@deathtofaith "As. . . .ending everything at once. .?"

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

He noted Alloces was arriving, noticing her new spring dress. The hybrid knew she wore it for this occasion.

He gave a small wave, hoping she would notice his presence. He wasn't the only one anticipating this date from the looks of it.

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"Hm..."

The woman he expected has arrived, in her new spring dress as she looks around, trying to find him.

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

》his heat was suppressed. Although replaced by the temperature outside. Alas, he still had to wake up since he had the night shift this week.

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"Hot. . . ."

Sweating profusely whilst he wasn't expecting the abnormally warm temperatures this week.

Since he's partially an ice dragon. He disliked the warmer climates. And since spring arrived. Some traits he possessed during the winter had already subsided.

At least》

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

》nervous about their first date for so long. He hoped it would bode well.

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

@spindleofhearts

With winter nearing its end. The usual traits the hybrid inherited would inevitably recede. But that isn't the reason for why he thought about.

Rather, with spring arriving, Alloces would have a different appearance with her hair color due to her unique》

》best outfit. Combing his hair and even using a bit of cologne which had an earthy and floral scent.

After reading some of the contents. He closed the book before placing it inside the dimensional pocket.

Erich stood at a nearby Cafe. Waiting for her arrival. He felt》

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

》instincts sensed otherwise. Even though he trusts Alloces. Even though he knew how strong Aster was.

His instincts was screaming something was going to happen. As though just defeating the enemy wouldn't suffice.

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"A safety measure in case one tried to covet her arts."

If the enemy was filled with greed. They would try to use it. Yet upon activating those incantations. It would instead seal the enemy and their abilities.

For combatants who rely on it. It's a death sentence. Yet, his》

- will render the other's abilities locked."

She locks at the hybrid with a smile that reaches her ears, one that tells him to trust the process.

"Consider it a poisoned chalice."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"Tch. . . .do you know what they are?!

Tell me, is there anything significant that stands out?!"

If Eiri wouldn't last in her current state. Then something was wrong. She wouldn't be struggling unless the enemies were. . .

No. It couldn't be. . .not this soon.

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"They're attacking my daughter... Eiri will not last long against them at her current strength."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"Any glimpse of the assailants. . .or something else within that dream that you saw?"

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"I don't know... Unfortunately.."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"A soul who passed on.

Can you think of someone related to Aster. Someone else close to her?"

Now that he thought about it. There was someone else related to Aster. But that one he didn't sense for some time.

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"I see my daughter.. Fighting someone yet protecting a dead soul."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"Tell me. What did you see in that dream?"

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"I had a strange dream last night..."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"Yes dear. . . ?"

He turned to view her. Noting her hair was now white. Signifying the season of winter.

He wondered what she wanted from the hybrid?

[𝐿𝑖𝜂𝑔𝜀𝛾𝑖𝜂𝑔 𝐹𝛼𝜏𝜀 (Hiatus) @spindleofhearts]

"My love..?"

She calls out to him, her hair now as white as the snow that covers the front in the winter.

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"I should resume with work. They won't be sending more for a while.

Asterlayna can hold her own. Just making sure Alloces is safe is what matters."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

》persistence despite being a shadow of their prime.

"To think they still possess enough manpower to deploy several of these units.

I pray I won't have to follow that thread once more."

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

"They've made their move."

The hybrid observed the corpses that littered the streets. Zaugrund members that tried to assassinate him.

Yet, even though he is in a sealed state. These artificial demons alone won't suffice against him. However, that isn't the reason for his》

[Erich @OriginemHybrid]

》concern.

"Our sin has caught up finally."

He sensed they were targeted those closest to him. And from one of the Zaugrund he killed. He found traces of Asterlayna's scent.

Yet. . .if he leaves, Alloces will be in danger. He knew how dangerous the remnants were. And their》
