Guding withdrew from Hake's Soul Space, and Hake swiftly regained full control of his body and woke up.
"Did it work?" Becca looked at Hake with a hint of wariness and asked Guding.
"Yes, it's taken care of," Guding replied with a smile.
"However, the fluctuations emanating from his body still faintly carry the sense of that Will Projection from before," Becca whispered to Guding through a Transmission.
"That's because the Will Projection tried to forcibly assimilate his consciousness, but instead, he ended up consuming it. Now he can use a portion of the Soul Slaying Blood Blade's energy," Guding explained through a Transmission.
"How can you be sure it's really Hake and not the Will Projection in disguise? You know, that Main Divine Artifact is from an ancient era and could possess intelligence no less than that of humans," Becca was still not entirely at ease.
