Zena looked at Nina. "I'm sorry, Nina. I did lie just now. I was never searching for any males, and I've never been to Sin Beast City."
"Can you tell me why you lied?" Nina asked gently.
She had a feeling Zena must have her reasons.
"I…" Zena hesitated, unsure whether she should speak.
"Zena, just say it. Maybe we can help you," Taru added.
"You can't help me." Zena's voice was bleak. "No one can help me."
Except the Beast God.
"I can't promise we can solve everything, but we can think of a way together. There might be a chance," Nina said.
Zena bit her lip, still wavering.
After a long silence, she finally gathered her courage. She wanted to try. She didn't want to go on like this anymore.
She looked at Nina. "Nina, can you tell me why your ability is so powerful?"
"I was born with it. The level comes from later training," Nina replied.
Though, in truth, the spirit pearl had helped her progress much faster.
