A short while later...
Levi had arrived at the Solar Aegis Sanctuary, located at the very heart of the Heliodor Holy Region. Unlike the jungle of concrete and glass around it, the Sanctuary stood inside a colossal ancient tree.
Its enormous trunk bore the scars of time as it rose defiantly amidst the concrete labyrinth.
Though its size rivaled that of its neighboring skyscrapers, its massive brown branches reached outward like a forgotten divinity... twisting gently around steel and glass.
It was as if the tree were a sentinel, growing with perfect awareness... never disturbing the structures around it.
As for its leaves... they were nothing short of a masterpiece.
Known as Celestial Crescents, they were unlike ordinary foliage. Each leaf resembled a crescent moon with a single elegant spiral unfurling from the stem.
Under the sunlight, their surface shimmered with hues of gold, silver, and emerald... as if brushed by stardust.
