First Act [3]

As soon as Zara regained control over her body, her bloodline suppression vanished as if it never existed. Her body shrank and morphed back into her human form, wrapped in a beautiful black dress.

Ria undid her transformation as well, sighing in relief. Despite her ferocity in the moment, she didn't actually want to die. It was relieving that the whole ordeal was done with.

Her rationality had long since been returned to her. The unquenchable bloodlust she'd been emitting was gone entirely.

Her body flashed over to the elders to check on their conditions. Other than some light trauma from the prior illusions, they were completely intact.

The Great Elder on the other hand…

Her mind nearly shattered. It was unknown whether Zara did it consciously or subconsciously, but her aura had specifically targeted the Great Elder among the crowd, bringing her an utterly mind-breaking experience.
