By noon, Chris and the others finally came up from the basement.
After a full day and night, they'd successfully turned all fifteen Umbral elites into thralls.
That meant fifteen more Tier 29 powerhouses added to the Fallen Star Squad—an immediate, brutal spike in strength.
Not long after, Ethan led the Fallen Star Squad out of Fallen Star City.
This time, they didn't bring the Fallen Star Guard. Too many people meant too big a target.
The world outside was crawling with Void Realm creatures. If they got surrounded, that was it—game over. Better to leave the Guard in Fallen Star City.
Sure, they had that group of Azure Nereid experts around, but those women had only agreed to deal with the powerhouses from the Eldoria continent. If strong enemies from other worlds showed up, they'd still have to rely on themselves.
