Niken never had the desire to be the strongest. She just wanted to be stronger than today so that she wouldn't become a burden to those who protected her.
"I don't want to be the strongest. I just want to be strong enough so that I can protect the people I love."
"That's a good thought. I'm sure you won't stray from your path."
Niken smiled slightly at the support from the ocean lord's familiar spirit. "By the way, is there really no way to help Flynn?"
Aqua chuckled in an amusement tone as she realized that Niken still hasn't given up thinking of a way to save the soul-eater daemon.
Aqua was about to reply that there was no other way to let Flynn die in peace when she realized something.
She remembered that there had not been any evil spirits that had returned to their original state before this because no one could restore their condition. Turning the evil spirit back into pure itself was impossible, and yet, Niken could do it.
