"What gift is Crystal talking about?" Merlin wondered, curiosity stirring within him.
He wanted to go with them, but Crystal had said he still needed rest after just waking from a long sleep.
"[Don't you know, Master? Haven't you read the novel?]" The system's voice echoed in his mind.
Merlin rubbed his chin, recalling the events of the novel.
Suddenly, his eyes widened as he remembered the ending of the Grail of Time arc.
"Wait a minute! Could it be the Blood Essence of the Tharot family's Founder?" His heart pounded.
The Blood Essence was the family's most precious treasure.
It was said to be a mechanism capable of awakening the bloodline of an ancient bird named Zephyros.
With this bloodline, the Founder had reached the highest stage, now known as the First Spirit Core.
But in the novel, Luna hadn't used it for herself—she had given it to Abel.
The process was even stranger: Crystal used Luna's body as a vessel before transferring the bloodline to him.
