Hao Ren and the rest went into the deeper parts of Coldfrost Citadel under Claude's guidance. Along the way, Claude started to explain the changes the demon hunters had undergone after Hao Ren and the rest left.
"...Last month, the demons opened a portal, and left Coldpath as promised, and boy did they leave in style. To be honest, I was quite surprised myself. These demons gave me a feeling that they are more trustworthy and reliable than most others. Before they left, they had helped up clean up a number of the battlefield, and that helped our reconstruction work a lot." Claude continued as they went. "The temples within Coldpath are very resilient, and the battle did not destroy the buildings. So the holy sanctum's facilities are still intact, but the energy locus had shut down and there are many massive spell blasts, so Coldpath is littered with the remnants of energy fields and arcane pollution. It's not fit for habitation now and getting rid of those takes time."
