While Irving and his companions were methodically advancing their plans, two elders of the Night Blades successfully escaped back to the Mist Space.
The two elders had sustained varying degrees of injuries during the recent battle. Elder Howard had a lighter injury, allowing him to regain consciousness earlier than Elder Kent. Moreover, in the Mist Space, Elder Howard was able to receive assistance from the mist itself.
Once he regained his senses, Elder Howard immediately began to check if the weapons and items he had left in the Mist Space were still there. After inspecting for a while, he finally sighed in relief. Although Elder Kent had used some of Elder Howard's weapons and items during the battle, the majority were still in their original place.
