"Lilith."
Lilith? Will? God? Authority?
Defender questioned himself. But now wasn't the time to dwell on it
What mattered was the figure hovering above them—the one who called herself Lilith.
"I will ask again," Lilith declared, slightly leveling herself just above the ground, "Who holds the Authority?"
Her crimson gaze swept over the students, piercing into their souls. Their bodies trembled under her gaze, some even lost their footing and fell backward.
"No one?"
This time, her presence grew heavier. The dense, suffocating aura pressing down on them doubled in intensity.
They all fell to their knees.
"Ugh!"
Even Defender, who had stood his ground so many times before—was powerless before her.
"Ugh!" He growled, forcing himself to stay upright by gripping his sword.
Who… is… she?!
He tried to recall, but he got no luck, all those book he had once studied never mentioned a being as fearsome as her.
