After the chaotic situation ended, Davey quietly stared at the red ore he had snatched from the mysterious monster. Unlike normal ore, it looked like a crystal with concentrated power.0

“Is that what you took from it?”0

“For now. But what are you doing?”0

“You said yourself that it’s gonna be dangerous. So, I won't let you fight alone this time.” Illyna steadied her power and firmly told him, “I'll be your sword and fight. It will have to kill me before I'll let it touch you.”0

“Shouldn't it be the other way around?”0

“Well, you'll protect me, right? Hehe.”0

“Yeah.”0

Putting protection aside, he was sure that she’d be a major asset in terms of firepower. The Continuum-Attacking Blade she mastered would be a threat even to the Thanatos of the past.0

Unlike Reina, who withered without her talent fully blossoming, Illyna had fully awakened her own. The difference in results was astonishing.0

Davey couldn’t help but smile as she pouted and stuck out her tongue and asked him, “But what are you going to do with that crystal?”0

“Well, since it's a huge energy agglomeration, I want to take a look at it.”0

“I don’t know much about magic, but can't you just look at it?”0

“I’m not sure, but it seems to be a memory fragment,” he hesitantly told her.0

“A memory fragment? From that monster? Then once we analyze it we'll know who it is and what its goal is, right?”0

“It’d be great to see what’s in it right away, but I don’t know how.”0

It was something Davey could probably just ask Willow once she woke up, but he couldn't let her get involved with that monster any further.0

“Davey. This thing… you said it's a fragment of its memory, right?”0

“Yeah,” he confirmed.0

“Then, just out of curiosity, maybe the power inside comes from the mad angel who was influenced by it?” she said as she tapped the red crystal. “I just thought maybe we could use the power the mad angel has to remove the trigger.”0

She chuckled awkwardly, thinking that she sounded...0
