The spirit battle was overwhelmingly difficult; Emery's soul was killed several times, and it was only with the external help of King Severus that Emery's soul could revive and continue fighting. After what felt like an eternity of relentless struggle, Emery finally succumbed to sheer exhaustion. When he eventually awoke, he found himself in a comfortable, dimly lit room, with Grand Magus Atika standing nearby.
"Master... the battle... where are we? Shinta! How is she?!" Emery's voice was hoarse, his mind still foggy from the ordeal.
The grand magus told him to calm down before slowly explaining the situation. Emery had been unconscious for three days. While the battle was over, there were still many issues being discussed among the clan leaders, so they had become guests of the Faulen faction.
"As for Shinta, her life is not in danger," Atika assured him, her tone serious. "But she is currently still in treatment."
