The crimson princess

Pov Dia,

Some months after the party, I was quietly trying to reach a new stage of evolution for my powers when I was interrupted by Testarossa.

Testarossa: "I'm sorry to disturb you, Dia-sama, but we've just discovered a rather strange phenomenon on the far western side of the territory."

I remembered feeling something unusual earlier and asked her to check it out.

Dia: "What did you find?"

Testarossa: "The area is filled with a very dangerous miasma. If we stay too long near it, we feel our power being drained."

Dia: "Any other information?"

Testarossa: "Yes, the miasma is continuously spreading. According to our analysis, in a few weeks it should reach the gates of Pandemonium."

This was very concerning, so I had no choice but to head toward the source of the miasma.
