Chapter 333.2
Eugene deduced that the creatures’ inclination to follow her was likely connected to Ramita. Slowly, she was becoming attuned to her own identity and could now sense Ramita’s presence. Nevertheless, the extent of Ramita’s abilities still eluded her comprehension.
Ramita possesses the power to bring about the death of larks… She acknowledged that not all larks responded uniformly to this ability. While Sang-je searched for a formidable Ramita to meet its end, the turtle-like creature she had encountered in the sanctuary did not harbor a desire for death.
As her fingers caressed Abu’s head, her mind drifted in contemplation. Back then, both Abu and the little one must have fled because they didn’t want to die.”
Eugene sensed a distinct peculiarity in the behavior of the little one who trailed her, recognized even by the Fire King. This connection extended to the Fire King’s own creature, which responded to Eugene’s presence much like a butterfly drawn to a flower brimming with nectar.
Basically, larks don’t harm Anikas under any circumstances. So whether Ramita is strong or weak, the fact that larks are reacting means something. My Ramita is strong… In metaphorical terms, I’m like a flower that emits a strong fragrance from a distance.
A sudden realization struck Eugene, causing her to withdraw her hand from petting Abu.
“When I turned that giant rat into wood, I was scared, and when Abu and the little one fled from me, I was angry. Both times, it was driven by negative emotions. So… what happens when I’m in a positive emotional state?”
As Eugene pondered this, Abu nestled against her hand, and she sensed something subtle leaving her. Startled, she quickly pulled her hand away, watching in wide-eyed astonishment as Abu rolled on the ground, resembling a cat that had just encountered catnip, radiating satisfaction.
“Eugene.”
