The Guardian of Spirit squashed the Overgrown Monarch and became smaller and crumpled. It's denser and its gelatinous trait disappeared. As if carrying a solid boulder as big as a hill, Ayensi appeared on top of the surface water.

Under the humongous aquatic beast, the sunlight would've not reached the middle, making a small abyss. However, the man in the middle seemed to have his own light, signifying that he was far higher than being mortal. His hair was soaked in lake water, his bangs stuck onto his forehead, and water dripping from his entire body.
When others froze, the people who were fleeing stopped and turned to look around too.
Prince Tulan was carried by the elder counselor by his back.
