"Woah! Slow down!"
A sudden shudder assaulted the carriage, causing the Asura, Helliana and Lucia to almost fall from their seats.
"Eh?"
"Strange... I can feel a powerful source of magic ahead..."
"Hmm? What's happening."

'Is there some kind of blockade or monster?'
Suddenly the entire area felt as if some powerful aura spread through the forest.
The situation caused everyone from Asura to the knights in the distance to feel an eerie sense of vigilance—the beautiful green forest was now enveloped in a black mist, turning the flowers and tree midnight black.
"Where are you~ I waited so long to become a big girl just for you."
