Hilia groggily opened her eyes and found herself in what seemed to be a luxurious double room at an inn.
"Hilia, are you feeling any better? You scared me to death."
Vanessa's voice came from nearby. Hilia sat up, rubbing her forehead; the memories before she lost consciousness quickly surfaced in her mind.
It seemed something drifted out of that Magic Puppet, struck her soul—and then she passed out. After that...
Rose's voice echoed in her mind: "It was that God hidden inside the Magic Puppet. He tried to possess your body to reincarnate, but I dragged him into the seal."
"What does 'possess' mean?" Hilia asked, puzzled.
"It means erasing your soul and seizing your body. You can call it Divine Descent—only Gods can do that."
Hilia shivered: "I know about Divine Descent. The original Holy Daughter was a vessel for a God's arrival, but the God only descended temporarily, never erased her soul. The Evil God is terrifying!"
