"Mn…" Groaning softly, Shiro opened her eyes but saw nothing.

'Ah right, I'm blind now…' She sighed in her mind.

Activating the cameras, she wrapped her body with wire once more before sitting up.

Realising that she was back in her own room, Shiro looked to her side and saw Lisandra sitting there with a difficult face. However, despite that, her wings seemed to have lost the darkness that was creeping around the edges last time she saw it.

'Seems like she's doing good.' Shiro smiled as she stood up with difficulty. Just as she walked to the door, she was surprised to see Lyrica coming here with Aarim and Silvia following behind her with anxious faces.

"Shiro!" Lyrica called out in surprise since she didn't expect Shiro to wake up so soon.

"Sup. Why are you three in a rush?" Shiro asked curiously as Lyrica paused for a moment in confusion.

"Have you seen Lisandra?" Lyrica asked with surprise.

"Yes I have. She's doing find no? The darkness around her wings has disappeared." Shiro tilted her head.

Hearing this, Lyrica frowned and looked at the other two.

"Let's talk in your room."

"Sure? Come on in." Shiro raised her eyebrow but took a step back, letting them enter.

"Goodness!" Silvia cried out in shock seeing the state of Lisandra while Shiro was confused at what they were seeing.

{Do you think they're seeing something that your camera couldn't pick up?} Nimue asked.

'Possibly. I was hoping to hide this for a little longer before asking for some help.' Shiro smiled softly.

"Shiro, what do you mean Lisandra is doing fine. Her wings are being dyed black." Aarim frowned while crouching near Lisandra.

"They are?" Shiro glanced over at the area that Aarim was looking at and saw normal white feathers on the wings.

"Shiro can I have a look at your eyes?" Silvia asked as Shiro paused and nodded her head.

"Sure." Shiro smiled as she sat on the bed.

Walking up to Shiro, Silvia realised that Shiro was wearing contacts.

"When did you start wearing contacts?" She asked curiously.

"Today." Shiro replied.

"Any reason for using contacts?"

"Help me see a little better." Shiro chuckled.

"Is your vision impaired?" Silvia asked in surprise since Shiro could have just healed it up.

"Just a little." Taking off her contacts, Shiro sighed as she looked towards where she guessed the three were.

"After the last battle, I may or may not have lost my sense of vision and touch." Shiro smiled softly as the three tensed up in shock.

Especially Lyrica since she was out with Shiro and didn't notice anything wrong.

"You what?!" Silvia widened her eyes.

Moving her hand in front of Shiro and seeing no reaction, she didn't know what to say.

"It was a battle against the Ghost Queen's subordinate who was also tier 6. She was very good at using powers against the soul so it was a difficult fight and during the fight, I had something similar to a curse affect me. One that would kill me if the conditions are met. She took away my sense of sight and touch. Had she taken taste, hearing and smell, my life would be forfeit. I managed to kill her in the end so I'm safe now. I'm not sure how long this kind of impairment will last since I have tried to heal myself but even though my eyes were regenerated, the sense is still gone. Even now, I'm controlling my body using wires since I can't feel a single thing around me. If I stand up without the wires, I wouldn't know if I was falling or not." Shiro explained while rolling up her sleeves.

Seeing the rows of wires along her arm, Silvia opened her mouth several times but nothing came out.

"These contact lenses act as prosthetics for now since they send the image to my mine. I can see like usual but it seems like there are things the camera can't pick up. How bad is Lisandra's situation right now?" Shiro asked.

"Not good. The darkness has reached around 30% of her wings right now and it seems like the speed is increasing." Aarim shook her head with a frown.

"Mn… that's not too good. Is there anything out of place? Like any runes or signs of interference?" Shiro asked.

Since she can't see anything, she can only ask them about what they see.

"There's a small mark on her back. But its a quite small and it's a golden rune. I'm guessing you're the one who put it there." Aarim said as Shiro paused.

"Eh? There's a golden rune? I don't remember doing anything of the sort. Can you draw it and show me what it looks like?" Shiro asked with a frown.

Nodding her head, Aarim started to draw the rune while Lyrica walked up to Shiro.

"Shiro, if you're injured tell us. If I didn't come to your room, we wouldn't even know Lisandra's condition especially now that you've lost your sight and touch." Lyrica sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to worry everyone since it's quite shocking for me as well. Unfortunately, these prosthetics can't see the system so I don't know what's happening either. If there is a notification, you girls will have to tell me about it." Shiro chuckled as Lyrica nodded her head.

"Done, this is the rune on her back." Aarim walked over and showed her the drawing.

The moment Shiro saw the rune, she knew what it was.

"Rather than a rune, it's more of a crest. You remember how I came from Aria right? This is the crest of the light goddess. I told you that Lisandra was supposed to be the body for the light goddess right? I'm guessing that now the new age has arrived, she's not too happy about Lisandra becoming tier 6. But this is fine, I know what to do about this." Shiro smiled.

Walking over to Lisandra, she kneeled down behind her. Raising her finger, a golden aura wrapped around it as she glanced at Aarim.

"I'll need your help for this. Point out where the crest is. I'm going to override it with my own." Shiro smiled.

Nodding her head, Aarim traced a rough outline before placing it on Lisandra's back.

Remembering this spot, Shiro removed the outline and started to draw her crest using her own divine energy.

The moment she finished drawing the crest, the other three in the room could see a stream of golden energy branch out from the new crest.

Seemingly 'purifying' some of the darkness that was encroaching on her wings, Lisandra's expression eased up.

Just as this happened, Shiro noticed that her camera had stopped working and her wires disappeared.

"To think it was actually you who got rid of the crest. It has been a while." A feminine voice rang out.

"I didn't expect to hear such an irritating voice today. How is it going Aria?" Shiro chuckled as the one who was talking was the Light Goddess Aria. Her previous world was named after its main goddess and this was the same goddess who had caused Aekari to become who he is today.

"It's going rather well for me. I'll be honest, I didn't expect for you to lose your sight along with your sense of touch. Your figure is rather pitiful right now." Aria chuckled.

"Well at least I don't have to look at you thanks to my lack of sight. Honestly I might even call it a boon right now." Shiro laughed.

"So hostile even thought I was the one who had Aekari help you from the labs."

"But you're also the one who got him to kill me no? Regardless, I believe you're not here to talk." Shiro stopped smiling.

"Indeed. I did hope that you'd find the crest when you returned but you just had to lose your sight. Well the reason I called for you today is to inform you about something good that will appear in the world soon." Aria smiled.

"And you're telling that to me, your enemy?" Shiro raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed. It is necessary for everything after all. Towards the North, between the twin peaks of Frost Giant's Pass, a Rainbow Grade Relic will descend to this world." Aria smiled.

Before Shiro could even ask her about anything else, she realised that she was back in her own room.

"Shiro?" Lyrica called out as Shiro paused for a long time without moving.

"Mn? Oh how is it? Has the darkness been dispelled?" Shiro asked as she couldn't see what was happening on Lisandra's wings.

"Yes it has. Everything's back to normal and it seems like she's just sleeping no-"

Before Lyrica could finish what she was saying, a tier 6 magic circle appeared around Lisandra as a liquid started to cover her body. Much like what happened with Madison, a crystal solidified around her but this only lasted for a moment before shattering apart.

Feeling the aura around Lisandra shoot into the realm of tier 6, they knew that her ascension was successful.
