Lisa had tried really hard this time, and she could no longer contain it.
Tears welled in her eyes as she clung to him.
"I did it, Vale! I'm not just a Vampire Descendant anymore. I'm now the owner of the Dark Arts Tower!"
Odessa stood nearby, stunned. She had expected Lisa to emerge changed, perhaps stronger, but not like this, not with such raw emotion.
She couldn't help but smile after seeing her like this. She was indeed still young, and she hoped that Vale would accept her feelings…
Well, Lisa didn't even acknowledge her presence, but Odessa didn't care. All that mattered was Vale's response to this.
Then, Odessa watched as the avatar remained still with his expression almost unreadable, but his aura pulsed faintly in response to her embrace.
It was not warmth, nor rejection, but simply acknowledgment.
Lisa noticed this as well and smiled through her tears…
