16 years ago, Dolla's funeral was attended by a large number of people, but after hours and hours had passed, only one person remained at her tombstone. Ereadus stood alone in front of Dolla's tombstone, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmCkiCl6Ry
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZQUOf3OKm
Ereadus - I always thought you were the bravest person alive.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuknrpYSjCo
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCT4VNGnap
Ereadus choked out, his voice barely above a whisper.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0x7wMsdkJm
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRYpzo1l2x
Ereadus - You liar... You lied... Why did you have to die? You had so much more to teach me... And I fell for every word... who knew...376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiDAxWTNA8
I can't even look at our daughter without seeing you in her. I had to lock her away in her own room because of it. What am I supposed to do now, hm? I HATE YOU FOR LEAVING ME! You've changed me... forever.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTW1hY0lsa
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NMwuH7TkA
Ereadus fell to his knees, his fists clenched tightly as he let out a guttural scream of agony and despair. He remained there for hours, until the sun began to set and the shadows grew long. Only then did he rise, his face etched with grief and determination. He knew what he had to do.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcozlLHOQLI
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3sFbd6i7q
Ereadus - Here you are. I did it. I brought you back to life, just like I promised. But now you're just a puppet, controlled by my magic. Look at me. Look at my eyes. They're dead, just like yours. I've become a monster, Dolla. I've hurt our daughter so many times. She's covered in scars, both physically and mentally. I've destroyed her. And it's all because of my obsession with bringing you back. Hope you are happy.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vgFk77YB7

When Lunadea arrives in the town her heart sinks as she realizes the gravity of the situation. She knows she has to do something to help, but she is not sure what she can do against such overwhelming odds.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafxLbThYt9
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OoEQpCZMF
Lunadea - Ethan, what are you doing? Why are you just standing here? We don't have time for this. Look around you. People are in trouble and we need to do something about it. Please, talk to me. What happened to you?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAu2gW01eL
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9YjIR0lUO
Ethan's eyes were fixed on the figure of his deceased father, still standing on the battlefield as if he had never died. The shock and pain of seeing him again was too much for Ethan to bear, and tears began to well up in his eyes.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5NfzVojqx1
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppVQqms9J8
Ethan - That's my dead dad over there.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhwqE9ePSF
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW5ucoUiEP
Lunadea's eyes widened in shock.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYMaxH8nDU
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZDQgahse
Lunadea - What? The guy we fought at the castle? Nevermind that now, please. We need you if we have any chance of winning this fight. Please, stop him. I'll go fight the other one that's destroying everything. Can I count on you?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0n8iO9vReX
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJl8HACXt
Ethan took a deep breath and nodded. He couldn't let his pain and grief consume him. There were lives at stake, and he had to do everything in his power to protect them. He wiped the tears from his eyes and stood up, ready to face the enemy once more.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj33qGsiJV
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVulYiEN4J5
Ethan - Yes, you can count on me. Let's do this.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5wLOvH2oP
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlbUd6FsUL
Lunadea left Ethan's side and headed towards the ice queen, Dolla. As she approached, she saw that everything behind Dolla was on fire, but the area around her was shrouded in a cold aura. Each time Dolla struck the ground with her sword, a pillar of ice shot up like a needle.Lunadea studied Dolla's eyes and saw that they held the same emptiness as Ethan's father's had.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJtduEiPZB
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSsmgfH85g
Lunadea - By the look in your eyes, I can tell that you're also an ex-dead person, just like Ethan's father.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQwyedI3xJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJpPU6BdDj
Dolla - ... D-D-D-D376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6fy4Ppd1W
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfyiGJTFvd
Lunadea - You can talk?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XeBPns3sI
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r7V2XOoRh
Dolla let out a stuttered response376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5r1ZwWZNm
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ51y885i8
Dolla - De-De-Dead...376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVHLfLun7I
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpEXvZmJww
Lunadea's heart ached for the woman in front of her. She could see that her empty eyes transformed in pain and confusion eyes. But Lunadea couldn't let that distract her from the task at hand. She had to stop Dolla and the other enemies from causing any more destruction. She tightened her grip on her sword and prepared to engage in battle.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKLaTuuRyL
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLVLHJAmDN
Dolla was a master swordsman, and she was pushing Lunadea to her limits. The only thing keeping Lunadea alive was her movement; her elegant, but at the same time balanced and agile movement, allowed her to avoid being hit by Dolla's sword and ice needles.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBmkfLoDXA
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Uy8h8Ljg
The battle between the two women was majestic to behold in the night. Lunadea's sword of fire cut through Dolla's ice needles, and her palm of fire stopped some of Dolla's ice attacks, making the battlefield glow in the night. It was a sight to behold, and both women were giving it their all.But despite Lunadea's best efforts, Dolla's superior skill and strength were starting to wear her down. Lunadea was panting and sweating, her movements becoming less precise and more frenzied. She knew she couldn't keep this up for much longer.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ZnhhqMtB
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE5PnqGdaf
Lunadea - I can't believe she's this strong. I never stood a chance here. What do I do?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCTjY1lP3E
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyOqoUdWax
But just as Lunadea was starting to lose hope, a voice called out from the distance.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUFuNa2K2R

