"Lady Elysia!!"
Apparently sensing the commotion inside, Natsuki Minamiya and Aye Kanase hurried into the heart of the ruins with Nagisa Akatsuki, only to see... an aura of absolute malice surrounding the beautiful fairy.
Even from the edge of it, they felt deeply uncomfortable.
"Don't come any closer."
Elysia pressed a hand to her head and hurriedly stopped them from approaching. This malice from the primordial soul was something even Natsuki Minamiya and the others could not resist.
Still, to Elysia, it was only a minor inconvenience! A little troublesome, perhaps, but nowhere near enough to leave her helpless.
Hearing Elysia's words, the witches naturally did not dare come closer. They could only watch the fairy beside Sleeping Beauty with concern.
They had never expected that Sleeping Beauty's side... would contain such a terrifying trap.
Liana, the beautiful vampire who had recovered somewhat from her injuries and followed them in, was equally shocked by the sight. She knew of Kaleid Blood; her family had even once possessed a base body of Kaleid Blood.
But what exactly was going on with this base body before them?
It was as though some horrifying curse lay within her.
And at that level of intensity, it was like facing a true Progenitor. It was utterly beyond Liana's ability to resist.
Liana felt a wave of lingering fear. If she had been the one to awaken this Sleeping Beauty, would she have been the one facing that curse?
A blessing in disguise.
She suddenly felt fortunate. The frustration she had felt over someone else taking her prize no longer hurt quite so much.
But what exactly was this...?
"Malice on the level of a Progenitor!"
"Could it be... the curse of the original Fourth Progenitor?"
Aye Kanase watched the scene and could not help speculating
