Chapter 76 — New Forbidden Land

Ice.

That was all that remained just in front of entrance to the Forest of Darkness, where Noah and his team had once stood.

But not just any ice—This was Absolute Zero Ice.

An existence so cold it could freeze even an S-rank being solid.

For an SS-rank like Solaris, it shouldn’t have mattered.

But when the full concentrated force of such an attack hits head-on—

even an SS-rank feels it.

And Solaris had taken it directly.

Now, she stood in the frozen wasteland.

Her clothes were torn and stiff with frost.

Parts of her skin had frozen too, though the icy patches were gradually breaking away, revealing healing flesh underneath.

But Solaris didn’t care about her injuries.

Her eyes were wide, not from pain—

but from horror.

Because she could feel something fundamental within her—

diminished.

Her affinity for light. Once at SS-rank...

Now?

A-rank.

Solaris’s body shuddered violently. Her knees nearly buckled under the shock.

"W-What...? How is this possible?" she whispered, her voice cracking.

She couldn’t understand.

She refused to understand.

"Was it him? Noah Weaverheart? Did he—downgrade my affinity? But how?!"

Questions raced wildly in her mind, but no answers came.

And indeed, there were none.

There was no record, no history of someone being able to downgrade an affinity. Let alone doing it with sword energy.

Even though Solaris could sense that sword energy had pierced her being, she simply couldn’t connect it to her current reality.

If only she knew...

Noah hadn’t just wanted to downgrade her affinity.

He had tried to cut it off completely.

Fortunately—or unfortunately for Noah—an SS-rank being was no pushover.

And he was still only A-rank.

Solaris gathered herself, trying to regain her composure.

She looked around at the frozen wasteland.

She could feel it.

This land—this place would remain forever.

A forbidden zone where anyone below S-rank would die instantly.

Even an S-rank wouldn’t last long.

Solaris shivered.

She raised her head to the heavens and whispered:

"My dear goddess...is this the monster our Blessed One is destined to fight?"

"This Noah...is no longer a child."

She shook her head slowly.

"No child can create a forbidden land."

Solaris finally understood the scale of the threat Noah represented.

She had underestimated him—severely.

Even after receiving the Goddess’s direct blessings.

Juts because she was an SS rank being.

Today had been a brutal wake-up call.

If they continued to underestimate Noah,

then chaos and catastrophe would descend upon them.

Her eyes hardened.

Her light affinity had been downgraded.

But that wasn’t her only affinity.

And... she could still reclaim it.

There were still a few SS-rank Affinity Evolution Potions locked within the Church’s treasury.

Solaris clenched her fists.

"I can’t wait anymore," she muttered.

"I must take control of the human domain—rapidly."

Her eyes burned with cold fury.

The Castria Royal Family... must fall.

...

Meanwhile—

In the endless whiteness of the White Realm, Noah and his team materialized.

Elizabeth, having been here before, was unfazed.

But Eric and Yuki?

They stared around, awestruck, until their eyes fell upon—

Her.

A woman with white hair and matching white eyes.

Sitting calmly in the air, looking at them with a serene gaze.

Elira.

Even if they’d never met her in person,

the stories, the reputation—

everyone at the Academy knew of Elira.

"Uh... Noah?" Eric whispered nervously.

"Did we... make a mistake during teleportation?"

Yuki said nothing, but the terror in her posture was obvious.

Elizabeth smirked at her reaction.

"Really? Scared by this? And you had the guts to threaten me before? Tsk."

As Yuki opened her mouth to retort—

Elira’s voice echoed around them.

Calm. Cool. Unbothered.

"Has my realm become your personal gathering ground, dear disciple?" she asked, her eyes twinkling with amusement.

"If you needed a place, you could have just asked.
