"...She... ran away?"
March 7th stared dumbfounded at Phantylia as she shot skyward, straight into the clouds.
And it wasn't just March 7th.
Even Jing Yuan, Dan Heng, and Welt were left scratching their heads.
Honestly.
They had already prepared themselves for a bitter battle.
Especially Jing Yuan, who had been determined to take Phantylia down even at the cost of severe injury-or his life.
But...
What was going on?
