Chapter 180: Special Mission
Colors started coming back to his eyes, pulling Darian back to reality. The first thing he saw was a white-haired man; right beside him was Leander. Both of them were staring at him with a weird look.

Lucy and Lucius stepped out of the altar, still with their eyes closed. The second they touched the ground, they woke up.
Darian moved fast, catching both of them, already anticipating...
