The moment they saw Aurora, almost all of them took a few steps back, wary of what she was capable of doing.
"Y-You really brought her back," Cleo stuttered.
Lux arched an eyebrow. "Why are you surprised? Isn't that the reason I went to the Pantheon of Exile? Do you think I went there to buy cabbages?"
Cleo's face became flushed because Lux's reply was on point. He had indeed set sail to the Pantheon of Exile to bring Aurora back, but she didn't think that he would actually succeed.
Commander Garen, who was in charge of the Atlas Stronghold, narrowed his eyes.
