Defensive Artifact?
Krune left Cassy for Lakin to take care and called his team members over.
"Cassy's issue is over. As you already know, the Mercenary Selection is just two weeks and some days away. We should return; otherwise, Guild Head Bary might go crazy. We told him we would stay out for some time, though, but just in case."
Yusa and the others nodded. Ao then thought about something.
"Shinja, have you already had a free pass to the Divine Path Sect entrance exam? You could stay here if you want, no?"
Shinja heard that and nodded.
"I also thought about it. But in the end, there isn't much of a difference whether I stay or not. I've already had my soul cultivation technique, and I can use it anywhere. I can also cultivate in any place I wish, so I will go to take a look."
They nodded and went back to prepare for their leaving the next day. Krune went to the Order Hall to tell Hasik he would stay some time out.
