This avatar had traits similar to those of the Great Will.
Its vast, scorching Consciousness Sea would dissolve every consciousness it swallowed, gradually digesting them into part of itself...
Only after drawing it into my body did I realize I had been duped. This was a blatant trap!
Now, I had lost contact with my body-my shell-and all that remained was my consciousness, powerless to do anything.
Consciousness had no physical form. Mine looked like a large, colored blob, gradually being absorbed and digested by the Avatar of the Great Will. The process felt like soaking naked in water heated to sixty or seventy degrees Celsius-unbearable torture.
But the one it had originally wanted to devour was the Proxy.
I hoped drawing it into my body had saved the Proxy...
"Miluno!!"
Saved her, my ass! Hadn't she gotten swallowed too?!
She shouted as well:
"We fell for it!"
Although she, too, was a blob of consciousness.
Strangely enough, the instant I saw her, I knew who she was.
Unlike me, exposed and being digested, she had wrapped her consciousness in a Bubble Membrane. After coming closer, she coated me in one as well.
Could magic be used even when we were nothing but consciousness?
"This can slow down the devouring process. We have to hold out until someone comes to rescue us... Hehe, we're just like people who fell into an ice cavern in the Arctic~"

But with this protective membrane, the digestion really did slow down considerably. Even inside the avatar's Consciousness Sea, it no longer felt quite so awful.
Why could she still laugh at a time like this?
"Don't forget who you are. Hold on
