Although Lucien could not clearly see what lay within the glass sphere, his mind and instincts screamed at him—
That thing was meant for him.
Lucien drew in a deep breath, slowly stepping closer to the sphere before him.
"So hot..." He frowned, muttering under his breath.
The nearer he came, the higher the temperature rose. Yet strangely… his Chimera Assimilation Method began circulating on its own.
"It seems… this really does belong to me..." Lucien murmured. "But what exactly is it? Fire?"
He tried to press closer, but with every step, the heat grew more intense—so much so that worry and fear began gnawing at him.
"Circulate Chimera Assimilation. Try to use the energy to seize it."
"Disciple!"
Hearing Lilith's voice, Lucien's heart leapt with joy.
"Don't waste words." Lilith snapped: "Do exactly as I say."
Lucien nodded firmly. He knew his Master, Lilith, had long fallen into slumber due to depleted energy.
