Chapter 649: Moon
While Sol was busy using multiple projections and taking steps to ensure Theresa’s safety, things in Lustburg were also slowly calming down.
Ever since Milia made a contract with Sol, her powers had been exponentially increasing as she did Sol’s bidding. Not to mention that the stronger Sol became, the greater she grew in strength. She had a grasp on the reason behind this growth.
She was Sol’s shadow. As the moon was to the sun, she could only truly shine by reflecting an infinitesimal part of his incandescent light. But that part, as small as it was, was enough to illuminate the whole world.
More than anything… it allowed her to share that glorious light as well.

In the depths of infinite shadows, a few figures with no features hid inside the clock tower. They observed the passing pedestrians with a gleam in their eyes.
“So, I need to ask again… Why do we have to stand on the highest building in the residential area?”
Edgar, one of Milia’s friends, queried as he adjusted the tight-fitting black uniform around his body. It had been some time since he did any sort of field work and he was feeling the aching need of exercises to loosen his body.
Still, more than his progressively expanding belly, he was more curious about why they had to waste time climbing such a high building when they would inevitably have to go down.
