The Neverfall Clan, along with Raze’s allies were doing a good job of rounding up the members of the Demonic Clan that had been hurt. They were using the temporary base to treat them.
What amazed them the most were the amazing healing powers of Safa, as she could heal the worst of wounds and even internal injuries that others didn’t know about.
When people asked about who she was an answer was starting to go around, that she was the Dark Magus’s sister.
“It’s no wonder the Dark Magus was able to take over the Dark Faction. It’s not just him but he also has a large support around him.”
“You’re right, these healing capabilities, it’s no wonder he was able to best the Behemoth Clan.”
“But I heard that it was the Crimson Crane that had played a big part in that, and from what I saw today, they are certainly powerful.”
“Didn’t you hear why they were powerful though?” Another warrior added. “They were an infamous Clan to begin with but their power was never enough to match up to the other clans. Apparently they carry items with the marking of DM.”
The marking of DM has become extremely popular over the entire continent, all due to the special pills that were being made.
Yet they had almost forgotten, that DM was the same person as the Dark Magus. A skilled fighter, who used strange powers, and was a skilled Alchemist, but to also hear that he was a master craftsman as well. It was starting to feel like a godly figure had descended and along with him they had brought one of their angels.
Which was why, the nickname The Angel was being spread around the encampment.
“It’s the Angel…she’s come to heal us, she truly is like someone who has dropped down from the heavens!” The men whispered and shouted.
From across the room, Liam was quick to give them a stare down. In the middle of it all, messengers from the Lost clan were appearing in each of the rooms as they had an announcement to make.
“Everyone gather just outside your building. The Neverfall Clan has a message to deliver to everyone.”
All of the clan’s knew it was coming, and it had been some time since they were attacked. They were looking for answers as to what had happened and what was going to occur next.
Seeing how the Lost Clan was the one that had delivered the message as well, was giving them some confidence that they knew what was going on with the current matter.
Everyone had gathered, and it was then that the realization had hit them, that they had lost a lot more people then they thought. Most of the Clan leaders were still intact, but many had lost their right hand men.
They had brought along with them, some of the best in the Clan just in case anything was to happen, and so they couldn’t be messed around with by others and that had somewhat bit them in the back.
Eventually, Rayna had come walking out, along with Fing by her side. Dame who was with the others went up to the front, and then Rayna had decided to call Lince from the crowd as well.
Finally, she had also decided to call Alba, and Amir up. It was a good representation of all of those that were involved deeply in this.
“Everyone!” Rayna shouted and stabbed her spear into the ground. She let out a wave of Qi, to vibrate across the floor making everyone aware that she was present and immediately everyone went into silence.
“I want to start by respecting all of those who lost their lives today. Everyone here had experienced a level of loss due to the attack that was placed on us.
“We who had gathered as a unit of the Demonic Faction to mourn the leader of the Neverfall Clan. It was quite clear, that it was a planned and orchestrated attack, and I’m sure a lot of you have questions on your mind, and I’m here to answer them.”
Everyone was listening intently to the next words to come out of her mouth.
“The ones who attacked today, are the Light Faction.” Rayna declared. “They have been worried about the growth of the Dark Magus within in the Dark Faction, and further his influence and connection to our family and the Neverfall Clan.
“I’m sure you all have heard of the mysterious group known as Alter. In a desperate attempt to try and match up our power, and try to hurt the Demonic faction before we could grow, they had teamed up with them.
“The two groups are working hand in hand, to take the demonic Faction and each of you down!”
Listening to the words, Alba and the others there believed Rayna had done a smart thing. Rather than tell them the enemy was Alter, who the clan’s knew nothing about. They could direct their anger to a group where there was already a level of hatred and distrust towards.
In the end it didn’t matter who was coaxing who into what. It was easier to say this was the Light Faction’s doing then Alter to get them to their side.
“The Dark Magus, knew about this, and has been doing whatever he can to stop the Light Faction. Everyone here, that is currently standing by my side, has agreed to be an ally of the Dark Magus.
“Amir, the head of the Dark Faction currently and the academy, has rounded up all of the clans to be by our side. Lince from the Lost Clan, is aware of the Light Faction’s movements and involvements and knows their power well.
“Us…the Neverfall Clan, who has been hurt, and those that have stayed by the Dark Magus’s side for a long time now, the Crimson Crane, it’s a powerful force, but the Dark Magus still needs your help, because now, the Light faction has grown even further…because they have gotten the Empire on their side, and involved in this fight.”

