Emery reappeared in the crossover alongside the nine magus, and his safe return with the group was met with a collective sigh of relief and muted applause. The knowledge that they had managed to gather extra gold medals and kill off many dark elves in the process boosted their morale.

Each magus focused on channeling the celestial energy from the shards into their own beings, enhancing their power and abilities.
