The Power of Desire

Globally, the Phantoms had many different worldviews, some believing in equality between humans and Phantoms like Azure Lotus or something more radical like Crimson Path.

Still, the Phantoms could not resist their nature despite their ideology. Logic and politics were one side, but inner desires were quite another.

Things varied from Phantom to Phantom, but many of the stronger Phantoms often experienced the pure pleasure of fighting monsters.

True, every fight with a monster was dangerous and could lead to death, especially against strong monsters. However, the Phantoms had two solid reasons to feel pleasure in seemingly dangerous situations, even if they were drenched in blood and badly wounded, and any mistake could lead to their death.

In defeating monsters, the Phantoms felt the same joy that ordinary people felt when they achieved some success, whether it was a project at work, a relationship, or a successfully passed exam.
