Bab 667: ....She Has Returned!

Quiet tension enveloped the second underground cave.

After the fight with the angels, Evanthe, Sierra and Drayce were terribly exhausted. Not only were they injured, they had squeezed out their powers to the last energy. Their overall combat ability was pitiful with only the elf Yorian to protect the group until they recovered. 

Meanwhile, Seren was even in a worse situation due to the outburst of hellfire, and though her body did not show signs of damage, no one knew what her true state was before she woke up. 

Since they had to be careful of their enemies, they decided to stay in that cave for a day more. Moving to a different location would have made more sense, and with that being the obvious choice, if more angels were to descend on the mortal realm, they would probably set an ambush in their routes of escape. No one would think they were near the collapsed ice cave.

Staying underground would be safer for the meantime.
