The three Pixiu immediately looked at her gratefully. Zhar'khaen said, "After throwing in so many divine artifacts, if everything goes well, it should hold for a day."
"Good. I'll get started now. You all leave, and don't bother me unless it's urgent," Amalia said firmly, ushering them out.
Kenny Lin was the last to leave. He glanced at the three beasts. "So, you all..."
"I need to watch the altar and monitor the barrier's condition," Zhar'khaen said quickly, hurrying away.
"Wait for me! I'm coming too!" Vryss'laar called out, already chasing after him before finishing his sentence.
Kenny Lin turned to the remaining Gor'kan, his expression playful. "Come on, let's go set up the palace's formations."
Suppressing his unease, Gor'kan followed, unable to shake the feeling that things were slipping out of control.
