It had been two whole days since the crew had been saved by Lucius, and the entire country was in chaos.
The beach near where the incident happened was locked down, surrounded by S-Ranks and security forces trying to break into the dungeon gate without destroying it or killing Lucius in the process.
…If he was still alive.
Vanessa wanted to be there with them, wanted to try and help, but only the S-Ranks had been permitted access.
Everyone else was left behind.
"Do you think Luna's going to be okay?" Emilia asked softly from the couch.
Her voice was trembling but she was calm.
She wasn't only worried about Lucius… she was worried about Luna too... and Elara... Elara was in the training room... they could hear distant explosions as the awakener calmed herself with punching anything she saw.
Vanessa couldn't even say anything, she wanted to hit something too.
The girl had been crying in the basement nonstop ever since the stream ended.
Vanessa gave a quiet nod.
