"What a bizarre dream..."
Recalling everything from the dream, Landon still felt lingering fear.
Under Ma'eilimu's influence, the dream had been absurd, yet incomparably real. Even after waking, he could still vividly remember every detail of it.
"Landon? What are you doing here?"
At that moment, the awakened Leo also noticed his deputy's student. As he landed beside him, he asked curiously.
"Well... I'm not sure either... When I saw the strange phenomenon in the sky at the camp earlier, I suddenly passed out. When I woke up, I was already lying here."
Faced with his leader's probing gaze, Landon hesitated and gave a vague answer.
He could still sense Dark Crow's presence. Though he did not know what had happened to him, he instinctively covered for him.
"Is that so?"
Under normal circumstances, Landon's clumsy attempt at concealment would not have escaped Leo's notice as a Ninth Rank.
Fortunately, Leo was not paying much attention to Landon right now.
All he could think about was how he should face the legendary Circle of Truth next.
Before the final assault began, they had specifically sought him out and given him a generous gift. Such an attitude was enough to prove that the Spark Organization held value to them.
Could he make use of this connection to establish deeper contact with the Circle of Truth and attempt to obtain the legendary secret of breaking through the Ninth Rank?
"I understand. Come closer. We're leaving."
Having received Landon's unsurprising answer, Leo nodded distractedly, stroking the Eternal Gold Card in his hand without pursuing the matter further.
Landon obediently stepped closer. Leo swept out his cloak, and the two figures vanished instantly amid a distortion.
Over the following days, everything that had happened on the battlefield quickly spread among the continent's many factions.
