"You're certainly in a good mood, hiding here and watching others fight for their lives."
With that familiar voice, Verena passed through a spatial rift and appeared out of thin air on Allen's shoulder.
Her control over energy, space, and matter had clearly reached an unimaginable level. Not only did she fail to affect the surroundings in the slightest, but even the worn coat on Allen's body was left completely undamaged.
"Why did you come out? Did something happen to Sky City?" Allen asked without turning around.

The so-called Dragon's Descendants aren't a single species, but a collective term for an entire category of creatures. They carry the same primordial genes within them, but continuous evolution gradually caused them to split into different branches."
