“But why am I dreaming about the Primordial Dragon King? And so often?” Noa asked, confused.

Leon thought for a moment. “When did you start having this dream?”

He had a good guess but wanted to confirm.

“After we returned from the Far North,” Noa replied without hesitation.

The two exchanged a glance, and as they put all the pieces together, the answer began to take shape.

Noa’s recent unusual symptoms seemed to be linked to the Primordial Dragon King’s ruins they had explored beneath the ice in the Far North.

Right after they returned, Leon and Rosvisser had brought in the best healers in the clan to give Noa a full check-up. Physically, she appeared fine, aside from a mild injury to her right hand.

But considering the nature of the ancient dragon ruins, a clean bill of health didn’t guarantee everything was truly normal.

Leon took it seriously.

If something were really wrong with his precious daughter, he’d take down Konstantin first, then wreck the ruins for good measure. Leon wasn’t the kind to waste time with “I-told-you-so” talks; he was more of the “action-first, lecture-later” type.

But right now, the focus was on solving Noa’s problem.

“When you interrupted Konstantin’s power absorption, it caused an explosion as your magic collided with the Primordial Power. This blast let you stop him, correct?”

Noa nodded.

Leon thought for a moment, then suggested, “You might have accidentally absorbed some of the Primordial Power yourself. And because you can’t control it, certain… let’s say ‘substances’ embedded in that power might be causing your dreams.”

Noa blinked, curious about this new idea. “Substances embedded in the power?”@@novelbin@@

“Yes, it’s difficult to define exactly. Some scholars believe they’re the souls of those who’ve passed, while others think they’re fragments of the deceased’s memories,” Leon explained. “But it’s widely accepted that the magic we wield—”

He raised his hand, and blue sparks crackled in his palm, “—does carry certain traces. If a person’s physical form perishes, but their power and the ‘substances’ within it are preserved, it can sometimes be revived through certain types of magic.”
