Chapter 173

Seol could feel Bornuil's skin-piercing bloodlust.

'How is that... possible?'

Seol had only felt bloodlust like that from monsters and demons, never humans.

'Libra is being mind controlled? No, more importantly... who is he then?'

The evil taking the form of Bornuil answered the question.

"My name is Ur. Have you heard of me before?"

Frannan shook his head.

"I haven't."

"I see... Exactly how much time has passed?"

"Tell me... Who... and where are you from?'

Bornuil's mouth opened wide, as if it was trying to split apart.

"I... am the root."

"The root?"

Both Seol and Frannan turned pale upon hearing those words.

Bornuil sensed that his opponents understood the implications behind those words.

"Yes, those trees inside of you. They all stemmed from me."

Seol couldn't hide his shock at all.

'He's... talking about the skill trees!'

The skill trees.

Each tree had its unique shape and color, and one could make their efforts bear fruit by literally making the tree bear fruit.

'So the skill trees weren't just born on their own?'

Then how? How was Seol, who prided himself on his knowledge of Pandea, so clueless?

The man named Ur continued.

"I am the flame that was gifted to the humans... and the first wizard."

"The first... wizard? What do you mean by wizard?"

"Do you not know of wizardry?"

"I know about magic."

"Hmmm... so an imitation is the best you are capable of, I see."

"Bwahaha... Look, we neither care nor want to know whether you're the first wizard or not. The only thing I'm curious about right now is... why did you steal poor Bornuil's body?"

Ur gave Frannan a straightforward answer.

"I woke up from a long, deep sleep. I sensed my chains had grown loose, and not too long after, my consciousness settled here."

"So you have been sleeping all this time... Then why did you take Libra's body? Is it to get revenge on the ones who imprisoned you?"

"It is. However, after reading through this individual's memories, I was utterly shocked."

"Bornuil's... memories?"

"Yes, do any of you know the name 'Cron'?"

The expedition party's expressions stiffened.

"Cron? I've never heard of that name before."

"Is that so... then it truly was this person's memories. Is Cron... dead?"

"Look, regardless of whoever or whatever this 'Cron' is, does that really matter when they're likely gone?"

"Revenge was my greatest motivator, but it wasn't my only motivator."
