Cordelia totally regained consciousness but the blankness in her eyes didn't disappear. In her killing form, any hymn she plays is amplified. Without a second delay she began singing. Her expression was cold. In her sight, all she could see was Zyro, her prey --- and she was determined to kill him.

Her song started with a sad melody but then changed to a faster paced hymn; a deadly rythm. With each note she played, the minds of Iris and Zyro pulpitated. She wasn't sparing anyone, not even her.

Iris dropped her dagger and clutched her head. Her mind felt like exploding, pain which she never experienced. Her body then started to slowly transform on its own. Her sight which was on Zyro who was also clutching and howling in pain switched to Cordelia. She was sitting there, her eyes on Zyro. Iris knew something was wrong but her body was already giving up. She was already in the waters almost lying down. Mustering her last strength, she shouted her name.

 "LIA!!!!!!"

"Enough." These thoughts echoed on Cordelia's, Iris' and Zyro's robbing them their ability to move and instead remained static and immovable from where they were. This was surely Yozai Akira's voice but there was something off as everyone felt their strength being drained and sapped for some reasons.

At a distance, Midori rolled her eyes then whispered to herself before vanishing to thin air. "Such a party pooper.... it hasn't even reached the climax..." 

A sudden turn of events. Now, what would you do, my dear prince. Ira thought before following Midori and vanishing to the shadows.

Eventually, everyone went to a journey towards the dream world, their forms slumping down to the ground and eventually returned to their 'human' forms so to speak. The Baroness used one of the Demon's ability called Manipulation, but this wasn't merely manipulation: it was something more powerful than that.

The sound of a hand being waved was heard, flames erupted, engulfed, and healed everyone before being transported to the infirmary.

The sounds of coughng of Scylla were then heard. Yes, she did: for everytime a female 'serpentine' Smith use their power they also use up their stamina and blood. But only if the seal is 'broken' that one may be able to use their powers that is: in this case Akira did without the Lady's permission.
