"How will we know if we don't try?"
Shard stood in the stable and said:
"Once I've dealt with the demon, I'll go to the Heart of the Earth to find you."
"Before that happens, there might be some other matters."
The Guardian watched Shard:
"Even if there are hundreds of souls resisting the twisted power of the Earth together, even if the Heart of the Earth shields me, by the time you see this clay incarnation, I might have already gone mad."
"Hmm..."
"I've tried my best to seal myself underground, but there's still a chance I might break out from the earth and become... some sort of terrifying Evil Object."
Shard wasn't surprised at all:
"Is there a way to reverse it?"
"If the power of the Heart of the Earth can return to normal, I can also return to normal."
The Guardian said expressionlessly.
"It's impossible. The purpose of the ceremony is to restore the Heart of the Earth to normal."
