Wiserk's body reassembled amid scattered sparks.
Just as he was about to head for the room where Temple Master Yagony was, someone suddenly called out from beside him.
"Wiserk."
Following the voice, Wiserk saw "Bloodfist" Cassius walking toward him. He seemed to have been waiting here for some time.
