Elias raced downward, stone steps rapidly forming under his feet.
"This time, I must be faster!"
He needed to find out what had happened to Azalea, or the Seal's Sanctuary would collapse again!
Elias sprinted towards the abyss's bottom, his speed so great that he left a trail of blood-red afterimages.
Yet, even in his reckless dash, he never fell into the abyss, as each step found a stone perfectly placed to support his weight.
Upon touching the white light, Elias once again arrived at the pristine Seal's Sanctuary.
The moment he found Azalea, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Azalea was still normal, standing solemnly, with a strange floating shard before her.
"Elias!?" Azalea looked over in surprise.
She paused her actions, staring at the breathless Elias, "I didn't expect you to make it here, but good, join me for this final part..."
"Azalea... wait!" Elias gasped for air, "Don't touch that thing!"
