Emmon spoke calmly.
The Dream Lady listened in silence.
No one knew how much time had passed.
Suddenly, she said:
"Fine, you can take it with you. But I hope you remember, today I, Hillin, am granting you this favor. Otherwise, even if you legendary wizards have mastered the Decomposition Technique, I could still flood Nora with rivers of blood, tipping the hard-won balance of the Blood Battle. Emmon, I do fear death, and I fear being forgotten. But the astral world's power far exceeds what you wizards imagine. When your ambitions swell in the future, remember the grace I've shown you today."
In the next moment, all the golden chains on the giant pillar shattered apart.
The blue giant's aura began to surge out.
Finally, it returned to its level-10 stature.
It opened its eyes, looked at Emmon, and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Lord Emmon."
