While the team rested, Rania opened up to everyone regarding the thing she noticed when they were fighting the Dark Grypus.

"There was this darkness—like a black smoke coming from the monster's body," Rania explained. "Then it went to Fauna, and her head started to ache. I thought it was the miasma, but none of you seemed to notice it."

"Yes, I didn't see anything like that—only the miasma around the shrine," Elliot replied, caressing his chin.

The others shook their head as well, confirming it was the same for them.

"Indeed," Fauna agreed. "It only stopped when Rania came to me and created a  barrier using her holy energy."
