The silence that followed served as enough proof that nothing happened, dashing Alex’s hopes of resolving the current situation by destroying the Silent Curtain.
Of course, He had very little chance of success considering the fact that if it were so easy to destroy a relic, the Great Families wouldn’t have wasted resources constructing structures to seal the items.
This ant that to deal with the Silent Curtain, it needed to be sealed.
It may have been easy to do so if Evernight Island was still available.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option, hence the reason he turned to the second option.
Figuring out Elena’s current location so she could use her ability to teleport the relic to another dinsion, one far away from Arwen’s clutches.
anwhile, within DreamWorld, Gregory could only watch as Arwen fought like a savage beast, ripping apart as many of his clones as she could before finally succumbing to exhaustion.
Pinned down and unable to move, she snarled like a beast, baring her fangs in rebellion.
"Arwen, you have to fight back. Don’t let her take control of you!" Gregory loudly said, hopeful that Arwen would hear his words.
The next mont, Arwen’s head dropped, bobbing like she was lifeless as her body stiffened causing Gregory to grow apprehensive.
Just as he rushed over, her body ca to life as she raised her head to regard Gregory.
"... Arwen?"
"... Who are you?"
Gregory choked as he stared blankly at Arwen who looked completely lost.
"Who are you and why did you bring here?" Arwen questioned, growing even more confident as she noticed Gregory’s confused state.
"It’s , Arwen." Gregory finally replied. "It’s Gregory, your father."
Arwen froze, her eyes slowly widening as she regarded Gregory with a stunned expression.
"I..."
"That’s a lie." Arwen suddenly said, cutting him off. "My dad is dead, sa with my mom."
"Arwen..."
"No!... Stop it!... You aren’t my dad!... I’m an orphan."
"Arwen, you aren’t an orphan, you..."
"I said stop it!" Arwen bellowed, struggling to control her emotions as she glared at Gregory, seemingly blaming him for bringing up mories she didn’t wish to recall.
Gregory’s lips quivered before he stepped back. "You are right, your parents are dead."
"... I know," Arwen muttered in a lancholic tone. "I had to kill them inside so I wouldn’t be hung up on them ever coming back for ."
"Smart."
"... Why did you bring here?" Arwen asked, deciding to change the conversation.
Gregory replied. "You don’t rember anything?"
"Well..." Trailing off, Arwen pursed her lips, attempting to recall her last mory.
"I recall eating dinner with the others."
"I see." Gregory nodded. "Are you aware that you’ve been corrupted?"
"... How do you know that?"
It almost seed like Gregory had touched on a sensitive subject judging from the wariness she exhibited.
"Your friends told . They are here to save you."
"Save ?" Arwen furrowed her brows in confusion.
Gregory nodded. "The corruption within you... it got worse."
"No... I thought I could fight it." Arwen said while shaking her head vigorously in denial.
"It’s fine, you did great," Gregory said. "Now that you’re back, I can help you."
"How?"
"... I don’t know."
"Then..."
"But we can find a way together," Gregory remarked before asking. "Can you trust ?"
Arwen stared at him as seconds passed before finally nodding. "Mn."
"I’ll take you to see your friends now, so co with ."
Saying that the clones holding Arwen disappeared like a lie, sa with the city, only for a green fla tongue to appear the next mont.
Gregory imdiately tried to extinguish it only for the fla to explode, resulting in an inferno that sent him flying.
Arwen burst into sadistic laughter as she got back on her feet. "You fool!... You thought I’d give up so easily?"
Gregory gritted his teeth as he struggled to get back on his feet. "Arwen..."
"Your Arwen is my puppet and I control her as I please. Give it up, Gregory. I own Arwen."
"You can’t escape."
Arwen snickered. "I don’t plan to."
In the next instant, several flas pillars erged about her while her form was engulfed by green flas, allowing her to transition from her human form to the sa one she’d utilized against Elena.
Gregory tried to counterattack only for both of them to be forcibly ejected from DreamWorld by Xistora.
Only then did Gregory understand why Arwen had been so showy.
Xistora, as lazy as she was, would never allow anyone to damage DreamWorld as it was the source of her powers.
So all Arwen needed to do was damage the dinsion enough for Xistora to eject her.
If it were any other Devil, they would be inclined to kill the perpetrator but for Xistora, she had no reason to bother so much.
In any case, the duo found themselves back in the hall containing the Silent Curtain with Alex standing between them.
"You..."
Before Alex could say anything, Arwen raised her left hand and the Silent Curtain appeared in her hand.
"No!" Gregory exclaid as he tried to attack only for Arwen to activate the relic.
Following that, there was silence.

Dealing with the banshees in frozen ti was nothing short of a walk in the park for the mbers of Constellations.
As Ana maintained the ti bubble, Nadia gathered the banshees in a group while Victoria tied them up with Opal’s help.
anwhile, Ulysses utilized one of his abilities to seal their mouths shut so they wouldn’t make use of their authority over the Domain of Sound.
Soon enough, they had gathered the almost ten thousand banshees residing within the Wailing Peaks at which point, Ana finally released the ti bubble.
"What now?" Ulysses asked while struggling to catch his breath.
"Victoria, has your Spirit found Alex?" Ana asked with Victoria nodding.
"She did, but I can’t sense them anymore."
"What do you an?" Nadia asked with a slight frown.
"Sothing must have happened to them."
"Damn it." Ana cursed. "We need to move!"
