[Lucy's POV: ]
Dark shadows made from the corrupted power so powerful it gave off the same aura as the divine messengers and the demon knight, resembling the sorrows of the core, the emperor in this case materialised before us.
One resembled a woman, pretty and sad. Even after being made of completely darkness she was as attractive as someone one would see only among the royals of the powerful nations.
She was holding a sword, there was a smile on her sad face, and she was with another shadow that resembled s little younger version of the emperor.
He had some facial hair, unlike his current appearance. And, there was more softness in his eyes than what one could find in the eyes of the current emperor.
He was not holding any weapons and instead, his hands were covered pointy thorns, the tips of which seemed to be covered in poison.
