Alter pauses as she recalls the moment when she first witnessed the true power of her teacher, Azraphael.
She gazes up at the red eternal-dusk sky, and a strong mixture of emotions appears in her eyes.
Pride.
Admiration.
Reverence.
And yet, above all…
A deep longing for her teacher.
The corners of her lips curve upward slightly.
Meanwhile—
"Holy sh…"
I gasp internally, still shocked by what I've just heard.
Alter then gives me back some control, allowing me to speak again while she retreats slightly into the background of my mind.
Nearby, even Eris wears an expression of deep shock.
"I'm already an S-Rank adventurer, the highest rank within the power-ranking system of this world…" Eris murmurs as she looks down at her trembling hand. "And yet, in the face of the power of Heaven that Alter just told us about, I'm really no stronger than a mere ant. This is so fucking terrifying…"
"Yeah…" I mutter, swallowing hard.
