Elder Astra felt a slight reduction in his psychological burden after confirming that Shadow Celestial had left.
Furrowing his brow, Elder Astra pondered for a while before ultimately deciding on the course of action he should take. He did not intend to directly rescue the Envoy of Filth from the Angel Guild's headquarters. He knew that the risks involved in such a move were substantial, and even if he succeeded, the Envoy of Filth would certainly not express any gratitude towards him. After all, his appearance before the Envoy would mean that Irving could act freely.
Instead, Elder Astra resolved to target Irving's allies. The first target he chose was, of course, James, someone he knew very well. After all, Elder Astra had previously made contact with James using members of the Night Blades from the real world.
