Nameless finished the task swiftly and had already returned control of the body back to Frey.
Frey removed his mask, revealing his exhausted face before turning toward those gathered.
"Ah… you're here."

"That is truly surprising… and quite contrary to what I was told," said Kalameet, the Emperor of Dragons, standing beside Fulghor and the others.
"I thought you said his level was the first stage, yet this man has already reached the third…"
Kalameet found Frey's reputation puzzling and suspected that the Shadow Sect had fed him inaccurate information.
But Fulghor corrected him calmly.
"It was not a lie. He was at the first stage… until today."
