Dragon of "Destruction"

"Taksaka displays his power in a way very different from you."

"He isn't just different from me, he is also different from many other Nastika."

"Is it just because he is from the Dragon clan?"

"Rather, it is because of his attribute. Taksaka's source attribute is 'Destruction'... throughout all the races, there are now merely five Sura with that attribute. There were a few more originally, but the numbers have since decreased. Because there were originally so few of them, their true abilities were never clearly revealed."

"Why is the Destruction attribute so rare?"

"It isn't one of the original natural forces, but the power emitted by the Primeval God of Destruction, Shiva."

Nard pondered for a while. He had obviously never learned of this during the school courses.

"So, Taksaka has part of the power of the God Shiva."

"Yes. Originally, it should have been so."

"...? Originally so...? Is there something more to that?"

"Yes. The other Nastika with the Destruction Attribute are not as strong as Taksaka. Because Taksaka was abnormally strong, the Primeval God Visnu believed that there was something wrong, which is why he assigned us this mission."
