The sky gradually darkened.
As night fell, some shadows began to stir within the lifeless ruined capital.
Not only within the ruined capital—shadows also streaked across the starless night sky, where only a crescent moon hung overhead. Some even collided and tangled together, as though they were fighting.
Hidden beneath a crumbling wall, Claire, Fianna, and Alice watched the shadows clash fiercely overhead, scarcely daring to breathe.
"Th... those look like Demon Spirits, don't they?" Alice asked nervously.
"And almost all of them are Demon Spirits."
"We couldn't sense even a single spirit during the day, but as soon as night came, so many Demon Spirits came out to move around." Fianna secretly lamented.
"Could it be that this entire ruined capital is inhabited by Demon Spirits?"
"That wouldn't be strange, would it?" Claire clicked her tongue.
"Other than Demon Spirits, whose brain structures simply can't be understood, what other spirits would be willing to live in a place like this?"
Claire, Fianna, and Alice had no idea that so-called Wasted Spirits existed within this ruined capital.
There did not seem to be any Wasted Spirits inhabiting this area, so the girls who had been hiding here and waiting for Linse had no idea that large numbers of Wasted Spirits roamed the ruined capital.
