The whole Royal Family is at the door, greeting their unexpected guests when Beta John carries me to the castle, laughing with some Celestial soldiers we met along the way.
I notice every Lycan has a single glove hanging from their clothing with runes drawn on it. That must be their technique to slow the pursuit. I didn't get a chance to see it in action, as we were too busy freeing others to stop and fight. The Lycans can break free on their own, but it often takes an hour or more, putting them essentially out of the game.
These Lycans are also larger than the ones on Earth, the men standing between 2.5 and 3 meters tall. Maybe we're supposed to grow with cultivation? Dominant and more powerful Lycans grow larger than their peers back home, but for some reason that doesn't apply to me. I'm still short.
