📜 Scene — Edge of the Demonic Continent
Medusa stood at the edge of the demonic continent…
The wind whipped through her hair, and the sky was unnaturally dark.
She stared toward the distant horizon, toward the continent of Mira…
Then said in shock mixed with disbelief:
"Who… dared to use such filthy magic…?"
"Even in the demonic continent… no one would dare do that."
Suddenly—
She felt a presence behind her.
She slowly turned…
To find the Demonic Saint standing there.
He spoke in a calm yet puzzled tone:
"What made you leave your cave, Medusa?"
"I haven't seen you in a long time."
Medusa looked at him with clear sarcasm:
"That's none of your business… you annoying liar."
He didn't get angry.
Instead, he turned calmly, as if about to leave…
But before disappearing—
Medusa spoke with curiosity:
"You don't know what's happening… do you?"
He stopped.
She continued, looking toward the horizon:
"Strange… for someone to be killed in this world using that magic…"
"Especially in the continent of Mira."
"You know very well… how much the dragons hate this kind of magic… sacrificial magic."
The Demonic Saint looked at her and said firmly:
"Return to your cave, Medusa."
"This is not our concern."
"The war hasn't started yet…"
"And we will not be the ones to start it."
The moment he finished—
He disappeared.
Medusa clicked her tongue in annoyance…
Then turned back toward her cave, muttering:
"I didn't expect… to see you here."
📜 Scene — An Unexpected Encounter
But she suddenly stopped.
There…
Inside the cave—
Lilith stood.
The Princess of Demons… and one of the rulers.
Medusa's eyes widened in surprise, then she smiled with interest:
"Oh… who would've expected to see the princess after all this isolation?"
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time."
Lilith looked at her coldly…
Then suddenly—
Dark wings burst from her back.
She said sharply:
"I'm going on a tour around the continent of Mira… and beyond."
"To see if anyone is planning to target the demons…"
"Or if there is a hidden power… trying to exploit us."
The moment she finished—
She vanished.
But this time…
Her disappearance wasn't quiet.
A violent storm of dark wind followed.
Medusa stepped back slightly, shocked:
"What is that woman doing…?"
"Is she looking for a new rival… or what?"
She shook her head…
Then opened her palm.
A small snake emerged, moving slowly.
She said coldly:
"Go… and tell the Saint what Lilith said."
"Then… tell him to inform the Demon King himself."
"He is close to him."
The snake slithered away and vanished into the darkness.
Medusa raised her gaze to the sky…
Something strange was happening.
Demonic crows…
Were flying away from the demonic continent.
She narrowed her eyes and said in surprise:
"Did those crows sense the catastrophe…?"
"And are they heading toward Mira…?"
Then she laughed lightly, but coldly:
"Who would've thought… I'd see it with my own eyes…"
"And not through those useless snakes."
She sighed slowly…
And added:
"Until now… not a single crow has been found…"
"Even though they've been searching everywhere…"
📜 Scene — Medusa's Doubt
The moment Medusa finished speaking—
She suddenly paused.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she thought:
"But… why haven't they found a single crow?"
Doubt began to creep in.
She knew the nature of demonic crows very well…
One crow alone could never lead a campaign of this scale.
There had to be an entire group accompanying it.
But…
Despite all her attempts to search through her scattered snakes—
She hadn't seen a single crow within the force heading toward Mira.
She raised her head toward the sky…
And saw something strange.
Massive numbers of demonic crows…
Leaving the demonic continent—
Heading toward Mira.
She whispered slowly:
"This… is very strange."
"I need to investigate this myself."
📜 Scene — Lilith Moves
At the same time…
After leaving the demonic continent—
Lilith paused above a group of nearby islands controlled by demons.
She looked down from the sky…
And saw that the demons there were weak…
And not performing their duties properly.
She shook her head calmly:
"I'll deal with this later…"
"After I return."
Then a terrifying dark aura surrounded her body…
And in an instant—
She disappeared.
📜 Scene — Arrival at the Continent of Mira
Lilith appeared in the continent of Mira.
But the moment she arrived—
She stopped.
She felt something…
A strange demonic power.
She said in confusion:
"What is happening here…?"
She vanished again—
And appeared in front of a dark cave near the borders of the human empire.
She stood before it, her eyes gleaming:
"What is inside…?"
"This aura… is not normal."
Suddenly—
A hand emerged from the darkness.
A distorted hand, stretching rapidly—
Trying to grab her.
But—
At the last moment—
Lilith vanished.
She reappeared in the sky, looking down at the cave with a smirk:
"So… you're the source of this dark energy."
Suddenly—
It appeared before her…
A deformed body.
A swollen corpse, its features unclear, leaking dark energy.
The moment Lilith saw it—
She laughed.
"You…"
"So it's you."
She suddenly raised her hand toward the sky—
And waved it quickly.
In an instant—
A barrier formed…
Preventing anyone from seeing what would happen here.
The distorted creature looked at her…
Then spoke in a horrifying voice—
A voice filled with dread and terror:
"I haven't seen you in a long time… Lilith."
"How have you been…?"
It paused for a moment…
Then added with cold mockery:
"Are you still… hiding behind your father?"