The Demonic Clan had been pretty silent so far, but it was the first time that murmurs had started amongst the clan leaders.
“The Empire, they are the strongest force among the Civilians.” One of the clan heads commented. “They are also located in the Light Faction, their relationship is certainly closer then anything any of us have with them, so it’s not a stretch.”
“But them getting involved would they really do that wouldn’t it break the pact?”
This was the specific word that was floating among the members, the word that was being used, Pact. It was everyone’s worry and something that even as crazy as the Demonic Clan members were, something that they had kept in line with as well.
“Right, if the pact is broken, we will have more to worry about then the Light Faction. It feels like these words that are being spoken, are just being said to worry us, and to get us into a fight.”
“Right!” Another shouted in support. “In the first place, we aren’t the only ones that need to comply with the pact. If the pact is broken on their end to their will be trouble.”
Everyone spoke in agreement, and the words Rayna had spoken had the opposite effect. Rather than frightening them of a possible attack heading their way, they were frightened to be the ones to break such a thing.
“Enough!” A loud voice shouted over all of them. This time it wasn’t a voice that had come from Rayna. When they looked at who had spoken it was from Fing.
“We lose our men, we lose those close to us, and this is the reaction of the Demonic Faction, that is meant to put the strength of power above all?” Fing’s look among the leaders, it was as if he was truly sick to his stomach.
“Those that died today, how would they feel to hear these type of words come out of your mouth. I know every single one of them would be rolling in their grave.
“They already gave up their life, and now, were not willing to do the same, when we know the enemy that is in front of us? The pact, the pact, who gives a Fuck about the pact!”
There was true anger and frustration in Fing’s voice. His words, some of the Demonic faction members found themselves embarrassed for thinking such things. It truly wasn’t the way of the Demonic Clan.
When they thought about those they lost and a clear path to get vengeance it did rile them up, but it was also quite clear that not all of them were convinced.
When people and individuals were pushed into a corner. There was one clear feeling that would be placed in their minds and heads, no matter how hard they tried to train it out of them, it was survivability.
The Demonic Clans had already been hit hard, and this move could be the end of the Demonic Clan. They had the most to lose in this situation, it felt like.
“I can confirm to you all the empire is on the move.” Lince added in. “They will come, with the powerful artifacts and items, and powers that they used today, and they will attack you.
“You can either do this together to fight against them, or we can do it apart. When they come, you will be on your own, and the odds of you surviving any type of attack like that are low.
“I will tell you all now, if they attack you, and you don’t go on this mission, no one is protecting you. The Demonic Clan isn’t known for its alliances within the clan in the first place, but this will be the one chance to fight together and not turn your back.”
Lince words and his support as one of the big three meant a lot, and they had swayed even more to agree. The wave appeared to be turning in their direction again, but the murmur was strong especially among those that were older who had never broken the pact.
“If the Pact is your main worry then what are you worried about?” Dame asked. “I’m sure you all heard it before right, this isn’t the first time the pact was broken, and the person who had broken it is still alive till this day.
“I’m talking about the Dark Magus, in the town of Flendon. Nothing had happened despite him even besting battle against a king!”
Due to the current events that had occurred everyone had been focusing on what had happened now, that they had almost forgotten. It was true one of the kingdoms had attacked the Town of Flendon, in defence the Dark Magus hadn’t cared for the rules and attacked back.
There was no retaliation which led to the talk among people wondering if the pact was something that was even real between people or not.
Hearing the strength of the Dark Magus and knowing that he was the one leading them, all of these points were adding up, and it was convincing the Demonic Faction.
“The Demonic Faction are a hard bunch to convince, honestly maybe the current situation is the only thing that could have swayed them all over.” Lince said.
“Where is the Dark Magus!” One Clan leader eventually shouted out, among the wave of agreement. “This important matter shouldn’t we have him here in front of us?
“He should be the one that is leading this charge. Yet he isn’t by your side. It’s hard to even know if he is an alley in all of this. How do we know that he will be the one fighting by our side.
“There’s a chance if we fight against the light faction and empire, that the wrath of the Divine realm will fall on us.”
The others hearing this started to nod and speak in agreement.
