While Irving and the others were resting, in another area of the abyss, Elder Astra slowly awakened.
Although Elder Astra was an ally of the Abyssal Demon, he still experienced a severe impact when the Ruins of the Abyss of Death collapsed. Astra had never anticipated that he would one day face an attack from the power of the abyss, so his injuries were more severe than those of Irving and his companions.
Astra took longer to regain consciousness than Irving did. When he finally awoke, he found himself in a completely dark area.
Elder Astra did not act hastily. He held his breath and used his dark powers to probe the surroundings. After confirming that there were no powerful monsters nearby, he finally cast a light spell. A lantern emanating a faint yellow glow appeared in his hand.
