Chapter 403: Inner Self (1)
Dusk Soil Moon's power was often understood as 'absolute protection.' However, that was merely one of the most prominent abilities of the Twelve Divine Moons and did not encompass everything about them.
Their personalities and attributes, the things they love and hate, their dreams and hopes—the Twelve Divine Moons were beings who, like humans, lived with emotions and souls. Yet, no one ever considered this.
The reason was simple.
The Twelve Divine Moons had existed for so long that they were regarded as the most powerful and transcendent beings in existence. To associate them with something as human as emotions seemed unthinkable.
"... I'm not sure if I should really use this."
Dusk Soil Moon muttered as he stood in the center of a massive altar, larger than an Olympic stadium.
He hesitated while standing on the glowing magic circle, and Baek Yu-Seol pondered briefly.
'Well... Should he use it?'
He wasn't entirely certain either. The Root of Life had been casually discarded and left behind by the Witch Queen.
But one thing he knew for sure. No one understood the purpose of this artifact. Even in the game, when players met Soft Green Spring Moon, the supposed owner of the artifact, she herself had no idea how to use it.
Its true purpose wasn't revealed until the player holding the Root of Life encountered Dusk Soil Moon by chance and successfully used it as an affinity item.
