"It's Elder Severin!" Luke exclaimed in excitement.
"It is him! We're saved!" Sheila's face lit up with joy. "We'll live to fight another day, it seems!"
Severin's decisive attack had killed the opposing group's disciples within seconds.
"I'm glad I found all three of you together! I can finally rest at ease now." Severin sighed with relief. He was happy to see his three wives along with Luke and Mick.
Severin considered Luke and Mick his friends even though they had since become disciples of the Skyblue Sect and were no longer just members of Dracodeus Temple. He had brought them along with him to the sect when he first came, so he hoped to see them thrive in the sect too.
"I didn't expect you to be here too," Sheila approached Elsa enthusiastically.
Elsa grinned and replied, "Luck was on my side. I ran into Master shortly after entering the secret realm, so we searched for the tower during the day and practiced alchemy at night. I've made lots of progress over the past few weeks."
"Are you now a second-grade low-rank alchemist?" Sheila asked curiously.
"Wrong," Elsa replied. She then stated proudly, "I'm now a second-grade medium-rank alchemist. Not too bad, huh?"
Severin smiled coldly and said, "What happens here stays here, but it's not like we would have to face repercussions if word gets out. We shall not spare the lives of any Horizon Sect disciple that we encounter during our time here."
Sheila, still reeling from the recent ordeal, voiced her indignation, "Yeah! If they're going to show animosity toward us, then they shouldn't be surprised if we treat them the same way. The Horizon Sect needs to learn a lesson from this."
Diane could not help but chuckle when she heard that. "Even if they suspect that our sect's disciples were involved, they can't prove anything if we just deny it."
"It's getting late," Severin observed. "The sun is about to set, so it's about time we find a place to rest. Some of you are injured and need to recover."
