Chapter 577: The Greatest Vulnerability
I walk up the mountain with everyone else.
I’m not sensing Umukahime near where we left her. She might be further up. I’ll try checking where I fought the clay brave.
As we near the summit, I spot Hero Miia’s stone monument through the fog.
I laid waste to this area quite badly in my battle with the [Clay Brave], but the ground has flattened out again. The stone monument is also standing up straight. The field of flowers haven’t returned, but fresh shoots are breaking through the earth in patches. The plants here might have an abnormally strong vitality.
I walk towards the place where I sense Umukahime’s presence.

The air warps, and a kimono-clad black-haired woman appears in front of me.
Aro and the black lizard glare at her. They might be holding a grudge against Umukahime for stopping them from helping when I was fighting the [Clay Brave].
Hiding behind Aro, treant-san shadow boxes with his wings. You don’t need to push yourself if you're scared, you know…
