Bab 1311: Saint Emperor [9]

What did it mean to destroy a concept?

It was different for everyone, but to Damien, it meant breaking a shackle.

He was prone to destruction, but he wasn't a slave to it. He never destroyed anything meaningless, and even when he did cause mass destruction, it was always purposeful.

Intent mattered more than the action to him.

The things he wanted to see broken were inhibitions. Whether those were physical in the form of enemies or barriers, or ethereal in the form of emotions or bottlenecks.

What shackles did he have to break now?

Not obvious ones like the Saint Emperor, but ones hidden deep within the recesses of his mind, ones he thought were long exterminated.

There were a few answers, but they weren't easy to find.
