Tobias's headless body fell to the ground yet no blood came out. A layer of ice covered the severed part of both head and body, blocking the flow of blood.
Noah put his sword back in his storage ring, and held his injured shoulder where Tobias had almost severed his arm. It was being held together by ice.
"It is over now," he said, his gaze shifting to Chloe and Vlad on the ground. "You did well hanging there."

An hour passed as Vlad fell asleep to recover from the damage caused by Mana Deviation. Meanwhile Chloe guided the rescued back to the city where they were given emergency treatment. Noah tied all the bandits to the trees around the camp and contacted the authorities.
When Vlad woke up, the bandits had already been arrested and taken by the authorities. He opened his eyes to find Noah and Chloe's figures sitting beside him, leaning against the wooden wall of the camp.
"How are your injuries, Chloe?" Vlad asked, the moment he woke up.
