The artifact descended slowly, hovering in the air before them. It was a chalice—ancient, blackened silver, but the flame within was not extinguished. A violet fire burned steadily, casting eerie shadows across the chamber walls. The dark mana radiating from it made Andrey's Ki senses recoil.
Sein stared at the floating chalice, her gauntlets dimmed. "How are we supposed to purify this thing? Lisa's not here."
The system's holographic screen flickered to life, its tone reassuring.
System: Don't worry~ With the power of love, you can purify anything. Just calm your heart and let your affection flow into the artifact.
Andrey adjusted his cracked glasses, wincing at the pain in his ribs. "So only a Magical Girl can purify it."
System: Correct~ Sein-chan, it's time to show the power of your love!
Sein's face flushed red. "Shut up, you bastard system! What 'power of love'?! I don't have anything like that!"
