With her existence known to Elluka, unable to take Lukana’s body, and plagued by Haru’s resurging consciousness, Irina reluctantly set up a battle between her and one of her subordinates in the second century EC. After unleashing her flames upon the man, she severely burned his arm before possessing him and killing Haru.

Posing as a benevolent mage that defeated the evil I.R., Irina took the name “AB-CIR” and utilized the man as her vessel out of necessity. Around that time, she met a thief and became well acquainted with him and the Association organization he worked with. Unable to use magic with a male body, the sorceress began searching for a new one to replace it.
