When Sophia returned to the surface area of Shadow City with Elder Lawrence, his appearance underwent a dramatic change. The dark energy contained within Shadow City quickly flowed into Elder Lawrence's body. He gradually began to take on a solid form, signaling that his resurrection process had commenced.
Of course, Sophia noticed the transformation in Elder Lawrence. In response, she took a few steps back, creating distance between them. She concealed herself in a hidden spot, carefully observing Elder Lawrence's every move. Although she wasn't very familiar with him, she felt a deep sense of caution.
After about a quarter of an hour, Elder Lawrence's form finally stabilized. He took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and smiled in the direction where Sophia was hiding.
