(Miluno)
Radiance had actually appeared inside Mi Xue, who had been born from darkness.
Normally, that would undoubtedly have been good news.
But under these circumstances, it seemed ill-timed...
No, this was the worst possible outcome.
After only a moment's assessment, the surrounding black mud changed its previous classification and treated her as an enemy to be destroyed.
"Mi Xue, fall back!"
She should have been able to return using the Morning Star Crystal's power, but she and the other Mi Xue were like an ouroboros devouring each other. For the moment, they were impossible to separate. Clearly, she was being held in place.
"Tch, Ceruno."
"Leave it to me!" the Proxy answered first.
"I'll help too..." Only then did Ceruno speak.
Two new layers of bubbles appeared around them. The drills formed from black mud could break through at any moment, but at least they could buy us some time. I had to do something before then...
"Mi Xue, pour that radiance into her!"
Since radiance triggered an "immune response" from the black mud, pouring it into that Mi Xue would let us turn that trait against her.
Even if she could convert it, that would still take time. Mi Xue would surely be able to do something with that opening, but instead...
"No!"
The child refused, her words perfectly clear.
"This is something precious to Mi Xue!"
Come to think of it, what exactly was that radiance?
It wasn't something flowing in from outside. The positive emotions produced by the people of the New World were all gathering inside me. Mi Xue, who was on the dark side, couldn't receive any of them...
It was something born from her own emotions.
Could she do something like that all on her own?
No, there was no need to question
