Become One with Me

"Ha... hahaha...!"

Dionysus's laughter rang out through the space filled with strange magical power.

"What an unprecedented masterpiece! As expected of a fallen Fairy! The beauty that once saved the Lower World has now become a fear that threatens the entire world! This very existence itself... can only be called madness!"

As though applauding and offering his blessing at the same time, Dionysus loudly praised the Fairy born before his eyes.

Unfortunately, Riezel ignored him. He merely watched the Fairy before him with cold eyes, his thoughts unknown.

Instead, the Fairy—Araya—slowly turned her gaze toward Dionysus upon hearing his laughter.

The next second...

"Squelch!"

With that, the Fairy girl named Araya extended one hand toward Dionysus.

"St-Stop! AAAAAAAAAH...!"

Dionysus screamed desperately.

"Hehe..."
