...
Florecia detected a foul stench, pervasive in all directions.
It originated from the same source as something in the sea.
She had tangled with this smell for thousands of years, and could smell it from hundreds of kilometers away.
Red Dragon growled unhappily towards the sky.
She wanted to burn these things to ashes.
At that moment, she noticed Luo Xi, trembling on the ground.
"Child... what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, various elements that signified life on Luo Xi returned to the void.
His body dissipated rapidly in a way Florecia couldn't comprehend.
"No! Don't!"
Florecia reverted to the form of the Dragon Horn girl, trying to grasp whatever was leaving Luo Xi's body, but in the end, she only caught a handful of shattered light spots.
"Who is it? Who has taken my child... Huh?!"
Before Florecia's anger could erupt, she sensed a blood-linked strength calling out to her from a great distance, as if across the entire Confused Mountain Range.
