At that moment, a sudden gust of wind blew past. A creature resembling a white dove appeared—yet its body was larger, different, adorned with radiant blue outlines. Its long, flowing tail curved gracefully like that of a phoenix.
It flew to Silvanus's side, lowering its wings to cover his eyes. But clearly, its body was translucent—only the glowing outlines shimmered faintly in the air.
Silvanus's train of thought was almost completely interrupted. He muttered softly, "Fool."
The bird seemed to realize its mistake and opened its beak, speaking in a distinctly human voice: "That's rude, Silvanus. You've become less and less adorable!"
"The system?" Silvanus lifted his gaze, expressionless, staring at the bird flapping its wings in front of him.
The bird seemed genuinely surprised that Silvanus recognized it so easily. It screeched instinctively, "Impossible! How did you know?!"
