John wasn't fully satisfied, but with the Fox Demon Curse completely subsided, he decided not to push the two women any further.
After comforting them and ensuring they rested, he left Death Land and, along with Avis, returned to the Dragonblood Treasure Secret Area.
John reappeared at the same spot where he had vanished earlier.
Roar!
A chorus of roars erupted as a dozen elemental wyverns and dragons attacked.
John drew the Sword of Divinity and Demons, swiftly cutting them down.
"Where's Malina?" John scanned the desolate wasteland, but there was no sign of her.
With only early fourth-tier strength, she wouldn't have stood a chance against the elemental dragons and wyverns. She was likely in trouble.
John opened his friend list. He remembered Malina's ID, Flow of Time. He sent her a friend request.
The moment he sent it, she accepted.
Godslayer: "Where are you?"
Flow of Time: "Dead."