“If they come down, then I will make sure they get out of my way. I will take down all that can in my way, until the enemy is taken down.”
The group turned to where the voice was coming from, and they could see a man in a long straight blazer in appearance at the top, with a straight out flowy bottom like that of a robe and a trench coat.
A specific helmet was held in his hands by his side, but they all knew who it was, it was the Dark Magus.

The voice had turned many heads, and seeing the recognition of the person whom many of the people were questioning had put them in their place. The rowdy ones that were speaking up before no longer said anything.
A lot of them knew Raze’s strength now; they had seen it firsthand, and they knew the strength of the allies who had already publicly said they supported him.
The Demonic Faction was the faction that respected strength above all, and it was becoming clearer to everyone, without a doubt, that this was the strongest person in the Demonic Faction and the Dark Faction.
Even if they didn’t want to be by his side or weren’t necessarily an ally, they would all respect him.
While walking through the crowd of people, Raze was making his way to his allies, and it didn’t go unnoticed, the helmet he was holding by his side.
Shay was sheepishly following Raze, with nervous looks on her face. She had not too long ago been an enemy of everyone. The only good thing was, due to her fighting the Crimson Crane instantly, and then the Dark Magus, she hadn’t actually done any personal damage to the Demonic Faction members.
And, without her helmet, there weren’t many that recognized her. There were those who just thought Raze was carrying the helmet as some type of trophy for what had occurred.
When Raze reached the others, he turned around to face the rest of the Demonic Faction, but instantly, those close to him could notice.
His footsteps were weak. His complexion didn’t look the same, and even his eyes appeared as if they were heavy. They wondered what he had done.
Had he really gone to Alter, and had now come back to the Demonic Faction so fast? What could he have even done in such a short time, and was he hurt?
There was one person who didn’t care about the eyes of others and instantly went up to Raze. She held the Lux spear in her hand as she placed her hand on Raze’s back, and a warm feeling was felt going through his entire body.
“You’re hurt…I can tell, and I’m not just talking about inside, Raze…you’re really hurt,” Safa said, tears almost welling up inside again. She could see something with her god eyes.
Around his magic core, it appeared damaged, and the power surrounding him. When healing him even now, she could feel the damage that had occurred throughout his body.
“I can make you feel better, Raze…” Safa softly spoke, so that Raze was the only one who could hear her. “But the damage to the rest of your body, to your organs…I can’t reverse what’s happened.”
Although Raze had gotten better with touching, he still didn’t like being approached, but he realized that his body no longer had a certain jerk reaction when one person touched him, and that was the one who was touching him now.
Because never did Safa have any malice towards him in any way when being touched, and it was strange because she was, and always had been able to see even more compared to others.
“It’s okay, I know, just do your best to get me back to what you can,” Raze replied back and then brought his attention back to the crowd in front of him.
“Everyone!” Raze shouted. “I am the Dark Magus, and here behind me is everyone who has fought along my way. Some of them aren’t here who fought next to me…because they were taken due to this fighting.
“I can’t promise that more lives won’t be lost if you fight with me. I can’t promise to protect anyone, I can’t promise that I will be fighting for you…but then again, does that even matter, is that the Demonic Faction’s way?” Raze asked.
“I…haven’t been in this world of Pagna long; I can’t force you to do anything you don’t wish to do. I have my own fight that I am battling, against the Light Faction, against Alter, against whoever gets in my way.
“I’m here to tell you one thing. I, the Dark Magus, am going to take out all of them—the Light Faction, Alter, everyone who hurt those that I cared about today.
“Tomorrow when the sun rises, I will be setting out, and anyone is free to come with me. For those that stand by my side in the morning, I will see them as an ally; for everyone else, I will see them as an enemy.”
That was all Raze had said, and finishing his talking, he didn’t even let anyone ask him questions because he was already walking off.
He was heading back into the original waiting room that had been given to him and his allies when they had first arrived at the Alter faction.
The only thing was, to get to where he needed to be, he needed to walk past the Clan members that had come out for the meeting. Raze didn’t try to walk around them; he just walked ahead.
Rayna was worried; what if the clan members pulled him, wanted to ask more questions, or got in his way? What would happen?
Instead, what she saw was the Demonic Clan members spreading out to the side, getting out of Raze’s way. They had made a clear path for him as he walked to the building, and as he walked past, the clan members bowed their heads down.
