"Y-You are...? Another piece of that Lilith?!"
Her eyes widened the moment those words left her mouth.
The fear on her face wasn't subtle at all. It was the kind of fear that looked deeply rooted, something that had been buried inside her for a very long time and was suddenly dragged back to the surface. For someone who had supposedly been involved in killing Lilith, her reaction felt almost strange. You would think someone responsible for bringing down such a terrifying existence would feel pride, confidence, or maybe even hatred whenever that name came up.
Instead, she looked scared.
Genuinely scared.
It wasn't just fear either. It almost looked like panic.
"As Satania suspected..." she muttered, taking a step back as her expression became increasingly unstable. "Lilith is coming back."
Her eyes shook slightly.
"She was right. She was absolutely right to think that we needed to strengthen our military power because something like this would happen again."
