The forces of the Nine Empyrean Suns Alliance returned to their golden stronghold positioned directly opposite the corrupted worlds.

Her aura immediately plummeted.

Mikela's corrupted blood explosion had been extremely dangerous.
To avoid suffering catastrophic internal damage, Meylin had been forced to discard more than forty percent of her own body during the blast.
If she had not done so, the injuries could have taken months—or even years—to heal.
