Back on the battlefield, as Alix and Elara disappear into the portal, Althea heaves a sigh of relief. Her gaze shifts back to the chaos around her, where demons and humans alike fall under the relentless assault of the monstrous monsters. Beside her, Kaelar, another sect master and her former companion in arms, stands ready for what may come next.
Turning her attention to Kaelar, who stands steadfast by her side, Althea offers a small smile amidst the turmoil. "Just like the old days, huh?" she remarks, her voice tinged with nostalgia and a hint of sadness. "We finally got a chance to fight together again. Though this time, it might be our last."
Kaelar meets Althea's gaze with a soft look, his eyes reflecting the years of shared history and unspoken feelings between them. "I'm not afraid to die," he says quietly, his voice steady despite the gravity of his words. "My only regret is that I never pursued you in this life."
