"Why do you have so many powers instead of just darkness? And what happened with the vampires…?"
Logan chose the two questions he thought were most urgent.
The spirit began to manifest in shifting shadows, forming vague shapes before finally offering a direct answer.
[Simple enough. I was split after the previous war. You see, I advocated for the demons to be brought into this world, so I had to take responsibility. My powers were scattered, and I've only recently begun reclaiming them. One of those fragnts… abyss… has been gone too long. It's what you'd now call cursed.]
[As for why I did what I did—] The voice shifted, more solemn now.
[I don't need to explain. Humans were the ones who asked for the demons to be brought. It shouldn't be hard to understand that it would backfire. Little of that knowledge was passed down. So… it is an error destined to repeat itself.]
The spirit condensed heavy truths into just a few words.
Logan wanted to press for more, but stopped himself.
[As for the second question—]
Velmora's shadow seed like it was yawning.
[The demons sought to take over my domain by bringing a false deity from their world to replace . Had I not been occupied condensing my scattered domains, I would have retaliated sooner. But do not mistake my absence for neglect—my delay was by design. You arrived at a destined ti.]
The spirit paused briefly before continuing, her voice more solemn.
[The others, however… will need help. You should send your chosen beast to aid them. Just as the vampires were sent here to weaken —]
[The Luphirians are closing in on Elris. The Succubi are hunting for the Wind. The Ifrit-kin target the Fire Spirit. Lamiae, the Serpent Queen, seeks the lost Temple of Water. The Ghrell... they are heading for your ho.]
[Those are the ones I can still see...]
[You must act quickly. Send the other heroes. You alone cannot reach them all in ti. For if the demons succeed in taking the essence of each spirit... the Great Demon Lord will be summoned, I believe he is using that kid nad George as a vessel for now.]
The atmosphere thickened with gravity as her voice quieted.
[Let us leave the rest for later. You may place a teleportation array here if you wish, but I shall not allow entry again until I am ready.]
Then, the shadows stirred. The spirit's presence intensified as she beckoned Logan closer.
[Now, you have finished, Hero of Taming. Your quest here is over. Now—receive my blessing.]
[The dragon shall be your chosen.]
[And as for the Spirit of Wind… it may have granted you one of its sacred gifts, but I cannot allow it to act alone. I will not let it bestow such a gift on the hero I personally selected—without marking you with my own blessing first.]
Another tendril of shadow ford, writhing silently before it extended toward Logan. He didn't resist and allowed it to touch him.
The mont it made contact, pain surged through his body—sharp and overwhelming, like the agony of forced evolution.
This ti, he couldn't even remain standing.
Logan collapsed to his knees, clutching his head as a wave of pressure and heat drilled through his thoughts. It felt as though the core of his being was being rewritten, reshaped by sothing ancient and far beyond him.
Only when the pain subsided, and the tremor in his limbs faded did he finally dare to check his status.
