Yet the current situation far exceeds what he had anticipated.
On one hand, there's the unexpected variable brought by Lady Allen's sudden appearance, and on the other, the potential anomaly within the Bloodline Altar.
"The situation is terrible." Valen looked at the Life Book in his hand, his expression growing increasingly grim.
The flames on the Life Book represent the life statuses of the Crystal Tower apprentices.
Flames that should have been bright and stable are now mostly flickering unsteadily.
Five pages have already gone completely dark, indicating that half of the apprentices have already perished.
This even includes the one whose importance is second only to Eliot—the one with the Special Talent, Lina.
"Allen, I don't have time to continue wasting with you."
Valen's voice was calm, but a flash of worry crossed his eyes:
"The Crystal Tower Squad has already suffered heavy losses. I must immediately confirm the situation inside the altar."
