Chapter 26: Thirst for Life
“?! … So, you’re still here…”
It was the Lord’s voice. He was simply too tenacious that I would have laughed out loud if I could.
Horus Carmon’s illusion stood before me and scowled.
“Don’t tell me… you came back… for my body? Sorry… but all that’s left of it… is my head!”
“Fool. I have no power to do that. Because you swallowed me! I’m no more than a remnant of my remnant now.”
“Does… a remnant of that… remnant exist… then?”
“End, you will die. Had you surrendered your body to me, this wouldn’t have happened.”
However, that would have been the same as death. No different from now.
Maybe he was speaking the truth about not having enough power, for he did not seem like he was trying to pull something. It would have been great if he could have helped me, but an illusion is not really all that useful.
