WIXX was surprised when the glass where Lady Nystrom was started to crack, then the ground shook hard.

"My lord, the lady is angry," Sentinel said, fear evident in his voice. "I can feel it in my bones."

"I know," Wixx said. "She must have seen something in her past that made her upset."

Whenever Soleil was seriously angry in the past, she would always make the ground shake as if the earth itself was afraid of her wrath.

He didn't have his physical body right now so he wasn't sure if he could stop Lady Nystrom's anger. But he hoped his remaining power was enough. To be honest, unsealing a small portion of her old memories had almost depleted his energy.

But before my consciousness disappears, I have to make sure that she's safe first.

His thoughts were cut-off when the glass box completely shattered. He was about to jump and catch Lady Nystrom but abruptly stopped when he realized he didn't have to.

Lady Nystrom remained floating in the air, her body suddenly engulfed in black flame.

And just like Soleil in the past, Lady Nystrom's hair also started to turn darker. After all, the angrier the Supreme was, the darker her hair turned into. Once her hair colored turned completely jet-black, the temple and the other buildings around would definitely crumble.

"Sentinel, get ready," Wixx told his servant seriously. "We have to stop Lady Nystrom!"

LUNA was surprised when the ground started to shook hard. Worse, she also felt a strong and menacing aura that she had never felt before. For the first time after many decade, she felt fear again. What is this feeling?

"Is it just the ground or is it me shaking from fear of that menacing aura in the air?" Captain Sherwood asked. He was still kneeling on the floor but this time, his body was uncontrollably shaking. "This is the first time I felt this kind of threat."

The captain is right.

That was also when Luna realized that her body was also shaking nonstop.

"I need to go," Lisa declared in an eerily calm manner. Unlike her and Captain Sherwood, the duke wasn't shaking. When he turned to her, she noticed that he had a blank look on his face as if he wasn't really himself. "The heart is summoning me."

"The heart?"

Lisa had never referred to Lady Nystrom as the "heart."

Luna gasped when she realized what was happening. Duke Nystrom is starting to awaken as the Black Serpent!

Taeyeon just went in his palace when he suddenly felt his strength abandoning him.

The next thing he knew, he was already on his knees while his whole body was shaking uncontrollably. His heart was also beating loud and fast against his ċhėst. He didn't want to admit this but this was the first time he felt fear again after a long while.

"Call the royal doctor and the Healing Mage!" Sir Gregory yelled at the servants of his palace that were panicking when he suddenly fell on the floor. Then, the knight got down on one knee to check on him. "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

To be honest, he was very embarrassed at the moment because he fell on his knees.

But that was the least worrisome thing in his mind.
