FWOOOOOOOOOOOP!
A sudden pull shook the ground.
The red gate behind them began sucking everything in, whether it was loose rocks, splinters of ice, even Beelzebub's severed fragments.
The vacuum howled like a beast calling the end of the dungeon.
Aestrea's aura, which had been burning bright and violently, slowly started to flicker out.
He glanced at the gate and sighed.
"...Ah. Our time here is over."
He turned away from the others.
"What a pity..."
The glowing swords around him disappeared with a sharp whip of mana.
He stepped forward, toward Lilith, who was still kneeling with that maddening grin on her lips.
Without saying a word, Aestrea reached down and grabbed one of the ice chains coiled around her neck.
Clink...
Lilith trembled with a delighted gasp.
"Ahh~ yes... pull harder..." she whispered, her tongue brushing her lips as she leaned her face toward the chain.
Her tail coiled loosely around his leg, just to feel closer.
