"I'm okay, goddess Aerialia. I don't think I'm in any danger," Crystalia replied, her eyes locked onto Aerialia's, conveying relief and respect.
"Do you feel any unusual change in the Divine Apostle Crest?" Aerialia asked, her gaze flickering toward the mark on Crystalia's neck.
"Yes, I can sense a change in the Divine Apostle Crest that wasn't there before. But I can't control it or even understand what it is," Crystalia replied, her voice tinged with frustration.
She knew that whatever had happened to her was serious, and her inability to provide useful information only deepened her sense of defeat.
Aerialia nodded. "Can you try to activate one of the skills you've inherited from the crest? Let us see if there's any change."
Crystalia hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "I'll give it a try." She closed her eyes, taking a deep breath before exhaling slowly.
