After the room quieted down.
Firina looked at his vine-like body with great interest.
"Lord Lear, have you already taken that step?"
Lear nodded.
"That's right... By chance."
"Then this chance is not simple... How many people have spent a lifetime thinking to break through, only to linger outside the door."
"My father, for this, even fell into madness..."
"Duke Lorand? Isn't he currently in seclusion for a breakthrough?"
"No, three years ago, he was already corrupted by the Abyss trying to take that step... He's still asleep in the dungeon of Lorand City at this moment."
As Firina spoke of this, her gaze dimmed somewhat.
"No one would have thought that the wise and mighty Duke Lorand, an extraordinary being with immense reputation across the Northern Territory, would be corrupted by the Abyss... Had I not discovered it early, he might have already fallen into becoming a Demon."
With that, without waiting for Lear's response, she waved her hand.
