After witnessing the departure of the God of Shadows, Maximus returned to the stronghold.
"Maximus!" Skye exclaimed, smiling upon seeing that he was safe.
Although Maximus had only disappeared for a few minutes, Skye couldn't help but be worried.
"I'm fine."
"That's good..."
...
Soon, the progression of the abyss monsters returned to normal.
It seemed that the god of shadows had truly given up causing problems for him.
After a few hours, the core of the stronghold finally stabilized the place.
Although the abyss aura still surged around them, it was not as manic as earlier.
"Rest first; leave the rest to the puppets," Maximus instructed his guild members and summoned millions of puppets.
"Huh~ Finally, we can rest."
"Thank you, guild leader!"
"What should we do next, guild leader?"
"Now that the core of the stronghold is secured, we can begin construction."
