The dizzying sensation of the world spinning around him lasted for only an instant.
It was morning in the Black Stone Territory, and warm sunlight showered the land.
Compared to the twin suns of the Giant Dragon Realm, the sunlight of this world seemed gentle and pleasant.
Raylo walked up to Astra and once again performed a formal, standard Knight's salute.
"Astra, thank you for all your help during our trip to the Giant Dragon Realm."
"Without you, we never could have obtained these items so easily, let alone escape the Jade Dragon Emperor unscathed."
With that said, Raylo acted without a hint of hesitation.
With a thought, he opened his Spatial Bag.
A brilliant light flashed.
A crystal the size of a human head, looking as if it were carved from jade, appeared before Raylo and hovered in mid-air.
The Heart of the Ancient Tree!
A vast and pure aura of Life Energy spread out in all directions like a tidal wave.
