Smoke swirls through the air, and from its depths looms the massive Mirror Demon with wings unfurling from its back.
Finally dropped the human act and decided to face us yourself?
Boring...
As the group turns away, the demon strikes—a blur of motion from the haze—only for Lucia to descend timely from above, intercepting the attack with a flash of steel.
Commandant, I ran into Bridget outside the tower. She was bringing Lyca in, so I took over for her.
I have... half of the Mirror Demon's power within me.
Just as I thought.
We had our suspicions. She's no longer human. "Demon" would be a more fitting term for what she is now.
From what Bridget learned from Asimov, Lyca...
Lucia glances at Lyca, then decides to reveal the truth anyway.
Lyca died from a hereditary disease several years ago, just like her mother...
I exist because of my dad's obsession. Without my help, you won't be able to defeat the Mirror Demon.
...
What about you?
What will happen to you if we accept your "help"?
...
Possibly.
Yamato holds the power to sever man from demon. I will attempt it.
