"Brother Darian..." Eleri's voice came, getting closer. When he turned, Darian saw the worried looks on the three of them.
He let out a long sigh, trying to calm down. He didn't know exactly what that 'curse' would do, but when the problems came, he'd find a way to deal with them.
He waved at the three: "It's done, you don't need to worry."
Darian then turned to his army of Heavenly Elemental Spirits, who had just wiped out all the shadows. Eldu coordinated them, leading everyone closer.
Nine thousand pairs of glowing eyes locked onto him. Full of expectation and completely euphoric after the crushing victory.
By now, Darian didn't feel awkward anymore, even under so many looks of worship. He looked at them all and declared, "Let's not waste time. We've already finished everything we needed to do in this desert. Finally, it's time to move on."
Right after Darian spoke, a confirmation screen popped up in front of him.
