Corvina gritted her teeth and prepared for the follow-up attacks, however, those never ca. Once again, before she realized it, Yoruichi was already gone. Not just her figure, but also the pressure she's releasing.
And since the do has disintegrated, there's now nothing blocking her all-encompassing and damaging light.
The battle has ended so there's no reason for her to unnecessarily hurt others. With that in mind, Corvina, who looked like a sun that descended on earth, returned to normal.
"L-Lady Corvina!"
Corvina turned around and saw Adrenna flying towards her, "Y-your arm..."
She looked down and saw that her forearm was missing. Her shadow wrapped around the wound to stop its bleeding as she turned her head up, "I'm fine. I'm just taken aback since it has been a while since I was injured."
Without saying a word, Adrenna started casting Healing Magic on Corvina's arm and imdiately found the extent of damage didn't stay on her physical body, "Hold on... What? How?"
Corvina didn't answer and just kept looking up.
A few seconds later, Gwenn also arrived while carrying Stralit and asked, "You're not going to chase after her?"
All this ti, Corvina was looking at the several stealth ships that were above the planet, "There's no point. She has already proven herself and she also doesn't work alone."
Adrenna took a peek at Gwenn, 'Of course... If Yoruichi could show the way to her, she could also do the sa for the others.'
Corvina sighed and looked toward Gwenn, "Did you see what happened at the last second?"
Gwenn shook her head, "Nope. You're too bright and I didn't want to risk burning my eyes out."
She stared at her for a few seconds before sighing once again, "You got what you want so go ho." Corvina then turned to her aide, "Adrenna, prepare the gate. We're going to the holand."
Gwenn's ears perked up and asked, "Are you going to take action?"
"I have to if I want to protect her." Corvina replied while looking at Stralit, 'That sword... I wasn't able to feel anything substantial when that giant mannequin appeared due to the man who died in ink. It looks like it's a lot more dangerous than I thought.'
Corvina knew that she had to et the one overseeing the overall situation on the Draconic Deus if she didn't want her to misunderstand Stralit's involvent and connection to such a sword, 'And no matter how much I think about it, this is weird. It shouldn't have been that long since the Draconic Deus was discovered yet soone from there already commands a fleet? No matter how amazing Yoruichi is, I don't believe that this is just her work alone. Soone else should be supporting her from behind.'
"Hooo... I see it now." Gwenn muttered to herself, "I guess I'll prepare for an outing too."
"Do you still intend to associate yourself with her? As your senior, I am warning you. You're playing with fire. A fire that will attract attention and stab you in the back."
"Thank you, but it looks interesting and I'm pretty bored right now."
Naturally, Corvina didn't believe those words when she looked at her eyes that were burning with passion, "Are you still seeking revenge?... No. Forget I said anything and do whatever you want. You're not my responsibility. Though I'm sure that Thea wouldn't want any of these."
Gwenn's cheerful expression instantly turned cold, "...I'll keep that in mind."

Laria hurriedly carried the wounded Yoruichi to the dical bay while issuing commands, "Use Route 3C5BBA to retreat and make sure we're not being followed!"
"Roger!" Multiple voices answered her and most notably, all of them were won. Clad in sleek armor from her to toe, they operated the ship they were in and deployed several barriers to get away as far as possible from the Luxeux-controlled territory. They were the team that Yoruichi and her assistant Laria had gathered and had been training for the sake of various work that the forr required.
"H-how's the boss?" One of them asked in concern, seeing the multiple holes in her body and limping with Laria's help.
"I'm fine. Don't worry about and continue what you're doing. Although I doubt Corvina Luxeux will chase after us, there could be other eyes that are watching so carefully watch our surroundings." Yoruichi answered with a small smile.
Within the dical bay, Laria asked everyone to leave and maintain high alert, "How serious are these wounds?"
Yoruichi laid down on the bed and answered while Laria was attaching various equipnt to her, "Not that serious. That lady avoided the dangerous spots for whatever reason."
"You underestimated her, didn't you?"
Yoruichi was silent for a mont before replying, "I did. And also I misunderstood her ability. She was not called [The Quasar] because she can release massive amounts of thermal energy. She could sohow convert her [Shadow] to an opposite attribute and manipulate light itself."
Laria gritted her teeth, "I apologize... I didn't just gather enough information but also brought forth a misunderstanding."
Yoruichi sighed and smiled wryly, "Don't be. I was the one who analyzed them so it's my fault. I thought that her ability has sohow sothing to do with black holes considering the other data points we gathered from the Luxeux mbers. It seems that she's an abnormality within that clan."
"...What should we do now?"
Yoruichi thought about it for a mont before muttering, "It's about ti I introduce you to others."
Laria's eyes widened and she asked to confirm, "D-do you an..."
"After this, Corvina Luxeux will probably involve herself with Draconic Deus due to the condition of her daughter. I'm planning to bring you back with ."
Laria was stunned for a mont before excitedly holding Yoruichi's hand, "It'll be my honor!"
"Don't get too excited. We still have a lot of work to do before that."
"But what about the others?"
"I'd also like to bring them back with , but now is not the right ti. I will be asking them to hide for so ti because Corvina's inevitable inquiry into Draconic Deus will put us in the spotlight. We have to avoid unnecessary danger."
"Then the intelligence network?"
"It'll be suspended for a while. Inform everyone to make the necessary preparations."
Laria lowered her head, "Understood."
Yoruichi looked at her short gloomy white hair and blindfolded eyes before smiling wryly, 'Even with Seraselbes' support, it was thanks to her that I was able to assemble this group.'
She then looked up at the ceiling's light and thought, 'More Etouldes and Evies will invade... I feel bad for the other girls, but I should ask Kisuke to remain hidden. It'll be more effective if he looks for them in secret.'
