Shortly after I started, I decided that doing all of it myself would take too long. I called upon Ansael for help, and thankfully, she was able to drive away the demon's observers without much trouble.
However, it took us over a full day just to completely secure all the sanctuaries. Although my energy reserves barely decreased, Ansael had to rest to recover three times. The total amount of energy we had was quite far apart, after all.
"With this, the creation of the new Elemental Cores should proceed as planned,"
I said, stretching my arms.
I turned to Ansael, who was sitting on the ground with her skirt flipped up, allowing me a clear view of the thin fabric hidden underneath. After taking an eyeful, I walked over to her and patted her head gently as a reward.
"Thanks for the help, Ansael. If not for you, it'd take over two days before we could finish placing barriers on all the sanctuaries."
