Back in the real world, the Grimoire of Darkness was shaking. Lira's life force was getting very weak, similar to what was happening to Gabriel before.
Fortunately, there was a silver lining in the sand for Lira. It was that her soul was still inside the Grimoire of Darkness, where she had the strongest connection with the Grimoire.
Meanwhile, it has been quite different for Gabriel, who had been quite far from his real Grimoire.
The Holy Grimoire of Darkness also started taking matters into its own hands to protect its owner. For that, it first needed to break the control of Gabriel on the Realm of Darkness.
An incredible amount of Dark Energy started flooding the Realm of Darkness which Gabriel had taken into his control. The realm, which had turned all red thanks to the red mist, again started turning dark.
