Chapter 952: Audience to the Elven Royalty

The battle totally wore me out. It's frustrating that I'm still not that great with the skill [Devouring Hunger]. Maybe it's 'cause the skill's not fully there yet, unlike the other ones I got from devouring their weapons. It's a bit like the [Incomplete Rhongomyniad]. Even though I don't see any side effects from the Versatile Weapon, I sense it lingering. Plus, I pushed that skill way beyond its limits.

"You holding up, wielder? That skill really takes a toll on you the longer you use it in a fight, you know."

"I get it, but I had to use it to stop Nobuhiko from making Hagane immortal. I'm okay... I might look a bit beat, but I'm not about to collapse."

"That's good to hear. My wielder can't afford to go down easily. But next time, go easy on that skill until it's fully developed. Even with me in control, there's a risk my hunger could get the best of you. Don't rely on it like you did in that battle."
