The black shadow began to expand, and an infinite abyss spread out of the darkness, engulfing everything around it.

Any color that would have been under the green sky was washed away.

When it turns black, even the outline cannot be distinguished.

The surrounding monsters all disappeared, and the silence was suffocating.

Gradually, the crow flew down from the branches, stood on the ground, and pushed his monocle.

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

The monocle above the one-eyed shimmered silver, and there was no disobedience under the black.

Saphiroth felt her surroundings turn cold, and the feathers on both wings trembled slightly.

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

But......

The body is restrained.

It's like there's some kind of force that completely locks the muscles of your limbs.

"Well, it looks like I shouldn't be talking to you about that."

"You shouldn't have too much self-thought." Vega looked at Sephiroth squarely, and there wasn't much in her eyes.

But Sephiroth struggled to break free from the strange bondage.

Vega flapped her wings and flew in front of Sapphiros, standing on her shoulder.

"Well, don't move."

"Let me take a good look."

Its words seemed to have some kind of magic in their ears, and they reached Sephiroth's ears.

Soon, Sephiroth's white body gradually stopped moving.

His eyes were hollow, his limbs drooped, and he was forcibly erected and suspended in mid-air.

The blue light in Vega's eyes flickered, and a magical energy flowed from her body, slowly melting into the darkness around her.

It scrutinized Sephiroth's body, as if to see her through.

Vega looked at it and said in amazement:

"Even the blood of a dragon can be fused, and the guy who designed you must be a genius."

"I see, uh-huh, hmm...... I learned completely. ”

Vega nodded as if she were fully understood.

"In return, let me give you some gifts."

A sly look rose to its eyes, and then Vega shook her small, overgrown body full of lush black feathers.

A feather slowly landed on Saffhiroth's body, and when it came into contact with her white body, the feather turned into a ray of light and merged into Sapphiros's body.

After doing all this, Vega flapped her wings and flew up, and then, looking back at Sephiroth.

"I hope you don't let me down."

As the words fell, the small body turned into a black meteor and rushed into the black of the sky.

The darkness around them began to shrink, and then melted into the small darkness in the corner.

It wasn't until the world recovered that Sephiroth's eyes slowly cleared.

The moment the restraint was released, she fell to her knees suddenly, her hands supporting the ground, and she gasped violently.

At this time, the surrounding monsters also began to spawn.

They emerge from beneath the green earth, struggling to pull their entire bodies up, searching for a target.

Like a giant wolf, the head resembles that of a lion, with sharp claws on each finger and thick hooves on its hind feet.

The moment they saw Sephiroth, their pupils contracted completely, and their limbs flicked rapidly, galloping towards her.

Tearing open the jaws covered in sharp fangs, he leaped into the air and lunged at Sephiroth.

But Sephiroth, who had just regained consciousness, only raised her head a little, and did not even look at it.

In just an instant, the long knife came out of thin air in his hand, flashing in the air, and slashed out a round pitch-black flame.

The bodies of those monsters, in just a second, broke in two and flew down in the air.

Bang!

The corpse, which had been cut in two, slammed into the ground, spilling several green bloodspills.

The cracks in the earth opened again, and one after another, slowly engulfing the bodies that had been cut in half.

Sephiroth sat on the ground, her eyes wide as snake's eyes.

looked at his trembling hands in disbelief.....

She's getting stronger.

In Sephiroth's mind, the figure of the black crow could not be dissipated for a long time.

……

Erica sat at the table, taking small sips of porridge and regaining her strength.

Although she was glad that she had seen Victor when she was awake, she ......

She slowly looked up, cautiously looking at the situation in front of her.

Aurelian sat in a chair, her head bowed, and she looked a little dazed.

And the notoriously calm Knight Gwen she had seen herself paced back and forth in the room, acting very anxious.

The current situation does not seem to be very good.

And the elf who caused all this, Erica naturally also inquired.

Former MP, Kocot Yad.

Her status is somewhat peculiar, as she is also the queen of the elves as a former councilor.

Although that extremely sleepy appearance, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to have anything to do with the queen.

Professor Victor went out after seeing himself awake, as if he had something to attend to.

