My heart was beating faster ever since I heard that.
'Why have I never used the skill that I should have been able to use just after my awakening?'
This was a question that had suddenly created chaos in my eyes.
My heart was asking if what I just heard was even the correct words or so kind of joke by so unknown person.
As if confronting , my inner voice was asking if I can even use this skill.
Can I though?
I should have been able to use it and maybe if I had used it before, my life would have differed from what it was now?
But the question remained... why?
I looked at her pure blue eyes that had a special blaze in them.
She was smiling at as if she was watching an actual child finding out sothing amazing for the first ti in their life.
My chaotic eyes, my heart, the sweat falling down my back, the air that seed heavy suddenly.
All this weirdness was sothing I didn't want to feel, but I was feeling it as if so defense chanism telling not to do what I was thinking of.
She sighed while looking at and patted my head with her special touch once again.
This ti, her touch was warr than before.
As she touched it, the warmth started covering my head, then it slowly went down and from my neck, chest, stomach, and to the ends of my toes... like a fluid filling a jar.
This was strange, and this was enough to bring back to the way I was.
Sighing again, she sat back and started her long explanation.
"You are special, Eon.
You are more special than you think.
The feeling you get, that opposing feeling of not thinking what you were thinking, was also your origin skill.
[Sun's Blessing].
This is not sothing anyone other than you have, and the reason... well, I don't know.
An [Origin Skill] is sothing that could belong to only one person.
Maybe there was sothing before you that this skill belonged to or you might be the first one to have it.
But, only you have it.
Though having the skill for the first ti would make you a [Beginning]. sothing that many divine beasts are.
That skill isn't sothing you can use right now, and that's first the reason you instinctively avoid it.
But you have been using it instinctively all this ti.
[Sun's Blessing]. This is a skill that balances different energies inside your body.
It protects you from foreign energies like dead Mana or the negative energy of the demonic beast you had t so ti ago.
But... that isn't how you use it.
You can use the skill itself after your origin's awakening... which would be a long way in the future.
But, the passive use of this skill, Eon, is sothing that is my specialty."
Suddenly, her face turned very serious and there was clear worry on her face.
Her specialty?
Well, it was acceptable to know that the one that protected from the dark hands of the sli was my skill and that the ti I had to spend in the cave with blood crystals was also safe thanks to that skill.
This was all understandable… which was weird but, what did she an by it being her specialty?
I wanted to ask but she shook her head.
"No. Let's hold this one for later.
I know you have many questions and the biggest one would naturally be if I know the way you can get out of this great forest.
After all, you have a family you have to go back to."
Her words suddenly sparked the greatest light in my eyes.
"You know?!"
From the way she said it, she was sure how to go out of this place and I was looking for none other than that thing.
She was my grandma, but a family was waiting for and... it had been three years already.
For the last three years, I had suffered, and all this had been hell for .
I had co a long way and fought long, bloody battles.
For the first ti in this life, I walked to death's doors.
She knew how to get out of this hell.
But the answer that I got from her… confused .
"Yes... and no."
"What do you an by that?" I asked with a shocked look.
What did she an she knew and not at the sa ti?
This differed from the ancient willow's clear denial.
She was saying she knew, and that she didn't?
What the hell does she an by that?!
This was no joke as I could feel the sadness and pity in her voice but, I didn't know what answer I should accept.
Did she know how I can get out of here but can't tell or, she didn't know, but I can leave even without that.
I looked at her with a tough expression, and she shook her head with a bitter smile.
"Do you know what this is...?" she said and a screen-like image appeared before my eyes.
This was the sa as the screen, and maybe this was so type of skill.
But the thing I was seeing in this image was… unbelievable.
"Is this thing here?" I asked as I looked at the screen with wide-open eyes.
I couldn't deny this after seeing it with my own eyes, but... this was unbelievable.
The thing before was [Lost Knowledge] or more specifically, an [Ancient Artifact].
Before my eyes… was a [Gate].
And this was no normal thing.
This was sothing I had only seen in one ancient history book and this thing before my eyes was even grander than what I had seen.
If the books recorded it as a two to three-ter tall, this thing before my eyes... was covering an entire room of twelve ters in height, and almost double width.
This was not sothing that should be possible, but it was.
And... if this thing was here then, it ant I can get out of this hell.
But, if this was real, then what did she an by yes and no?
Seeing my confused expression, she nodded her head with pity and hope.
"As you certainly know, this is a [Gate].
An ancient artifact and ancestor of this era's [Warp Gates].
But, unlike them, this specific one can connect to any place in this world but..." she paused and looked at with a serious gaze.
A gaze filled with the words that told to prepare myself.
She was telling to prepare to hear the bitter truth about myself that I had firmly understood from the last fight.
I was ready, but this was still painful to hear after all the training and shit I had gone through.
"This [Gate] is special that can send you to your loved one and I would have happily let you use it, but... you're weak."
