Chapter 408: The Traveler

After Megan left, Luke sat down in an armchair, picked up a book, and began to pretend he was reading. In fact, his head was taking in all the information that Balance had acquired. Keeping his eyes open, Luke began to concentrate to get inside his soul.

Luke and Balance then met again, they were both in that white, brightly lit, confusing room. Now the feeling of being there was a little less uncomfortable as if understanding that energy made that place more stable. Luke now didn't feel guilty about that gigantic energy, which came from the death of hundreds of innocent people.

It was not a lack of empathy, but an understanding that he could not do anything about the catalyst of that flow of power. Something he also realized was how his mana did not decrease but rather increased over time. Which made him understand that these souls just started a process, like a spark that started a flame that only increases.