They waited until he completely walked past them before raising their heads again. Until Raze was finally inside. The rest of the clan members turned to where Raze was and started to break off, getting in their various carriages and more, all of them heading back to their clans.
“What are they doing?” Tilion asked.
“They’re heading back to their clans to gather their members for tomorrow,” Alba answered with a smile.
The largest battle in Pagna history was soon to start.

Outside of where Raze was at, the Demonic Clans were moving quite a bit. They were shuffling and making contact with each other, a few of the clan leaders passing a few words before they left.
While Raze was sitting inside a room at a table by himself, he was deep in thought, his hand placed on his head. He had been through these feelings before.
‘Even though I managed to do all of that to Alter, the feeling in my stomach, the thoughts on my mind, they’re not gone…I still lost Simyon, and I lost them all…but I’ve done too much, I’ve gone too far and been through too much. I can feel it; I’m close to the end, I’m close to finally getting back to Alterian.’
Not long after, Raze’s allies started to enter the same room. Amir had come in, with Mantis, Ricktor, and Mada by his side.
There were Anna and Gon who had entered as well. Eventually, Fing, Rayna, Dame, Safa, and Liam entered.
The entirety of the Crimson Crane made it in with Fixteen by their side. The Dark Hand group had entered next to Cronker as well. Then there was Beatrix who had moved in quietly along with Shay, who had no idea why she was there, and Brack had even entered as well.
Finally, there was Lince, who had wandered in on his own. When Raze started to look at them all, he remembered his journey at the beginning with them.
How he had made connections with all of them, and it pained him even more because there should have been one more person in that room. If he had played his cards right, he would have been here as well.
There were more people that Raze had met on his journey, those in the Dark Faction, those from Alter such as Himmy, and the few allies that had been left.
All of these people were going to fight by his side, and once he got his hand on the Golden Globe, he was going to leave them behind as well.
The situation finished in Pagna.
“I have an important report to make,” Lince said. “I was trying to look for you to inform you, but the Empire seems to have allied up with Alter in all of this.
“Movements from the Light Faction clans and the Empire are frequent between them and Alter. If I was to take a guess, Alter has started spreading their power and has been handing them powerful artifacts. I believe they are preparing for us.”
Raze took his hand away from his head and looked at everyone. “That would make sense; now I understand why the Alter base might have been weaker than I thought,” Raze answered. “I was there just now; there weren’t many members, and the artifacts they had were minimal.”
“You actually went to the Alter base?” Liam asked. “What happened there? Are you okay, or are you hurt?”
Raze waited for a moment, but then he revealed what had taken place. How Shay had taken him right to where the base was. He fought with his anger, using his magic and dark spells.
Having taken out a large amount of those from Alter and destroyed the artifacts as well, but he glossed over those details.
The details that he was clearer on were about the weapons that the Light Faction leaders used, the powers that he saw they had, and what they had used.
Then, he talked about at the last moment, seeing Red and Heino; it was quite clear that the two of them were alive as well.
“He gave them such powerful weapons…this fight is going to be really hard,” Tilion said and was holding onto his shield. A sword that could cut through anything—if he was to use his shield and block an attack without this information, due to the power of the curse on his shield, he would have perished in moments.
“We knew that Alter would use everything they had; they now just have more people on their side,” Lince replied. “So they have more ways to spread their power.
“Do we have time? Do we still have time before they use the Golden Globe? This is the only variable I haven’t considered.”
“We have time,” Amir added. He had already spoken to Raze about this, which was why he was confident that the Golden Globe couldn’t be used. “The Golden Globe has limited power at the moment. Through their testing, my guess is they might have been able to open a small portal.
“But the true power of the item can only be used once a month on the night when the moon shines brightest on our world. We haven’t had possession of the item in a long time, so I’m unsure if the power still stems from our time, or it would be the night of the full moon in Pagna. Either way, though, both of those dates are more than a week away.”
This was satisfying to hear. Raze was confident Alter was working with the Grand Magus; the last thing they needed was to also go up against a large number of mages from Alter.
“Then my suggestion is to split our forces into two major groups. The Demonic Faction and Dark Clan will be waging a large battle against the Empire and their items. However, we also know key members in the war.
“One group should try and deal with the five generals of the Empire. Then another group will focus on the key members. We have the three Light Faction Clan leaders with their swords. We have the last remaining Deleter, Red, and we have Heino himself, whom we don’t know what he has up his sleeve.
