Astra doesn’t meet Serana. After the defeat of the Fallen Angel, Astra, artifact in hand, returns to the Church in the City of Lioris. She meets with Dmitrei, who has been waiting anxiously. Unable to cleanse the plague from the city, Astra makes a drastic decision: she uses the artifact to trigger a devastating explosion that obliterates the entire city.
Dmitrei, using his alchemical skills, teleports them both to a safe location just in time. The explosion is so powerful that it also destroys the neighboring invading armies, plunging the region into chaos and disarray. The once-bustling city is now reduced to ruins, and the surrounding lands are engulfed in turmoil.
In the aftermath, Astra and Dmitrei find themselves in a secluded forest, far from the devastation. Astra, burdened with the weight of her failure, expresses her concern about the severe repercussions she will face for her actions. Dmitrei, ever the optimist, uses his trademark humor to comfort her, offering a reassuring presence in this grim moment.
Dmitrei then asks if he can accompany Astra on her future adventures. She agrees, acknowledging that she will need a witness to corroborate her report to her superiors. Together, they set off into the uncertain future, their fates intertwined as they navigate the consequences of their choices. The sun begins to rise, casting a hopeful light on their path forward.
