At the sight of the Aetheris Barbarians, Ryuk unconsciously exhaled in relief.
When he had decided to get Antares back to his race, he had meant it seriously.
So much so that it had even become one of his unspoken goals, which took as much priority as any of his other ambitions.
He had thought they would need to search the ends of the world to find them.
But in the end, it was the very first thing he was able to do, with the aid of the group, of course, most especially Elder Celine.
But then, when he looked closer at the Aetheris Barbarians… he noticed something strange.
They were… weak?
Each of the Aetheris Barbarians stood at the Eternity stage, with only two among them at the Apocrypha stage.
Yet, the giants whose shoulders they stood on were oozing with the Exignis stage aura.
And strangely, those giants didn't seem to mind the Aetheris Barbarians riding on them.
'Could they be beast tamers too?' he wondered, bewildered.
