The atmosphere was crackling with usual lightning and dark clouds high up above.
Lilith and others were surrounded by Valen, Mohak, and one more Empyrean-order powerhouse…which was a beast.
It was a hound, to be exact, but with otherworldly ice-blue fur crackling with red and indigo lightning.
Maleina had just finished uttering her sentence when a thundering and tearing lightning crackle, along with a howl, rumbled in the sky.
That howl came from the two-meter-tall and three-meter-long beast that floated to Valen's right.
Valen turned the hound and bowed on one knee.
Lilith's eyes narrowed, her aura rising.
'From what I know of Valen, he wouldn't risk his all for a measly daughter,' Lilith said to others spiritually.
'But they are here, and he is kneeling before that hound, the most dangerous one of the Empyrean-order out of the three.'
Erix, Rin, and Lily were surprised upon hearing that.
