Ash suddenly realized something: "Wait, can you guys return to the Distant Realm now?"
The two of them tried, then shook their heads.
"The Void Realm always allows only forward movement, never backward," Igula said softly. "Now we've left the Distant Realm and can't enter Ruby Mountain... it's just like our current situation. Leaving the Blood Moon, yet not acknowledged by the Dazzling Star, we can only be fugitives stuck in between."
"We can't log into the Void Realm anymore."
Ash was slightly lost in thought, looking dumbfoundedly at his own hands.
Harvey calmly said, "It's not your fault; we just had bad luck."
"At least we witnessed the Faded Dream," Igula said with a light tone. "We're already stronger than most mages in the world."
"Don't say anymore."
Ash suddenly stood up. No matter how beautiful the clothes or exquisite the makeup, they couldn't hide the disappointment on his face.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
