After some time, the tremors in the arena subsided. However, the lingering presence of something eerie remained, and both Thanatos and the Guildmaster could feel it.
Dolgrim retracted his magic, the malevolent energy dissipating into the air.
Thanatos, his heart still racing, lowered his guard and allowed his aura to fizzle out as well.
"We will put this on hold for now," Dolgrim began, his gaze piercing as he locked eyes with Thanatos.
"There is something that needs my attention," he said, turning his back to Thanatos as he surveyed the arena. "Whatever that noise was, it demands my immediate presence."
Thanatos, still recovering from the adrenaline-fueled battle, nodded in understanding, his eyes fixed on Dolgrim.
"I will attend to this disturbance. Do not leave the arena," Dolgrim ordered, his voice leaving no room for argument. "I will return when the matter is resolved."
