The Spirit Queen could not comprehend what had just happened.
Her spirits had been moments away from anchoring themselves deeper into Armin's soul during the inheritance phase, yet the golden pocketwatch had glowed with a brilliance that burned them back…
Although she wasn't hurt, she knew that the Spirits within Armin's shadow had weakened.
She couldn't help but clench her fists as she tried to analyze theitem.
'That trinket… I examined it before. It was ordinary. How could it resist me?'
But the truth was something she had never known.
The pocketwatch was not ordinary at all. It had once belonged to Vale himself, and even if through his Divine Extraction System, he had already drawn out most of its accessible power, it was still a mystical item.
He had used its extracted energy to strengthen his own path, gaining insights and resources that had helped him rise to Immortality.
