Griseo vs. Pelois

The Signets wielded by the Thirteen Flame-Chasers dimmed one by one, entering a sealed state just like [Salvation] and [True Self].

In the end, only [The Stars] and [Spiral] remained, their starlight still flowing.

Griseo lightly tapped with her fingertip.

Buzz—starlight rippled outward.

Centered on Griseo, countless tiny stars emerged, rose, and spread. Seconds later, a dazzling canopy of stars enveloped the entire Radiant Porcelain production base.

Just like the battle in the old mining town, once [The Stars]' domain unfolded, it temporarily suppressed the rules of the pocket world, and Griseo returned to her grown-up appearance.

"Within the domain, you can attack with everything you have. You don't need to worry about Wise's body being unable to endure it."

Beneath the starry canopy, a sword of light appeared in Griseo's hand. "Do you need me to provide a weapon? The Azure Nether Sword, the Demon Blade, or something else?"

Ten meters away, Wise's expression changed, his gaze complicated.

On one hand, Pelois knew Griseo was looking down on him. On the other, he had never seen Griseo like this before.

Pelois finally understood why Wise had complained, "Belle is always setting me up!"

Belle definitely knew about the appearance and strength Griseo had displayed now, yet she had never told Wise—while unwittingly setting her brother up, she had dragged him into it too.

However...

Feeling the enhancement from [The Stars] Signet, Pelois likewise activated Ether Energy. Golden radiance immediately spread through the air.

"As you wish!"

Pelois held nothing back. Golden Ether shot skyward, and a silver longsword—Corona—appeared in Wise's hand.

Though his aura was at a disadvantage, Pelois launched the first attack. He darted forward, golden light crashing into the starry canopy like a meteor plunging into the sea.

Griseo neither dodged nor retreated. She gathered Ether Energy
