118 Beacon

Shooting up into the sky like a great beacon, was an arc of illustrious golden light.

There wasn't a single sentient being in the land of Dola that did not know what it meant.

Exedra simply never expected to see it in his own backyard.

"T-that's.." Lusamine began.

The demon king did not even allow her to finish before he sprouted his wings and flew towards the center of the blast at breakneck speed.

As if they thought he would need backup, the demons behind him quickly sprouted their wings and flew behind him.

As Exedra got closer and closer to the beacon of light, he noticed the intense scent of fire and smoke.

He landed amongst the rubble of a ruined building and immediately realized what it must've been used for.

A short distance away, Exedra could see that the source of light was coming from an item on the ground.

But that wasn't what had his attention at the moment.

"Valerie?"

Floating right in front of Exedra's face was his famously hotheaded wife.
