With the nation in disarray due to the spike in dark energy, there was no choice. From the depths of the chamber of Dragons lie a single draconic tooth. One was enough to be a source of mana to reach those that were not from this world. Bruce's hatred for magic had to be supressed for the good of the land of El.

With the help of the Magician's Tower, they were able to utilize the power and summon a God's Child from another world. Thankfully, upon fully settling in his new fate, the summoned was able to learn quickly with Bruce's help.

Bruce feels his throat tighten up as he lets out a shaky breath. Letting himself feel the warmth of his beloved, knowing this will be the last time he'll feel it. “Don’t say goodbye..”
