"In truth... Ever since you've absorbed the Demon King's blood, your mind has been corrupted."
I narrowed my eyes.
"How's that possible if my Mental Resistance is maxed out?"
"Just because it's at the max level doesn't mean it can fully counter something. Think of level 100 as a 99% resistance to something. That 1% can damage you severely, and that's what happened to you."
He fiddled around with the stick and continued:
"Every time you spilled blood. Every time you felt angry... Every time you activated that Wrath power, your mind was being demonized."
"The cure for that was to shock your mind, then invade your heart with foreign energy, and lastly, fix the problem at its source."
With that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a palm-sized crimson fragment.
"Recognize this?"
"..."
I do.
That's the pulsating crimson fragment that was inside my heart.
The same fragment I used to activate my Wrath Transformation.
Adam let out a sigh.
