บท 174: 174. Guild Master.

Ariel was still facing the direction she believed the elf kingdom was supposed to be before saying to herself. "Elena has ascended." And her words surprised Karen.

"What? Elena has ascended?"

"Yes, she has. Those sisters are growing stronger by the day. First, it was Evelyn, and now Elena is in the same rank as me. Why are those two getting stronger faster than the rest of us?" Ariel asked but found it strange when she only heard silence in response to her question.

Ariel was expecting Karen to say something, but Karen remained quiet. Ariel wondered why she suddenly stopped talking, so she turned around to take a look at her.

Once she turned around, Ariel noticed that Karen's mind had drifted far away from where they were.

Before today, Elena and Karen had always been a rank below the Apex Mages, but now, her friend had ascended before her.
