One-Eyed Monster

Only Igor knows the complexities of his emotions.

Others remain unaffected.

Igor glanced at everyone else, who seemed to have just realized something, and felt a bit uneasy, but he could distinguish between priorities and knew his own limitations.

Although he didn’t know what he was about to do, he was very clear about what he should not do.

He knew he shouldn’t degrade himself because of this matter, nor should he get stuck because of it. He was meant to be an Adventurer and must not let this Spirit Book halt his steps.

Since things had come to an end, let it be for now.

He thought he would sort out this matter when he had the chance, but deep down, he wouldn’t be content until he figured it out.

But now was not the time.

The Spirit Book may have been too forceful. It had indeed been remarkable lately, but at this moment it closed its cover and went quietly to sleep.

And those who had been fervently discussing also fell silent, sitting there reflecting quietly.

It all happened too suddenly, and yet these seemingly insignificant events contained profound and complex matters.

What Soron left behind only now revealed its preciousness. What is freedom has always been a question people pondered over. Lord Soron didn’t give you the direct answer but led you to find it yourself.

When faced with power and freedom, Lord Soron chose freedom.

Only through freedom could he fully express what he wanted to convey.

This freedom provided Wizards with more possibilities.

”Come to think of it, maybe we’ve been wandering down a wrong path for a long, long time,” Yuga sighed again.

Humans are like this; once they gain something, they always have a lot to say, so they can express everything in their hearts and feel relieved.

Now, Igor had a lot of dissatisfaction within but couldn’t express it, because he didn’t understand the mystery within, so he couldn’t sigh, only watching others keep talking.

”Thankfully, we already know Lord Soron’s intentions,” Kuren chimed in.

”The will of freedom never brings profit, so abandoning it is understandable. Just look at the current Wizard Alliance,” Joseph remarked.

”Now that you mention it, I’m reminded of that guy Kuyi Tulan. His things also only considered aspects of battle,” Kevin exclaimed, deeply touched, as if he had made significant gains.

The ones sighing were the same few people, while the others remained silent like Igor, listening to whatever was being said.

All this was very natural.

The Great Witch Biggs was currently feeling her rebirth.

Indeed, this was her rebirth; she no longer needed to be restrained by those rules and could completely express herself freely.

Now she felt very free, and this freedom made her feel like crying.

The things oppressed in her heart for so many years could finally be released at this moment, and in this way. Understanding the true meaning of the Wizard Robe System, the Great Witch no longer felt any major regrets. She realized she wasn’t cut out for combat, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t be a Wizard; it just meant she couldn’t go further in the field of battle.

However, she could still evolve into a Wizard in other fields…

”This is precisely what Lord Soron always hoped to see in a Wizard!”

”Indeed, this is truly incredible,”

”Unexpectedly, on this Guru Mountain, we discovered so many unique things that’s truly astonishing.”

The sighing continued, yet Igor remained apart from everyone, preferring to connect well with the Great Witch rather than engage in discussions with others.

So Igor slowly walked up to the Great Witch, hoping to speak with her again.

Remembering how the Great Witch rarely spoke, he needed to find the right moment to talk to her, rather than being reckless.

”Uh, um…” Igor hesitated, overthinking the situation and uncertain how to initiate the conversation.

The reborn Great Witch was much better than before because previously she was depressed and in a bad mood... Her mood then was gloomy, unwilling to talk, but now reborn, she was no longer in that same gloomy mood; she was feeling good, so when Igor approached her, she already knew what he wanted.

She also knew Igor always wanted to help her, so she was grateful and more willing to help Igor at that moment.

”What, are you here for some Divination or something?”

”Uh…” Igor was taken aback; he hadn’t expected the Great Witch to respond so proactively.

”I know, I know, you’re puzzled now, like you saw a madman, right?” the Great Witch continued asking Igor. She could still discern some things from Igor’s confused expression.

”Uh… I am a bit puzzled.”

”Young one, being puzzled is expected. Only when you have these puzzles can you have the drive to keep moving forward,” the Great Witch said with deep meaning, as if explaining something simple.

”Mm!” Igor seemed suddenly enlightened, and his puzzles turned into his motivation, the very drive he would seek in the future.

These are often rare moments, and here on Guru Mountain, Igor found them all.

”So, don’t be afraid, and don’t lose heart. Sometimes, it’s not that you’re not good enough, it’s that you haven’t reached that stage yet,” the Great Witch continued speaking.

Igor scratched his head, then looked around and asked, ”Then, does the Great Witch have the chance to advance to the Holy Robe, without any more puzzles?”

”Wizard robe? I no longer need such a thing!” the Great Witch replied calmly, initially feeling a little emotional upon hearing the word wizard robe.

”Don’t need it?” Igor couldn’t understand.

”Yes, didn’t you hear them? This wizard robe restricted my development; now I don’t need to look at this wizard robe anymore!”

At that moment, Igor’s stubbornness relaxed completely, and he suddenly understood. It was quite magical; things he couldn’t figure out before suddenly made sense after exchanging words with the Great Witch...

Igor scratched his head, unable to comprehend why he suddenly understood what he hadn’t figured out before, now suddenly became clear.
