Absolute Dweller

Chapter 228

"Are you saying I have to break the core?"

[That's right.]

The miniature creature, resembling the eight-headed and eight-tailed silver snake, boldly explained its weakness.

[All of my power originates from there. The core hidden deep within me is the source of my power. If you destroy the core, which is connected to my subconscious and my self, you can kill me.]

In other words, its weakness wasn't in the real world, but in the world of the mind.

'Is this similar to what happened with Lilith?'

Since the core, which could be considered its true form, wasn't in the real world, no matter how many attacks were thrown, they were useless.

However,

'There’s no guarantee that what it's saying is the truth.'

Unfortunately, mind reading didn’t work on this creature.

Instead,

'I do have the feeling that it's telling the truth…'

I could vaguely sense that it was being truthful.

But that alone wasn’t enough to trust it.

The mini Orochi hastily continued speaking.

[Originally, this ritual was supposed to guide you into the mental world. But for some reason, that didn’t work. However, if you desire it, it could still be done. Time is running out. If you don’t act now, you’ll never get another chance.]

It spoke bluntly.

"How can I trust you? And why are you asking me to kill you? This just looks like a lie to draw me into a trap."

Honestly, it didn’t make sense.

[...I see.]

The eight heads sank into a dejected expression.

Then, as if having made a decision, it raised its head.

[Even if the core is broken, I won’t truly die. I will only return to where I originally came from.]

"What do you mean by that?"

[It means exactly what I said. I want you to help me return to where I belong. Besides, my current state isn’t normal. For some unknown reason, I’ve gone berserk and can no longer control my own power. To put it simply, I am currently being consumed by my own power. That is why I am asking you for this favor.]

Hearing this, it seemed somewhat pitiful.
