Chapter 357. Reinforcement
"Her transformation..." Tyler murmured as he stared at the girl lying unconscious in Mathilda’s arms. "It kinda looks like Vale’s village chief... Misra."
Mathilda’s brows furrowed as she looked down at Astrid, who shimmered faintly with soft light and traces of darkness still swirling faintly beneath her skin.
"Now that you mention it... yeah," Mathilda nodded. "Misra’s Abyss Transformation kinda looks similar. But Astrid looks cute."
"Ah... Misra must be crying in her afterlife." Tyler said.
Just then, the ground trembled beneath their feet—a heavy, thudding presence approaching from behind.
Everyone turned sharply.
The Giant stepped out of the shadows, his towering form rising like a moving mountain behind Tyler. His massive feet cracked the earth as he stopped beside them.
"Enemy?!" Lily’s voice rang out as she immediately took her whip.
"No, no—hold up!" Tyler raised a hand quickly. "He’s an ally. Well... at least for now."
The others didn’t lower their guard just yet, but the tension eased slightly.
The Giant gave a slow, respectful nod before glancing at Astrid in Mathilda’s arms.
