Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 3164

Nyx reacted even more strongly, and her face instantly drained of color, turning deathly pale. In front of this woman, even just one glance made Nyx feel as if her very soul was freezing over.

"Arya Fleury, at your service!"

The moment the woman's eyes opened, Arya, clad in full black armor and wielding a black greatsword, turned and knelt.

The blood-hued woman seemed to smile faintly, yet she said nothing. Instead, she kept her gaze fixed on Andrew and Nyx, or more precisely, on Andrew himself.

Finally, she spoke softly, her voice piercing directly into Andrew's mind. "If I'm not mistaken, you are a descendant of Holtrien's Valerius Lloyd, are you not? Return to Holtrien. Inform the Divine Dragon Order, along with Holtrien's eight hidden ancient sects, that the Blood Queen has awakened. A new cycle of the Ancient War is upon us, and I will personally settle a millennium of grudges."

As her words faded, she and Arya vanished into a surge of crimson light before Andrew could even respond.

The two figures shot skyward, and the radiant column dissipated.

Andrew snapped his head up and shouted furiously, "Who are you?"

However, there was no reply, as if she deemed him unworthy or simply chose to ignore him.

Only Arya, now changed, glanced down at Andrew one last time before disappearing. Her gaze was cold, utterly devoid of emotion, and her once-golden eyes had deepened into a dark crimson.

Andrew's heart sank as he realized the truth: Arya, the sacred Cathedral Archangel and Battle Angel, had fallen.
