The Awaiting

The inner regions of the destroyed city.

The Soul Shrieker was silently staring at the sky with a heavy expression.

I really can't understand why [Chaos] had issued me such a mission.

It couldn't help but recite simultaneously with both of its male and female voice: 『 「 Endless [Chaos], I was the founder of the Era, why did you have me remain here to prevent an unknown danger to my enemy? 』」

Lines of grey text appeared in front of its eyes:

[Everything is judged with the search for the ultimate secret as a priority]

[Whether it is you, or the other side of the Apotheotic Combat, both sides must work towards this goal as hard as possible]

[An excellent display during this process will grant you appropriate rewards]

Soul Shrieker continued to stare, still completely puzzled.

「 『 Reward? 」』 it asked.
