Olivia still could not understand what was happening until her senses flared. Her aura surged as several protective magic accessories activated at once.
"What is this black fog?!"
She stepped back and stayed behind the two Heroic Spirits as Elayne and Ninsun summoned their weapons.
Elayne called forth a long golden sword formed from her own wood, which hardened into gleaming golden metal embedded with dozens of spiritual jewels.
Ninsun summoned her golden staff, radiating the combined divinity of the Sun God and her own power. In her shadow, her husband stood ready to switch places at any moment.
Both had consumed several dozen Imaginarium Cores, restoring their internal spiritual energies and leaving them far better prepared for battle.
But what could possibly be approaching that made them feel so on edge?
From the shadows, footsteps echoed. Olivia's senses sharpened as she detected an unfamiliar energy signature.
"Wait… what is this?!"
