Outside the cave entrance, the ruin formation had finally stopped glowing. All the corpses had shriveled up completely, having already served their purpose.
Although the runic formation had now stopped working, the five Blood Path Transcendents standing guard outside did not leave their place.
They wouldn't stop guarding the entrance until they saw Sean come out himself.
Meanwhile, Ron who had been constantly observing the runic formation, saw that its glow had finally subsided. He turned to look at Alfredo who was still taking great joy in torturing Bryan,
"The runic formation has stopped working. Does this mean Master has advanced?"
Alfredo stopped what he was doing and turned his head to look at the area around the cave. His eyes shone with excitement, "Yes! It means Master has finally advanced to Rank 4!"
A timely rescue. Thanks for reading!
