The sounds of the battle between Kaito and Alex continue to echo through Crimson Castle, as the two vampires continue to train the newcomer.
At the same time, Yulia, who has been listening to these sounds since before she entered the main building, appears at the end of the main hall, accompanied by Meliora. Her expression is marked by fatigue and her clothes are visibly torn at the abdomen and back.
The fight stops immediately when she appears in the sight of both vampires, and Kaito immediately lowers his sword.
"Yulia, are you all right? What happened?" Kaito asks.
Yulia sighs, looking at Meliora. "We had a bit of a problem back in the Lower Isles. I didn't anticipate that the Sacred Tree was a living creature and when it was revitalized, it tried to attack me for being a stranger. But don't worry, we'll deal with them."
Meliora nods with a semblance of guilt. "I'm sorry, it was totally my fault. I should have warned you about that."
