After the life-burning that even Official Sorcerers would find shocking, the bloodsucking Banshee within Aaron finally melted away, and a gigantic bird with pitch-black wings, whose specific shape was indiscernible, emerged!
Aaron's willpower started to surge once again!
At the same time, a bloodline message automatically surfaced in his mind, compelling him to recite as if by instinct;
"The Bird of Hermes is my name, eat my wings to tame your heart!"
"The Bird of Hermes?!"
"Is this the ultimate bloodline that I've traced back to after expending nearly ten thousand years of my lifespan?"
Aaron felt the strength in his body but remained indifferent as he pondered the meaning of the phrase within his bloodline.
'The Bird of Hermes... represents the symbol of eternity, the ultimate in alchemy...'
'Devouring one's own wings to gain dominion over one's heart... does it symbolize a sacrifice, a transcendence, or even... a kind of offering?'
