About fifteen minutes later.
A sudden flash of light lit up Prophet's Cave.
Everyone looked toward it and saw that the glow came from a disc in Angel's hand.
The disc was divided into twenty-four sections, each containing a red dot. One of those dots was now flashing, sending out rings of light like ripples.
"That's Elder Xudeda's position!"
"Has Xudeda been eliminated too?"
Yota and Giant City Spirit spoke in turn, then looked up at Angel.
Their eyes seemed to ask whether Elder Xudeda really had been eliminated.
Angel said nothing. Holding the disc, he walked to the crystal slab and activated the Box Garden view.
The view shifted to the cave Instance.
Angel saw another unconscious member of the Crystal-Eyed Race on a stone bed that had previously been empty. The bed's position matched the flashing dot on the disc exactly.

Celestial Change reflected both the inside and outside. Using Imaginary Alchemy, he had then constructed a Fixed-Point Compass with Nightmare Illusion.

According to the Wonderland information he sensed, Xudeda was expected to wake in forty-eight hours—the longest wait so far.
Still, she had already slept for centuries inside a Sacred Corpse Crystal. Her soul had been incomplete to begin with, and now half of it had been stripped
