A few moments earlier.
Asher's figure appeared within the chamber holding the Villagers and Adventurers who had been kidnapped by this organization. Normally, Asher would have appeared within the guards' room and would have woven an illusion to conceal what he was doing. But he knew that at this very moment, there was no need, as the Emovirae escape would serve as all the distraction he required, yet at the same time, he needed to be fast, otherwise, these Villagers and Adventurers would be wiped out before he could intervene.
With a single thought, Asher manipulated his Star Energy, and the next moment, hundreds of photon clones were formed by him. Without missing a beat, each of them tore toward the cages of the captured Villagers and Adventurers, breaking their chains and cuffs with precise efficiency, and each photon clone brought them toward Asher through instantaneous teleportation.
