While the couple wallowed in grief, Lilith stepped out of the shadow at once.
Her striking black dress with subtle rose patterns instantly drew the couple's attention. Seeing her veiled figure, they instinctively became alert.
"Who are you?" Patriarch Dalian roared, his figure erupting like volcanic fire, sensing the immense, unknown threat.
Lilith extended her hand toward the duo. Instantly, dark tendrils moved, entering their minds and bypassing all physical and spiritual defenses. Dalian's erupting fire was extinguished before it could even reach Lilith. His powerful will was instantly subjugated.
Only then did Vahn come out of his hiding, watching Lilith's back with evident admiration.
"Wow! Lilith! You're domineering as ever!"
Lilith snorted in response, a sound that held neither amusement nor anger. "Don't speak nonsense. We need to finish this quick."
