Was that malice just an illusion?
The unexpected event came too quickly, too suddenly.
Everything felt like a dream.
Colin realized what was happening, but also didn't fully react.
Swish!
Swish swish swish!
Suddenly, the Supreme Councilors appeared beside Colin.
Seven Supreme Councilors, including Batalov, who hadn't fully recovered, suddenly descended to Colin's side.
By the window of the Wizard Tower's study, the smiles on the faces of Shelley and Lillian gradually disappeared.
Watching this grand scene, they had a vague sense of what it signified.
Without many words, the two flew towards Colin simultaneously.
"What happened?" they asked in unison.
Batalov, standing nearby, replied first:
"The Divines have descended. They have somehow managed to damage the World Barrier at the farthest north of the Extreme North. They'll likely be here in a moment."
His voice was somewhat weak, but his tone was upbeat.
"Don't worry, leave it to us," Batalov continued.
