Yan Jin sat on the platform, Soul Power circulating ceaselessly as dense fire elements gathered around her, radiating a faint glow.
Walter sat cross-legged on a higher step. Over the past few days, he had personally kept watch by Yan Jin's side, scarcely leaving her at all.

Amon adjusted his Monocle and smiled lightly.
"Slimes are indeed one of the options, but there's a better choice this time...
