"Huff... huff... huff..."
Kallen began gasping for breath. Fortunately, this time he had successfully suppressed his Hunger Addiction with the Flame of Light alone. Unfortunately, past experience told him that after several successful suppressions, a major outbreak was inevitable.
I have to find a way... I can't use the [War Scythe] to deliver a slash every time it flares up, then spend more than half a month in a wheelchair, can I?
"Is it over?" Neo asked with concern.
In fact, Neo had noticed as soon as Kallen's episode began, but he had deliberately continued their previous topic instead of asking pointless questions like "How are you feeling?" or "Are you all right?"
It wasn't as if he could go over and set Kallen's soul alight with the Flame of Light.
Hmm?
Actually, it seems I could.
"I'm fine." Kallen shook his head. "Just a little hungry. Ordinary hunger."
"Ah, your situation really is something of a dead end. As for me, though it was painful in the past, I got used to it over time. I could even find enjoyment in it. With yours, there's really no way to get used to it."
Neo knew that if Kallen chose to stop resisting and get used to it, the price would be that he would suddenly go mad, kill those around him, and devour their souls.
"I'll keep looking for a solution." Kallen could only comfort himself with empty words.
Even the God of Order hadn't found a solution. Hadn't his attempt with Ankara failed too?
"Yes, there's bound to be a way." Neo echoed his empty words. "Come on, let's get a late-night snack. What do you want?"
"Barbecue. I want some meat to bite into."
"I was honestly worried you'd say you wanted something light. Let's go."
