Garen and Alexios had been waiting in the sky on the other side of Mount Olympus for a full day and night, but Ilias never showed up.
To them, this seemed perfectly normal.
The reason was simple: they had completely forgotten that Ilias was already dead.
Since they believed Ilias was still alive, he must be nearby.
A confrontation lasting a day and a night among Soulmancers wasn't unusual or strange at all.
However, back at the Pantheon Guild, there was a problem with the destiny spirit bead that connected all the Elders.
The destiny spirit bead belonging to Ilias, which was kept inside the Guild, had lost its glow.
This meant that Ilias was dead.
This method of determining whether a member of the guild was alive was useful in many Soulmancer organizations.
It allowed the guild members to be informed of any accidents that happened to members who were outside.
