"LEWIS, I'm going to enter the tree in my Spirit form," Neoma said while looking at Lewis seriously. "I'll be bringing Tteokbokki with me, so I will leave my physical body defenseless."
"I will protect you while you're unconscious, Princess," Lewis said determinedly. "Please come back safely."
She smiled and nodded. Then she closed her eyes and summoned her Soul Beast. "Tteokbokki, are you already awake?"
Her question was met with silence.
While waiting for Tteokbokki to respond, her mind drifted away for a moment.
Before she sent the others back to the villa with the assassin, she talked to Dion and gave the Paladin some points that he needed to report to her Papa Boss. She didn't have the time to give a detailed explanation, so she just gave the highlights of the events that transpired earlier.
["Please tell Papa Boss that I'm fine, but I might get in trouble later for killing a minor god."]
