Shard held the sword, once again attempting to infuse it with his spirit, and the angel's shadow appeared behind him once more. This time, Shard clearly felt he could control the shadow more smoothly.
Though he did not intend to hold this sword for a long time, using it briefly was still fine.
Having asked the questions he came to ask the angel, Shard initially planned to take his leave. Hesitating for a moment, he still chose to ask another question:
"About [Desire]..."
"That is your desire."
The angel continued smiling:
"Your desire, you have to face it yourself, no one can help you with it."
She once again lightly touched the spot on Shard's left chest with the tip of her long staff, and golden fragments splashed outward from the point of contact, making Shard feel considerably "cleaner" all over, but that's all.
"I have applied purification to you, but it turns out, you weren't cursed and weren't inhabited by the power of that mermaid. Everything is just because of you."
