The next morning, Emlyn set out early for Odra Manor in the North Borough with the Shaman King characteristic.
He had originally intended to go to the Harvest Cathedral as usual and wait until evening to see Nibis, but carrying something so important at the demigod level made it impossible for him to settle down.
After repeatedly agonizing over it, he decided to go now and hand over the Shaman King characteristic.
In the study of Nibis's manor house, Cosmi Odra's heart inexplicably skipped two beats when he saw the crimson gem in the box, which seemed to have congealed from blood. A deep longing stirred within him.
Taking a deep breath and closing the metal box, he looked up at Emlyn and said,
"I'll go get Grandfather."
With that, he hurried out of the study.
Emlyn shrugged silently, sat down in the chair beside him, and began savoring the cup of pure maiden's blood Cosmi had provided.
In a stretch of deep blue water east of the Sonia Sea, the Future suddenly pitched violently.
After steadying himself, Cyril instantly flashed onto the deck.
Ahead of the Future, he seemed to see the end of the Sonia Sea. An enormous rift severed the azure ocean here, and endless seawater plunged straight down like a waterfall into unfathomable darkness...
Cyril raised his head. There wasn't a trace of cloud or mist overhead, only pure gold, filled with sunlight.
Under the direct rays of the golden sunlight, the distant sea also turned gold. The shimmering waves resembled fiercely burning golden flames.
As his gaze swept across the scene, he spotted a patch of ruins a short distance diagonally ahead.
Most of it lay submerged, leaving only gray stones and pillars piled into peaks above sea level, along with curved, dome-like structures.
