Elsewhere, Ethan was examining the changes inside his body.
After Vesperhart disappeared, a brief but abundant surge of time energy had entered him. It flowed through his existing time ability and quickly replenished what he had spent.
He looked down at Vesperhart's body and sighed again.
A familiar presence approached from above.
Ethan looked up just as Seraphina landed with the others on her back.
"What are you doing here?"
He turned to meet them.
"Did you finish off Noxhart?"
Seraphina touched down, and the others dismounted one after another before gathering around Ethan.
"Of course."
One of them answered lightly.
"A weakling like Noxhart never stood a chance against us!"
The others nodded in agreement.
But they all knew it hadn't been that simple. If the green smoke had been allowed to spread without limit, and Ethan hadn't dealt with Vesperhart in time, it would have swallowed the entire battlefield.
