The Secret of Lachesis!
Underground Dark River.
Reneedol was halfway through her flight when she suddenly stopped in midair.
She quickly raised an arm in front of herself.
Endless starlight surged from her neck and gathered in her hand, forming a gleaming tower shield.
At almost the same moment, a pillar of darkness shot out of the underground Dark River ahead.
The pillar moved at an incredible speed. It was in front of Reneedol almost the instant it appeared.

Great clouds of water mist billowed up from the Dark River.
