Rod remained silent for a while then gave his answer.
It was the truth, he felt that he had not yet fully digested the pressure brought on by being a [Demon Hunting Expert]. If he sought to advance at this point, failure was the only possible outcome!
"You must remember, a steadfast mind is the basis for a Demon Hunter to advance! We must continually lean towards the light to resist the pervasive and encroaching evil!"
The old Demon Hunter devoutly made a prayer gesture: "Open up your heart, let the Goddess help you!"
"I already did!"
Rod said impatiently.
"Your heart just isn't open enough…" The old Demon Hunter frowned: "Without achieving a complete 'sanctification' of your mind, you'll never be able to ascend to the [Sacred Warrior] of legend!"
"I know that! I'm trying!" Rod forcefully suppressed his growing frustration.
