Noya might disappear.

Moreover, the fact that he is fading away is my fault.

Hearing those words brought back memories of the past.

‘Then, was Noya losing consciousness all this time because of that?’

Not only had he been stopping the vessel from breaking as I turned into a dragon, but—

‘As my cultivation level and soul grew stronger, his power was weakening.’

In other words, the stronger I became, the weaker Noya grew, and now he was vanishing.

"……."

I couldn't bring myself to speak.

I ran my hand through my hair, messing it up.

I bit down on my tongue, chewing on it absentmindedly.

I must have bitten down hard—blood oozed out, filling my mouth with its iron tang.

What should I do? What am I supposed to do now?

Because I grew stronger, Noya could no longer return. Worse yet, now that I had reached transcendence, the deterioration of his soul was accelerating.

I couldn't stay close, but leaving him as he was would be dangerous too. I needed to keep my distance.

‘…If I had known this would happen.’

Would I have forced myself to grow stronger?

I had no choice. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have survived. It was something I had to do.

But knowing this now, it made me sick to my stomach.

Reaching transcendence had felt profound, but if this was the price—@@novelbin@@

‘I…’

What should I do?

What am I supposed to do now?

I was absentmindedly touching the barrier when—

"If you understand, then step back."

"……!"
