A few minutes earlier.
Lucivar halted his steps as a figure manifested from light.
It appeared right before the entrance, blocking his way toward the staircase.
Even before the figure fully formed, he already knew who it was.
But Lucivar didn't deny her immediately, he decided to stay and listen to what she had to say.
He had a gut feeling that he'd never see her again after confronting Master Tobias.
Unlike the last time he met with her in that void, there will be no hesitation this time—he'd make sure to follow through in killing her and letting go of Delilah. In order to survive the next ordeal waiting for him, a battle against the remaining avatars, he needs to get stronger as fast as possible.
Initially, he was thinking of hunting them one by one and getting stronger that way.
Compared to letting go of Delilah, that method was a lot better and easier to swallow.
But now, Lucivar understood that it was pure idealism.
