The wings unfolded in a way that defied the laws of physics, occupying the entire space above the altar.
Just then, a beam of light slanted across the statue's face.
This allowed the group to see its face clearly.
It was that of a stunningly beautiful woman.
Strangely, however, its face was marred by several cracks.
She was clad in shattered Battle Armor, both hands gripping a Giant Sword plunged into the ground before her, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

Lev merely gave it a cursory glance, careful not to look too long.
Even with his specialized goggles,
there was no guarantee of immunity from the influence of these Alien Origin Bodies.
However, just then,
the new team member behind him, Sogil, let his tactical flashlight waver. The blinding beam shot directly onto the statue's face.
In that instant, everyone froze.
—CRACK!
The sound of grinding stone was chillingly clear.
A terrifying scene entered Lev's peripheral vision.
