Just as Griseo successfully suppressed [Primus]'s consciousness and plotted to harness the Azure Nether Sword's power, the outside world gradually began to change...

Lemnian Hollow—Mine Ancient Array

Originally, the boulder had continuously gathered Anomalous Corruptive Breath, spawning an endless stream of Ethereals. However, under the joint assault of the four members of Hollow Special Operations Section 6 led by Hoshimi Miyabi, the disaster had not spread further.

But when two pillars of light, one black and one white, shot into the sky, the situation began to change.

It was as if the boulder's supply of energy had been cut off. Anomalous Corruptive Breath began accumulating without end, and all kinds of high-level Ethereals started to emerge.

"Miyabi, this can't go on!"

After destroying several Ethereals, Tsukishiro Yanagi said, "We have to destroy that rock first, or it'll wear us down!"

"Alright! Yanagi, Soukaku, Harumasa, cover me!"

Hoshimi Miyabi nodded, then drew her blade. Freezing white frost instantly cleared the Corruptive Breath around her.

Six wounds immediately bloomed across the bodies of the three newly formed Ethereals, and they shattered into Ether Particles filling the sky like puppets with their strings cut.

After Hoshimi Miyabi cleared herself room to move with a single strike, she immediately sheathed her blade and began gathering power.

"Yanagi!" Hoshimi Miyabi called in a low voice.

"Boss, leave it to us!"

Soukaku was the first to step forward. She unfurled her banner and summoned an icy tornado, its immense pulling force relentlessly tearing at the Ethereals.

"Grrr~"

Suddenly, Soukaku's stomach growled at the most inappropriate moment.

"Hang in there, Soukaku. After the mission, I'll give you three times your usual allowance!" Tsukishiro Yanagi put away her weapon and moved to Hoshimi Miyabi's other side.

"Alright~!"
