Double Ambush

Lina's group continues traveling through the universe, unaware of what had happened to Lar's group.

However, they weren't really that far from where it had happened. The area where Liye lived and where he went to reincarnate weren't too far apart from each other, but for a mortal, that distance was something they would never cross in their lives.

Of course, not that far was just relatively speaking.

Still, there weren't news spreading about what happened there. The culprits weren't bold enough to spread any rumors while still being in the area of influence belonging to Liye's faction.

They very much wanted to brag about what they had done, but they didn't know that Aknarel was trapped, so they were cautious in case he was nearby.

In case Aknarel had appeared, the ambush to Lar's group wouldn't have succeeded, but it was impossible for him to be there.
