With the confirmation from VIA's scan, Emery immediately abandoned his escape plan.
The person he was searching for—Vayerel, the survivor tied to Rosin Karat—was here. Not hidden in a far-off city but standing amidst the chaos, leading the assault from the frontlines. Emery could see him now, unmistakable in presence, radiating the force of a peak Cosmic expert as he battled the guardian of the north post.
"I should do all in my power to get him captured," Emery muttered.
But charging into the battle now would be suicide. The northern courtyard had transformed into a crucible of clashing titans. Dozens of Cosmic experts were locked in combat, their energy crackling and colliding with devastating force. Above, trails of light flashed like comets as spells and artifacts shattered the sky. More enemies poured in through the broken gates, turning the outer yard into a war zone.
