Somewhere at the borders of the Saint Heaven Kingdom, all the members of the Empyrean Talons, aside from Shin, were currently gathered as Arthur had summoned all of them for a mission.
The moment they gathered, Arthur immediately distributed the recommendation letters that he had gotten from Uno while telling them that they could use them to enter the Royal Cities that appeared at the neutral regions between the kingdoms and empires.
Everyone had already cleared their promotion quests and how had Tier 3 Classes. They had also passed the hidden trials and special requirements to be accepted by the God-Slaying Army, which Shin had told them before, so they were aware of what would greet them once they had reached the Awakened Continent.
Now that they had already met all the requirements needed to enter the second continent, they could not travel toward that place and explore new places ahead of the others.
