The surrounding green grass seemed to be bathed in nature's blessing, rolling freely.
The sea of flowers on the grassland shimmered in the sunlight, and the emerald green grass blades danced like fairies.
Erica's eyes gradually shifted from confusion to surprise.
Her lips curved slightly upward, like a rising crescent moon, radiating endless tenderness and radiance.
All these changes were so sudden that her joy was tinged with a sense of disbelief and unreality.
At that moment, Erica realized that she had not been cursed by hell because of that trial.
She is still a mage.
Moreover, Erica also realized what kind of power the other party was talking about.
It was the 'natural power' that she shared with Professor Victor.
Even though she has cut off the leakage of magic, these flowers and plants do not wither in the blink of an eye as they did when Persephone stayed.
Instead, they seem like living spirits, striving to grow and full of vitality in this space.
Witnessing the miracle before her eyes, Erica involuntarily lowered her head.
Gazing at my own hands, an unprecedented sense of self-awareness welled up within me.
She realized that she was different from other mages, possessing unique magic and distinctive spells.
When exactly did this power emerge?
Realizing this, Erica carefully recalled the past.
It seems that she gradually acquired these powers after she met Professor Victor.
In addition to the horrific disasters she had witnessed, Erica would always hear their inner cries.
Even more amazingly, Professor Victor was able to perfectly merge with her body.
Now, even though the world considers her an ordinary person, Erica can no longer accept that judgment.
"As expected... Father must know something about these things."
With this in mind, Erica had another reason to return to the human world.
She has to go back and ask her father properly.
It's unclear how the Queen of the Underworld intends to help them.
But now, Erica is more curious about Victor.
So much time has passed, why hasn't Professor Victor woken up yet?
Also, Erica had a question she really wanted to know, but had never been able to answer.
Professor Victor, is he already...?
"What first time?"
Suddenly, a cold yet familiar voice interrupted Erica's thoughts.
This made her heart race and her cheeks flush.
"Professor...? When did you wake up?"
"Just now."
Viktor's voice remained calm.
Upon hearing this, Erica felt a sense of unease.
She dared not think about anything else, and could only race her brain to find a new topic to distract Viktor.
Turning her head, Erica thought about their current situation.
"Professor, did you know that we haven't actually left the underworld?"
She had expected Viktor to be surprised, but his calmness surprised her instead.
"Um."
Erica was taken aback by this nonchalant answer.
It seemed as if the professor already knew this outcome.
So she stood quietly in the sea of flowers, remaining silent.
At the same time, Viktor in her heart seemed to have been silent for a long time.
A gentle breeze gradually rises, and the colorful and magnificent flower sea and grassland all sway.
Like dancers whose lights reflect each other, they gracefully dance in this vast space.
This is Victor, now a soul, quietly sensing the symbol of this land brimming with life.
Then, his calm voice, carried by the gentle breeze, broke the silence between the two.
"It seems you've begun to master this power."
Hearing Viktor say that, Erica nodded, somewhat bewildered.
"Not bad, at least we didn't waste our time."
Does it refer to that trial?
Erica began to think about it carefully.
However, she did feel that she was becoming more adept at using this natural power.
Viktor then continued:
"Now that we've adapted, let's leave."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a small, dark shadow suddenly darted out from the lush flowerbeds around him.
After circling above Erica's head a few times, it gently landed on her shoulder.
The one-eyed raven perched back on Erica's shoulder, gracefully preening its feathers with its beak.
Just as Erica was wondering where Vega had flown from, the surrounding scenery began to blur like a dream.
The colors of the flower sea and the grassland intertwined and slowly dissolved, as if the whole world was quietly changing.
The next second, the room filled with various green potted plants and countless small flowers came back into Erica's view.
She looked around, a hint of confusion and surprise in her eyes.
Her trench coat fluttered gently in the wind, as if reminding her that she had returned to her home in Persephone.
Seeing Erica still standing there in a daze, Victor's voice echoed in her mind once more:
"Let's go find that Hades first."
"I have some questions to ask him."
