Alice groggily blinked her eyes. Her head hurt as a constant ringing sound filled her ears.
She could feel the heat against her face, the smell of burnt cinder.
There was also a slight tingling sensation to her skin but didn't pay much attention to it.
This awakening was different to the usual awakening she felt every time she exited a nightmare.
This one felt... Different.
Dangerous even.
*BANG!!!
With no chance to observe her surroundings, Alice instinctively created a blood barrier to block a ball of fire hurling towards her.
Yet the moment the two attacks came into contact, the barrier started to distort.
"???" A bewildered expression appeared on Alice's face as she quickly jumped away to safety.
Sliding across the dirt ground, she snapped her head towards the sky. Countless radiant feathers rained down while a flaming silhouette could be seen destroying tendrils of dark energy.