“I suggest we make the best-suited groups to deal with these people with everything. I think we have enough power to win this fight, as long as there are no unexpected variables.”

Discussions were made among Raze and his group of close allies. They would all be travelling together, but it was more so about who would focus on what as they fought against the enemy at hand that was in front of them.
Amir had agreed to lead the majority of the Dark Faction Clans. He had a relationship with them already, so those that were travelling by his side would focus on attacking the generals and those in the empire.
As they were to have somewhat of the largest armies with them, Mantis, Ricktor, and Dame would be by his side. There was much discussion, and it was believed that this might not be enough, so it was decided that the Crimson Crane would be added to boost their power.
After learning of what the Light Faction Clans and new weapons could do, they didn’t want them to clash with them directly.
Alba had decided this as she didn’t want her people to lose their lives, and a lot had agreed. The Crimson Crane had done a lot in the current fight against the Deleters.
The information from the current battle might have gotten back to Alter in some way, so the element of surprise was gone. On top of that, their combination and use as a unit with powerful weapons was better for taking on a large amount of people at once.
This would make up the first core unit; then the second core unit would go after the Light Faction and whatever was left of Alter.
This group was focused on the Demonic Faction, which would be led by three people primarily. Lince, the leader of the Lost Clan, Rayna, and Fing.
They were at the top of the Demonic Faction and had a lot of respect. There was also no better person than Fing who could utilise the strength of the Demonic Faction or know the power of the Demonic Faction Clans.
Within them, though, there were individuals who had made it clear whom they personally wanted to take care of.
Zon had declared that he was going to deal with Red, and Anna was by his side. So the two of them would be busy taking on the last Deleter.
Raze could tell that there was something personal going on between them. It was going to be a help in the battle, but it was something that needed to be settled between these people.
In return, when they got their hands on the Golden Globe, he would send him back to his own world.
He also wouldn’t be the only one that had a personal grudge; the other was Beatrix, who was now fighting by their side. It was as she had guessed—Impres had taken over the Dawnblade Clan.
She had betrayed them and had convinced the clan to elect her as leader. With her still alive and at the top, there was nowhere for her to call home.
But, she didn’t even care about that; she just wanted to get revenge for what happened to her. The good news was, she hadn’t used the full power of the gift that had been given to her by the Dark Magus.
Equally, Raze still didn’t know what Impres’s weapon did either. They did ask Shay for information, but she had claimed there were many weapons and artifacts that were sealed away by Alter before she had even joined the organisation herself.
That left Dame, Liam, and Safa, who would stay close to Raze as well as their new allies, but in reality, they would all be staying close to each other and the Demonic Faction while they were fighting.
There were still two of the high-ranking Light Faction members, Heino, and possibly a few tricks that were hidden up the sleeve of the enemy.
Regardless, it was all to be resolved soon. With there only being one night between them travelling to wherever the army in the Light Faction was gathering, everyone was doing their best to prepare.
Whether that was resting for the night, training, going over a few things or more. As for Raze, he had two things that he was in the middle of doing.
For one, he had travelled a little away with just him, Shay, and Safa to one of the areas where there was a large mass of land out. The two of them were going through a number of moves and they were practising.
Going through the Dark Edge Sword Art formations, the last two. He had been given a big clue when he had seen Shay fight, the way she had used her techniques.
There was something that hadn’t clicked with him when he had tried the techniques before, but now he had a reference, someone who he could directly see in person.
He watched, following the flow of Qi, as he told Shay to use the techniques.
“Safa, can you do me a favour?” Raze asked. “Can you use your god eyes, and tell me what you see? I know the god eyes is more used for magic, but your senses are heightened, and your Qi has grown.
“I’m sure there might just be a way for you to use it to follow the flow of Qi as well.”
Safa listened; she didn’t argue or ask any questions but instead needed to focus. With everything that happened, she had been neglecting her own power, her skills, and was still unaware of what she could really do.
Her body had synergised with one of the Mythic tier items, Stoney, and she had gained the power of a Divine being. She should have been able to do more back in the fight.
If she had, then maybe Simyon would have survived. As talented as she was, it didn’t take long at all for her to see it, the flow of Qi that was coming from Shay.
“I’ll describe everything I see to you,” Safa said, her eyes glowing brightly.

