Roy's suspicion was confirmed.
The soul-intoxicating wine could really help ex-rank soul herders awaken once again, but one can benefit from it only one time.
It was exactly what Arnard had used to awaken a third time as a soul herder and get his third soul-herding ability.
He gave a bottle to Damien to reward him for dominating the adulthood ceremony and bringing glory to their clan.
It wasn't much use to Damien as his soul was ridiculously unique and strong, so he shared it with others.
'Since I have awakened a second time as a soul herder, where's my second ability?'
Right then, Roy felt a gate to a new world opening up for him.
'Huh? This feeling is amazing.'
