The Human Emperor that had been slumbering within the Human Emperor Sword stared at Liora and let out a quiet sigh.
"So things have come to this after all. It's all my fault for being too ambitious..."

His aura was constantly flowing away. The longer he remained awake, the weaker he became.
Given enough time, he would simply dissipate and return to the outside world.
Realizing this, Liora inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Even so, several doubts surfaced in her mind.
Fortunately, there was someone who could answer them.
"How did you end up in such a state?", Liora asked before adding:
"With your strength, there should be no one in the entire secret realm capable of injuring you, much less killing you."
In fact, Liora already had a faint suspicion.
