After spending a few seconds lamenting the "loss," Saleen left the Hall of Gods. Since he was allowed to come back in the future, he had no intention of returning the general's badge.
He went back to the Cemetery of Heroes and waited near the general's grave. Nailisi stood at his side, looking obedient. She wouldn't dare pull any funny business in the presence of a level-18 heroic spirit.
She was smart enough to know who she could mess with and who was off-limits.
Saleen had sealed his power at level-12. He needed to get used to things at the imperial city, or he would have a hard time on Myers Mainland. The pain of having his power forcefully sealed could not be expressed in words. Imagine what it would be like to run 24 hours without stopping and without tiring but being forced to walk with a crutch at a speed faster than a snail but slower than a tortoise. Well, that's pretty much how Saleen felt.
