"Sukhacara Sage!"
Venus Immortal, Asura mentor!
Sukhacara!
Indra's eyes flickered as he gazed upon the figure that appeared before him. His expression remained unchanged, but within his heart, it was as if thunderous war drums were beating.
Boom! Boom, boom!
At that moment, the mentor Sukhacara also looked up, and as they faced each other, the sound of footsteps in the corridor came to an abrupt halt.
Both faces were equally calm, and their figures stood steadily in the corridor.
"Antaka, you've returned!"
Sukhacara mentor nodded slightly, silver-grey staff in hand. He evaluated the returning 'Antaka,' then began to speak slowly.
Upon hearing this, Indra's thoughts stirred.
He had absolutely no idea what to say, so he decided to go along with whatever Sukhacara said.
So, Indra brought his palms together in respect.
"I have returned!"
Indra said gravely.
"!!!"
Sukhacara Sage's eyes suddenly brightened.
