Virizion, summoned by Dark, charged into the unparted fog ahead like the wind under his command!
At a time like this, his Magic Spirits could make the most of their advantage in possessing intelligence.
Unlike other Magic Spirits, which found it difficult to accomplish much once contact was severed, Dark's Magic Spirits were independent entities capable of thinking for themselves.
As a nine-star, high-defense Magic Spirit, Virizion would not be easily slain by the monsters lurking in the fog. Its speed was also incredibly fast, making it a natural scout.

The Gold-Patterned Unicorn was likewise a nine-star Magic Spirit. Possessing abilities comparable to those of the Unicorn King, it specialized in defense and healing, but it also had the means to unleash explosive power in an instant.
This showed that Bishop Sabrina Melville had also raised her guard.
With their scouting methods currently ineffective, it would not have been strange for danger to emerge at any moment.

The Constellation Chimera displayed tremendous power as it crushed those lower-grade magical beasts. Even when attacked by groups, it summoned constellations to ruthlessly suppress them.
Without realizing it, the party had shifted from relying primarily on the Saint Knights and Northern Lands
