Sacrifice

No one understood why Duchess Serenthia did what she did. Least of all, Isadora who was observing everything in a passive state.

Unfortunately or fortunately, there wasn't room for her to question her mother's actions.

The battle exploded into epic proportions in a blink.

Land split and sky cracked.

Even the strengthened space was filled with endless cracked gray lines, akin to a fractured mirror.

This was fatal not just for mere rank 8s like Varian's family but even for new rank 9s.

The dukes assumed they were alright because of some treasure but in truth, Varian had no such life saving artifacts.

'Thank you.'

Varian conveyed his heartfelt gratitude.

'Eh, ehehe. Don't forget to visit me!' The Spirit's tired but excited voice rang in his mind.

Enigma continued to work on the card artifact, building up the charge for them to jump from this place.
