Volume 24: Signal Fires Link the Camps, Chapter 14: Substitute

Where on earth had Iliana gone?

If Onia and Salianco knew of Iliana's current situation, they might go mad.

Komer looked at the unconscious body in front of him with great interest.

As he lifted the veil that had always shrouded this body, Komer somewhat regretted letting such a head, filled with true goodness, serenity, and beauty, be occupied by Uma, that perverted vengeful spirit—it was somewhat of a profanation. However, Komer liked this kind of profanation; to desecrate the Light was akin to worshipping the Darkness, and this seemed to have always been Komer's pursuit.

Indeed, a naturally stunning beauty! Komer sincerely admired her within his heart, feeling a touch of pity.

Komer, with his hand on his chin, looked thoughtfully at the body before him, knowing that he must give Uma what he had promised, especially since Uma had indeed made many sacrifices in this battle.
