Chapter 46: Annihilation (Part 1) [5/20]

'Power…'

As Renji spoke, images from Eileen's life over the past decade flashed through her mind like a rapid slideshow.

Six years ago, when her father lost control and became a "Tainted Corpse" and was killed by the church, she was too young to understand what power meant. She only knew it as the demon that took her father away.

After her mother was expelled from the church and their wealth became worse by the time, during the days of poverty when she and her mother relied on each other, she began to understand her father's actions. She realized the importance of "power".

And when the latent danger from six years ago manifested with her mother falling severely ill due to the accumulated Tainted Miasma, Eileen felt her own weakness in the face of exorbitant medical bills.
