The black shadow began to expand continuously, and an endless abyss spread out from the darkness, completely swallowing everything around it.

All colors that were originally under the green sky were washed away.

Once it's completely black, even the outlines become indistinguishable.

The surrounding monsters vanished, leaving a suffocating silence.

Gradually, the crow flew down from the branch, stood on the ground, and adjusted its monocle.

"Although I prefer the name 'Vega' now."

The monocle above the single eye gleamed with a silver light, and it didn't look out of place against the black background.

Saphiros felt the surroundings grow colder, and the feathers on her wings trembled slightly.

She slowly supported her body with her legs, instinctively wanting to escape from here.

But……

The body was restrained.

It was as if some kind of force was completely locking down the muscles in my limbs.

"Okay, it seems I shouldn't be talking to you about this."

“You shouldn’t have too many personal thoughts.” Vega looked directly at Saphiros, his eyes showing little emotion.

But Saphiros continued to struggle, trying to break free of the strange restraints.

Vega flapped his wings and flew to Saphiros, landing on her shoulder.

"Okay, don't move around."

"Let me take a good look."

Its words seemed to possess some kind of magic, reaching Saphiros's ears.

Soon, Saphiros's white body gradually stopped moving.

His eyes became empty and lifeless, his limbs dangled, and he was forcibly lifted up and suspended in mid-air.

The blue light in Vega's eyes flickered incessantly, and a magical power emanated from his body, slowly merging into the surrounding darkness.

It scrutinized Saphiros's body closely, as if it could see right through her.

As Vega watched, he clicked his tongue in amazement and said:

"To be able to even fuse with the bloodline of a dragon, the guy who designed you must be a genius."

"I see, um, um... I've completely learned it."

Vega nodded knowingly, looking as if he understood perfectly.

"In return, let me give you a gift."

A sly look appeared in its eyes, and then Vega shook its small body covered with lush black feathers.

A feather slowly landed on Sephiroth's body. Upon contact with her white skin, the feather transformed into a beam of light and merged into Sephiroth's body.

After doing all this, Vega flapped his wings and flew up, then looked back at Saphiros.

I hope you won't let me down.

As soon as she finished speaking, her small body transformed into a black shooting star and shot into the darkness of the sky.

The boundless darkness around us began to shrink, then merged into the tiny darkness in the corner.

As the world returned to normal, Saphiros's eyes gradually cleared.

The moment the restraints were released, she suddenly knelt on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, panting heavily.

At that moment, monsters began to spawn in the surrounding area.

They emerged from beneath the green earth, struggling to pull themselves up, searching for their target.

It resembles a giant wolf, but its head is like that of a lion, with sharp claws on each toe and thick hooves on its hind feet.

The moment they saw Saphiros, their pupils contracted completely, and their limbs swung wildly as they charged toward her.

It tore open its massive jaws, filled with sharp fangs, leaped into the air, and pounced fiercely at Sephiroth.

But Saphiros, who had just regained consciousness, merely raised her head slightly, without even glancing at it.

In an instant, the long sword appeared out of thin air, flashing through the air and slashing out a circular trail of jet-black flame.

The bodies of those monsters were severed in two in just a second and fell through the air.

Bang!

The body, cut in two, slammed to the ground, splattering several streams of green blood.

The cracks in the earth opened again, slowly swallowing the halved corpses.

Saphiros slumped to the ground, her snake-like eyes wide open.

I stared in disbelief at my trembling hands...

She became stronger.

The image of the black raven lingered in Saphiros's mind for a long time.

...

Erica sat at the table, taking small bites of porridge to regain her strength.

Although she was happy that she had seen Viktor while she was conscious, but...

She slowly raised her head, cautiously observing the situation before her.

Aurelion sat in a chair, head down, looking somewhat dazed.

Meanwhile, the usually composed Knight Commander Gwen, whom she had met before, was pacing back and forth in the room, appearing extremely anxious.

The current situation does not seem to be very good.

Erica also found out about the elf who was the instigator of all this.

Former Member of Parliament, Kokote Yad.

Her identity is somewhat special, because as a former councilor, she is also the queen of the elves.

Although his incredibly sleepy appearance made it hard to associate him with the Queen.

Professor Victor went out after he woke up, as if he had something to take care of.

It's also possible that they simply want to escape this somewhat awkward place.

She looked down at the empty bowl in front of her and felt a little strength returning to her body.
