Western Continent, Vorandis City
It had only been a few months since Mira last visited Vorandis, but the changes that happened were substantial. Of course, Maria, better known as "The Saintess," was usually at the center of it all. This time wasn't any different.
However, the reason behind her growing fame wasn't like before.
Around the time Maria broke through to the Soul Transformation Realm, her attitude had taken a drastic change.
If before, she made public appearances every day, at the very least. Now, people would be lucky if they could see her once a week. Even when they did, there was a stark contrast compared to how she was now versus a few months ago.
She seemed a lot more depressed, no longer lighting up the room with her smile. She still did her duty as the face of her organization, and she'd still do her job, but something was different.
