"That's naive, Hulim."
He waved his raised finger at Hulim.
"Precisely because of this level of power, you absolutely cannot avoid the fate of possessing them. So rather than having them come after you and cause trouble, it's better to seize them while things are stable."
"Besides, you didn't suffer any adverse effects when using this power, right?"
"Hmm, it seems so..."
Take the ability of Primal Rage that he possessed as an example. At the beginning, the leaked power alone affected an entire mountain range. However, after he took it, it did not affect him at all, and was even affected by his own emotions.
"actually... ..."
At this time, Irus's voice lowered a bit.
She said in a voice as if she was talking to herself:
"There's another, more selfish reason."
"?" Hulim looked at her in confusion. "Why do you say that?"
Irus looked into Hulim's eyes.
After a moment, he slowly said:
"Because the Demon King has descended upon this world."
Hulim was stunned.
Yes.
The world is facing a crisis...
If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
For Irus, who truly wants to protect this world, she will spare no effort to try as long as there is a possibility of increasing the chances of winning.
Even if this is an existence whose true identity is unknown.
But for now, it can be of great help.
Like his ancestors, he should also have some uneasiness about this power, but he believed that it was not a bad thing for the world.
Because this world needs strength so much.
but--
Irus.
Hulim looked at the elf in front of her quietly and said slowly in her heart.
This is not your responsibility alone...
"I know what to do."
Hulim raised her feet and walked towards the narrow road connecting to the island in the lake.
When he turned his back to Irus.
"Irus——"
She said,
"That's not a selfish reason."
“… …”
... ...
The road leading to the island in the middle of the lake is so narrow that two people can barely walk side by side.
Hulim's figure was reflected symmetrically on both sides of the blue mirror-like lake.
She stopped in front of the island in the middle of the lake.
A barrier blocked the way ahead.
She stretched out her right hand and gently touched the barrier.
Buzz.
A halo centered on the right hand spread out towards the entire barrier.
Then.
Wow...
The barrier slowly turned into light particles filling the sky and dissipated.
Countless points of light were scattered in the sky above Mirror Lake, which also reflected countless points of light. The entire island in the middle of the lake seemed to be wrapped in a cosmic starry sky.
And there is no longer any obstacle between Hulim and the temple...
A set I've seen once.
The center of the temple.
Hulim saw the same black stone tablet.
Buzz...
As if sensing her arrival, the stone tablet, which had been silent for who knows how long, began to vibrate and emit a faint light.
Under the light, strange runes appeared faintly.
The power that already existed in Hulim's body seemed to react to it and echo it.
Hulim exhaled slowly and calmed herself down.
Then he walked closer to the stone tablet.
Extend your right hand towards it.
Boo~.
Like a drop of water falling into calm water, ripples appeared on the surface of the stone tablet.
Huge runes then flooded into Hulim's mind.
Hulim groaned, but it wasn't too painful.
This time, she was able to withstand the impact of this power entering her body.
at the same time.
A scene she had seen before appeared before her eyes again...
A deep, dark void.
It seems to be abandoned by time and space, existing only in the world of dreams.
Because he had seen it before, Hulim was no longer surprised.
Relying on the memory of last time.
She followed her instinct and raised her head "upwards".
As expected.
She saw a star.
Orange stars.
Before she could take a closer look.
The stars changed first.
An eye emerged from it.
Then a beam of light shot out from it and fell directly onto Hulim.
A chilling feeling like falling into an icy cave swept over her, and Hulim subconsciously shrank her body, but she was unable to stop the unprecedented hunger in her stomach.
And an ancient mantra that is still indescribable gradually emerged in my mind. Its true name is...
[Gluttony. Original - Infinite Attack].
As the power entered the body, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly came over me.
Only then did Hulim notice that the orange eyes above him had disappeared.
Then her body began to fall...
A moment of distraction.
Already returned to the temple.
The scene in front of him became empty. The forbidden stone tablet had disappeared and turned into an ability called "Infinite Strike" and merged into Hulim's body.
Hulim looked around and still felt a sense of unreality.
She lowered her head, looked at her hands, and slowly recited the true name of the forbidden power she had obtained.
"Infinite Strike..."
