The leader of the Blighters sensed a powerful presence, something that only a high ranked spirit could exude. She reflectively stepped back several times, her scepter gathering her dark, corrupted nature's essence, her eyes glowing sharply.
"A High Rank Spirit? And not a normal one! What is this?! Dreams and Nightmares? Such an abstract element, into a Spirit protecting a mere child?!" She roared furiously. "That goddess must have casted that spirit to protect her! Be careful, my siblings."
"W-What the…?!" Elena stepped back, suddenly realizing she was being shrouded by the essence of nightmares and dreams in the form of black and purple clouds.
She quickly noticed it took the form of a black scythe with a skull on top, glowing with a crimson aura. And it talked! Not only Elena was shocked, but Anna, Steiner, and Elisa all gasped as they saw this phantasmal being appear.
