Seeing the churning sea around him, Lu Cang felt an ever-stronger sense of foreboding.
His Prophet's instinct for seeking fortune and avoiding disaster kept warning him.
Yet he couldn't sense any way to escape.
It was as if the entire world had become an omen of disaster.
"Kid... You don't look too happy," Ansu said in Lu Cang's mind.
How could he possibly be happy?
He'd fled to the Moon Sea precisely because he knew the Secret Sea might be destroyed.

Kumiloni frowned slightly and looked at him.
With a single step, she appeared beside him.
Lu Cang's aura had changed again. Unsolvable Mystery did little to conceal it from Kumiloni, and she could clearly sense how powerful he had become.

Kumiloni shook her head. "That man named Roa escaped."
"We didn't keep chasing him. He had disappeared without a trace, and then Iz began setting up the teleportation spell."

Kumiloni gazed over the surrounding waters, looking just as worried. "Lu Cang, I remember your prophecy said... the Secret Sea would be destroyed on April 1."
Lu Cang nodded. "Yeah."
"It should be today."
Lu Cang recalled what Aegimiss had said not long ago.
"Something that might not seem like a big deal. Perhaps some of you have heard of it. It is a regret that has yet to come to pass."
Combined with what had happened in the second phase, Lu Cang could vaguely guess what Aegimiss
