It didn't take long for the rest of the people to realize who had appeared in the sky.
The moment Mika uttered the name 'Nadia' a wave of realization swept through the gathered crowd like wildfire.
"W-Wait, is that…?" Someone in the back gasped.
"It's her! It's really her!" Another shouted.
And then came the explosion of hope.
"LADY NADIA!!"
"THE CELESTIAL MAIDEN!!"
"THE BATTLE ANGEL OF ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION IS HERE!!"
"LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO!!"
"WE'RE SAVED! SHE'S HERE, SHE'S REALLY HERE!!"
It was like watching people who had been condemned suddenly given salvation.
Panic turned to cheering. Tears turned to cheers. The despair in their eyes vanished, replaced with trembling awe and unrestrained relief.
It wasn't just her raw power that gave people faith.
Nadia—no, the Celestial Maiden—was more than a battlefield savior. She was the people's shield.
