"My Queen!" Jabez called out, his voice a mix of awe and concern as he stared at Matilda's back.
The air around her hummed with a new kind of power, a raw, untamed energy that sent a shiver down his spine.
"Let's go back," Matilda said, her voice like steel:
"There are things we need to take care of." She didn't look back, simply moved past the group, heading toward the entrance of the crypt. She was a different person than the one who had entered, her face set with a grim resolve that was both terrifying and inspiring.
'God Wolf must fall.'
The group exchanged a silent glance, then quickly followed, leaving Mitsubishi and Faye behind.
"Her strength..." Faye began, her voice a hushed whisper.
"Yes," Mitsubishi replied, a hint of reverence in her tone.
"She's a lot stronger now. A Divine-rank warrior." She turned to Faye, her gaze serious:
"Get going. I want to speak to my Master."
