Abby floats forward through the departing demonic clouds.
Her aura is strange.
It bursts outward with a strong green light, but to the three commanders that float behind her, they cannot sense it at all.
Behind her, at the edges of her aura, it shimmers and dazzles with yellow light. It even phases through the demonic clouds without directly interacting with them.
Fisher and Lydia's bright blue and white auras are a far more destructive force on the environment, despite clearly being much weaker.
The four of them take a semi-direct path to the throne but still weave through a few regions of battlefields surrounding the massive black tower.
Without having to confront massive 1st Class Demonic Beasts everywhere they turn, the commanders are much quicker at retrieving artifacts and monster corpses, as it's very simple.
Within a few kilometers of range, an item storage portal can be opened to store their remains. So, they weave back and forth about a thousand kilometers left and right while moving forward through blast zones, as they might as well take advantage of this while they're on the way.
Arie never bothered to loot the monsters when he killed almost a full third of the world's population in a matter of seconds while battling the Dark Elf Lich.
While the majority of their ether stores are drained, and massive numbers of the corpses have been obliterated to an unrecognizable state from the yellow arrows that followed Arie in his battle, there are still hundreds of soul weapons and valuable high-grade materials found just within this small sliver of land on their path to the throne.
While Monk, in particular, is most excited to take an entire lap around the globe to collect the rest of the remains after Arie's fight, the massive black tower that gets larger and larger in their vision ahead is far more intriguing.
The closer they fly toward it, the fewer massive craters from Arie's last fight show up all over the ground.
Instead, the remnants of mountains, valleys, rivers, and wide-open plains are left behind.
Much of the land looks untouched, as though the only thing that has ruined it into a dark black world of nothing but death is the ambient demonic energy in the air.
Only Abby looks down at the strange environment and gets flashes of the fragmented memories she witnessed of this world when it was once lush and filled with living Wyverns.
The three commanders that trail behind her wonder what happened here, and if this is what the human world would have turned into had they lost to the Vermillion Family Demons that tried to claim their throne.
At the same time, a cold wave of energy ripples through them in slow, yet random and chaotic frequencies.
Fisher only recognizes this as the feeling he felt when coming face to face with the Lich's arrow.
Monk assumes there is another tomb nearby or a monster that was left behind and not killed by the other generals, while Lydia, the furthest back, has not yet made any guesses.
Abby, on the other hand, has already sent her perception through this portion of the world and knows exactly what the cold vibrations are.
She puts her hand out and catches the staff rotating around her, then immediately pushes a large amount of soul energy into it. A new set of glyphs on the base of the staff light up, and the rings around its core rotate faster for a moment before another pulse of green light erupts from her.
This time, it doesn't reach very far, stopping once it envelops all of the commanders, soaking them with a soothing, warm sensation.
In the same moment, she activates a restoration circle beneath her feet that expands outward while sending a message to everyone following.
