Shard couldn't help but sigh inwardly at that mermaid's twisted sense of humor, and Richard actually didn't object to that view:
"This world is heading toward calamity and ruin. If you can use her Power to aid Civilization, then that's fine as well. I hold fast to my own Justice, but I don't demand that others be the same as me... But be very careful; always remind yourself—are you using her, or is she using you?"
"Yes, I'll be careful."
"Then, farewell forever."
Richard said, and Shard also nodded:
"Farewell forever."
The originally blurry figure flickered once more, then vanished completely. At the same time, the notebook pierced through on the ground by the Longsword finished its crystallization entirely. Even with Shard standing right beside it, he could only perceive an extremely faint Whisper Element. Even the element of the simplest Poet-Level Relic was far more distinct than this.
