"Luckily, the heroes left the Heroic Decree with us." The human continued while pulling something from his spatial ring.
It was a spherical object, about the size of a fist. As soon as it appeared, the whole hall was flooded with an intense golden aura. In that instant, Alm and Bruno's eyes sparkled.
"This should prove what I said. The Heroic Decree will allow us to manipulate part of the seal, making it easier to locate and reach the soul fragment."
Mistie and everyone from the sect nodded, understanding. The Decree would only be useful if a true order had been given. As protectors of the planet, they couldn't allow anyone from the outside in, except the heroes. That's why those companions of the heroes showed so much respect when arriving, asking for permission and explaining everything clearly.
'We have two options,' Alm pondered coldly. 'We could throw everything away, use the Space-Time Beasts to silence everyone here, and then run and hide.'
