Johan, contemplating the chaos that erupted in Death River, decided to hit the brakes on the revenge train. The explosive encounter and the crimson heavens had left him with a gnawing uncertainty. Revenge could wait; survival was the priority.
With a nonchalant wave, he unsummoned Ken. The fiery skeletal guardian dissipated, leaving Johan alone in the altered landscape of Death River. The mysteries that had once beckoned him now wore a shroud of caution.
Retreating from the enigmatic realm, Johan made a beeline for home. The journey back was punctuated by the echoes of the explosive event, a reminder that Death River held secrets that were not meant to be unraveled in haste.
Back in Daemon, he found Miles, casually hanging out as usual. With a casual shrug, Johan spilled the beans about the crimson heavens, the explosive chaos, and the encounter with the old man who packed a punch stronger than a platinum monster.