The descriptions Safa had given were on point to Raze. Although Safa didn’t quite know what she was saying or describing herself, it didn’t matter; all of it was a big help to him.
He understood it, and he had already figured out a few things where he went wrong.
What was good as well, was when Raze had attempted to perform the same moves as he had seen based on the descriptions, Safa was also able to describe the differences, telling him where his Qi and magic differed from the technique that was performed.
Then finally, after relentlessly practicing and some time had passed, Raze was ready with his sword.
“The seventh formation…”
Not long after, Raze had then performed the last and final formation of the Dark Edge sword arts.
“I can’t believe it… you managed to master it, and that fast as well?” Shay commented.
The entire area the group was in was a complete mess. There were several destroyed craters everywhere across the land.
Large giant cracks had formed in a single line as if a giant had appeared out of the skies and struck the ground.
And the person responsible for it all was a single man.
‘I know he told me to teach him the last two formations and he must have had some type of grasp on them, but what even is this?’ Shay thought.
She had seen him from when he had first practiced the new formations; Shay was even smug as she could tell that he still had a long way to go to learn the two formations.
Even if one had an understanding, it felt like Raze was still years away from mastering such techniques—if he was a quick learner, maybe months.
Yet she saw the fast progress right in front of her eyes; with each attempt at the Dark Edge sword arts, he was getting closer and closer.
For Raze, he never saw himself as talented, and this was very true. In Alterian, it was his hard work, deduction, and his craft of research that allowed him to excel.
The reason he was able to learn Pagna warrior techniques quickly in Pagna was due to how similar it was to control Qi and Magic.
He already had close to 70 years under his belt, and not just that, but Raze’s understanding far outweighed even his control.
What he didn’t realize was his knowledge, his dedication—it had become his special talent. It placed him so far ahead of everyone else that basic and hard concepts were easier for him.
He had excelled at all of the fundamentals required, and there was something more that had helped.
Raze was wearing the special helmet that used to belong to the Deleter Shay. When wearing it, it allowed him to push himself without feeling tired, without having to give in to his body.
Then there were Safa’s great healing capabilities. When the helmet was no longer enough, he could recover to the point where he was almost as good as new.
Pushing oneself as far as Raze did, one might have to wait weeks to attempt to perform the same techniques.
But due to the combination of everything, he could perform it again and again, and he had the perfect person as a reference who already knew how to use the moves well.
After successfully performing both of the remaining formations, Raze was being healed, and he had taken the helmet off, casting his magic away and placing the helmet aside.
When Shay saw this, she clicked her tongue. “I guess I’m not getting that helmet back anytime soon. It looks like he’s claimed it for himself,” Shay commented.
“The last formation,” Raze spoke as he was sitting down cultivating and also had Safa healing him. “Why is it different when you use it? It’s not just a little different, it’s… almost like a different technique?”
“Why are you asking questions about something that you should already know the answer to?” Shay replied. “The fact that you were able to perform the technique means you know why. Because the final formation is different, and unlike me who uses Dark Qi, you use Demonic Qi. Added to that, you can do something that I am never able to do.”
It was deep into the night, and one thing Raze noticed was that Safa was extremely tired. Sure, she was powerful, but she had been using her light magic powers, her Qi, everything to help Raze as well as the others.
They all needed their rest, even if he didn’t. As they headed back to the town of Flendon, they knew they would have to get up early to leave towards the Neverfall clan in the morning and travel from there.
When Raze had arrived, he had said his goodbyes to the others.
“Get some rest, Safa, I’ll see you in the morning,” Raze claimed. “I’ll be fine; I’m just going to be making some last moment preparations.”
Safa didn’t ask anymore. She knew a lot must be on Raze’s mind, and the best thing she could do herself right now was rest.
When Raze walked off, he headed towards the lake. It was so late there was no one but a few stray cats on the streets. Casting his magic, he started to descend into the lake, heading to his secret base.
“I have the special blazer I’m wearing, I also have three more forced Breakthroughs that I can perform, and I have now completely learned all the Dark Edge sword arts.
“I’m still a 6 star mage though—is it enough for me? Is it enough right now for me to face the Grand Magus the way I am now? Maybe there are a few more things I can do to increase my star level.
“I guess I should visit Alterian one last time as the Dark Spirit, and next time… I’ll be heading over there with my real body.”
