Leaving the trial space, Sabellia returned to Ilai's lich body.
He looked towards Director Sa's original position.
Huh?
Gone?
How was the skeleton missing?
He quickly released a powerful perception, enveloping every nook and cranny of the cave for a careful inspection...
No oversights.
No traces of escape.
It couldn't have possibly escaped.
Suddenly, a ludicrous thought popped into his mind.
Could it be that the skeleton body was bound to the Soulfire and brought into the trial?
Panic lasted but a moment before Sabellia calmed down.
After all, if the trial failed, it would get kicked out.
No need to worry.
No matter how odd that skeleton was, after the trial ended, he had ample time to dismantle and study it thoroughly.
For now, he just needed to wait.
Time was what he least lacked.
The Soulfire within the lich's cranial cavity gradually dimmed as if entering a light slumber.
...
...
In the secret chamber of the Lord's Mansion.
