"Someone?" Leonora asked.
"Jack," Nyx answered.
Her words confused Leonora. From everything Nyx said, she seemed to have come to the Underworld before her.
How did she know Neo and Jack?
Despite everything, Leonora did not ask the question. She felt like the answer would be long and tiring.
"How do you know them?" Paw asked, as it climbed on top of Leonora's head and hit her for being lazy everywhere.
"Shadow World Trial."
Nyx explained how Neo and Jack had come to the past, and whatever they had changed.
She told them Neo had timelooped multiple times in the past.
"How do you remember the pre-altered timelines?" Paw asked. "I thought time users could only remember surface details at best. What's your mastery in Time element?"
"She is not a Time element user," a man answered as he approached the group. "After she came to the Underworld and became a Grim Reaper disciple, she had time to create a spell that mimicked Time elementals to remember pre-altered timeloops.
"Though the spell is still faulty, and because of that only she can use it," he explained.
"You are…?" Leonora questioned.
The man did not answer her immediately and stared at her.
The silence was broken by Nyx's sigh.
"Stop trying to scare the child, old man. Her master won't like it if you do that."
"I don't care if that idiot doesn't like it," said Amon, a Grim Reaper.
Leonora frowned. "Take that back."
"Huh?" Amon looked at her in surprise.
"You can't insult my master."
A powerful aura exploded out from Leonora, and washed over the seating area.
Amon let out a grin when he sensed the power rolling off Leonora.
A giant whale began to materialize in the sky, and Paw's presence thickened.
"I said stop riling up the child!" Nyx smacked Amon in the head, and looked at Leonora apologetically. "Sorry about this. He just heard the rumors that you were the Blessed of Aqua, and wanted to try fighting you – he has some screws loose."
Leonora blinked, caught off by her actions.
"Blessed…?"

??? (Neo's Cosmos)
The Firmaments, Obitus, Velkaria, and Yaleth were present inside an open pavilion built on top of a mountain peak.
The area was covered in mist and faint sunlight (from World Core) permeated the area, making the surroundings look ethereal.
However, the mood of the people in the area was at an all-time low.
"Argh! Why does that idiot always do things like this!? Why did he seal the Cosmos!" Velkaria shouted as she flew around. "Why is he always trying to fight alone!"
Death Sword Firmament, and Eyes of Echo Firmament were downcast.
Tyrant Firmament sat upright but her gaze was filled with complex emotions.
Obitus, in her spirit form, sat curled.
"He sealed all of us here because he didn't want us to get imprisoned too," Obitus mumbled.
She was on the verge of tears.
Neo had sent his memories inside the Cosmos but that was not all.
His Traits, Elemental Affinities, Concepts, techniques, Blessing. He ripped everything from his Core and Seed of Existence and sent it inside his Cosmos.
He had torn his soul and cut off the part connected to Obitus before teleporting her too.
Right now, he had nothing.
"I'm sorry. I will be careful from next time." freewёbnoνel.com
