Valg the Time-Cursed Emperor

Amelia's POV:

I have now taken on the role of leader, a position left to me by Naoki. He entrusted me with the responsibility of commanding Lyra, Freya, Marius, Leopold, Luna, and Hendrik's team. We had all agreed on this plan—only Naoki could take on Volx in a one-on-one battle. That left me with no choice but to lead this group in defeating Valg, the dungeon boss.

I recalled Naoki's words, his unwavering confidence in me. He believed I could defeat Valg because of my Divine Magic, the natural weakness of Cursed-type monsters. Every time I remembered his words, I couldn't help but smile. But deep down, a question lingered in my heart—had I truly become strong? Was I worthy of fighting by his side? Just thinking about it made my heart race.

Naoki was always in my thoughts, whether I was happy or annoyed. No matter what, he was the best. But before I could get lost in those feelings, the imposing presence of Valg yanked me back to reality.
