"You merged yourself with this separate pocket of the spirit realm… but wouldn't that cause you to indirectly get inflicted with corruption if this place suffers it too?"
Hearing Rio's question, Ellie hesitated but then said,
"When I found this place centuries ago, miasma was not so active around it… but ever since I have merged myself with this place, miasma has become very active around it…"
"It's been constantly trying to corrupt the grand seal but gets purified again and again… the same is true for me… I am also in a constant state of corruption and purification…"
Ellie seemed to hide many things, but Rio didn't dare to ask too deeply, as he knew that it might evoke the pain she was desperately trying to forget.
As everyone knows, miasma is a partially self-conscious existence; it likely already had marked Ellie to be its toy the moment she was born in this spirit realm and was corrupted for the first time.
