Ashes drifted down from the sky like snowflakes.

Standing amidst the charred leaves, Shen Yi slowly stepped forward and walked a few hundred meters.

Soon, the summoner came in front of his sight.

It was indeed Aina.

Kneeling among the charred leaves, she constantly muttered the honorable name of the Lord of Ashes.

　　 “Infinite disasters, the source of disasters”

　　“The aversion of the White Mist”

　　“The Lord of Ashes who annihilated the Stars”

　　”I call you”

　　”I call you”

　　”I call you”

Eventually, he walked up to her, but she had no reaction at all. Still kneeling on the ground, neither raising her head nor stopping her calling.

Having had no reaction yet, he stared at her.

Long silver hair, red eyes, wearing a delicate velvet black gown, she didn’t seem like the exquisite looks a human should have. The combination yielded an air of strange, mysterious force of attraction.

As if that she was really a witch in legend.

The first summon was still vivid in his mind at the time the summoner called her ‘the witch of blood and flesh’. It was reasonable to assume that mysticism had some sort of meaning, or some sort of symbol.

She might be the descendants of a witch, or she might have been mistakenly thought to represent one by the High Priestess of the Chaos Remnants Order, as she looked similar to her.

Seeing that the only caller didn’t have any reaction, he continued to look at her, and suddenly noticed something. 

He’d known her for quite a while. It’s been almost half a year yet she didn’t seem to grow taller at all, not only her height, but everything about her appeared to be unchanged.

She might be the type to grow slowly, since she should be much taller in two years, one might think that kids were suddenly growing.

As he was pondering in his thoughts, Aina, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly became excited.

“Great Lord of Ashes, you are finally willing to listen to my thoughts. I feel your gaze.”

For a moment, Shen Yi looked stunned, but he wasn’t startled, he was just puzzled.

Only now did he come to realization. It’s been a while since he came here, but now only she realized his presence was it because of the dream state, which caused a long delay in consciousness?

He also found one more thing – Aina felt the existence of the “Lord of Ashes”, but her burgundy eyes didn’t look at him at all, but looked ahead in a daze.

She didn’t look like a person who had woken up from a sleep at all, it really seemed like she was sleepwalking.

Probably it was me who was abnormal in this place, since it was originally a dream world.

“Can’t you see me?”

Falling into deep thought, he suddenly had a speculation that perhaps, the things he could see and perceive were actually very different from the things Aina could see and perceive now.

But she perceived himself as the Lord of Ashes, so it was time for him to play the respective role.

After composing his mind, he opened his mouth.

“What do you want?”

About a minute or two, Aina suddenly froze in her spot and her body trembled slightly, as if she had heard something terrible.

‘There should be a delay in transmission’, he thought so in his mind, and she really couldn’t find where his body was.

Aina gradually calmed down and answered to the “air”: “Great Lord of Ashes, I’m here to ask for your help, to ask you to tell me about the Hidden Eyes.”

Her expression couldn’t be any more serious. By this he was sure something very important had happened, that’s why she couldn’t wait to come to the dream world, to contact the Lord of Ashes outside the world.

In the occult’s knowledge, the Dream Realm was a special channel to communicate between the present world and the world beyond, which was said to be controlled by nightmares whose eternity was ruled by the king of dreams.

Rather than asking the question, he waited for her to finish.

Aina continued, “According to the Order’s investigation, we have ample evidence to believe that the mysterious association of the Hidden Eyes appears to be a desire to summon an extraterrestrial god in Beland.”

Shen Yi: “……”

It turns out that he thought it was a big deal, didn’t they just want to summon an extra-worldly?

Well, well, it’s actually something big, mmm very big deal.

“These people seem to have had some sort of accident in their efforts to build up the ’cause of necessity’,” she continues. “A lot of them have gone into a frenzy and started killing people in the Inner World irregularly, but they are indifferent to people in the outer world.”

After a moment of pause she added: “The members of the order were also almost attacked.”

The so-called “necessary cause” refers to the preparations before the invisible art begins. A kind of occult terminology, which Shen Yi could understand now.

He had a distinct feeling that over the past few months, Aina seemed to have become more in line with the standards of an inner world person.

She continued: “Great Lord of Ashes, I would like to know how the Order should deal with the future, should we take the initiative to fight against the Hidden Eyes?”

The Order was uncertain about the new mysterious organization that had appeared in Beland, so they asked Aina to ask the “Lord of Ashes” what she thought through the Invisible Technique.

‘In fact, this is so-called fortune-telling, right?’

It belongs to the main profession of the priesthood.

‘Aina, or the Order of Chaos Remnant, are asking the ‘Lord of Ashes’ opinion, …… But it just so happens that the Lord of Ashes was replaced by me, so who can I ask for?’

This question caused him to delve deeply into his thoughts as he contemplated what answer to give.

In fact, he almost knew nothing about the Hidden Eyes.

All he knew was that this group of people appeared out of nowhere, and then started recording various events, recording, recording, and suddenly they went crazy and started to engage in differentiated massacres.

Speaking of which, the reason why the Hidden Eyes “records the events in the inner world”…was to collect the “necessary cause”, to prepare materials for summoning the extra-worldly god…in his vague memory, there seemed to be an Extraterrestrial god who likes to prey on history and devour the past.

While he was pondering, Aina remained kneeling on the ground, waiting for the Lord Of Ashes’ answer.

But Shen Yi himself had no answer at all, and this time he couldn’t vaguely answer something like he did before.

So after a long time, he opened his mouth and said, “Let time pass, and fate will naturally give the promised answer.”

A few minutes later, Aina seemed to have heard the answer given by the “Lord of Ashes” and nodded slightly in confusion.

‘So, just wait? Why is this answer? No, the wisdom of an extraterrestrial God is not something I can speculate. . . just follow it.’

She didn’t dare to ask any further questions, instead she threw herself on the ground and worshiped. Soon her compact figure quickly disappeared in the pale forest covered with ashes.

“Is this some sort of offline?” Shen Yi said to himself.

At this moment, the surrounding scenery began to change drastically, and everything became blurred, as if it was about to shatter, and finally it really ushered in a complete collapse.
