章節 124: Ch162. Sickness - 17 (The truth)

"The force that... Gave birth to the awakened...?" Kurt half asked, half stated.

"Yes. My name... It's Essentium."

Kurt nodded.

It was the first time he had heard that name said that way, but it wasn't the first time someone had mentioned the word Essentium to him.

Kurt remembered that very well.

"Someone once called me the Child of Essentium..." Kurt replied, a little perplexed, as if he didn't know exactly what to say. "What does that mean?"

"It means that you carry my power in your veins, in a much deeper and more primal way than your other fellow wielders, Kurt. It means that you and I, child, are... Entwined."

Kurt felt like asking what that meant, but he also felt that the answer might have something to do with another question that was simmering in his mind.

"What are the Conquerors?"

Essentium, still in the form of Nina, gave an enigmatic smile to Kurt, who remained impassive, waiting for her to answer the question.
