Early the next morning, Ethan and the others went to find Nerissa's group.
The moment Nerissa heard Ethan planned to take them back to Eldoria, her eyes widened.
"Ethan… the dimensional rifts are already closed. How are we supposed to go back?" she asked, genuinely confused.
"I've got a way," Ethan said. "But I can't take too many people. Pick a few dozen. We're leaving soon."
"Alright." Nerissa nodded.
It sounded insane, but Ethan had done so many insane things by now that she'd stopped wasting energy being shocked.
She moved quickly. Before long, she returned with a group of a little over thirty Azure Nereids women—those who had come with her and were most suited to travel.
"Ready," Nerissa said, bringing them to Ethan.
"Then let's go."
Ethan lifted his hand.
A dimensional rift opened in front of them.
Chris and the others went in first without hesitation.
