Even so, having Aiwass with him was almost like carrying an Eternal Pope at his side.
With the Night Fiend in hand, Aiwass immediately felt assured.
—Now, even if Star Antimony were to truly wage war against Avalon, he was no longer afraid at all!
Now that Ligeia was still alive, and with the Night Fiend... the Armed Gargoyles and the Rune Colossus that Aiwass had once feared were no longer insurmountable enemies.
"Brother."
Just as Aiwass was playing with the Night Raven, Yulia suddenly spoke up from the side.
Her gaze, for some reason, had become sharp.
Yulia looked at Aiwass and said earnestly, "Can the ceremony that gave Lily strength... be used on me?"
Aiwass looked at Yulia with some surprise.
In his memory, Yulia had never cared for Transcendent powers. Her interest in those things was even less than in mountains and rivers, equations and theorems, gears and joints, reagents and bottles.
