Different Homebound Path

Late at night, on a secluded street in Nolan.

Clairely had been in Nolan from the Demon Realm for nearly a day. Just yesterday, she had been dragged by the Lich Lord into practicing Holy Spirit matches the entire time.

Tonight, the Lich Lord had finally granted them a reprieve, allowing them to relax before the first match officially began.

Clairely finally had the chance to emerge from beneath Nolan and reach its surface...

After many years, she had finally returned to the human world.

When she stood on the streets of Nolan once more, she felt as though she had arrived in another world.

Back when Clairely had still lived as a human, only a few taverns in the city where she lived had Source Crystal Stone lamps for illumination.

Whenever night fell, anyone wishing to go out had to prepare a portable Source Crystal Stone lamp themselves.

Yet Nolan at night was as dazzling as day. Source Crystal Stone lamps of all colors were embedded along the edges of buildings, while moving images had been imprinted onto the walls.

Clairely stared wide-eyed at this city that seemed never to rest. It was the first time a city's nightscape had left her so stunned. At the same time... Nolan felt terrifyingly unfamiliar to her.

This was not the time to be amazed by such things. Gaineko Bishop had already sent other believers to Nolan ahead of them.

Clairely had to meet up with those believers as soon as possible and share the intelligence she knew with them.

As long as they eliminated Foya in Nolan... the nightmare she had endured in the Demon Realm for years would finally end!

With that thought, Clairely controlled the Chaos Demon's body and headed toward the meeting place she had arranged with Gaineko
