"Dear God, please let Atherion remain unharmed, and may he prevail. If not, everyone here will perish," she murmured.
Theon, who was beside her, gently placed an arm around her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, my dear granddaughter. He is far superior to all of them. He will win."
She continued to fix her gaze on Atherion, now appearing as nothing more than a dot in the sky, fervently hoping that Theon's words would prove true.

She continued flying in line with the other Demon Lords, her gaze fixed intently on Camelia, who stood atop one side of the castle wall.
Atherion, upon realizing he was being targeted by the Demon Lords, simply raised one hand and unleashed a massive black energy sphere.
