Once Lucille's words fell, Ashrik's expression turned serious. The past few days had conjured another thought in his mind.
Perhaps because the Stone had resonated with and acknowledged Lucille due to her gravity ability core, things that Ashrik had never assumed before came out one by one.
Including the uncanny dreams she had received.
All this time, Ashrik had viewed the Calamity Stone as the source of evil. Even though he had never sensed any malicious energy from it, he was still wary. After all, the apocalypse began because of it.
Then, Lucille reappeared in his life, and had also resonated with the ancient relic. Through her, he had learned to renew his perspectives.
Though his worry remained, particularly about ending the apocalypse, he reminded himself to try to be more optimistic.
