Noel's eyes didn't have any ripple in them, after hearing this kind of news, instead he simply chuckled, as he asked, "Then what? Do you suggest, that I will die, no matter what I do?"
"Well, that's the reality of your situation." Derek inputted.
Noel stayed silent at his father's words, and seemed to go into his situation, and the reality of it once again.
What is his current problem exactly?
He asked himself, this question.
And the answer came easily.
Lack of Soul Power.
The relic would devour huge amount of soul power, and he couldn't provide all of that.
Then, what else?
Strength.
Noel's soul was not strong enough to forcefully take control over the relic.
What else?
The relic in itself.
His inablility to take it out… to sever its connection with his soul.
Noel pondered if there was any other problem, and in the end, he found the last one… time.
Noel didn't have long time to ponder over his condition after all.
He needs a solution immediately.
