Opening a portal and entering the dungeon wasn’t something she could prevent. Well, she was able to prevent me from entering the mansion, so maybe she did have her ways, but they didn’t work just because the dungeon had gone rogue.
It was possible that because my blessings no longer showed thanks to my last blessing, that this Deek just assumed we had both lost the blessing. I was fine leaving him believe that. Either way, it was a simple matter to see what was going on in my dungeon. For it to suddenly be hostile against me put a bitter taste in my mouth, only reminding me of how many problems the appearance of that guy caused.

“Is that what she said?” I frowned. “You have a funny way of showing it.”
Elaya had been with me up until a few days ago. Then she had ended up with him. Suddenly, she was on his side. However, she had instructed this woman not to hurt me, then perhaps she was trying to play both sides. I just wish I understood what was going through her mind. That woman was an enigma.
“I’m sorry, you suddenly appeared in the boss room and I reacted without thinking. I’m still trying to come to terms with my new identity as Xin. She could be a bit aggressive.” She blushed.
“So, you really are Xin, then.” I sighed. “I had heard from Bernice that your soul was trapped in a dungeon and that Deek had united you back together.”
Xin nodded. “He did!”
I bit my lip for a second. “Will you help that Deek defeat me?”
“Elaya ordered me not to lend my help to either side.”
“Heh… I bet the other Deek doesn’t realize that.” I sighed. “Are you doing okay?”
She blinked. “Doing okay?”
“I mean… the giant. You were once that dungeon boss, monster, giant… whatever you want to call it.”
“That’s true…” She cocked her head thoughtfully. “What are you getting at?”
“You used to be less direct.” I sighed. “I’m trying to ask… do you regret it?”
“Regret?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Combining. I mean, you’re not the Xin you were or the giant. It’s like two people ceasing to exist, to generate some third unknown. Maybe they’re more like the original Xin, but they’re also different too.”
“I see…” Xin nodded slowly. “The simplest answer would be no, I don’t regret it.”
“Really?”
“People change all the time. You won’t be the person tomorrow than you are today. It’s a sum of our experiences that make us who we are. If I add the experiences of both of them, it doesn’t make me less me. If anything, it makes me more me than I ever was before. Does that make sense?”
“Yeah… I guess it does.”
“Anything else, Master?”
“I like your new look,” I said. “You’re beautiful. I can see why Elaya fell for you.”
“You…” She blushed, looking away. “Either part of you, you’re still a lady killer!”
