Suddenly, as we were departing, Tear showed up out of nowhere! She wanted to come, but I had decided to leave her here so she could train her abilities and protect the village while we were gone.
She had actually a really high level, and was already an S Rank Ice Giant herself, even if mostly everything was done by the crown, she still earned EXP from all the… lives she took, so even without the crown, she was really strong by herself.
"Tear?! But I told you that you should stay here!" I told her from afar.
"No… I want to go too! I promised you that I would help you!" Tear said. "Please, Maria… Give me a chance!"
"Sigh…" I ended facepalming a bit. "Fine, come here. {Shadow Threads}!"
I expanded threads made of shadows and wrapped them around her body, dragging her towards us in a second.
"Uwaaah! Oh!" Tear panicked a bit but landed over Lucifer's back fine enough.
