A few minutes earlier, near the barrier of the Pyra Empire.
'Aether... they arrived.'
Victor's lips slowly curled into a faint smirk as he turned his gaze toward Selene and gave a small nod.
Just as he predicted.
Yes... he knew they would appear in the Aurora Empire first.
After all... he... No.25 hadn't completely erased everyone, right?
That one metallic figure escaped.
No... escaped wasn't the correct word.
More like the spear itself stopped before piercing through that thing completely.
Victor still remembered that strange sensation clearly.
It wasn't hesitation from No.25.
The feeling had been different... unnatural. Almost as if the spear itself had refused to continue its attack against that particular metallic figure.
Even now, the thought left a bitter taste in his mouth.
