Book 15: Chapter 4 (1)
“It’s starting to take shape.”
Shin was looking at the erupting light as it gathered in one place and started to harden. When it reached its complete form, Reforgerer would be born.
“If we can defeat the demon before it becomes the Divine Beast, we don’t even have to fight it, right?”
“I think it might work… From what I remember, it appeared and started rampaging immediately.”
Time had passed since Shin and the others first saw the pillar of light. In the game era footage he had seen, Reforgerer had appeared less than a minute after the pillar manifested, so he couldn’t deny the possibility of what Tiera said being true. However, it would be extremely difficult to pull off.
“There’s a cluster of presences. Let’s go there first.”
Shin’s group advanced straight into the holy area, heading towards the presences he had detected. As expected, he found Lymliss and the elf guards escorting her. They noticed Shin’s group approaching them but did not appear to recognize Shin’s group, as they had their weapons in hand, ready for battle.
Yuzuha and Kagerou were in their original forms — although Yuzuha’s was not complete —, so their large bodies and high levels would surely be intimidating. The guards probably noticed that Shin and the others were riding the beasts, but they couldn’t afford not being wary.
“We are not enemies!”
