Meanwhile, Michael, who had been alone in a room, preparing himself to journey into the Valley of Souls; stepped out and said to Mercy, "Mercy, all the preparations are complete, and the moment is drawing near when I will have to go there, into the Valley of Souls, with the help of that ritual. But you will have to stay here and protect this body of mine, because as long as I remain in the Valley of Souls, my body here will be without a soul. In such a state, the wandering spirits on Earth will surely try to take control of my body, and you must prevent that from happening."
But Lily, who had fallen in love with Michael at first sight, was staring at him without blinking, and upon hearing his words, she suddenly said, "Don't worry, Michael. I will also help Mercy fully in protecting your body."
