However, Ryuneia transforms into a giant dragon, and overpowers Lloyd!

At the end of their “conversation”, Lloyd creates an entirely new Domain Artes! The stage moves towards the Heavenly Empire. The voice of Arsmeria grows ever closer as the holy shrine is opened in the ninth volume of this popular fantasy series!
