Chapter 614: Exile Blade    

After emerging from the Queen of Air and Darkness's castle, Ren and Isolde found themselves reunited with Elena and Prince Zeroth at the entrance.

The Prince was busy showering affection on Elaine, while Elena rushed to Ren upon seeing him.

"What took you so long?" Elena asked, concern evident in her voice. "I was so worried about you that I almost stormed into Frostforge Mine to look for you."

Ren gently pulled himself from Elena's grasp, aware of Isolde's amused gaze behind him. He turned to face the others and asked, "Did you get the metals?"

"Of course," Prince Zeroth replied, displaying the adamantite in his hand. "I've been waiting here for you to get back. What took you so long?"

"I've got the Silver, too," Elena added with a smile.

Ren hesitated for a moment before responding, "We encountered some trouble on the way."
