Johan was stunned by Arda's words, a creeping anxiety slowly seeping into his heart. The curse of Nidhogg—would it truly haunt him for the rest of his life? The thought struck him like a harsh slap, instilling a deep and unavoidable fear.

"Fufufu~ Are you afraid that the curse will never disappear?" Arda, the spirit of the World Tree, let out a soft, mysterious laugh, her gaze piercing into Johan's soul as if reading every doubt that plagued his mind.
