Roughly twelve hours had passed since Sylvia lost consciousness during her evolution process...
Ssshhhhhh...
The sky above the villa was now bright and clear. The sun hung high, bathing the ruins and open fields in its warm light. Yet, that light seemed to halt at the villa's boundary. A thick, black aura still cloaked the decaying building, repelling daylight and casting a shadow as if from another world.
Upstairs, in the room where the evolution took place, silence reigned—dense and heavy. Residual death energy lingered in the air, swirling like thick fog. The once-radiant magic vortex around Sylvia's body had faded entirely.
DING!

"Ugh…"
Sylvia groaned softly, opening her deep crimson eyes as a dim glow returned to them. Her vision blurred for a moment before focusing on the cracked ceiling above. Her body felt light—yet different. As if a new kind of energy now flowed freely within her.
She slowly sat up.
