章 1089: Ascension Ceremony [1]

The scene was utterly silent.

Damien and the girls lowered their stances in preparation for combat, staring at the woman who'd decided to join them on the Overseer's back.

The strength she showcased to arrive here and conceal her presence from the very being she was standing on already made them more than wary.

In a sense, it surpassed the restrictions set on outsiders exploring the realm.

Damien frowned.

He had no interest in starting a conversation with this stranger, nor did he want to recklessly engage. Yet, this person also seemed to have no intention of initiating.

She panned her gaze over their group expressionlessly, cracking a slight smile when her eyes landed on Damien.

"Hello."

She offered a single greeting and a nod, raising her hands in the air to proclaim her innocence.

She frowned slightly upon gaining no reaction from the group and continued.

"I did not come here to fight. I want to join your group."
