"What happened?"
"Quickly find Your Majesty! Assess the casualties! We..."
Just as the guards closest to the beach wondered why they miraculously survived the shockwave, a shadow formed by sand emerged, and within it walked out the figure of someone holding the Golden Sword.
Suspense gave way to clarity. It was Elizabeth, panting.
"Your Majesty!!"
The guards exclaimed with excitement, unaware that Elizabeth had realized just before the explosion that the shockwave would kill everyone around the palace. So, with Pandora's shadow, she redirected the force towards the ocean, causing the entire beach to collapse into the sea.
Fisher, who attempted to destroy the Prosthetic Eye linking her to the Death Trinity, also rode the shockwave skyward, disappearing to an unknown destination.
The guards, seeing the Empress unscathed, felt particularly relieved, and many maids began to kneel and pray to the Mother Goddess, thanking Her for not letting their Empress die.
