Countless white butterflies circled around the city, illuminating the darkness that had taken hold of the area for hundreds of years.
Lux hovered at the center of it all. The souls longing to regain their freedom all flew toward him, hoping to end their misery.
Gaap and all of Lux's Named Creatures watched this scene in silence. None of them dared to disturb this sacred ceremony that the Half-Elf had decided to initiate by himself.
Unfortunately, not everyone shared their sentiments.
A crack appeared a hundred meters away from the Half-Elf, revealing the figure of an Argonaut-Ranked Abyssal Black Dragon.
Without giving anyone time to react, the Black Dragon unleashed an Abyssal Dragon Breath at the Half-Elf, who was too focused on what he was doing to notice.
"No!" Gaap shouted as he hurriedly summoned his own Named Creature. But he was simply too far away, and his Summon couldn't move fast enough to save his Disciple, who was attacked in his blind spot.
