Ingvild : Auntie what is he saying??
Ingvild : Furthermore how is he still alive??
Ingvild : No wait, i'm still like this in the air thanks to him??
Katarea smiled wryly as the barrage of questions she got from her niece and proceeded in answering them one by one...
First, she explained about his Sacred Gear and his functions about Death and Revival and the meaning of his pillars...
Then how they met and how she has agreed to become his if he could truly save you which prompt her to ask him later how he truly healed her...
Hearing everything from her aunt, Ingvild, become beat red from the embarrassment especially the part of his pillars being his girlfriend even more so when her aunt become one...
Ingvild : Then if i accept becoming his pillar i can move?? Isn't that the same as having a peerage??
Katarea : Yes, although fundamentally they are different...
Ingvild : How so??
Katarea : Being his Pillar is the ability of his Gear, meaning that he can bind people that already belong to other Peearage or have formed a peerage...
Ingvild : So if i become his pillar i can later form my peerage as well if i get my pieces??
Katarea : Correct, or you can join one...
Ingvild : But based on what you told me aren't i already his Darkness Pillar since i killed him in my awakening??"
Ingvild : And actually how did i do that??
Haoh : Ah, i can tell you that...
Both of them looked at him and waited for his answer, however before they could hear what they wanted both of them heard something else...
Haoh : Don't you think its time to get down here instead of being trapped up there??
Haoh : You already know the way...
Ingvild : Aahh right...
Ingvild closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she collected herself and accepting her situation which wasn't that bad...
After all, he did save her...
Thinking that, she suddenly felt her body freefall before Katarea caught her in a princess carry and both of them landed down...
Haoh : Good... As you are half and half, you managed to gain a Longinus capable of controlling the seas and Dragons...
Haoh : However your powers needed to tune with your Gear to fully awaken it...
Haoh : Unfortunately before that happened you fell ill...
Haoh : It is a special disease that makes Devils feel drowsy and lose their power in short terms and unexpected periods and sometimes their powers are running amok killing them from inside out...
Katarea : Wait if it is that disease that all devils with no exception get, why no one treated her before??
Haoh : Because she is half-devil and half-human, this made her more vulnerable to it causing her to feel asleep all the times at first...
Ingvild : Then why did i sleep for 100 years??
Haoh : Your powers started running amok and you were supposed to die if it wasn't for your Gear absorbing enough not to harm you...
Haoh : But the process was too slow... Part of that energy was used in keeping you asleep and young while the other was used in slowly awakening your Gear...
Haoh : That's where i came in, i used the power of Ophis The Infinite Dragon and stirred your Gear and as it absorbed that power it also absorbed every ounce of your magic...
Haoh : This solved your disease, enabled you to wake up but as your Gear awaked at that time, me as i possess the Boosted Gear in my heart, paid the price and died...
Katarea : Wait, you mean that eventually, her Gear would have activated on its own and eventually healed her in the process??
Haoh : Yeah, but i don't know how much time that would have taken...
Haoh : If she was lucky possibly months, if she was unlucky another 100 years...