Or maybe it's just a simple attempt to escape from this seemingly delicate field.

She looked down at the empty bowl in front of her, and felt her body regain some strength.

At this point, Erica looked up again and looked around.

It just so happened that Gwen's gaze met hers.

“…… I beg your pardon for making some presumptuous inquiries, Miss Erica. ”

"Why are you here?"

Her voice seemed a little urgent, not as calm as she had seen before.

She didn't know why.

Erica shook her pale face lightly and said in a weak voice:

"I don't know."

After all, when she woke up, she had already appeared here.

Gwen stood still, staring at Erica.

She could feel that Erica's tone was indeed sincere, and that there was no way to fake her expression and frailty.

But......

She had never missed her heart so much.

Why did the ability to see through lies disappear?

Being stared at by Gwen like this, Erica felt a little more pressure in her heart, and pursed her lips.

"Miss Gwen, you know ......"

"Before that, I had been training in the North and had never left."

"But ......"

Erica told everything about the situation.

Including the fact that the huge black dragon appeared in the north and appeared in the sky above the Pale Wizard Society.

General Vladimir resisted desperately, was seriously wounded, and was almost on the verge of returning to the west.

Erica then continued:

"When that monster appeared in the sky above the North, I could feel exactly it, staring at me."

"And I seem to be able to hear it."

As if reminiscing, she continued:

Erica was supposed to evacuate with the inhabitants of the North, but as if there was a force, she made herself look up at the monstrous monster.

Above the sky, the black dragon's eyes were still staring at her.

And Erica seemed to be able to hear the voice in the black dragon's heart.

"Follow me...... Get out of here. ”

"That's what the voice said to me."

Erica bowed her head and said very clearly.

The rest of the story is familiar.

Erica took the initiative to find the black dragon, stopped its wrath, and saved thousands of lives in the north.

So, I left with it. When I woke up again, I was here. ”

Hearing this, even Aurelian raised her head and looked at Erica.

Gwen's eyes were even more moved.

If the matter is true, then the girl in front of her has saved tens of thousands of residents in the north with her own strength.

Her sacrifice made Gwen feel respected.

It's hard to fake, after all, if things are as Erica says, all the tens of thousands of inhabitants of the north can see clearly.

Then the news of such a big thing will definitely spread.

It only takes a little inquiry to know if what Erica said is true.

"Hmm...... Do you know the elemental attributes of that monster? ”

At this moment, Cocott suddenly spoke, and she sat on the clouds, her arms folded.

Monsters all have elemental attributes, which determine what corresponding elemental skills they can use.

For example, the monsters that live on the volcano basically belong to the fire element, while the monsters of the wood element naturally exist in the forest.

There is also a restraint relationship between these elemental attributes.

And these are all the basic knowledge taught by the college.

Erica nodded in conviction.

"It's the wind."

As she spoke, she fell into a burst of memories:

"The black dragon's body poked out from between the gloomy clouds, and a raging storm was around it."

"Hurricanes swirled up from the ground, and even those hard ice rose from under the surface of the sea, and were torn by the storm and turned into ice crystals."

Kocot listened to Erica's description, closed his eyes, and nodded.

"Uh-huh, that's true."

Aurelian hurriedly looked up at Cocott.

"Councilor Yad, are you ...... What do you know? ”

"Uh, what's this?"

Cocott was a little distressed, and did not answer directly, but looked back at Erica.

"But I'm curious as to why this monster came to you."

"By the way, I remember that you had a serious illness before, do you remember that you were covered with bright flowers and plants?"

Erica nodded.

"Remember, that was about a month or two ago."

As for the last time she was unconscious, Erica still remembers it vividly.

Kokot nodded, and looked at Aurelian again.

"Little princess, do you remember when you were taken to the Mage Council by Victor?"

Aurelian nodded hurriedly.

It was precisely because of that time that Aurelian experienced first-hand how powerful her teacher was.

But Kocot held his chin as if he understood, stared at Erica, and nodded slightly.

"Well, I do understand something."

In her eyes, there was a little surprise.

Because......

Just as the Wind Plague found Erica.

The resurrection of the Wood Calamity, and the period of Erica's illness.

Time, right.
