Inside a dungeon filled with steam rising from fiery pits, Cassian wiped the sweat from his forehead as he mined wind and fire natural crystals with a tiny pickaxe.

One slight tremor, and they could easily plunge into the searing chasms below.
They couldn't use their powers inside the dungeon—doing so would trigger a deadly explosion. This was the most dangerous dungeon within the golden guardians clan, saturated with raw wind and fire energy.

After noticing Ares, both had attempted to escape the clan—only to be captured. That short bastard was very strong, standing at the start of the 6th-stage Celestial Rank.
