The one who had silently appeared beside Hermes was Nana.
She also possessed a Six-Word Battle Armor. The two daggers in her hands were both divine artifacts; although they were merely Lower-level Divine Artifacts, one carried ice and the other fire. Together, they were no weaker than a Mid-level Divine Artifact, and could even wound spiritual bodies.
