Farosa de Aquilia stared blankly at Mond's corpse, sensing that something was amiss. Xu Yang had disappeared without a trace at some point, and the silence of Nangong Island was terrifying. She paced in place, swinging the Godslayer Weapon about, but it was all in vain.
Tension and fear followed her like a shadow, and the most dreadful mental manipulation eventually took hold of her—a form of control that was extremely difficult for a witch to contend with.
Xu Yang had abandoned her! The terrifying reality struck Farosa with great fear. Without Xu Yang, what was she to do on her own? Run around, fend for herself, alone walking to the very opposite side of the world? Yet she held onto a sliver of hope, expecting Xu Yang to appear by her side at any moment.
"It's alright now," Xu Yang tried to pat her shoulder, but Farosa remained bewildered and oblivious, lost in confusion. He looked towards Mond, "If you can't break the illusion, I'll have to take her away."
