The azure car plunged into the Abandoned Land, disappearing amidst the vast Sea of Mist. Before this, Bologue and Lebius lept from the vehicle, using the hook of the Arm of Adaptation to land steadily on the corner of the wandering crossroad.
The two stood at the corridor on the cliffside, gazing into the other side of the Sea of Mist, where violent Ether reactions were continuously transmitted, vaguely catching glimpses of figures fighting fiercely.
Bologue said, "Still a step too late."
Originally, he thought his actions were quick enough, perhaps he could find Teda and Aimou before the battle commenced, but still, Bologue arrived a step too late.
The battle had already erupted. In Bologue's calculations, after the King's Shield Guard ambushed Teda, Aimou and Teda separated, fled within the Great Rift, then ran into him, only to be captured again by the King's Shield Guard.
Lebius leaned on his cane, frowning, staring intently at the swirling Sea of Mist.
