Chapter 63: The Next Upgrade [Bonus Chapter]

Sylvana strode through the bustling streets of the capital. As she passed, people paused, their conversations halting as their gazes shifted toward her. Some whispered, others moved aside, creating a noticeable gap around her.

A vendor spoke to his companion, "That's the one who caused a scene earlier, isn't it? The one who rode on that monster?"

Another whispered, "She's terrifying. Did you see the size of that beast? The moment I saw it, my life flashed before my eyes!"

A mother hurriedly pulled her child closer, her voice trembling, "S-Stay close to me, don't go near her."

Sylvana caught sight of the mother shielding her child and paused, her green eyes softening as a fleeting look of sorrow crossed her face.

She then mumbled to herself, her voice barely audible, "The emperor was right… If I'd brought Tebltan here, it would've caused outright panic."

She exhaled deeply, her gaze trailing to the cobblestones beneath her feet. Memories of her people flashed through her mind—desperate faces, tears streaming, and cries of despair as their home burned under the invasion.

Her hand clenched at her side. "Never again," she whispered.

"I'll never let anyone wear that expression again."

Suddenly, a voice called out from above. "You there! Brown-skinned mage!"

Sylvana's head snapped upward. Hovering above the street was a man with fiery orange hair and piercing green eyes, dressed in emerald-green robes embroidered with golden runes. He descended slowly, carried by wind magic, until his boots touched the ground before her. The air stilled as the crowd watched in silence.

The man straightened, his intense gaze locking onto hers. "You are the one who left earlier with a silver wolf, I believe?"
