‘It’s so warm.’

Just looking at it made him feel pleasantly warm. When Gi-Gyu focused on it even more, his sight zoomed into it like a camera. Now, he could even see the details in that wisp of light. 

‘It’s so small.’

Surprisingly, this wisp was smaller even up close, unlike all the other things he had seen so far. The tiny orb-like light shone brightly, producing enough warmth to seemingly melt his mind. However, looking at it also gave him a sudden burst of vigor. 

Pure light. 

In a way, Gi-Gyu could see some similarities between this light and death.

‘Life.’

Gi-Gyu had a feeling that this was what he had been looking for. 

-I guess you found it. 

Lou confirmed his suspicion. This wisp of light was the life force he had been looking for—it was El’s Root and just as powerful as Lou’s Death. 

‘What do I do now?’ 

Gi-Gyu succeeded in seeing the life force but now what? His heart began to pound wildly since he was now closer than ever to getting El back. 

-Not even close. We still have a long way to go.

Lou’s words brought Gi-Gyu back to reality.

-Are you ready?

‘Ready for what?’ When Gi-Gyu asked, Lou explained. 

-That wisp holds as much power as Death....
