During the quarter or so of an hour that Severin was not there, Larry, Mick, and their comrades swiftly scoured Skyblue Sect to rescue disciples and administer pills to the gravely wounded.
Meanwhile, on another front, Diane and Gilda had returned with Rachel and Gilda's son Hardin.
When Severin appeared before them out of thin air, Diane was the first to notice Eliza's lifeless form. A vaguely strong aura emanated from the corpse, and its pallid skin was suffused with the law of death. The surrounding space seemed to distort under its residual power, as if on the verge of rupture.
A mere glance at the corpse sent shivers down everyone's spine, making them feel as though there was some kind of inexplicable urge to submit to the corpse. They all knew that the corpse once belonged to a formidable individual that was feared even by heaven and earth. Diane and Gilda, in particular, paled at the sight, as the corpse's aura—bolstered no doubt by the essence of death and destruction—was even stronger than Adrian and other half-immortals in the Grandiuno Sacred Land.
Both women instinctively recognized the corpse as that of a true immortal.
Concern etched across Diane's face as she asked, "Are you all right, Severin?"
"I'm fine," Severin reassured her.
The leaders of the former twelve halls had completed their rescue efforts and came up to Severin. They knelt before him and bombarded him with questions.
"Is Gracie safe?"
"Who did you defeat?"
