š Scene ā Ignorance of Power and the Cunning of Shadows
While Odin was speaking with the giants, trying to obtain any information related to the dark elvesā¦
He realized something important.
They had no idea.
Yes, they had lived for a long timeā¦
But in the end, they were nothing more than fools who relied solely on their strength, caring nothing for planningā¦ or understanding their enemies.
Odin shook his head calmly, having lost interest.
Then he said lightly: "Thank you for your time."
He looked at the giant leader, then at the elder, and gave them a slight nod of respectā¦
And in the next momentā
He vanished.
But before he disappeared completelyā¦
He let out a soft sigh.
That sighā¦
The elder happened to hear it.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, then turned to the giant leader and said with dissatisfaction: "Look at what you've done."
The leader looked at her in confusion: "What do you mean?"
She replied, shaking her head: "You've damaged our reputation in front of our alliesā¦ and made them think we're fools."
His confusion deepened: "And why is that?"
The elder sighed, realizing that explaining it here would take too long, and said: "Let's return to the depthsā¦ I'll explain it there."
She then turned and began descending slowly, while the leader followed, still lost in thought.
Far from themā¦
And far from Asgardā¦
The angel who had been sent to monitor the dragons was kneeling before the Archangel, recounting everything that had happened in detail.
He finished speakingā¦
And silence filled the place.
The Archangel thought for a moment, then turned to the angel standing beside him and said calmly:
"Go with himā¦ and take a squad with you."
Then he added firmly: "Bring me that demonā¦ alive."
The captain of the guard nodded.
Then she looked at the kneeling angelā¦
Who was, in fact, her brother.
She sighed inwardly and thought: "Even though he has grown strongerā¦ he's still a fool. Does he really think that demon would have blown herself up with him?"
At that momentā¦
The kneeling angel felt a sudden sense of danger.
He raised his head slightly, looking around the hallā¦
Then his gaze stopped at his sister.
His eyes widened in shock.
"Isā¦ the danger coming from her?"
He didn't understand.
But what he didn't knowā¦
Was that his sister was planning to teach him a harsh lesson later.
Elsewhereā¦
Lilith had no idea that a squad of angels was about to pursue her.
She stood before a dark elf priestess, who was kneeling before her, looking at her with clear confusion.
Lilith said: "You're saying the dragon prince has been severely injuredā¦ and the Dragon King is searching for a cure?"
The priestess nodded quickly, unable to hide her excitement.
She had been searching for a way to contact the Demon Kingā¦
But she had never expected the Demon Princess herself to come to her.
Thinking quickly, she said: "There's something elseā¦ Lady Lilith."
Lilith looked at her: "What is it now?"
The priestess began recounting everything she knewā¦
The news she had receivedā¦ The information given to her by the demi-human kingā¦
In full detail.
Then she finished: "I wanted to tell the Demon Kingā¦ but I couldn't. I don't have the means."
Silence fell briefly.
Thenā
Lilith smiled.
A calm smileā¦ yet carrying something unsettling.
"Don't worry," she said.
She extended her hand and added: "Take this."
As soon as she finished speakingā¦
She pulled out a strange black crystal.
It pulsed with hidden energy, as if concealing an incomprehensible secret.
The moment the priestess saw itā
Her eyes widened in shock. She took it carefully and asked: "What is this, Lady Lilith?"
Lilith smiled calmly: "It's a communication crystalā¦ but slightly different from the ones in Mira."
She paused, then added quietly: "No one can intercept itā¦ or even perceive it."
She looked at her steadily: "And it sends messages to only one personā¦ me."
The moment she finishedā
The priestess was overjoyed.
She bowed deeply: "Thank you, Lady Lilith!"
Lilith was about to add something elseā¦
To give instructionsā¦ or warningsā
Butā
She suddenly stopped.
Her expression changed.
She felt something strange.
She looked up at the sky and said in surprise: "The demonic priestā¦?"
In that momentā
She understood.
What she feltā¦ what she sawā¦
Was a warning.
Danger was coming.
She turned quickly and said: "Wait for my orders. Something has happenedāI must handle it."
In the next instantā
She vanished.
She shot forward at tremendous speed, heading toward the demonic continent without looking back.
Her instinct was clearā¦
A terrible danger was approaching.
And indeedā
The moment she left the lands of Miraā¦
She sensed several powerful auras approaching.
Her eyes narrowed for a moment, then she laughed in irritation: "Hahā¦ angels."
She understood immediately.
They were chasing her.
But she didn't stopā
She increased her speed, fleeing toward the demonic continent, and said mockingly: "Comeā¦ find me if you dare."
On the other sideā¦
The captain of the angelic guard watched Lilith, who had already become very distant.
She frowned.
She had been close to trapping her.
Butā
Lilith's sudden escape, and her swift exit from Miraā
Ruined the plan entirely.
She looked at the angels around her, shook her head, and said: "We're returning."
No one argued.
They all knew her strengthā¦ and the Archangel's trust in her.
They obeyed without a word.
As for Lilithā¦
She glanced back in annoyance.
She had wanted them to come closerā¦
To enter the demonic continent, even slightlyā¦
So the other demon rulers could eliminate them without realizing it.
Butā
She sighed softly.
"It seems the one chasing me this timeā¦ is not a fool."
She thought for a moment, then realized something important:
"My next trip to Miraā¦ won't be easy."
If the angels were this preparedā¦
Then things had become far more complicated.
She lifted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with deep thought.
"I need to inform my fatherā¦ of everything."
Everything that had happenedā
From her encounter with the angelā¦ To her meeting with the priestessā¦ To the news of the dragon princeā¦ The rare flowerā¦ And even that annoying pursuit.
She knewā¦
What was happening nowā
Was not a coincidence.
But the beginningā¦ of something far greater.
