The next day, Freya opened her eyes.
Feeling the warmth from Enzo's chest, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Quickly, she sat up, glanced at Enzo still asleep, and then walked out of the cave to fetch water and food.
Because of this, when Enzo woke up, he didn't see Freya.
However, he could hear noises from the cave entrance.
Using one hand for support, he leaned against the cave wall and managed to sit up.
It was then that he sensed something unusual.
The totem that had only reformed yesterday seemed to have grown significantly larger.
Enzo immediately used his mental power to investigate and instantly noticed the strange change in the totem.
The concentrated life tree leaves from yesterday now had only the veins remaining, and the entire structure had turned black, emitting a malevolent aura that instilled fear in him.
"That aura is..."
Enzo widened his eyes and muttered uncertainly, "Energy-devouring Worm!"
