Chapter 102 — Shifting Hearts
Noah reappeared at the shattered temple — only now, it was completely destroyed. Nothing remained but broken stones scattered across the ground, the devastation absolute. Even Echidna's avatar had been wiped out.
And in the middle of that ruin, a figure stood silently — calm, composed, indifferent.
The Crow.

"Lucie, right?" he said softly.
The Crow — Lucie — flinched. It had been a long time since someone had spoken her name.
And more importantly, she could feel it — her master's authority surrounding Noah.
He was now the champion.
Relief washed over her. She reached up and removed her mask, revealing her beautiful face — golden and red eyes glowing with stunning intensity.
"Yes, it's me. Now that you're my master's champion, I'm at your service," she said, bowing slightly.
Not to Noah, the man — but to Noah, the champion.
