This encounter felt different from before. The Ancestor didn't slam me to the ground as usual. Instead, his voice carried an unusual weakness.
Through the shadows, a frail silhouette drifted slowly toward me.
He gazed up at me and questioned, "How did things go at Earth Fiend Valley?"
I locked eyes with the Earth Fiend Valley Ancestor and replied gravely, "Everything's handled. You don't need to worry."
Hearing my words, the Ancestor spoke urgently, "What about the seal? Did you discover how to shatter it?"
"Yes, I did." I gave him a nod.
"Ancestor, relax. Soon you'll be free from this prison."
The Ancestor threw his head back and cried out, "At last, at last! I can finally escape this cursed realm! Hahahaha!"
"Hold on, Ancestor. I'll go destroy the seal for you immediately," I told him.
The Ancestor bobbed his head eagerly and exclaimed, "Excellent, excellent, magnificently done! When I break free, I'll shower you with incredible rewards!"
