Whew!
It was over. Finally, it was over.
The three of them sat on the ground, all breathing a sigh of relief.
[Return countdown: 3, 2, 1.]
Light flashed again, and their figures disappeared from where they had just been.
When Fang Hao reappeared, he was already back in his own territory.
He opened the Book of Lords and contacted the other two.
Once he confirmed that both of them had safely returned to their own territories, he finally relaxed.
"Master." Eira walked out of the lord's stone tower and, upon seeing Fang Hao, paused slightly with surprise.
She didn't know when he had returned.
"Hmm, Eira, I'm a bit hungry. Prepare some lunch. Oh, and have someone prepare bathwater as well."
"Understood."
During the trial, time wasn't completely frozen, but its flow was different.
The battle in Elenha Village lasted for seven or eight hours at least, with hundreds of Rotten Corpses wiped out.
Yet upon returning, it was only midday; only about three or four hours had passed.
