Leaving behind only darkness, and an unbearable emptiness within Frey Starlight's broken body.
The temple was thrown into complete chaos after the recent catastrophe, while efforts were made to cover up the incident as much as possible after the entire capital witnessed the enormous aura pillar that shattered the very sky itself.

Ivar Valerion, dressed in his formal suit, moved with a contingent of soldiers toward a deep point within the temple.
After passing through many guards, Ivar began descending a long staircase leading to the underground floors.
Deeper and deeper he went, down into the temple's hidden layers beneath the earth.
Finally, he reached the lowest and deepest point.
There, in a massive underground hall, dozens of personnel were scattered about, busy operating all kinds of arcane machinery.
