"Hey, Savior."

Mydei keenly sensed the self-doubt hidden beneath Phainon's smile.

"How about we have a contest to see who can take down Aegle first?"

Perhaps these words provoked Phainon's underlying code, for in less than a second he switched to a fighting expression and said loudly.

"Let me clarify first, Mydei —you are the challenger!"

"Hmph, then I'll wait and see. I hope you're not just boasting."

Mydei walked at the back of the group with his arms Phainon, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips. He knew this method would solve the problem for a while.

But... how can it be cured completely?

Mydei's barren mind was engulfed in a storm of thought.

Hyacine silently looked behind her and then withdrew her gaze. Fortunately... Lord Mydei Di had indeed successfully enlightened Phainon, just as she had expected.

Although it's only temporary, it seems I'll have to go back and see if I can contact Cyrene to comfort Sera Phainon. The one who tied the knot must untie it.

Paying attention to the mental health of her fellow Chrysos Heirs is also something Ms. Hyacine considers essential.

"That chilling gaze... Is it Aegle watching us?"

Phainon looked at the eyes appearing on the [Mural of Celestial Phenomena] and felt a chill. As a country boy, he had never seen anything like this before, and his body involuntarily tensed up.

Hyacine skillfully manipulated the West Wind Compass, which was known in the Duskglow Courtyard not far away. After debugging and calibration, she used it to create a miniature rainbow bridge.

Although it was somewhat different from what was used in the Duskglow Courtyard and was more complicated, it was still no challenge for Hyacine; it just took her a little longer.

"Let's go, watch your step. This scalding golden pool is said to be the divine energy that powers the Eye of Dawn and Dusk. Be careful not to fall in."

"Etc."

At that Anaxa reached out and stopped the crowd that was about to walk onto the rainbow bridge.

"That is?"

Phainon looked ahead with some surprise.

"A winged Pegasus..."

A possibility came to Hyacine's mind.

Could it be...?

At that Anaxa also thought of the things recorded in the book.

"Stay alert and follow it."

At that Anaxa took the lead and stepped forward.

Legend has it that the heroine Senios had two winged beast companions.

Hyacine slowed her pace and began to introduce the two people behind her.

"Sorabis and Lunabris, they are her mounts and comrades."

If they hadn't perished, they might have been a help to us.

The group followed the celestial horse's figure to a platform.

"Disappeared?"

Anaxa.

"The embodiment of obsession... guidance is above, hmm? The aura of the Black Tide."

At that Anaxa squatted down and began to use her powers.

"Be careful, prepare for battle."

At that Anaxa drew a weapon from his waist, a gun he had made himself, and said loudly.

The group took the elevator to the upper floor. Because of the Black Tide that Anaxa had mentioned, Hyacine did not call out to the winged beast opposite her. She also saw the figure being Corruption the Black Tide next to the seemingly soul-like figure.

"Wait a minute, Anaxa..."

Seeing that even as they slowly approached, they still showed no intention of attacking, Hyacine reached out and stopped them.

"Let me try to communicate with them."

Anaxa, but took a step back as a tacit agreement.

"You... must be Lunabris, right?"

A neighing sound rang out from the afterimage of the Pegasus, and Hyacine understood its affirmation from it.

Hyacine turned her gaze to the figure corrupted by the Black Tide, her expression somewhat complicated, and said softly.

"Then, the creature before us, tormented by the Corruption of the Black Tide... must be Lord Sorabis."

They led us here to help our companions find liberation...

Lunabris out another definite hiss, and Phainon and Mydei silently relaxed their tense bodies as a result.

Trianne walked over with pity and touched Sorabis.

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt..."

After observing for a while, Anaxa spoke.

"The Black Tide Corruption Sorabis's body. Later, Honkai Energy dispelled the Black Tide, but someone absorbed all the Honkai Energy at the Eye of Dawn and Dusk, causing the Black Tide to spread again."

The previous encounters only slightly alleviated the Corruption.

"You've been tormented for a long time, haven't you? But, with your last shred of self-respect, you persevered and didn't succumb to it."

Don't be afraid, you won't be alone.

I am Hyacinthia, a healer who inherited the blood of heroes.

"Sunthunder Knight" Senios, she was once your ally, wasn't she?

Even though Your Excellency Sorabis, your body is about to be completely Corruption by the Black Tide, your soul remains pure.

I can also... heal your stubborn soul.

Hold fast to your remaining will.

I will let you... awaken once more as a heroic spirit.

Phainon and Mydei a glance, then stepped forward with utmost seriousness.

Using the Remembrance that Hyacine had recalled in his mind, Phainon took a deep breath. It was time for him to make a change.

Instead of overthinking, take action and make a change.

Otherwise, he would never succeed.

Although he is still young, he will strive to become the Savior everyone expects, and he will definitely stand in front of his family.

Phainon's voice was high-pitched.

"Sorabis, the legendary ' Wings of the Blazing Sun ' who always accompanies heroes, it would be my honor if this battle reminds you of your past exploits..."

Come, hero!

At that Anaxa's eyes. His student was finally beginning to grow up... Thankfully... it wasn't a forced 'growing up' because of his family.

Don't fall because you bear the weight of everyone's wishes, but instead, soar together with everyone, carrying your own dreams—"Icarus"!

My wish is... to protect my family, and to protect everyone in Amphoreus.

Come, hero!

Show me your will, as radiant as the blazing sun!

Phainon's eyes shone with an unprecedented determination as he reached out and pulled at the void.

[Dawn's Early Light] ripped through space and was grasped in Phainon's hand.

"Mydei, let me handle this alone."

Mydei looked at Phainon, and unusually, did not try to snatch it.

"Don't let me down, Savior."

Mydei patted Phainon's right shoulder with his right hand and moved to Phainon's back, clearing a fighting space for Phainon.

"Go for it, Little Little Bai!"

Trianne stood on the sidelines, clenching her fist and raising her little hand to cheer Phainon on, while Hyacine waved back.

"Good luck, Your Phainon."

"If you lose, you should write a self-criticism."

Yes, that's what Anaxa.

When Phainon heard this, he paused for a moment.

"Keep it up, Phainon! I look forward to your growth."

Sera had also been watching Phainon and his group closely. He was pleased that Phainon was able to grow up peacefully without the pressure of losing loved ones, even faster than he had expected.

Yes, Khaslana has always been such a strong person.
