◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Everyone was shocked. Not because of these three extraordinary-looking Treasure Tools, but because of their owner, more precisely the owner of Rank 64: Staff Traverso, Hecate.
"Hecate is actually a Crimson Lord, how is that possible!"
"Impossible, this is a lie!"
"...Crimson Lord. She didn't appear on the previous Transcendent List. Looking at her strength, she's clearly surpassed the top tier."
"...The Dimensional List announcement won't be wrong..."
"..."
"Previously, many people speculated about Hecate's identity. Devil, Angel, God... everything was speculated. Who would have thought she turned out to be a Crimson Lord."
"High Priestess, from this it's clearly visible that Hecate has very high status in the Crimson Realm."
"..."
Disbelief, disappointment, shock... various emotions mixed among humans.
It was natural to have these emotions.
The beautiful women on the Eternal Beauty List, each had many fans, fully comparable to rising pop stars.
Even Tomie also had many crazy people obsessed with her, considering her the most perfect goddess in their hearts. Regarding situations like this, it could only be said that the bigger the forest, the more types of birds there are.
Just those entering the Eternal Beauty List were already like this. Meanwhile, the top ten had extremely excessive fan bases.
For example, Hecate.
Rank 10 on the Eternal Beauty List. Countless pedophiles in the world considered Hecate the highest goal in their hearts. Even some people with normal interests, when seeing her, were immediately captivated by her charm and couldn't break free.
However, now someone told them Hecate was a Crimson Lord that devoured humans. How could this not make them feel very disappointed and shattered.
Except for a handful of people still obsessed with Hecate, the rest felt trembling in their hearts, leaving only deep instinctual fear toward Crimson Denizens.
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Located at Bal Masqué.
Hecate, who was praying, appeared unaffected by the Dimensional List's appearance or humans' humble disappointment. The emptiness in her eyes remained unchanged.
However, when Hecate glanced at the Divine Artifact List with her blue eyes, her eyes showed slight ripples. Her small mouth slightly opened, and a small glowing gear appeared in her palm.
"Why him, why is it with him?"
"Alastor..."
There was no one in the empty temple who answered her. The emotionless voice echoed.

"Treasure Tool among Treasure Tools. Wasn't Midnight Lost Child created by the Promised Pair of Lovers? To make Johan, the Torch, exist forever. How could the creator be this Kanzaki Hikaru!!!"
"If the owner, I could still understand, but the creator..."
"A major event will occur..."
"An unexpected thing happened!"
"..."
If the announcement that Hecate was a Crimson Lord shocked ordinary humans, then Hikaru as creator and owner of Midnight Lost Child shocked all Crimson Denizens and Flame Hazes as well.
Especially those who had deep understanding of Midnight Lost Child.
All couldn't believe it.
Kanzaki Hikaru, Johan—Two people completely unrelated were now connected in an extraordinary way.
However, a bigger mystery also followed. Hikaru was only less than twenty years old. Meanwhile, the Promised Pair of Lovers Johan and Pheles were still active in this world hundreds of years ago.
The timing didn't match at all!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
In a modern city in Northern Europe.
"This is the Treasure Tool Johan and I created together. Why did it become his?!"
Crimson Lord Pheles, wide-eyed with her green eyes, stared at the three words 'Kanzaki Hikaru' on the Divine Artifact List with disbelief and anger.
"...Tokyo, huh."
Pheles immediately spread Unrestricted Spells. Yellow sand flew through the sky, wanting to go to that Far East country to find this 'thief' and investigate the cause and effect.
Why did the Midnight Lost Child she and Johan created become someone else's possession.
This was the only clue to find Johan again.
There absolutely must not be any problems!
"Wait a moment, Pheles!"
Before Pheles could leave, a melodious voice was heard. At the same time, a light purple Absolute Seal directly opened. The color of heaven and earth became monochrome, and time also stopped.
"Spiral Organ Leanan-sidhe, you want to stop me."
Pheles stared dissatisfied at the girl who appeared before her eyes, like a fairy, holding a drawing board.
She was Leanan-sidhe, the most genius Unrestricted Spells master in the Crimson Realm.