Sammy - EREADUS!!376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkJyKVkCiO

Lunadea - Watch out, guys. She's very strong.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UK2pCvipv
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzrOp4lEpU
Sammy - Of course she is. She used to be one of the strongest Shadomins, rank 1. That's the ice queen Dolla, Ereadus's wife.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw50ZXKj626
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3stWG2HpM1
Everyone was shocked by this revelation, but the most shocked was Mangetsu. You could see the pain on her face as she started to tear up.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKRasfpPPr
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoZ1gELdrt
Mangetsu looked at Dolla with a pained expression.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLS4aJkoH1
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBAw9WFblv
Mangetsu - That's the girl I always see with a bright smile on her face. But now she's not smiling anymore. What happened?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DgBkMLyRg
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzKcnkxWUa
Sammy -That's your mother, Mangetsu. Your father used your DNA to summon her here.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvzTkmomDQ

Mangetsu's eyes widened in shock.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2jI2Mkgni

Mangetsu - That's my mom? I have a mom?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUjgqHjgZW
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ0LiMnp25
Sammy - See what you've done to your own daughter, you monster?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oy2GeG8pb
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nt90hgr8f
Ereadus - You made a big mistake bringing her here, Sammy. Dolla, take the girl and bring her to me.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoUrfzzRF7
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwy2iwq7Gj
Sammy - Not anymore... I promised her...376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdsD7KOLwh
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFm2KZf5PX
Sammy looked at Mangetsu's face, her confusion and pain as she tore up, and he knew he couldn't allow that to happen. He disappeared and reappeared in front of Ereadus.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MYWhvvaWX
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjLJQmTExj
Sammy - You will not touch her anymore.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TzOXqcPdJ
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXn5ARq4V2
Ereadus - Dolla!376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpCYvgED0T
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqMDpYg8jb
Dolla immediately surrounded him with a barrier of ice needles, protecting him from harm. Sammy tried to break through the barrier, but he was unable to.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKKDsk0D2Z
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuZ2jxVbrX
Suddenly, Dolla grabbed Sammy and threw him away with great force. Just before the impact, Sammy disappeared and reappeared beside Lunadea and Dorian..376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg5B3Yqx6H
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWEqOZNFux
Sammy - We need to do something about the village and the undead around here. Dorian and I are the best to fight her. We're the fastest, and we can keep away from her attacks. Lunadea, do you think you could help the guard fight everything else?376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYttbAHZwo
376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorhh3q2Jft
Lunadea hesitated.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfsWJ9tjMx

Sammy - I protected your jar. Make sure to keep your promise and keep the girl safe.376Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeV2j3jPAX
