The commotion on Kageno Island was nothing more than a distant uproar to the Old Southeast District, whose connecting bridge had already been severed.
On that gloomy, oppressive artificial island, a dark figure flew in from the direction of Kageno Island with its back to the uproar.
Upon closer inspection, the figure was carrying a fairy-like girl in its arms.
"Yaze...?"
Aurora called out, both surprised and worried.
The person carrying Aurora toward the Old Southeast District was, naturally, Luo Zhen.
At that moment, a gorgeous, elegant black coat was draped over Luo Zhen like a cloak. It scattered brilliant Fire Powder, allowing him to float lightly through the air like a streak of light as he sped toward the Old Southeast District.
Aurora was astonished by the coat Luo Zhen was wearing.
She had personally witnessed the Three-legged Crow, which had released an endless torrent of terrifying flames in an instant, melting the connecting bridge like cream and evaporating most of the seawater as if it were air, displaying power akin to destroying heaven and earth. In the flames, it had transformed into this coat and draped itself over Luo Zhen, allowing him to scoop her up and shoot through the flames like a meteor toward the sky.
Under such circumstances, Aurora could hardly avoid feeling astonished.
On the other hand, Aurora was also worried about Luo Zhen.
"Huff..."
Luo Zhen exhaled tiredly, his face looking somewhat pale.
Holding Aurora in his arms as he flew toward the Old Southeast District, Luo Zhen gave a wry laugh at the worried expression on the girl's face.
"I'm fine. I just used up quite a lot of blood. I suppose that's the price of showing off."
Luo Zhen said this as though it were nothing.
Aurora could still understand that much.
