While Lotus Prince was consumed with despair, he heard a voice while another aether was forming on the other side of Angst. He recognized the aether with its color, and it didn't long before he connected the dots and recognized the owner.
Due to how thick the evil aether was, he could only discern the silhouette of a bulky man with a weapon atop his head, facing the sky. If he was not wrong, it was the Guild Leader executing his Art together with his High-Rank Earth Grade Ax!
The aura he radiated as he was executing his Art was overbearing, and even Lotus Prince could perceive the overwhelming pressure brought by his execution. Of course, Lotus Prince was stronger than the Guild Leader based on the Art they possessed as it was why the Guild Leader was only a B-Rank Adventurer.
But there was a massive gap between them, it was a battle experience.
