Devilin smirked through the body known as Acherous.

“Doing well…”

His voice carried a quiet calm as he lowered his head slightly, his gaze narrowing just enough to sharpen his expression.

“What are you doing, Rudius?”

The question came out steady.

“You never took sides even a millennium ago… so why are you opposing us now?”

Rudius laughed.

“Ohohoho!... I am not taking any sides, Devilin.”

He tilted his head, his half-closed eyes gleaming faintly.

“I am merely fulfilling my role… to maintain bal

    [Bearda Castle, around the time Lilia saw the uninvited guest through the singular consciousness]Dargon sat upon the throne, fulfilling his kingly duties within the grand hall of Bearda.The throne room was filled with figures of power.Nobles stood aligned in two perfect columns before the throne, their white capes draped over their shoulders like symbols of authority. The chamber hummed with restrained tension—quiet voices, measured breaths, and the weight of decisions yet to be made.At the center of it all, Dargon watched from the throne, silent and observing.Acherous stood beside the throne as always, his presence sharp and unwavering. His voice cut through the murmurs, announcing the beginning of the council.“Thank you all for gathering at this moment of crisis within the capital.”The room fell completely silent.Acherous let his gaze sweep across the assembled council before continuing.“As you are all aware, the King of the Forest has demanded a meeting with His Majesty in

    [Lilia’s Chamber, Aslucia]Sierra, Niebee, and Krileekit stood side by side near the giant lotus blooming at the center of the chamber. Its wide petals stretched outward in elegant layers, each one swaying gently in its own rhythm as though moved by an unseen melody.The chamber was quiet.Too quiet.Sierra’s eyes remained fixed on Krileekit with open curiosity, while Niebee kept turning his head between them.The colossal Shadow Jaguar looked at Sierra once, then back toward the Aqualian king. Purple arcs of flame burned around the joints of his limbs in playful flickers. His tongue lolled from his open jaw while his tail swayed eagerly behind him, wrapped in the same violet fire.His expression made one thing very clear.He wanted someone to pet him.Krileekit narrowed his eyes.“You wish to ask something, human?”He planted the silver trident harder against the wooden floor, the butt of the weapon echoing sharply through the chamber.Sierra nodded immediately, almost like an excite

    [Corned, next morning around the time Nishan and Lilia stepped out his tree-house in Aslucia]The mundane village of Corned was still recovering from the terror of the previous night.Though the sun had already climbed high into the sky, most of the villagers remained asleep behind shuttered windows and closed doors. The dusty road that usually carried carts, laughter, and argument now lay almost empty. Only the breeze moved freely, pushing loose dirt in soft swirls while dragging dried leaves across the earth.From the edge of the village, Rudius stepped out of his tattered hut.His frail bony legs carried him slowly toward the tavern. The wind tugged at his ragged beard and worn clothes, yet his eyes gleamed sharply within their deep hollows. Beneath the old man’s usual smile lingered a quiet worry that refused to fade.When he reached the tavern, he paused.A horse stood alone outside the entrance.Its coat was clean, its mane brushed, and the leather saddle upon its back was plate

    [Tree House, Aslucian Territory, next morning]I woke from a deep sleep filled with strange satisfaction after the chaos of the previous day.The moment my eyes opened, I found myself once again inside the same tree house where I had first been brought after entering Aslucia. Morning light filtered softly through the open windows by the wooden walls, carrying the scent of leaves and wet bark with it.Above me, the circular carving in the ceiling released a gentle shower of tiny Helis particles.At its center, the wooden sculpture of a dancing woman seemed almost alive as blue light pulsed through the ancient dialects carved around her. The runes glowed in rhythm with the drifting particles, making it feel as though even the statues awakened in my presence.I remained lying on the soft white bed for a moment, watching the light rain fall from above.Lilia and I had gathered enough Heliron from the field of blue flowers during the night for the next domain upgrade. After that, we had re

    [Bearda Palace, around the time the Pulse of Rage scorched Northern Naturia]Dargon and Acherous remained seated within the royal bedchamber, discussing the next stage of their plans after Rudius’s sudden interference. The chamber was dim except for the candles burning upon the polished table between them. Their heads were lowered, and their expressions remained hollow with thought.“That is a serious obstacle in our path, Acherous…”Dargon’s voice came low and measured.Acherous kept his narrowed gaze fixed upon the trembling candle flame.“Yes, Your Majesty. If Rudius is truly determined to delay us until Helion reaches his prime…”He let the sentence trail away.The room grew quieter.Dargon leaned back into the tall chair, one arm rising to rest against his cheek as he considered countless outcomes in silence.Then it happened.Far away in Northern Naturia, the unconscious king lost within the white dimension released a wave of crimson force.The shockwave swept across the contine

    Lilia had no idea how long she had remained unconscious.She returned slowly through the sensation of coolness spreading across her burned skin. It moved gently over every wound like water poured upon smouldering ash. Her eyes fluttered once… then twice…When they finally opened, the blue floating sphere was gone.The ruined swamp had vanished with it.The forest had returned to the calm darkness of night, quiet beneath the silver moon. No crimson lightning remained. No boiling mud, no burning trees, only the natural hush of leaves and distant insects breathing life back into the woods.And amid that darkness, a tall figure crouched beside her.Blue Helis particles drifted from his frame in vibrant streams, illuminating the ground around him with a soft celestial glow.A whisper escaped her lips.“My lord…?”She pushed herself upright slowly.The blur in her vision faded little by little until she could finally see him clearly.The small feline form she knew was gone.In its place rem
