Book 15: Chapter 4 (4)
“Father…”
It all happened out of the blue.
Crissot appeared before Tiera and the other priestesses purifying the World Tree and extended a thin rope made of mist towards her. Shibaid managed to stand between them at the last moment, but the rope was much stronger than it seemed. His stance was not ideal, but Shibaid was knocked back by the impact.
“Shin and the others did it, I suppose.”
Shibaid spoke while holding up his shield. Tiera had noticed too. Reforgerer’s gigantic body could be seen from the holy area, but it was nowhere to be seen anymore. They thought it was defeated, but the World Tree priestess Tiera knew Reforgerer hadn’t disappeared yet.
She could feel something close to its powerful presence right in front of her.
“Lina, Lymliss, please continue with the purification.”
“Lady Tiera, that’s…”
Lina replied to Tiera, but the latter did not notice. Lymliss had heard her words: she looked at Tiera, wide-eyed.
