Caelus accepted the device and carefully stored it away.
"Thank you, Miss Glaciana."
"Do not thank me yet." Her body began fading into mist. "Survive first. Then we will talk."
With a soft rush of wind, Glaciana vanished completely, leaving only a lingering chill in the air.
For several seconds, everyone remained where they were, still processing everything that had just happened.
Gorn was the first to break the silence.
"What the hell just happened?"
Lucian nervously adjusted his gold chains.
"I think we almost died, and then an ice goddess saved us."
"The entrance to this world sure was eventful," Caelus said with a dry laugh.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Valerica shook her head slowly.
"I've never felt pressure like that before. Those two were on a completely different level."
"Overlord-Rank," Elder Sterling murmured. "Or close to it. We are ants compared to them."
Caelus turned toward the group.
"Which is exactly why we need to get stronger immediately."
