After settling aside Maya's matters, Leon focused his attention on Darlene, who was embracing him tightly.
He paused for a few breaths before finally peeling Darlene off him to face her.
"I have something very important to tell you," Leon said seriously.
Although Darlene was confused at first, her expression quickly turned solemn after hearing his words.
She nodded and gave him her full attention.
At the same time, Aria and Duna became interested; they perked their ears to listen in after witnessing the sudden mood change.
"We were right to be wary of the Empyrean Infinite Void Fragment in you; Empyrean Infinite Void is still alive," Leon stated.
It was just a short statement, but it quickly shocked everyone as much as it confused them.
"Empyrean Infinite Void is alive? What do you mean by that, Leon?" Darlene asked with a startled look.
