Chapter 80

"She… Is she dying?" – Arabel thought to the System.

— The System started responding to Arabel's question.

This Valkyrie must have been able to control her Flaw as well. Otherwise, she would not have been able to reach the "Legendary" rank. She probably encountered something that affected her disadvantage, and it got out of her control.

That was the System's assumption.

Because of this, her own element of darkness is slowly but inevitably consuming her life force

"What about me?" Arabel asked, and Idan, also paying attention, began to listen to the System's response regarding her.

[The host was not born as a Valkyrie; you received the bloodline thanks to the bloodline change potion prepared by the Supreme Alchemist System. You shouldn't have shown any flaws in the Valkyrie bloodline.

However, due to the fact that you passed the ascension trial using the bloodline change potion, you didn't have time to suppress and take control of your flaw. In addition, the System intervened and prevented you from losing your original bloodline by integrating the Valkyrie bloodline as a second additional one.

The flaw was not fixed properly, as originally planned. It manifests itself in you in the form of the influence of the element of ice on your emotions.]

As Arabel suspected, all these side effects after taking the potion were related to its flaw. The dulling of emotions, the slowing of the heartbeat, and other manifestations were all the result of her flaw.

Host shouldn't worry too much. Over time, you will be able to suppress and take control of your flaw. You have already made significant progress in this direction. Remember that you are not alone. Your partner's presence suppresses your flaw, and you won't encounter what this Valkyrie is facing

Arabel and Idan weren't sure if the System was trying to comfort them or not.

"What about me? Do Alphas have a flaw too?" Idan asked.

[No, Host. Unlike Valkyries, whose strong influence of the elements can be dangerous if it gets out of control and leads to death, Alphas have a different story.

Alphas are created from mana and the elements, and their element is closely related to emotions. The stronger the emotions, the more powerful they become. If the Alphas lose control of themselves, they will not die like the Valkyries, but on the contrary, they will become stronger.

However, this may pose a danger to others. Therefore, the System strongly recommends keeping your emotions under control and avoiding such situations. Otherwise, you risk harming your partner and loved ones].

"No matter how you look at it, it's still a flaw", Idan thought with mild annoyance. It's just that the result was different. If the Valkyrie herself died, the Alpha became a threat to others.

The more they thought about it, the more confused they became. They couldn't figure out if this was how it was supposed to be or if something had gone wrong during the ascension trial. And if so, why would the System recommend such a path to them?

After all, she was the one who suggested taking the ascension trials and changing their bloodlines at the same time.

Or are they both over-dramatizing the situation? After all, nothing irreparable happened. They just need to accept their new selves and get used to it.

All of this awakening, the System, the Other World, and the bloodline change happened in a short time. They have already lived for about 18 years, but it all came upon them in a short two months.

According to the System, the flaw of Valkyrie bloodline is not a serious problem, and the Valkyries themselves are successfully coping with it.

However, this time they were lucky enough to meet Valkyrie, who may have had a unique case.: she lost control of her flaw because of some event.

The couple talked to each other without making a sound. Sierra, who was watching them, was puzzled by their long silence after she informed them that they could leave.

She immediately noticed the strangeness in their behavior. Although they didn't say a word out loud, their thoughts seemed to flow into each other. Sierra did not feel any fluctuations in the Soul Force, and she was curious how they managed to communicate in this way.

"Okay, we get it. So why did you let us know that the Dark Valkyrie was dying? Do you have a way to save her?" Idan finally asked after some discussion.

He wondered why their System, which usually intervened only, when necessary, suddenly revealed the secret of this Valkyrie to them when she invited them to leave.

Arabel was also intrigued. She wanted to understand why the System had decided to share this information with them. After all, she must have some reason for such a step.

"So that's it," – Idan and Arabel thought, immediately realizing the hint of the System. It was as if she was telling them that they had a way to help the Dark Valkyrie. And exactly how they take advantage of this opportunity is up to them.

They can show kindness and help her selflessly, or use this opportunity to their advantage and make a deal with Valkyrie.

It all depends on the Dark Valkyrie: how much she wants to live, or has already accepted her fate and is not going to change anything.

Especially since they had a task that required them to obtain the essence of the Dark Valkyrie's blood.

"Ms. Sierra, how about a small deal?" Arabel asked after she and Idan came to an agreement on how to take advantage of the opportunity provided by the System.
