Chapter 326: And It Was Winter (2)
The moment Keter told Daat his Authority, Daat nodded.
That’s so like him.
An Authority that allows him to be bound by nothing. Now everything made sense.
Keter’s unpredictable, lightning-fast movements weren’t just hard to deal with—they were practically impossible to handle. To stop someone like that, opponents naturally relied on binding-type magic, but none of it had ever worked on Keter.
Keter had been able to escape the eon-binding spell of Krona, the Lord of the West and the Space-Time Wizard, as well as the Three Thousand Worlds, Ivan’s ultimate spell. All of this was thanks to Unchain.
Keter hadn’t known from the start. He realized it during the Sword of the South Tournament because of Ailos’ Deep Dark Fantasy. That spell isolated a space; the inside and outside were completely separated so that entry and exit were both impossible. Yet Keter had walked in and out freely. He had tried leaving on a whim, and it worked. That was when he realized that the Authority he possessed in his previous life, Unchain, still applied in this life.
Big Brother said he has two Authorities. The first is Unchain from his past life... then the second must be the one he gained in this life. What could it be?
Authorities weren’t random. They were deeply tied to a person’s personality, psyche, and desires. Weaponmaster Eslow’s Authority reflected his desire to turn everything into a weapon. Cray, the Ghost Face Slayer, gained an Authority meant to kill all who knew of his existence. Like this, Keter’s refusal to be bound by anything manifested as Unchain.
Then what is his wish in this life?
Daat suspected it was probably the revival of Sefira and the killing of Queen Lillian. He was extremely curious what kind of Authority that would become, but there was no need to rush. The moment would come.
He’s going to fight Lord Eslow. There’s no way he can win while hiding his Authorities.
Keter was going to fight Eslow, and Daat knew Keter would use his Authorities then.
